Let's see all those pics and videos!
We had a great, dry day out there yesterday. It was great to meet some new people and see that little Cherokee on three wheels a couple of times.

I had a great time. Amazing weather, and a great riding crew.
Some guys came by the camp to ask for help because, "there's a bit of situation". And he wasn't lying... it's hard to see in that picture, but there was a huge hole under the driver front tire, and that ditch is 10+ feet deep. Justin took control and got them sorted out. That guy was fortunate on a few fronts.(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20220814/c27c18ef48cfc3960580c6fe41a6b1f1.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20220814/b22af56ea12d4c587d030adf592faa24.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20220814/2a181e05ebc87b5f8864338cae447652.jpg)

I've tried this same obstacle at the top of cherry bomb several times and have never been successful. But now my passenger panel is scratched up and matches the driver :(

Didn't get many. Good times, good recoveries, glad Jason is ok.
Homeboy with the red Gladiator got really lucky, that could've been terrible for him and his rig. Big props to Clark, the guy didn't have enough balls to jump back in and help drive it out, so Clark did.

Was the red gladiator thing later on Saturday after Jason, TJ, and I left? That was the guy that was stuck and blocking the trail when we started to go up Burrow or Picnic I think. So we went to Arsenal…
Definitely very glad everyone made it out safe, many thanks to all you guys who came over to help us on Arsenal/Cooler Dumper. Really fortunate on multiple fronts there. Glad to have all you experienced and capable guys to help out, and being willing to drop everything immediately to do so.
I didn’t get any pictures. Small tire group ran Scenic View, Carnage Canyon, Cherry Bomb/Terminator, and Rubicon before lunch and we had a great time. Perfect dry conditions, I was a rookie and didn’t use bug spray. The chiggers appreciated that.

Chiggers and ants got me a good bit. Justin got zapped by some hornets; luckily he isn't allergic to them... could have been really bad.
It was late Saturday night; 10 pm or so.

We ran Rubicon right before heading back to camp for lunch. Went to Arsenal after lunch and that was our last trail, we’d had enough excitement at that point.

Ok so here is the video of my little "accident". Still makes me a little sick to think how bad this could have been...thank goodness for small miracles. A few bruises to show for it, but am ok, overall.

Here is a copy of the video description, which has the back-story...
OK, I will preface this by saying I am an idiot and this is 100% my fault. Thank jeebus no one was behind me. Was at Choccolocco Offroad park with Georgia Trailriders today and was having issues with my front locker all day. Which meant a lot of winching on loose, rocky soil. When I was trying to winch up one trail, my winch rope broke at the attachment point. I thought I had enough wraps to still pull me up. So, I'm in the Jeep and it's in drive, and I get out (what I think will be briefly) to see if the winch can pull me at this time. We decide to unspool the winch and re-attach the rope. The jeep is hot from pulling already, so I decide to turn off the jeep while we work on it, totally forgetting it's not in park (NEVER LEAVE YOUR RIG WHEN IT'S NOT IN PARK!!). As soon as I key it off, it flies backward down the hill and eventually catches the bank and turns on it's side. Amazingly, only minor body damage, and not even a broken windshield. We flipped it back on it's wheels (great group, GATR...never leaves a man behind!!) and after turning the motor over by hand for a bit, I was brave enough to try & start it and it fired right up! I must be living right....or got lucky or something. I am sharing this because I don't want anyone else to make this mistake. Ugh
I don't think I've ever done that before that day...gotten out of my rig while it wasn't off or in park....was frustrated and got in a hurry and learned a very valuable lesson. Thanks to all who helped me get it righted and started back up.
I have a bunch more GoPro video I need to go through...I will make a full ride video soon. I will post some more pics here shortly, including my axle, which was the start of this mess...

pics 1/many

Pics 2/?

OK, well this stupid site doesn't want to let me put more pics up. When I pulled my front passenger axle today, it had broken at the splines. Need to retrieve the end of the axle. The broken axle (what I thought was a locker issue) was the reason I was limping around all day. Will try again later to post pics...not sure what is happening.

Renegade?

Yes, the red Jeep thing you drive is a Renegade correct? I am asking if you actually did Rubicon at Chocco and if you had any damage.

It’s a jeep Cherokee and no I did not. You are mixed up with with what grasshopper said as we left after eating lunch.

Thanks for the clarification, hard to tell when all the new stuff looks the same. I saw on FB where you said you ran Rubicon so I was curious

When we ran Scenic View, Carnage Canyon, Cherry Bomb, and Rubicon we had dropped off the Cherokee and Zack and Laura jumped in with me. So it was just me, TJ’s Grand Cherokee on 35s, and Jason’s TJ on 35s on those trails.
We ran all those before lunch, and after lunch Zack left, so TJ and Jason and I decided to check out the west side of the park, lots of blue/black trails over there.
I started to go up one of the trails but that same red gladiator that you guys recovered later that night was stuck on one of them, but we were all able to turn around and go back down to the bottom, back onto Arsenal. So then we ran Arsenal to the point where Jason couldn’t get up the hill and his jeep decided to take a nap.

[mention]RedDragonATL [/mention] that video is nuts! So glad you are ok, that was a close one and I didn’t realize how you had to jump up out of the way. The sound of it from the top of the hill was awful. Scary shit for both you guys.

Lol.
Upgrade time for some quarter panels. Might as well stretch it, and if you're going to stretch be sure to get bigger tires, and if you're going to get... you know the routine.

Is your camera on a gimble setup of some kind or are the new ones just that smooth? Nice editing btw, maybe @BlueJew could finish our CO vids from like 2018 sometime so we could see em.
@tj05world did you get a winch line hung on your back bumper? Something is hanging off back there and I cant tell.

It’s a old winch line from my tj and I use it for helping my grandma out with pulling out rose bushes out or me.

No, the camera isn't on a gimbal. They are better these days, with stabilization and horizon leveling...I didn't do anything in the post-processing to smooth it out, so it is what it is.
Here is part 2!!
