What happened to the rubicon? No.. It didn't leave a bad taste in my mouth. Just made me realize that I need to upgrade my weak links and come with more tools than my iPhone. I never once ever ever had the thought cross my mind that I would be doing trails that I could have, and almost did, rolled down with my kids inside. I will try to be more selective and prepared in the future. That almost roll over was all I could take for the day. The. I made it all the way that one hill and couldn't get over the big rocks at the top... So when I tried to back I ended up sliding half way down the hill backwards and all I could think was... Here we go again. haha thank god I stopped. That was when the snatch line pulled me up btw. I was just too afraid to back up anymore in fear of going all the way back down. Anyways, lessons learned.
Btw for any one curious.. What caused that near roll over at the beginning was right before I went down I saw how deep the ruts were and was afraid if I went in them ID just drag or get high centered. So I tried to go down on the side and the middle (tall) part of the rut and when I did the front driver tire dropped down in the rut pulling the front of the truck to the left and my rear wheel dropped on the right side turning me crooked.. The rest was history. I should have just started in the ruts and worst case just scraped all the way down.
But yeah.. I didn't see much of anything there that was okay for a stock rig unless it came dolled up from the dealer. Again.. I'm just thankful I made it out in one piece and no one got hurt. People I didn't know got under my truck in the mud, patched me up and put themselves into some shady situations to help me out. I don't know if they were club members or not but I they were awesome. I'll come back out for sure.
