Yjunk and i ran out ther today. Damn we used to run through that trail and back in less than 30 minutes for both directions...
Today was a different story. dont know if we're just rusty from summer but damn we... I had issues :D lost a shock and rode my front driveshaft pretty damn good. No real damage to the shaft except for the dust boot.
We didnt make it all the way through do to the deep crossing near the top being full of thick sticky mud that neither of us wanted to get stuck in.

Yes we had to stack me off that so my driveshaft didnt take any more of a beating... yes we unstacked it. I wouldnt be excited bout it being harder now only to go stack and pave it again.

yeah Glenn you woulda hand to grind your way through! It was wicked compared to normal. It wouldnt have been AS bad had there not been water in some not so great spots.
Shan we woulda camped with ya if you got that wedged :D
Ryan we could see the DEEP ruts that youo guys must have left. thats part of the reason we decided not to chance it. We thought half a minute about trying the high line around the left of the deep cross but then we laughed when we ACTUALLY thought about how our rigs would never make it!
I wanna go back. i have some spots in that trail that i owe some beatings

X2!!
This was just a tough day out there... felt like work but I think we laughed our way through most of it. I just feel bad cause I'm getting old and Shnipe ended up carrying most of the rocks today... I was still pretty whipped from yesterday and couldn't even pick the small crap up. Sorry dude!
I'm actually glad we got to wheel it like this though; the holes were deeper, the rocks sittin higher and the little bit of water that was left made it very challengin... The fact that we made it to the nasty water/mud pit felt like an accomplishment.
Now if we can just get up that friggen line on the left. We've both made it about the same distance but just can't get through the last part...
I probably get the dope award for cracking my fiberglass hood with my own strap... DOH.
Oh Yeah... Flex-a-lite Fans SUCK!!!... think I'm just going to have to go back to a stock setup.
