WV 4Wheelin' (56k beware)

Wazioc · 10-07-2006, 05:38 PM

So, decided to head out for a day of 4wheeling. Hit 2 local trails; Beaver Hole and Wonder Falls. It was a blast! Found some Big mud holes to play in, some hills to climb, and some rivers to cross. Ended up backing into a rock with the rear bumper, hitting an underwater rock with the front bumper both on mine, and then the 95.5 taco got a flat on the way out. Onto the pics:

I think my rear tire is off the ground here. Steep drop into the hole I guess

Hill Climbing

Yep, this is where my front bumper hit... really big hole I didnt see

This is the deepest I've ever been in the water

Look at that monster (with the jeep sitting on the sidelines)

And a good ole flat tire to finish the day off. And for a story to go with it: Earlier that day I loaned him my pump to fill his tires because one was low. Well his cigarette lighter melted the tip of my adapter which is why the tall guy is holding the ends of the wires on my battery to power the pump. As for getting the tire on the truck, every time we would jack it up, it would slide down the hill, so we had 6 guys trying to hold it while I jacked and the other changed the tire. Once we got the spare on we realized it was flat... which is when we cut the tip off the DC adapter and improvised.

I had a blast. Cant wait to get ahold of some new rear suspension. These stock springs bottomed out about 100 times today. 4 people in it most of the time and 6 in it during the river crossing. Need some help finding some used OME 891s

Hope you guys enjoy!

Where in WV are you from?

Our big place in Ohio (Wellsville) is getting shut down and we need to find a new spot to wheel in.

nice ... fog lights work now ?

Wazioc · 10-08-2006, 02:34 AM

LOL, my foglights quit working a few months ago, and still havnt figured out why... kind of annoying... As for the location, I'm currently in Morgantown, WV and as far as I know these are the only 2 decent places to offroad.
