Jackson Gulch 12-6-08

The Yuma4wheelers ran out to the Jackson Gulch here in Yuma, it's one of the harder trails that the club wheels. The group included 3 toyota's (pickup, 2 FJ40's), a Razor RZR (I rode in this one and was a blast made it though most obstacle without a hitch, we were on 3 wheels quite a bit though) and 5 Jeep Wranglers, a Jeep Cherokee and Toyota/Jeep hybrid.
We had no breakage on this run but one Jeep substained damage to a front fender and bent steering and suspension components. The Cherokee about lost the transmission (the cross member came loose casuing the transmission to hang) and about it rolled (see video).
Here are the two videos I have (same area, first rock garden/major obstacle on the trail, sorry for the quality I was to close in the videos).

My 4runner isn't built at this current to run this trail, plus I like my paint.

Photo's to come later.

The Razor.......

All the vehicles had lifts the white jeep was open front and rear and had no sliders - it suffered body damage to the lower rock panels and took alot of the skinny panel and fanesting to get though some obstacles.
