Chinamans 3/31
 

Trip was an all day event. There were two big Jeep groups in front of us. We met up with Todefy at the trail head and bjarker at the rock garden. I struggled most of the day, I think I was trying a little too hard to impress my passenger.... :lmao:. The shakedown for Al's 84 and Forrest's 86 turbo turned out pretty well. They both did great out there and there will be a few minor changes to their stuff. I came away with some new body damage and a fragged rear drive shaft. Forrest's girlfriend did great in her stock Cherokee. Did all or most of the obstacles, but came away with alot of body damage. Its time for some :saw: and some :welder: for her.

He sure is brave running his exhaust right there. Looks like fun.

WOOT! lol..... GREAT pics, Zach(everyone)

I wanna go.

That is about the only place he can run it until he gets the money for a custom exhaust. His turbo dumps out at an angle and puts it right in there.

Thanks Mark!

You definitely tag along with us sometime. Tons of fun

Yeah but u always go when I'm working an stuff.

NICE!!!! looks like you guys rocked it out; andwhat a beautiful day

We will try to get the next trip out planned early enough for ya. It would be cool to see you out there with us

It was a blast! And the day was one of the nicest for wheeling, although we all got REALLY bad sun burns.

Here is my carnage haha

And my cab corner and bed side from the earlier pics

Nice pics. Looks like you guys had some fun. Little trail damage, but it will buff out :).

It takes skill to dent the hood. Nice pics man!

Haha yeah man it was a great time. You should come along next time we go.

Thanks!

When I get some tires, cv's and a few more little odds and ends I'll run with you guys. Looks like a fun trip. None of my friends really wheel anymore sadly. I'll be living back up in Evergreen in a bit so even short day trips won't be a problem. How is Slaughterhouse gulch looking these days? I haven't been up there in probably 10 years and heard it's gone through a lot of changes.

P.S. If you need a rear Drive shaft I have a spare that won't fit my current truck. Came out of an 86 4Runner.

Heck yeah! we are always looking for more people to run with us. Slaughterhouse sucks now haha. They have totally flattened it except one part on the loop. Its like a Sunday drive.

That sucks, stump hill was good times. Let me get my rig in better order and I'll hit you up. It's been a long time. Some Red Cone is in order as well.

Yeah Stump hill has been closed totally for about 5 or 6 years now. I am so down to run Red Cone. I have never ran it and we were talkin about running it the other day. Definitely hit me up tho
