Made a quick trip to uwharrie national forrest Saturday.

Had a great time teaching the in-laws what their Jeep is really capeable of
Here are some pics;













The stock Jeep did well and thy are looking forward to doing more in the future.

 

What Jeep? (thank God there are no pics of it)

And who slapped your pass side d-light?

 

NO pics of the Jeep. It is RED and looks like every other one on the road
LOL that was aimed for 'coon huntin'
Actually the nut is hard to get to with the winch and all. I tried to tighten it Friday, but it wouldnt budge. I will pull the bumper off soon and get it tight again!

 

yes the good ol dust bowl

 

Fun, Fun... what trails did you do.... I see dickey bell..did you do daniel, dutch john, and rocky mtn loop?

 

No we went up Falls dam and down through slab pile. Nothinig hard at all because we were with the inlaws in their stock Jeep.

 

cool sounds like fun....I should be back there this fall. Oct/Nov time frame.

 

Sweet! are you making the Fall crawl also?

let me know when you are going, we will come up and ride with you.

 

Definitely will be at the Fall Crawl.

I usually head to Uhwarrie twice a year with the isuzu/honda/toyota/ anything goes group from the wire. Already have my season pass. 5+hr drive for me though.

Looks like things are in the planning stage now. 4x4Wire Uhwarrie Thread

 

Well URE is 3+ hours for me and its the closest place for me to get to. : )

I am down for that run, as soon as I get my rig fixed from this last weekend.

 

what's the damage report?

 

No trail damage, but the passenger side hub stayed locked in after I unlocked it. that meant that the front drive shaft was turning on the highway. The drive shaft let loose (U-joints) half way home and destryoed itself and some other things that were under there like the fuel lines! . They arent leaking right now, but they are damaged enough to need replacing.

the rear locker is totally gone now and has to be removed and replaced with a new one. We were lucky to make it home the way it was.

 

Great pics. Glad you guys had a good time. When did you notice the hub was still engaged?

 

I noticed it as soon as I got up to highway speed. I stopped a couple of times and couldnt get it to come free. So, I drove it like that until it let loose. If it had new U-joints on it, everything would have ben fine, but they were old and worn out.

 

that bumper (RADLANDS) looks cool so it's radland.com goin there now

 

Actually that is a Badland bumper. The sticker is from "the badlands" in Attica In. I made a trip there last year and got the sticker.

Here is the website

Talk about ironic. I post on your thread & go out & grenade my u-joint today...luckily I didn't hurt anything else...

 

dude, you got a nice runner

 

Did the Jeep take the same line you did on those last few pics, or did it swing to the left? Is it a Rubicon that they have? I would be impressed if they took the same line as you with a stock Jeep.

 

LOL no they didnt. It is a stock Jeep unlimited. They had a hard time on almost everything. But They had a great time doing it and will be back again with mods to it so they can hang better next time.
