So this was the First true Tail Trip for both Tess and I.
We went to Paragon Off-Road Adventure Park in Hazelton PA.
It was me with Tess, A Friend In A Jeep Grand Cherokee With a 2" Lit and Wrangler MTs, and another Freind with a Skyjacker Lift with Wrangler MT/Rs.
One of the Passengers in the Heeps wanted to Drive Mine, I quickly got pissed and sent him on his way...

And Hour In Going up This Hill....
Which I did with ease and supprised them all!!

The Heeps had some issues...
The Grand Cherokee Flew up the hill and nailed a rock getting a hole in his front driverside tire...

The other didn't realizes that he was burning oil and almost seized his engine...

Thanks!
She Held Up Outstandingly!!
I didn't get any damge or have any issues while I was out!
The Heeps on the other hand did...
I just to my time, I am a very calculating driver (since it is my DD as well I didn't want to go screwin anything)
But I went throught what the heeps went through, some with more ease then the heeps
And they had a Mud-Terrian type tire while I was ridin All-Terians!

It is all in the Driver, One of the heeps switched dirver and ended up doin alot better than witht he previous driver (likes the skinny pedal a little to much and just really isn't made for a stick...)

But Tess Ruled!!
It went through stuff, that I thought I would get stuck in or have trouble, with ease!
I really underestimated her...
I feel really bad that I did...
But I Know what my yota can do now!!

99LimitedKS 01-13-2007 09:46 PM

The Heep on the other had did have issues here and there, they didn't get stuck, they just had difficulty doing some of the obsticles.

Oh Yeah, Def!
Where are you located?
And hey, if your truck isn't done, you can still come for a rid and see what it will be like when it is ready!


Update: Hopefully another 50 min and the Vid will be up!

YotaFun 01-14-2007 04:09 PM

UPDATE:

Here is the vid, I also posted the link in the first post, but with all those pics you might miss it so
Enjoy!

RedRunner_87 01-14-2007 07:13 PM

Wow! Any reason to bash Jeeps. To be frank...the drivers suck. The Wrangler needs to learn how to wheel with a stick. The ZJ needs to take his freaking time. I have the exact same set-up on my ZJ(2"BB) and could have done that way better. Its not the Jeeps it is the drivers.:horse:

Normally I woudl agree with you 100%
But they switched drivers and even then while they wer better in some places they still had some issues...
I think it's because they threw everything together in a week and didn't test it out...
There were other jeeps on the trials that day, and they looked great!
Didn't mean to bash them so much, but if there set-ups were just a little tighter I think the day would have been better as for that hill climb john and jake are borthers, and they seem to share there driving skills

Dereck and Pete took over ther rigs later and did what they could and did a way better job but still had some issues.

All in all i am sorry for the jeep bashing now that i review my vid and see that i am very bias...

RedRunner_87 01-14-2007 07:22 PM

Its cool...just that bashing was kinda uncalled for in this video. I go out with my friend with a 05 4Runner w/3" lift. He can do some stuff...I can do some stuff. Be we are equals. IDK...yotatech has a big Jeep bashing thing, just don't understand it. Both are very capable...ZJ's to 4Runner's. Both have their pluses and minuses...lets just wheel!:bowdown: I used to be one them I admit(Jeep basher), but since I got my Jeep(step-dad's decision), I have grown to love it. Wanted a 1st gen again but he bought me a Jeep.

EDIT: Nice video...looks like a pretty sweet park. I would def want to hit that up if I was closer.

Yeah i am learning, really i am to get that jeep bashin gene out of my system.
I agree each has it's own, I think the Zj would have been a little betterin this case if he had tuned that engine of his and fixed his t-case issue...
