Well the trip to Brown's camp was fun! Untill I hit a trail called the Little Rubicon

Well the other side of the trail just shows it's a double diamond and says powerline trail nothing about the little rubicon because I saw the little rubicon the night before and decided I wasn't ready for it.
Well anyways we hit the trail about an hour before dark and it was pouring rain and prolly 20mph winds! So I thought I could take the easy line unfortunatly the clay wasnt having me turning that far to get on it. So i tried backing up some to get a better angle after about 20 mins of this with adding tension with a handy man jack on the rear slowly inching my self back up BAM BANG no more 4wd my Birf goes so here we let her sleep hanging from a tree stump

SO we headed out early this morning to save my little truck using our noodles at camp the night before we decided we would pull my winch off my bumper and hook it up to my buddys samurai and anchor him to a stump and lower me down to the harder line so my truck didnt slide off the 10 ft drop in the center of the lines.



This Where we let it loose from the winch and i did the rest of it in 2wd these rocks are alot higher then they look! the grond is prolly 5 feet down from where im parked now theirs just a big boulder that looks like the ground in the picture.















Then she was trailed home from this point so soon to come dirty 30's

a birf eliminator is about as reliable as upgrades chromo birfs with stock inners. Basically you're converting the axle to a weak D44 IMO

x2. East coast wheeling seems pretty similar to WA, all the toyota guys I know w chromo inners/birfs run 38-40's and beat the piss out of their trucks. As far as I can tell its nearly bulletproof as long as everything was installed correctly.

Ok kinda what I thought just wanted to check. Since their the same price. Hopefully I'll get my deposit check back on sunday and then I can order my dirty 30's next week but will see if I get it all back
