Good luck, probably about 3 ft still in that baby, it sees almost NO sun, and with the cold weather...

The guys were going with went last weekend and once this last week. I also had some guy in a stock chevy start talking to me about wheeling at the gas station sayin he made it back to the waterfall in his stock full size on thursday. He said he had to head back to town but it wasnt too bad.

Today was a BLAST!!!!!! I questioned my truck going up in the dry and now i know im fine. I had to be winched out once and roped out once but other then that i did ok . Both times were a mix of driver error and the slick with crap tires.

I did wind up with some damage tho. Broken taillight a dented fender(tire) scrapes on the drivers door and fender from a huge rock i was sucked in to but no dents. and i cant see with the ice from the drive home but the bed was drug along a tree coming through the first open part.

There was a dodge on boggers stuck from the night before. I guess he was pulling someone out and slid down and shreaded a tire. He was back when we came down got it out and swapped the tire out.

Heres the pics and vids. I had proof that a 22re will run on its side today lol



Passenger front tire was shreaded.


The toy









Ok so the bobbed 4runner is on body #2 the guy really isnt all there. Im not going to sugar coat it....Hes INSANE! After running laps around us waiting for the last jeep to come around the corner after being stuck he starts to get stupid.
The term he was screaming was " GET SOME" and he got it



and the vid of ti being flipped back over. I wish i would have kept filming cause right after it settled the guy in the back who had broke a window dropping the chains back in was so serious and said "Dude im sorry about your window"

Wow - it looks so totally different with all the snow. Looks like you guys might have got lucky that the snow was covering all the ice.

Might need to put on the TSL's and head up there...

I was up there with my bald M/ts and was fine minus the open diff thing.

If i would have had a locker i would have been fine both times
it was just the one would grab and the other would spin

Its really slick up there. I dont think 1/2 the guys made the waterfall. all the jeeps and the s10 were locked gears and had smallblocks in em. The green jeep only made it to where i got the pic of him and stopped. The runner was 4linked bobbed welded rear and locked front. His 4wheeling styles more baja or rock racing tho.

Up at the top a buddy and i thought we would be slick and hook a rope between us so if he got stuck i could back up and if i got stuck he could keep going and id fallow...he slid down this hill sideways and my door and fender met this rock









I love this pic






CAnt wait for the next run....I was starting to focus on my bimmer and not the trucks..Im back in focus

the only time i hit anything that sliders would have helped was the rock i was drug in to. and it was so mid door so i doubt it would have done anything. that doors trashed because its been dented badly before. I can push my doors in and get the dent but as soon as i close it they pop out lol its kinda cool

Im going to be getting a set here pretty soon tho. i think something to save the body would be best. I drug the bed on a tree and broke a tail light. I leaned the truck up against a rock sliding in to a bad line and couldnt avoid it and the door dented but popped back out. the bed seems fine but it was covered in ice so i think it might have saved it. The taillights dead but oh well it was cracked anyways.

those kinda "mistakes" get costly when glass is involved
