First time to Reiders and off course i broke something,

my protection plate, get ripped in half



doing this



i would have made it through but i high centered my self



here is some other pics during the day

 

Getting pulled out backwards? Time to make a real bashgaurd

 

that was a fun trip. yeah that skid plate didn't stand a chance hahaha. i am hoping sean sends me some of the pics that he got. should do it again sometime. i will be interested to see what you do for a skid plate....


oh and it's Reiter

 

ah reiter pit, trucks dont last long up there

 

I have run the stock skid on my 4Runner for years. Just depends on what you hit i suppose.

btw don't feel bad, my first time out I ripped my front bumper off....showing off on a stump

 

My skid plate has withstood much more then that. I am reinforcing it now though after hitting boulders it was kind of smashed. So was that a rocky pit that you were stuck in? Or was that not where it happened?

 

i need to get my pile on the road again and hit up reiter......

 

lets get a group together for next weekend or something, i havent been out there in forever. anyone down? ill bring straps and beer lol

 

whats the quad riding like up there?

 

Naw, he high centered the IFS cross member in the mud and in the process of trying to get himself out, he kinda dug himself in. When i tried to pull him out the first time, 1. one of the strap broke, 2. the skid plate dug in like an anchor. The second time we used two good 20000 pound test straps and gave it a go and out he came. the skidplate didn't want to come with, ripping it from it's mounts and contorting it in a very odd shape. all in a day of wheeling.

it's actually pretty good. lots of quads and dirt bikes up there. I ride my dirt bike up there too.

 

ya we will defiantly have to do it again
and cant wait to see sean pics,
just post them on here

 

i was just checking my truck over today, and guess what
i tore my cv boot almost in half,
and it is a pain in the ass to replace, you have to take off everything to get to it

 

No you dont, just unbolt the LCA and it comes right out.

 

are you joking,
uhhhh that would of been good to know before i tore everything apart
well thanx for the heads up, next time i tear a cv boot ill do it right

 

ouch thats crazy.. washington huh cant remember where that is but i know i used to ride there..lol ..some good wheelin.

 

wow..you high centered in that..lol..i've been in ruts that were made by 33's..and i have 31's...never did i ever get even close to high centering..my friends F-150 (4x4, auto, 302, 4in lift and 33" ssr's) has to floor it in 4hi to get through the stuff that i go through in 4 hi 1st gear barely even gettin on it...i have gotten high centered before..but it was in ruts made by 44's...so it was a given..LOL..i go through stuff in 2wd what dodge and chevy 1/2 ton 4x4's get stuck in..in 4 hi and 4 lo...its amazing what good a set of MUDDIN TIRES will do for ya..lolthey've saved my ass on more occations that i can count

 

that sucks dude.

Here are some of my friends cell pictures.

here is the skid plate.

 

nice. I want to go there haha

 

yeah it's a neat place. to really take advantage of all of the trails you need at least 33's IMO and or lockers. but there is a ton of places around here to wheel.

 

aaawww, wook at da widdle Jeep in da back-wound...

lol, nice man, good times it looks like; broke stuff always makes good stories
