Ok folks. The run kicked butt and was the perfect end to a weekend after our first meet and greet. Here a couple of the video's I took, I am still working on the other one's. It is taking some time to upload them to the internet. Enjoy.

Good vids. I especially like Arin (Hightechredneck) hitting his bumper 18 times before going around the rock.

[USMCHarleyJeepGuy]

Nice!!!

[Hitechredneck]

hey hey easy on the jokes there. that rock lip is much bigger in real life then it looks on the video. remember those are 37's on mine and 36 bias on matts (black rubi) hehe but i did have to keep hitting it to make sure the eddies (groundpounder) bumper was nice and strong. and guess what it is....lol

[trailsnail]

Ok, all the video's are added

[korisu56]

and yeah yeah I know "blah blah battery blah blah! :D:rolleyes:

[Irish_Assassin]

great pics im jealous that i had to work

[trailsnail]

At least your wife brought with her the most valuable tool on the trail that day for you.... her diet coke to remove the 6 inches of corrosion from the battery so you could start the jeep again. Thought you would have been more prepared. No more drinking for you after an M&G or the night before wheeling :D. I just wish I would have had the camera to show JimhatTJ back up the hill after trying to give you a jump.

I'm sure that another one will happen soon, but I don't think I will be able to play until the end of July (hopefully).

[cavjeeper]

yeah went down to pepboys and got new battery clamps and a new battery but and 6 pack of diet coke is now on the list of things to pack for a trip.

I wish I would of gotten pics of that too! the good thing is that it has the wife wanting to fix the jeep up like that:D:D

[trailsnail]

Hope you spent more than $25 on a battery this time.

[cavjeeper]

lol yeah i did not an optima but still a good

[trailsnail]

I know it's a quad battery, but I think it would have been better than the one you had.

[Hitechredneck]

that is just too funny.

[cavjeeper]

funny but true unfortunatly

[trailsnail]

There were two good things about that though, 1st, it was only tighten, and 2nd we were at the trails end when it appeared. If it would have been more than tighten, I think we would have been oh. Maybe a little bit of locktite is needed?
