Went rock crawling last weekend. - 03-20-2007, 01:36 PM

Went wheelin on Sunday with a few good friends from my R/c rock crawler club. We ran all of green trail, about 80% of orange till the locked wrangler nearly got stuck in the deep mud. We played in the creek and quarry for a while to.









Got to love rock sliders, definitly got my moneys worth out of them this weekend.












Attempted a crazy greasy hill climb possibly left from a superlift event and bumped the side of the pit wall breaking the plastic clips on the flare. No body damage though. Locked wrangler didn't make it any farther then I did.





Hill at the start of orange The hill has some dagger like rocks at the top. Spotter guy just wanted to be sure my diff would clear. Trail sign said winch required, tight brush. Trail was very very tight sometime trees where just a inch away.


This was a pretty grease like tight hole on orange.


Jeep going in




Me going in








Very steep hill, on the way down the wrangler was on two wheels.








A set of hills on green where way harder then what we found on orange. I high centered on the frame at the top of one forcing me to back up and floor it.










Bumper is in the dirt.








One big slider scar.



After a while we busted out the r/c's.

So do you drive the 4wheelers daily, or just to-from the spots you run them?

I was on 355 a while back and saw a small red truck, maybe an older Pathfinder, well something that size anyway, that had an exterior rollcage system that looked like it would protect it from tree, rocks, etc. It was wild to see it on the hiway. Everyone gave him lots of room


got paint?
