Carnage 3/17 Pics

This rubicon was stuck in the pinch for about 15 min. He pretty much just freaked out and wouldn't drive forward. I walked up and healped his father yell at him... Dont'd get me wrong it's a scary obsticle but this guy took a little too much time..

And finally we convinced him he wouldn't flip. It was nearly impossible for him to back out..

The group of stock vehicles held us up after the pinch. Watching them get stuck one after another kinda made it a frustrating trip. They wanted to be in front, and I was patient. However after the ramp obsticle took them thirty to fourty min's i gave up and we blasted past them at the waterfall. So this is the last set of pic's i took. I've always gone around the waterfall but boulder cruiser decided to try going over....

It looked worse yesterday we fixed it with a sledge

I thought i bent my Axle as you can see where I hit it. After close inspection i realized all was good and the axle is fine..

Nice!!!! Time to wrap those bumpers around the corners some.

Yea My front fender gets in the way alot. I'm taking the bed to the landfill today so the rear dent is not an issue. I don't want a snow plow bumper so i'll probably tuck the fenders in more. I know it may not look pretty but it's just a rock rig so i don't care.... The next time i put it back on the road it should have a pinched and tubed front, extended cab, pathy tank, and Alpro style bed. I doubt I'll put full width axles on before moab...

As long as it runs and wheels its all good.

How did the "new" X do with its first CO run? Notice anything Boulder? What do you think of it?

He had the cahonas to push it hard enough which is always good to see. The truck did very well It needs crawler gears but so do I. His rock sliders held the weight of his x atleast 4 times without bending. The D60 and 10.25 hang low but Boulder cruiser was good enough of a driver to tackle this problem. Sweet rig and a good driver with no hangups. :)

It did great, i thought at times it was a little under powered in certain situations. I put the sliders through some abuse yesterday and they held up :)

Welcome to wheeling on the weekends. Every fella that bought a jeep over the winter wants to go test his ride.

Looks like you guys had a great time! That trail is so much fun.. it can test you in alot of ways.

Changing out the 2:1 gear in the T case out to 3.9:1 gears will fix the power issue. :D

Yep. I have plenty of power too.
