Comanche Carnage

[jpcomanche]

One of the guys in my club has 20 acres of tight wooded trails. We went out Saturday for a day full of winching and body damage. After the couple of inches of snow we got last week melted, it left a greasy, slimey mess. Normally a hill like this isn't much of a problem, but there was just no traction.

 

The low point of the day was when I was the first to try a new, twisty hill climb. I ended up with the back driver's side of my cab against a tree with nowhere to go but up. The results: :cry:

 

Some more pictures are here:

NIce... :D I am one of those ppl who believes in beating my rig as well :twisted: I notice you don't have a frontlocker :shock: that would have probrabl;y made that hill a lil easier :wink:

 

 

Here is a link to some videos of where the club I belong too goes. http://besrk.zippyvideos.com/gallery.z

that green cj(?) is real bad.

Thats a CJ5 that belongs to a guy named Eddie. It was rolling on 42's, leafs in the front, and a 4link with coil overs in the rear. He is getting ready to rebuild his rig with a 3 link upfront, and full hydro steering. He ended up cracking his transmision case on this last ride. he got something like 4 foot of air, talk about insanity.

Yeah, that was a pretty cool rig. Different than what I'm used to whelling with. On the Same hill that I bashed my truck on, he hit his driver's door hard enough to break the rolled down window! :shock: We knew it was slick when he couldn't get traction with his 40" Boggers.

Eddie added some more video clips to that link. It has a good one of me ripping off my tail light guards :twisted: I am getting ready to dovetail my rig, or remove the bed, just not sure which will be faster to complete :D

 

BTW removing your doors prevents breaking glass :wink:

not to be an @$$ man but whats up with that thing behind your cab?

[jpcomanche]

It's a Lund Fastback. It matches my Lund visor!

Didn't those things come stock? My 86 had one, unfortunatly I was in a sledgehammering mood and it seemed like the best option.

[jpcomanche]

I'm not sure. I've heard that they were a factory option but I haven't been able to confirm it. They were on it when I bought it. I guess they're pretty hard to find now if you wanted one.

[pingpong]

I think they were made by Lund and a few other makers back in the day. Some are still available for other trucks, so if you want one call different manufacturers and see if they have any available.

I don't remember any of my dealership brochures mentioning the fastback, so I'm betting it's purely aftermarket (though it could be dealership-installed).

Jeep on!

[whowey]

Hmmm, that MJ looks a whole lot like one on Rusty's off-road website...

 

Right down to the flare.

[jpcomanche]

You mean this one?

 

That's mine about 4 years ago. It used to be a pretty truck. :oops:

[88swampedmj]
