picking the trail thru the woods

[mjeff87]

MJ rule #6.........

 

when woods-wheeling, at night, DON'T follow the YJ/TJ/Rubicons if you're in an MJ (even a shortbed)

 

MJ rule #7.........

 

when the SWB Jeeps all decide to go left, DON'T follow two kids on a quad who go right.

 

I put some racing stripes on the Jeep Saturday night, and broke my passenger side mirror. I knew I was gonna hit the driverside.....it was a choice of body damage or dropping my left side in a 3 foot trench. Never even saw the tree that hit the mirror, all I heard was a thunk, and my wife yelling at me :D

You knew this was coming: :D

:needpics:

I'll take a few tonight after work, but it's nothing really bad.

 

Considering where we all were, I coulda done a lot worse. If I had my new axle in, I woulda done alot worse.... ;)

:hmm: Jeff what were you thinking :smart: Now that you have entered the darkside.. lets remove more sheetmetal.. and put bigger tires on it :driving:

I watch what the short wheelbase guys do very close. My ZJ is just that much longer in wheelbase and length over the XJ that I've scraped bumpers when nobody else did, even the LJ guys.

I love following the short Jeeps. :D I may not do the turns as smoothly, but I'll be danged if I won't follow wherever they lead. Although with that minispool up front the tight turns can be a bee-atch (multi-point turns are, um, "not unheard of"). And now I have the boggers sticking out in the rear, catching tree trucks as I go... And that one time I just pushed over the dead tree rather than try to go around it... :D The tighter the trail, the bigger the challenge. But I generally don't wheel at night. I bet that would make it exponentially harder.

Meh, dents and mud just add character to the trail worthy Jeeps.

[87manche]

meh, it's entertaining for all the SWB guys when I follow them.

 

There's a reason I have a gigantic power steering cooler now.

 

but I'll climb everything they're scared of flipping over on.

I'll climb everything they're scared of flipping over on.

 

Amen to that.
