Todays wheeling adventures

[Underpowered]

went to a local spot called Haspin Acres today.

first off, my dream OOBS guy i knows truck actually.


now to the good stuff. and i have tons more pics i have to get off a few other camera's, should have them later this week.

this was out entertainment for the day, he is not afraid to try anything. flopped it twice in the day, this is the 2nd one, first flop is on another camera.

nasty v-notch he was trying to go up. bad enought i would not even want to come down it in my jeep



home built 4 link, 14bff/10 bolt combo.



buddies chevari samari with 350/350/205 drivetrain and yota axles.






the Heep



stuck at teh first mud hole, 10 minutes after unloading. started out as a 1977 chevy





as i said i have alot more, and better ones as well on my brother camera, as well as another guy that went

[Underpowered]

two vids. in the videos, neither truck makes it but after i stopped, bother were able to make it to the top. the jeep high centered on the diff about 15 feet short of where they are making it to in the vids




buggy from the 2nd vid.

turbo 22R, yota axles. very sweet ride.




and two of the FSC towing the chevari



by the end of the day, broke parts included: busted U-joint on teh red buggy, he wheeled the last two hours with only front wheel drive, busted front shackle on the oranage/blue jeep buggy, and a busted T-case crossmember on teh chevari.

Looks like a blast!

if you were towing the sammy who drove your heep?

[Underpowered]

i towed the sami for my buddy, and my brother towed the Heep with his truck.


however, i must say my buddy made me very jealous. coming up a hill i hit the bottom doing 65 in my truck, and could hold it steady, he passed me like i was sitting still pulling his buggy and rhino with his CC dually D-max. i really want a D-max

[rebelbowtie]

haha thats a diesel for ya

Looks like a fun time. Wish we had a place to wheel around here.

[Underpowered]

i wish i had more places to wheel aorund here. that place is 1.5 hours away from where i live and it is about as close as i have other than local farms and such.

but it is 750 acres of nothing but off road stuff. we covered the entire place 2 or 3 times, starting off with small stuff and saving the stupid stuff for the end of the day, so if we break we break at teh end of the day. but it was getting dark by the time it was no holds barred and would try nearly anything.

i need pics of your heep letting her eat

[Underpowered]

i will see what pics my bro has. i have older ones of letting her eat. not sure it we got any yesterday or not. we really didn't do anything to stupid, we had jonnie (orange/blue jeep) for that.

[rebelbowtie]

its more fun to see less capable rigs tackling challenging trail obstacles. imo

*edit*

funny side note. the related videos for the second vid are titled "homo"

i saw that

and i completely agree. i would much rather have to work to get over an obstacle than see something that can simply walk up it without issue.

[DMANbluesfreak]

^ Same. I wish I had some more videos from my wheeling yesterday - but I'm pretty sure I did stuff no other stock truck has never done and still came out unscathed. I'll post pix later

[rebelbowtie]

thats a tall order to fill

[DMANbluesfreak]

I know you've been tough on your truck rebel, but I'm slowly following in your footsteps

Although I will say, since I have stock A/Ts, they're definitely no good in anything muddy.

[rebelbowtie]

i wasnt talking about me although i put my truck through alot. first thing that came to mind was that black OBS RCSS "UP offroad" i forget the username.

there are people out there that are very hard on stock trucks, and put them places you would no think they would go.

Pics for proof.

i am uploading more pics currently. i will have to see what the other guy has, as he has more pics of the jeep since he was not riding in it. all the pics i am uploading now are off my brother camera.

[DMANbluesfreak]

Okay, maybe I got a little carried away with my wording. I'm just excited because every time i go offroad, my truck astounds me at the stuff it can do.

Like this, there were these 2 really nice Jeep wranglers with at leas 35s, maybe 37s that we kept running into yesterday and I was amazed at some of the stuff they bitched out on. Me and my roomate (he's got a suburban with all-seasons, stock height, etc) went right through no problem.

I guess its just the fact that very few people actually use trucks for what they were designed for anymore.

[rebelbowtie]

most guys in wranglers dont know how to drive or theyre too light or lack lockers. i have seen a tahoe limited 2wd out do a stock wrangler on a hill climb that was epic. i wanted to punch the kid with the limited though because he was trashing it.
