RC 11/29

[DozerDan]

Well it was a good day of wheeling, here are some carnage pics.

Well I took it out today and beat the snot out of it.  Axle held up great but the jeep is breaking around it.

Took out the front DS


And put a hole in the trans


But got the DS patched up



Unfortunately the stroker works a bit too well, and it got the better of me on this hill climb. 


But I decided to give it a shot anyway.  2nd gear full on the rev limiter, and it grabed, threw me sideways, I corrected for it, but then lost steering (tires off the ground) and this was the end result.









While we were righting it, the door opened and the heep came down on its side

  woops








Rest of the pics here http://s53.photobucket.com/albums/g42/dozerdan_photos/?start=0

Hopefully Jim gets the vid up asap, because it should be sweet.

Looks like a fun day, of course Kev didn't share any of his anti-roll spray again.

Got both rolls on vid. That was fun............

Anyway, kev on the ramp




Dans round peg in square hole driveshaft.



Not over yet.... 



oops........ Cage works good, even upside down.

No good way to flip it back over in that spot, so kev dragged me a bit first.

First extraction attempt it is now on it's other side and the door is trashed.

He chickened out "cause I got no cage"

good stuff. i just got home. didnt download my pics yet, but i dont think i got many. i'll upload them tomorow after i get home from work.

[reptillikus]

Yep, no way was i gonna try that one without a cage.  Aint much difference between mine & ox's, capt maybe mine is lighter and the front springs are softer, and the latter definitely doesnt help on hill climbs.

[bnkrtstk]

Dan's looked voilent.  He'll feel that today.

[reptillikus]

I thought he was gonna right it, i really did.  But then it stalled or something, and smash! right into that tree.  The hard top tore like it was paper.  Glass & tools everywhere. Those are the hill climbs that me & ox did way back in '06, but they are really torn up now.




That RTI ramp is laid out wrong too....youre supposed to measure from the ground up, not how far you travelled horizontally.  Now i know what to do to get the rear to work a bit better, but i cant calculate my current RTI score unless i find a math book or something.  I R not good with math

[runamok151]

damn.  looks like a really good day.  i should have gone w/ you guys cause the craft show sucked and i didn't make any $$.

[Stangmata]

Can't see Dan's pics (p-bucket blocked) but the rollover pics made up for it

[clutch]

the jeep isnt that bad, we were looking it at last night. apart from the hard top & door being smashed, the body faired rather well.  all the dents are repairable.

[OX1]

Dans play by play off the vid. See in the first pic where that front right dropped off that ledge and it was all over after that. 

[clutch]

dna and kev jumped on the RTI ramp:









I didn't take many pictures. both sets of batteries i had died.  But, the rest can be found here http://4x4.forensick.net/88bronco/images/gallery.php?imagedir=081129

[jackhart]

sweet pix. i'm wishin i could have gone, but i can't afford to fix anything that breaks at the moment, so it's probably just as well.

[DozerDan]

I really thought I was going to drive out of it, but somehow I managed to stall it, or it stalled as I hit the tree, I might have even smacked one of the kill switches w/ my knee, not sure, but I was on the gas and it stopped going.

I am a little sore today but no more than normal.  Only thing I am upset about on the jeep is the windsheild, the rest can be beat out etc.

It was a fun time though.  I guess maybe it is time to finally build a cage for it.

[reptillikus]

Just do what i do- wheel with a broken windshield


Kinda sucks for street driving though.

[luderchris]

Wow -- getting a little nervous to head out with you guys after looking at these pictures/video!

[reptillikus]

No worries, we are the craziest of the bunch

They are just showing off with those pics. Now I, on the other hand, happen to have some pics of many of those same rigs in more..ahh..shall we say.. humbling poses.   OX giving a seminar on how to use more ATF than propane to get over a large pebble and up a little hill...Kev giving lessons on why it takes 8 relays to troubleshoot two..things like that. I even have a pic somwheres of me pushing Kev up a hill with a stiff rope..

don't let 'em skeer ya.
