If I already have plans to go Jeeping I have an excuse not to go to dinner at the in-laws right? Crap, I said that out loud didn't I?

Post by: hps4evr on October 06, 2021, 06:48:59 AM: Let’s meet for 9:30am Sunday morning at the McLean creek store.
Weather could be anything at this point.
Figure we can hit the higher trails and stay out of the muddy lower areas. Or at least see what happens.

The four of us continued on to explore some interesting trails. Got turned around. The snow didn’t help. Some soft ground didn’t help. But fun all around.

Post by: Vinman on October 10, 2021, 07:21:29 PM: Yeah, great day out there.
The guy with the TJ must have set a record for breaking a rear axle shaft then the front ring & pinion a few minutes later.

The trails were interesting for sure, I *think* I may have gotten a scratch on the Jeep today🤪

I also spent about $24 at the wand wash and will “clean” the Jeep today🥸

Post by: YJGUY on October 11, 2021, 03:03:21 PM: We had a fun time as well. It was too bad the TJ broke in such spectacular fashion, would have been fun to wheel with those guys. I don't know where you guys are washing your rigs but it was under $12 for me at the one in Nolan Hill just east of the Costco. I just clean it with the high pressure soap then rinse it off. I don't bother with the brush.

Anyway, here are some photos from yesterday. Hopefully the video works. You can hear the front ring and pinion grenade and strip out after he stalls it. :sadbanana:
