Attachment 1687353 we hiked 2/3's of the way back to the truck and then found this. we actually went back to the tunnel a second time, but it was too short, and when i tested it, it just snapped in half. if we only had had a rope with us.... Attachment 1687352 cooling the feet and refilling water bottles in Ladner Attachment 1687354 and when we got home, well we could'nt get home. our house is like a block from where a rv slammed into a house and ruptured a gas line. we had to wait about 45 mins Attachment 1687361 http://www.theprogress.com/news/gas-...neighbourhood/ |
Re: post up your camping pics
Here's a quick report of a run I made a couple of weeks ago with some friends, my wife and son as well as my Nephew. He's in the Black Rubicon and had not wheeled off road as a driver before. He's ridden with me, but never drove so he wanted to come out with us.
We hit 3 trails over three days. Day one, Tincup pass. Day two, Reno Creek/Italian Divide. Day three, Pearl Pass. Each day the trail got progressively harder. The other two rides with us are friends of ours, the red Jeep we had just added a 2.5" lift and a fresh clutch a month earlier. Other than that it's stock with a 4 banger and open diffs front and back. The Yellow TJ is loaded with ARB's front and back and all the other goodies.

Re: post up your camping pics
Great pics, Rob! K5 looks like it is doing exactly what you want. I'm expecting to see a write up on that FWC pretty soon as well as Desert Trip.

The FWC has been something I've been searching for a very long time. I'll update the build thread with some new info. I need to finish wiring up the report for the desert trip. I'll I can say is it was epic. Most fun I've had on 4 wheels. That says a lot as I've done a lot of stuff with 4 wheels. Quote:

this is where you have to grab onto the wire to get up over the tunnel. we abandoned dawg here and told him to stay. of course he did'nt, just as i made the top, turned around to see dawg stuck halfway up. had to climb down with him. if he had'nt had had his operation, i'm sure he could have made it...

Attachment 1692520Attachment 1692521Attachment 1692522 normally heights are nothing for my son, but it is a long ways down, right around 250 feet or so... Attachment 1692523Attachment 1692524 |

went out to the middle, disappointed my son again. i felt we had been pushing it on the mountain, and really did not want him slipping off the rail. these are unforgiving heights, not the same as tumbling down a mountain....:lol:
Attachment 1692530Attachment 1692545 was also glad dawg had not attempted to come up again, so when he spied this scraggly little guy, i let him chase it up a tree... Attachment 1692532Attachment 1692533 and back at the Ladner bridge Attachment 1692534 |
