Does "urban" wheeling count?

Checking clearance on my new rock sliders.

Top of the concrete block is 52" in case anybody cares.

For those of you out there like me who might be finding yourselves a little tired of the summer heat (we're going on several days in a row over 100) here's a couple old shots to help you get through...

vtblazer · 07-12-2007, 07:53 PM

How about a "getting" ready for Action pic?

Rausch Creek tomorrow.

johnnywagon · 07-12-2007, 08:31 PM

Trailer queen eh?

Just kidding, mine would be too. If I could afford a trailer..... One day.

That poor little Subaru needed better offroad prep.

johnnywagon · 09-13-2007, 02:32 PM

It wont be much longer before it starts to rain so I can go to the off road park, raise hell & photograph it! I'm jones'n.

theside00 · 09-14-2007, 08:16 PM

I want to hit that up with you when I get back over to school at U of I starting second semester. Looks like a neat place to go.

Damn straight!

Here are the 1st official pix from the picture whore this season. Still to dry & dusty but I'm tired of waiting for rain.

vtblazer · 09-19-2007, 07:33 PM

Your always going 'up'...how do you do that?

Leaving for Rausch in the morning, I should have something to post on the return.
(I better, right?)

johnnywagon · 10-02-2007, 01:01 PM

Here's MORE PIX!!

from the

9-30-07. Its still not wet enough. Sand sucks! My big heavy truck w/lockers front & back will slowly dig itself in if I'm not carefull.....need more rain.

johnnywagon · 10-02-2007, 01:07 PM

Oh yea, some "downhill" shots for VT!

BTW. How 'bout someone else contribute to the "action"??

vtblazer · 10-02-2007, 01:38 PM

Back tires aren't even lifting off yet...

Only wish pics would convey how steep thing's really are.

Couple shots from the last trip to Rausch Creek.

Yea, The "nosedown" shots were actually a LOT steeper than the pix show. For one, I was by myself and had to stop and get out to take the pix. The truck wouldnt stay in the steepest spot...even in park it would just slide down the sand. I actually had to shut it off a coulple times because of no oil pressure. It was so steep I could have stood up straight on the back of the rear seat and looked out the rear hatch.

That's gotta suck having to kill the power and lose your power assist. Guess you don't have much choice though.

Sure wish I could contribute some pics but no where around here to have fun like that unfortunately!

Burt4x4 · 10-02-2007, 05:15 PM

Hey Boys

Nothing new from me until Turkey week. The family and I will be heading to our annual Pismo Dunes for a week at the condo on the beach

I can't wait this will be year 11 in a row and first time on the dunes with the 1Ton setup...
Thanks for the new pics!

johnnywagon · 10-08-2007, 03:32 PM

Wow, busy weekend. Worked 1/2 day Saturday morning, made the 240 mile round trip to the Moyie Mud Bog (see other thread). Sunday watched my Seahawks get destroyed by the Steelers, then spent 5 hours at the off-road park.

johnnywagon · 10-08-2007, 03:39 PM

All the twisting and side hilling took its toll. I broke BOTH front HD lift shackles. The drivers side sheared and bent one bolt and the H-beam welds all failed, coming completely apart. I jacked it up and stuck a 2x4 in there just to get it home without banging on the frame. The passenger side is twisted and cracked pretty bad, one bolt is broke but still in and holding. It definitely made for a slow, interesting drive home.
