| While Dave was
finishing up in the mud bog, an really strange YJ in a group
of some other 4 wheelers started going through the rock obstacle
(former tire pit). This thing is just a flat area of rocks that
are maybe up to your hub. The YJ had flame stickers on it and and
a big skull sticker on the top of the hood. It had 33"s and
it could not even get into the obstacle! They even had a spotter
out. The guy was finally made it out in a little under 20 minutes.
Dave and I went over and made it through in maybe 1 minute and
twenty seconds. Marty decided he'd try to take the hard way out.
Some bumping and some grinding led to a broken Birfield joint as
his rear tires popped over the cement wall. |
Marty and a Hollister regular
work on removing the broken Birfield. |
| While Marty was working on
his truck, the 4 Broncos (and the Z-71) went to play over by the
IRP (Impossible Rock Pile)/Quarry. I managed to claw my way up the
first section of the hill, and then proceeded over to the next
hill climb. |
| Damon tried the line over
to the right, but it was just too steep and his transfer case skid
plate was taking a beating. Bryan was next in line and made it up.
It took Bryan a few attempts since he only had limited slip axles. |

After Bryan crested the
hill, Bill followed and we then made our way over to the Gusto
Grande trail. I had never gone down this trail because you need to
make a multi-point turn to enter it due to the big off-camber
section at the top of it. |
|
| The ground was still
pretty slippery, and the fact that we were driving down and
steep, slick, rutted up trail made it pretty interesting.
Everyone's tires loaded up with mud very quickly and good brakes
were a must!
