Bill Driving past the same rock.(Why do you Jeepers need Rocker guards for this section?)

Dave Decided to just drive over the rock. Wish I have lockers front and rear, I probably could have done that as well.

Bronco85 06-13-2004, 11:17 PM Small bog right before the "Z" turn. Turned to early and dropped my rear tire into a deep hole.

Dropped the other side tire into the hole and lifted a tire.

Got seperated from the pack. I'm up at the end of the trail. Don't know what trail they headed off on.
http://users.superford.org/bronco85/my85bronco/off-road%20trips/ruby%20lake/June%2012,%202004/IMG_1796.JPG
Heading out.. Man that pit didn't look that deep, but I guess it was.
http://users.superford.org/bronco85/my85bronco/off-road%20trips/ruby%20lake/June%2012,%202004/IMG_1799.JPG
Greg started off the day with an open loop in his fuel system so him and gabe quickly fixed that at tesoro before we headed out. I don't beleive he had any other issues the rest of the day.
Bill didn't have any issues at all other then not having any lockers, but that Jeep still impresses me more every run what it can do with two open diffs.
Jason beat the bronco pretty good. Bent front and rear bumpers up pretty good, Broke both passanger side lights. Front was my fault as I was snatching him threw a couple trees and yanked to hard and pulled him into the tree. knocked his front fender back so his passanger door wouldn't open. And his AC pump clutch was taking a pop. He was open front and rear with 35" ATs. Probably no enough really for that trail.
Dave made it off the trail with no problems, but when we went to carwash creek his new fan shattered. luckly he had a secondary electric fan.
I was good till we got to house rock. I started leaking fuel out threw my filler neck. Went to pop he cap to see what was up but it was under alot of pressure and just spewed more gas. Then just about the same spot on the way out, I had a little electrical issue, melted my fuel pump wire from under the hood to under the dash and down to the fuel pump in the back. Hench the bring an extinguisher on runs.!!.
airborn4x4 06-14-2004, 10:01 AM I love mud, and I love rocks. You got the best of both worlds. I also like to see the peaceful gathering of different makes and models (can't we all just get along). Wheeling is wheeling, and it's all for fun. You had yourselves a whole bunch of fun. Awesome pix, too. :rockon
SSgtTEX 06-14-2004, 10:14 AM looks like yall had a good time, great pics
stangmata 06-14-2004, 10:25 AM Cool pics :thumbup
Bronco85 06-14-2004, 12:29 PM Ya it was a good time had by all. I got pissed after I caught my bronco on fire, but we where only about 45 mins to the trail head. and I had cooled off by then. Man it was a quiet ride out..
We where all in the groove or somthing. Everytime someone got stuck we had 3 guys on the cable, 1 guy running the treesaver, 1 guy running the cable and 1 guy pulling cable. Never really seen the group work together like this before. Usually you pull your own cable unless you can't get outta your truck.
And other then the fire, which really wasn't a fire but could have been really quick. There was no major issues, only some bent bumpers, fenders and stuff like that.

Bronco85 06-15-2004, 07:52 PM Thanks, I'm actually thinking of lputting some limiting straps on it so it doesn't drop as far. I think I'm maxing out my 33" shocks in that picture.
GearHead 06-15-2004, 09:33 PM beautiful scenery. i wish it was like that here.
