Pics/videos from the Slick Rock Trip:






















Going up the steps, my sliders got caught on both sides.


But winched through that spot and drove on.





DCLB made it! with help of good spotters & a rear locker!

 

Did I mention I didn't see this rock:

I managed to nick up my rocker panel a little bit


My AP bumper has to be realigned:
passenger:

driver:


the factory OEM transmission "skid" has oil dripping from it:


my FJ wheels now look like moto metals lol


my sliders and skids are banged up pretty good. but somehow my rear axle got scraped horizontally

 

Man I could *not* solve that boulder field. I just couldn't see a line through.

Fairly easy to spot a line through the first two boulders; but no matter what that left you pointed right at the third and larger boulder right in the middle - not to mention the various sized ones all around it.

Jerry razzed me on it "you're not much of a spotter are you?"

But even after watching everyone go through it - I still think the boulder field was harder than the "stairs" hill beyond it.

 

^ yea that part was really tricky. good thing your cross member acted as a skid

and idk if you saw, but your ubolts on the passenger side were hitting the rocks too. maybe a flip kit is in order sometime soon?

 

Skids and U bolt flip kit are definitely are in order.

 

Aside from some scrapes on the sliders/skids this was my only damage:

Used the cross-member as a skid, and it caught hard, bent the part back, I have since hammered it flat again. Definitely need the skids.

 

great pics everyone! i sure did miss out on all the fun. did anyone get any major trail damages?

 

Sick pics everybody. Looks like there were some technical spots out there. Glad to see some people abusing their armour.

 

Been drooling on these pics for a few days now, where are the VIDS?!

 

Too much time at each obsticle for video. That last obsticle took some time to get all the rigs up!
