Baby's First Hollister Trip - May 17th

I wanted to take a video of Jay's run up truck hill but my phone died seconds before. It was quite the site! Tires spinning and the suspension flying up and down and dust pouring out of everywhere and that 4.0 scream! Next time we'll get it!

 

On another note- Sleeping platform version 2, phase 1 was completed today.

 

That video is cool Jay. How did you get the reverse angle?

 

That's looking good

 

Thanks everybody for a great time out there and all the excellent pictures. Spent some time cleaning and re-spooling the winch line yesterday. Based on Mark's suggestion, ordered one of these, in case nobody has a loose tailgate panel kicking around next time : http://www.masterpull.com/3ft-rock-guard-w-velcro/

 

front view was my phone on a windshield mount. for the rear view I used my old point and shoot digital camera and a Go-Pro style mount on the middle rear headrest. and when I say 'go-pro' style I mean it was screwed onto a block of wood which was tied to the headrest, lol. Bro-Pro maybe??

 

That's a good idea.

 

here's the pictures of the gears... looks fine.

 

Nice! So what was all the grinding and popping from?

 

^This

 

Those gears don't look fine to me. I'm no mechanic but those look chewed up!

 

sarcasm maybe? they are kinda busted

 

Must be sarcasm, because those teeth are F ed up.

 

yeah those teeth were done....gone...., good thing I got it from ECGS, they were able to warranty them!

 

DANA 60!!!

 

On a slight subject change- I was at the lower ranch with my bike yesterday and heading back today. Never hit-up the upper ranch which is where I think the truck trails are. Wonder if my 2wd can take on some blue trails. What do you guys think

 

maybe if I step up to 42's

 

yeah I don't think you would have any problem at all.

 

Lets go sometime

 

and Eddo has a winch just in case
