"Wheeler's Anonymous"

My truck's been lacking in the mud department for too long

 

This is very true my Cherokee is like that lol

 

As promised, here is some video from yesterday. We entered at the Bouquet Canyon side and took Rowher over. We decided it would be fun to take Lookout trail back...that is where we saw the white Tacoma backing off of the trail. Here is us going up it.


Also, my buddy mounted a camera to the rear of his Jeep and got a new perspective of my truck on the trail. It is quite a long video so I will break it down. The first three minutes are the initial ascent. At 10:54 I make some noise as I cross a rut in the trail. Looks like I also had some issues around 12:30. Around 14:22 the Jeep tried to get over a fun obstacle, but did not make it. At 17:06 is when he gave up and we both took a different line. 43:00 onward is just us descending the trail.

 

Nice, just did the same trip today with @oni06 and @Sandtaco. Took Lookout down from the top of Rowher, that's one steep ass trail.

I conquered the steps again took a few tries lol. Oh and we saw a big old suburban with a busted rear axle at the top. Let them use my shovel, oddly no one in their group carried one.

 

Thanks for the invite Ryan.

Mowing the lawn now .....

 

@eon_blue @Sandtaco

Thanks for a fun run. My dad and my daughter had a good time.

Hopefully it's not another 6 months before I can get out and wheel again.

 

@eon_blue @digitaLbraVo @lesterb315 @tetten + others interested. You guys still want to go to Big Bear this Saturday? Gold Mountain and another trail? Haven't run anything else up there besides fire roads so want to check out another hard trail. Just need to make sure Ryan can clear it with little tires.haha. Whats White Mountain like?

 

Definitely interested if we get something going.

 

I'm a no-go for this weekend, it's easter weekend and I'm flying up north to see family. I'm good for the following weekend though.

 

I thought we were thinking of doing the weekend of the 22nd? The one from the poll that didn't get picked?

either way we need to get something planned soon for the first weekend of May when MJT opens back up.

 

In for MJT

 

Question for you guys: where'd you get your extended brake lines, which ones are recommended, and what length? First one to answer gets a beer on me

 

@HeadStrong Off-Road +1.5" I think? Any extended are fine I went cheapest. They're all the same

 

I'd be down for Gold Mountain + Holcomb Creek, or try out Motino Wash. Holcomb Creek would need full armor to be safe, otherwise would require careful/easy line choosing(and by that I mean driving over 12" rocks instead of 18"+ rocks), same with Motino Wash. I haven't done Motino Wash, looks fun though. If we could get a couple rigs interested/committed I could go ahead and take a vacation day Saturday or Sunday. Or hell, if its cold enough up in the desert I'd be down for Achy Breaky as well. If someone else has a winch I want to try the Pumpkin Eater(to get me out if I break something).

 

I heard "Crown" brake lines are a great choice. That's what came with my rear kit from All Pro.

 

Damn my friend Greg needs to get on here. He'll love to do something like what's described

 

Got plans this weekend.

 

I'll be the support truck if you guys wana drag my ass up the hard stuff lol.

 

You and Greg are welcome on every trip buddy. Always fun hanging with you guys. Pm your numbers or Ill tag you to make sure you get the info on trail run and date.
