50+ thread

THAT is an amazing video!

It's amazing where folks could go with tires, lockers, and winches.

 

I've run that canyon twice and it is a very physical workout pulling winch cable . Usually we would attach the winch to the rear of a jeep and free spool and let that jeep pull the cable up to the next winch point

I remember alot of carb fires from extreme angles and or winches catching on fire from over use . Marlin from Marlin crawler fame would just walk up those waterfalls without needing to winch

Going down the falls heading back to Ballarat was an E ticket ride as your front bumper would slam into the boulders as you slid down

 

Welcome! Good place for a first post.

Sounds like you are keeping busy my neighbor used to ride the 50+, broke a few bones.

Take the test on page one and tell us what mods you are thinking about.

No vehicles now. We just backpack up there.

No, that one is on the list. The guys I run with don't have the vehicles for it.

Although if I go first they usually follow. I have killed 2 jeeps and a tundra doing that.

 

My photographer friend gets to do this all day

 

It is. Thanks Andy.

 

Yeah when I cook it up on the grill people going past all look in especially the bikers if the wind is blowing towards the road. Lol

 

This is back in 1996 on the Defense Mine trail in my old 47 CJ2A Flat fender

 

I’m with ya man.
Been sick 2 1/2 months.
Sugars all whacked.
3 weeks ago felt great.
Last Saturday this yellow goop decided let me know I was in for some more fun times ....

Like you I’m sick and tired of being sick and tired.
Coughing fits.
Can’t sleep
I try like hell to aim my wrath away from everyone.
So many people sick.
So with everyone being sick, I have to sit and work in sick peoples cars.
They are soooooo dirty.
And everyone catches everything from these cars in the shop.

Keep grinding.

 

Raises are over rated...

That’s why I don’t get them..

 

Feel better Mike!

 

So you ever get Flu shots ????

 

Some years ago I got them.
Then I got so sick.
Worse than anyone that didn’t get them.
Like I said. These cars are so dirty I think by the time they get to me it has a whole new strain born.

 

Sorry man
Hope ya get to feeling better soon

 

24 hours of Daytona..
