Camping pass acquired

 

No shot at you at all, but if you're running up that hill with no trouble (other than a warm motor) I KNOW my tires are burnt up good. Granted I have 30,000mi on them (sad to realize I lifted it so long ago...)

 

Hey Denny @digitaLbraVo what time you thinking of heading out Saturday morning? Thinking of following you & kevin in

 

No time line at this moment, to be honest. Need to coordinate with the lady and Kevin more at this time.

 

Just confirmed my reservation, I'm down to head out whenever.

 

Ain't it unfortunate I can't get the blue-woman to register here? Make it so much easier to plan this kinda stuff....

 

We should leave in the morning since it's like a 4hour drive

You really want your blue-woman to see every little thing we talk about on this forum?
You might get in trouble

 

Oh I got hung up on a couple parts lol, it definitely wasn't an easy climb. I had to back down a few times and re-position myself to get over a couple spots that I couldn't get traction on initially. All three of us today had that happen, @Mike likes Tacos and I both have decent tread on our KO2s but with a light back end, they have a hard time grabbing. @uhplifted did really well today but his stock tires gave him some trouble on Lookout too...the rock up there is slick

 

Good point.

 

It's kind of funny to think that between Lookout and that side hill off of the Rowher trail with the 4 short climbs (where Greg broke the axle on his Jeep), I got stuck and had to take a different line more times today than I did on the MJT yesterday. Just goes to show you never really know what's going to give you trouble. Every trail is a different beast, every time

 

Also I think I need to start look at bigger tires, after I get a new TOB/clutch assembly

 

Greg busted his jeep coming back down Rowher 4x4 proper, not Lookout. There's an "infamous" hill climb called the "3 Fingers" up there and he picked the middle one. @MADSTEEZE @Sandtaco and I all took the trail immediately to the right of it and were ok for the most part. A bit slippery but we dealt. But Greg had gone way past Lookout by that point.

 

Yeah thats the side hill off of Rowher with the 3 trails (I thought it was 4 but I miscounted)...I got hung up on the one to the left

 

I wasn't even going to attempt the one Greg tried after Mike told me about his mishap and the photos I saw on here, nope...no way

 

Actually I just realized @uhplifted posted photos of it earlier lol.



I took the one on the far left and Mike took the one on the right, Greg broke his axle on the one in the middle (not pictured). Mike was showing me the infamous rock that did the dirty deed to his Jeep.

I got hung up right at that spot in this pic, had to back down and take the line to the left.

 

You guys took the left line?

 

There's actually 5/6 trails up there now that have carved out. It was originally the middle 3 and added several over time it seems.

 

You really went to town right there liking up all my stuff....
