I know AK will get on here this afternoon and post his pictures of Yesterdays run to Twin Cone. I don't think he expected all that he and his newly lift D1, with it's new tires, got into.
I let him post his picture, I'll have some coming later.

 

Your making a new thread that is going to contain pics but you dont have the pics up yet?
Isint that like breaking the #1 rule of posting pics?

 

Pic Tease.

Here's the pics. The link is also posted in another thread because I was too tired and lazy to create a new thread.

 

I didn't post because I road along and it was only fitting that AK posted his pictures.
Here is another link from another driver, Wish we gotten a video of the Jeep crashing, it was priceless.

Very nice pics! What happened to the Jeep, drive shaft broke?

 

The Jeep first tried a closed trail that a Defender wasn't able to get up a few minutes prior. The Defender was trying to get up the hill to help get one of the Rovers out of the spot where he got stuck trying to climb the hill. After the Jeep failed to get up the trail he tried off the side on the grass. He busted the rear driveshaft and then came sliding down the hill backwards completely out of control. Personally I think the driver of the Jeep deserved to break his truck for tearing up the vegetation off the side of a closed trail. If the tree hadn't been there he would have run right into one of the other Jeeps in his group.

The guys in the Jeep group said they were going to summit the trail and apparently they didn't mind breaking the vehicles doing it. Our group admitted we couldn't make it up the hill and turned around rather than tearing up trucks and the trail trying.

 

Did my post trip inspection to the under side of the Rover this morning. Even after slamming down on a rock hard enough to trip my alarm system the only new damage I found was some paint missing of the passenger rear link. Apparently that link is my favorite place to hit since it was already bent from a prior trip. There were a few more scuffs in the plastic caps on the rear bumper but I don't care about those. The rear bumper is going to be replaced anyway.

 

It's hard to tell from the pictures but our group consisted 2 D2s, 2 D1s, 2 P38 Rangies, a Rangie Classic LWB, and 4 Defenders. One of the Defenders was imported by the owner when he moved to the states and has a diesel.

 

Those Jeep guys are the reason that trails are being closed all over the place, they dont follow the rules, they dont care about anything but proving that their ***** are bigger than yours.
It people like that that give 4-wheeling a bad name.
Personally, I have nothing to prove to anybody, if I cant make it then I cant make it.
Need to give those guys a copy of this page.
