Is that Mike and Spike? Looks like a good time was had by all!

 

Looks like a hell lot of fun in the sticks! Dam Spike how much you pay for that safari roof rack? And While we are on the subject: what is the purpose of those metal lines fastened from the safari roof rack to the arb bumper?

 

That was another forum member and his wife, Pat and Mandy, they have never been off road before, he has a '04.
We got stuck in peet moss, the surface looks dry and firm, but 1/4" down its nothing but soup, as soon as you drive on it you sink to your axles.
He was behind me and he sank too.
I got out and sank to my ankles, my shoes were sucked off my feet when I pulled my feet out.
We got him out, then using my Hi-Lift we jacked up my truck and put logs under the wheels, then with him pulling and me driving we got me out.
Then he got stuck again not 20ft away.
Total time was about 2 hours getting unstuck.
Then we got the hell out of there.
It was a good time.

 

My Safety Devices rood rack was $150, I bought it site unseen from a salvage yard that was 150 miles away 2 years ago.
It was actually on a DII, but I bought it anyway, it was to long for a DI (which I already knew but for the price I couldnt pass it up) and then I traded it for a DI SD roof rack even up.
The '04 in the pic, he has the roof rack and I bought and I have the roof rack that he bought.
Those are called bush cables, they keep tree branch's from hitting your windshield and cracking it.
They were used on the Camel Trophy trucks.
I made them myself for $20 and 30 min of work.

 

Its time one of you two poney up and get a winch Two discos axle deep and you might need a arial crane in the Michigan sand & mud.

 

Don't those limb risers move when they get wet? Also how do you remove them when you open the hood?

 

Nope.
Slide them to the side 1".

Total cost of those bush cables Wolf, $20.
Coated dog run cable.
8 cable clamps.
2 clamps at each end.
Wrap the cable around the roof rack, clamp it.
Wrap it around the brush bar, clamp it, cut to length.
Repeat on the other side.
Easy peezy.

 

Who's rockin' the Jim Morrison jeans?
