Yea my last 2 Jeeps started out pretty too.
I folded the fender flare in on a tree but it came right out, then a little pull on the fender and you would never know anything happened. Definitely not the first time I have done that though :roll: The scratches just keep adding up. But hey, It’s a jeep not a corvette right? Dave did dent his quarter panel in the same exact spot in the same way that Dan did last trip! I was impressed that he guided that long truck through some tight trails.

We found our selfs on one tight ass trail, and i feared for my back fenders they were comming real close to the trees :lol: There was no way a pickup would have mad it through, i think someone even said that on the cb.

At one point jeremy had slid into a tree and 3 of us reached up and bent the tree away from his jeep so he could escape.

That was a damn good trail though. I really liked the trails we hit, we were on a black for some time it was good. I did well as long as you get your tires on the rocks and keep your diffs off rocks you are good to go :)

that trail definitely had some pucker points in it. i still don't know how Gene managed to miss those two tree stumps on that really steep decent. i'm watching us slide right towards them almost sideways and all off a sudden the front end speeds up a bit, slips the front tire between the two of them and glides right around them both. i seriously thought we were gonna hit one of them head on with the tire or end up sideways on the hill. nice driving Gene! there was definitely some spots on that one that a pickup would have had problems with. just incase anyone is wondering, that was the later part of trail 74 Good Bad and Ugly, after the split where it meets 76.

look about right to you X? i know 11 and 74 are pretty much right, just not sure of the first trails we did off the play area in the morning. i don't remember going by the lake though.

I am pretty sure rubicon lake is what badzook was in :lol: :lol: :lol: Thats the end of the play area. I think you had all the trails right. I have my GPS and it plotted where we went and all the cords. I will take a screen shot and see how much paragons maps are off :)

:shock: I have no idea how we made it through.... one thing i do know is 12.5" wide Mud tires suck in packed snow.
I was thinking about trying the next SNOW wheeling trip at road PSI . What do you guys think ? Maybe it will help.

I was at street pressure till I found out I couldnt steer to well going down hill :shock: after airing down it made a big difference in traction front and back.

after we almost slid backward into the rig behind us on one hill, i've decided to add a set of tire chains to my list of things to buy for next winter. :D ~130 for all four tires is well worth it for the traction benefits especially in the snow.
