I've watched the videos and am probably going to be the video guy on this one.

I need the jeep to stay expedition ready for my 2 boys, that section will eat my rear quarters for lunch and then suck down my gutters for dessert.

Can we get in and watch without going through?

Yup the trail is only about 200 yards long.

You'll probably talk me into at some point, but we'll see.

I'll be your voice of reason.....:looser:

Watching this:

gives me pause, we'll see how gnarly it really is. Not having any sheetmetal behind the cab is a big asset to me.

As long as we can do it without crunching my roof/a pillar or rear driveshaft I'm game.

You will like it, I know I did

Rich, are you gonna make this one?

Fullsizexj · Jun 30, 2010

Nope, just finished the narowing on the nose and still need to fix a rear upper control arm mount on the frame and then chop the top off the cage off and redo it, I will be out there at the end of August though

cabjeepster · Jun 30, 2010

Cool, well maybe you will get a group to go then. Might try and make it out there again this year, we will see.

Fullsizexj · Jun 30, 2010

I will be out there with the appalachian ridge runners in August

looks like that first drop off might eat a fuel tank with out a skid on it ?

If it has a skid why do you care? I'ts a pretty even drop so I don't think it would hit.

jcshaney · Jun 30, 2010

i thought about trying this but i was worried about my fuel tank it does not have a skid on it

BRIANHO13 · Jun 30, 2010

OIC, worse case is take a look at it and if it looks too rough don't try it.

Fullsizexj · Jul 2, 2010

all you have to do is go behind Brian and not take the same lines LOL

BRIANHO13 · Jul 4, 2010

I made it through with no issues this time, kinda nice knowing what the correct line is......

Fullsizexj · Jul 4, 2010

I figured you would, you showed me which ones not to take last time

87manche · Jul 5, 2010

I took those same lines, with some help from my friend superwinch.

Lions Den is no joke, and it hurt the Jeep pretty bad, but it still made it back to the campground and out the next day.
I can't wait to see all the video that Nick shot.

Pics:

It's a big first step!

Brian after the big notch

Tim IN the big notch

Me in the big notch, it's a tight squeeze even with my stock width 8.8 I don't know how Brian made it through.

Ouch!

Tim getting ready to hit the exit.

My winch had to come off, then I dropped in and got wedged pretty good.
