well since I got rid of big stupid jeep we're relegated to baby locked jeep.

so I can't play in those big holes, but would love to come down there and do some trail riding in the mountains.
I don't even drive anymore, it's more fun to coach my wife.

So jealous... It was -18 degrees last night here in NH and still 2 1/2 feet of snow outside... I wont be wheeling for 2 more months.

 

[jbain08]

We wheeled on Friday and it was 58 and sunny.... Saturday it was 54 and sunny.... on Sunday I was at the local park making apple butter for the boy scouts and it was snowing and 32 degrees.... It's been a wierd winter.

Just found this pic..... the Ole Manche flexes pretty good.....

After breaking the rear driveshaft (on the rock under the transmission) a glove and duct tape was all I could find to make this trail repair...

On the hook .... trying to get my now front wheel drive MJ out of Ladder.

 

[blondejoncherokee]

always carry spare front and rear DS !

 

[jbain08]

I had a spare front...... however finding an Automatic MJ driveshaft is next to impossible..... XJ's are a dime a dozen.....

 

[chedisme]

how awesome would it be if that glove spun around while you drove.

Should have hung the GOPRO under it just to see what happened.... :laugh:

I like the bed rail caps you have there.

 

[jbain08]

Thanks.... buddy of mine bent them up for me.... without them I'd have totaled the bedsides.....

 

[Lowrange2]

Pretty cool idea.

Spent 4 days in Harlan last week and had a great time.... however on the 3rd day the Power Steering Pump failed making an attempt at the Lions Den impossible..... Here are a few pics and I'll try and get some video's up later in the week.

Working the waterfall.... it was wet though and I couldn't stay out of that dang tree

Working intimidator backwards

Had to use a lot of throttle but I made it out of Lower Damnation without using the hook

Poser Pic with a TJ at the upper rock garden

Working Mason Jar..... my favorite trail of the trip

On White Tail Crawl ...... right before the Pitman Arm broke... notice the new bedside and B-Pillar Damage from the Upper Rock Garden the day before... .
