how about the genral take on rattle rock in the spring eh?? what do you think?

...sounds good to me!

The Willys should be ready to handle it by then as well

Yeah, last year a guy on 35s open open stock gears grenaded literally everything in his jeep trying to complete trail 39. We were on it until 3 in the morning trying to get off. Literally every Jeep had a mechanical failure of some type. Jarrad almost got away with no damage, but his alternator failed while trying to winch the Jeep I just spoke about off the trail.

That was me. I think last year was so bad because the weather. I have ran 39 open/open on 31's with no problems when it was dry....the trail has gotten alot worse since then and is almost impossible open if it is wet.

 

[Team Willys]

Yeah, they made a bypass at the end now, kinda sucks... But the V-notch area isn't doable for a rig that isn't locked in both axles unless they winch. Heck, our entire group was locked with 35"+ swampers and we all had to give it multiple attempts before making that section.

i have more photos coming sometime, got my copies last night.

and to Tim aka hardstruggler, i heard you didnt get your tow rope back. i remember taking it off the big tree at the end of rattlerock and putting your drings back on, before i could toss the rope back in the jeep you were ready to make the last stretch, so i rolled it up and apparently placed it on a rock we were all standing around so i could help spot, and i have photographic evidence of exactly where it was put but nothing on it actually getting in your jeep... im guessing it got left on the rock in all the dirt throwing, hugging celebration that followed the end of the trail... not sure on that. unless someone else picked it up.

i havent seen it, maybe its still there ill swing by rattelrock tommorrow mornin

 

[Team Willys]

Cool, maybe theres a chance it s still there, since that was on Sunday afternoon, I doubt rattle rock gets much traffic during the week.

 

[YJ-GENRAL]

that would be awesome.

uploading photos to the internet as we speak, going to try and not overlap you doug.

 

[YJ-GENRAL]

OKAY, here are some pics for you guys. most of mine are from rattlerock since daddy doug hit all the highlights.

dan getting stuck on basically flat ground! how? slight dip and a large underground rock right down the middle he couldnt see LOL

dan getting winched out after the second explosion of his rear ubolts/joints

tim making his way through the rocks

THIS is how you should ride with Tim: seat belts tight, holding on and a stupid grin on yoru face cuz its a wild ride (taken shortly after the tree stand)

doug helping a brother out!

Tim tapping the dead tree(wait for it)

if you dont notice it right away, not too worry that 6 foot 4in dia log didnt just appear out of no where on the rock in front of the jeep, it came from 30-40 feet up in the air attached to the dead tree!

tyler near the top, he can see the finish line!

here let me just roll this GINORMOUS rock into that hole for you...

almost to the top, rounding the big ass tree

you drove right by the strap! why didnt you pick it up

celebratory hug for Tim and Tyler!

hope you enjoyed the slide show :yelclap: party1:

 

[Ghost]

Rattlerock looks fun.

 

[YJ-GENRAL]

yeh im guessing tim still has that stupid grin on his face from the satisfaction of making it all the way through in one day without breaking anything

i plan on running it one of these days!

 

[trail rate this]

That looks like an awesome place to wheel. Looks like awesome weather too.

 

[JeepAddict85]

No sir. That will change though, plus I have a plan for a different axle also.
