Rock crawling picture thread.

who's Beezil?

Beezil is the ghost of a once great XJ fabricator.

And proud we are of all of him.

heres a rock crawling pic to get things back on track by the way this is not me

Just to bring some tech into this thread :spin1: - imagine dropping down that ledge with a high(er) COG..

Just for y'all that don't know, the pics of the full on comp. rock buggies aren't pics of "rock crawling".
That's what's called "rock racing".

Personally, I hate those things.
Reminds me of a more teched-up 4x4 redneck. (think, mud bogger on rocks)

I'd rather see pics of "real life" rock crawling.

I was at the competition and I disagree with you on the point of them not being rock crawlers. Yes they are purpose built and use the best and latest in technology and yes they go a bit faster than the XJ but that doesnt meen the drivers and spotters dont use skill and it doesnt meen that they dont deserve kudos for having the balls to do the most extreme climbs Ive eve seen attempted.

This one broke

this one rolled

The whole point is to score a better time than everyone else.
That, my friend, is racing.
Plus, I never said it doesn't take skill, I said it is teched-up redneck.
While the rigs may be neato and all, most folks on here can't associate with them.

Got any pics of normal folks having fun on some kickass trails?
Like this....

No, that's just after the waterfall on Black Sheep.

That's a bunch of BS Terry. Those guys aren't rock racing. Go to Avalanche Ranch, then you'll see rock racing.

Personally, I love those things. And the sport of rockcrawling would still be inundated with sprung over crappy riding SWB's if it wasn't for the advancement of the sport of rockcrawling competitions.

And since I would see a comp buggy taking this exact same line (actually, there wasn't any rubber on it yet), I tried it. Sadly, I was denied with the typical irocks on h2's blown bead syndrome.
