I've never had issues... :dunno:
I never did before either.
I've done that line well over a dozen times (I did it again and again when I was on 32's, as well as several times on 35's) including 10 minutes prior to the flop. I just gave it too much throttle and was a little too far to the left this last time. Bad luck this time, I'd say.
When I go wheeling, I like to actually wheel my rig. And I'm typically too impatient to find someone to spot me who knows the line and is confident...so I do a lot of lines on my own, when I SHOULD have a spotter. I built my rig to test myself and it's abilities (within reason), not to drive to the top of the rocks and sit and watch other people, like so many others do. Accidents happen, but at least I'm using my rig to it's fullest potential. Too many people focus on when I damage my rig, and not when I don't.
That was the easiest flop I've ever seen, he had just a little bit of luck on his side. At the time all you could tell was that he banged up his A-pillar a little and broke his driver mirror.
I would agree, it was a pretty easy flop. But looking back, I really wish I wasn't so busy watching that rock get closer and closer and instead threw it in reverse. I bet I would have made it out no problem if I did.
Its easy to build a rig but for some it takes awile to learn to drive one. :roflmao:
Where were you this weekend? Didn't see you doing any wheeling. :moon: Seriously though Dave, it's been awhile man. I'd like to hit some trails with you again!
Damage on the rig wasn't all the bad, smashed late model mirror and some dents, nothing to justify scrapping my rig.
Also, I feel it's worth noting...the last two times I've gone to Naches I've been on stock shafts with an E-locker and 35's. Still no broken shafts. :cheers:
