The Cliffs Insane Terrain trip 1-1-15

My buddy Zach and I took out our Jeeps to the cliffs for the first time ever. We've always wanted to go and finally went. He had his 05' Wrangler and I had my 94' XJ. Both have 3" lifts and 31x10.50s.

I bought my XJ 3 weeks ago for $1,200 with 95k miles cause it needed a water pump. Cost me $25 for a new one. Well I figured out why he sold it so cheap. Turns out the tcase chain slips. After we left the office at the cliffs, we went right and immediately as I crossed the creek I got to the other side and got stuck. So I put it in 4x4 and hit the gas. Loud clunking, jerking, and hellish sound came from my XJ and it didn't move. Took it out of 4x4 and noise was gone. So I went the whole day in 2wd. Let me tell you..that didn't stop me. I came out to have a good time and I did.

Made it all the through just to hit ice and lose traction.

All patched. Sets in 5minutes. I left it over night cause there was so many holes.

Some gas to make sure it doesn't leak.
