That sux dude, maybe next run.

Had an out friggin standing time today. We ran the connector and bronco peak. The connector is IMO the most challenging trail outside of Johnson Valley in Socal. Lots of adrenaline and a bit of carnage but we all made it out under our own power and safe. There will be video and some pics forthcoming that my brother and his buddy took. It might be a week or two but believe me it will be worth the wait.

 

[JCS JP]

I voted for the hardest trails. But I would not do them because I do not have rock rails yet. And I don't like body damage. But I can not go my gears are not broke in yet. Grrrrrrrrrrrrr. Does anybody have an extra seat?

Didn't I say I don't like BODY DAMAGE. Why did I even try to follow you John. At least I know now that you need to build me rock rails.

 

[CaliXJ]

I have some good video of you smashing up that rocker pretty good. The rails i have that Willy51 aka Mike Finch built did awesome! Might try asking him for a set too.

I should have some video up in a day or two.

 

[CaliXJ]

Ok so here is some video of the trip. For some reason i put the wrong day in there and can't seem to change it now. Title should be...Bronco Peak 6-18-11.

Cool vid Marc, say thanks to your wife for being the camera woman. My first attempt at the V-notch was exactly the line NOT to take. I'm looking for a passenger mirror now because of that.

John, awesome trip! I can't wait to see the vid and pics that your bro and friend took.

Wow! That camera takes some pretty nice pics. Was deffenantly an awesome day to remember. Just wish we had another battery for our camera. Having your winch saved us a few times and i would say its a must have at least in the group to wheel there. Thanks again.

terryg: Bronco Peak and the connector are two of the hardest i've done so far and will be doing them again. Its starting to get HOT out there and the flies!!!! Holy Sh*t!!! That was the worst part.

 

[sdspearo]

No joke about the flies! They were relentless, and they bite! I wore shorts that day and I have about 50 bites on each leg and arm, just like mosquito bites...and they frickin itch! Next time I'm wearing pants, long sleeves, and one of those mosquito nets you wear over your head.

Would my rig on 31's, locked front and rear, with rock sliders, and a rookie driver be able to make this?

 

[CaliXJ]

I would have to say NO on the Connector. Bronco Peak would still be a challange because of clearance. Sidewinder i think would be ok. May have a few tough spots in it to though. (We didn't run that one)

 

[1990JEEPXJ]

the toughest part of sidewinder is the end of it. bronco wouldnt be too bad with a spotter.

So Connector it is then.. got to challenge myself.

"why are we doing this?"
"what do ya mean?"
"well they say it can't be done."
"Then that's the reason son."
"That's good with Fred, I'm out"
