You east guys don’t mess around. Lack of traction changes the crap out of things.

1.5yrs ago I was in a Construction site came down off the cut to find thT there was huge Artic truck tracks . I thought i will just ride the humps. . Uh nope hit a slick spot front tires slide over fell in triedto back up and thd rears fell in . Not a tree in site .. had to embarrassingly get on the CB and ask for a Dozer to come pull me backwards 🫠. As any good Jeeper would do I had straps . But was on both axles 🤦

I’ve only had to use it three times. But was happy on each. That one wasn’t a safety issue. It saved my tail light

It happens. I try to ride humps like that. Sometimes it does not work.

I tried to get that one but wasn't fortunate. Ill take one as a donation if someone wants to give theirs up but not paying for one.

I don’t like them. That’s my second passenger tail light. I center punched one with a juniper in 2022.

Uphill Both Ways - If it's wet, is just nasty. If it's dry, it's still not an easy day.
I took the Jeep club after it and it took 4 hours to get 13 Jeeps through the trail, one broke an axle.

Entrance hill climb, wet it would be sloppy. This was mostly dry-ish...

Pictures are out of order, so this is the entrance on one side before the sloppy starts.

Tons of fun on the trail, but just know it may look short, but there's plenty there to make you take your time. I'd avoid the squeeze with your rack/topper. I watched a YJ and TJ have a hard time and went around it personally, someone's damaged hard top lies in that spot to warn folks...

Old logging trails have some deep ruts.

Trying to figure out how I'm setting this all up... JCR molle rack. ICOM IC-2730b body mounted in glove box, head on the rack with a SP-35 speaker. Wolfbox G-whatever-it-is that fits between the mirrors. Modding the mic to take a magnetic mount I'll put on the rack further back between the seats. Compactenna LMR-1 between the cab and RTT and running wire for some Baja Designs rear facing dust lights while I'm at it.

Wiring is satisfying but it's also just so fucking tedious to do it right.

Also got a new bypass valve for my TJ's supercharger. Finally got some boost again!

Sounds like a thing. Now I want to do it more. But I’m deranged.
