Night runs

so i went for my first night run a month or so ago and it was a lot of fun. it adds a whole new aspect and difficulty to wheeling. it was a trial i had never been on befor called "little stoney". its a 4-6 difficulty on a 1-10 scale but night made it more like a 7. it is prety much all rock climping, i think it is a dried up creek bed, so picking lines was very important. i went with my local 4wheeling group and it went really smooth. the only real damage was a broken upper strut mount on a TJ ( witch i later TIG welded it up for a nice free fix) as for the libby it came out with just a dented lower rear strut mount. my only regret is that i havent been back to this trail during the day :lol:

......... so does anyone else wheel at night? do u like it? if u havent u should try.. hope to hear others thought on this. sorry for the lengthy post

ummmm.....I find kaopectate works best for night runs....... :lol:

BuTT seriously, ( :lol:

) I don't enjoy night wheeling as much as day wheeling for several reasons. I don't get to see as much scenery or action and it is tough to get good pics. It does make it interesting and different but just not as satisfying as day time wheeling.

ummmmmm so you do you mean you were drinking??? if so not cool....a danger to you, your friends and your jeep. please please please tell us all this was not the case. plus, if you get caught, it looks bad on all us that wheel responsibly and respect the environment.

maybe thats why u came out missing a tire and a mashed up fender. be glad ur not in jail or worse killed someone or urself on the way home or on the trail. but if u dramk those beers when u got home to deal with the pain of doing that damage to ur Jeep then i would have done the same. but please everyoe dont drink and drive and deff. not on the trails. thats how good trails get close well that and other reasons but it could happen.

zeks05 i was just trying to look out buddy no harm in that and if u were on ur own land then yeah thats ur own buisness.. it wasnt a statement made at u but to everyone and yes i know first hand i was one that drank at the bar and drove home till i got a DUI.. it ruined my life for way to long and i still pay more for insurance than i do for my jeep every month.. so i do like to warn people what can happen sorry that u took that offensivly.. u can do what u want i never said that u couldnt but just to make good judgment and it looks like u did and i know s**t happens on the trail and thats just part of it. hope this post can go back to NIGHT RUNS now

and P.S. Bud light sucks :lol:
