So I got together with my local club, Austin Jeep Exclusive, to do a run out at Long Ranch just outside of Llano this last weekend. 1300 acres of sandy loam soil with a few mounds of granite thrown in for good measure. I was too busy behind the wheel to get many action shots. I had only one major stuck the whole day, and it was a doozie. But because of the heavy rain that was falling at the time, I didn't get any of that. The first few are of me on the rocks. The last is all of us lined up in the creek.
Everybody there was on 33's or bigger, with some up to 37's. And they were doing things the KJ just couldn't. So by the middle of the day, I was given the nickname "bypass". The first trail I went down took us through a creek with some pretty large imbedded rocks upon which I was sure I would smack something. Thank the maker for the Mopar t-case skid, and I did just that by sacrificing it instead of the t-case. Yep, ripped right out of the cross member, and dropped into the creek. Went back later and found it though, and needless to say it will be thru bolted upon reinstallation. Hopefullly I can get pictures of that when I get up under there. Anyway, thanks for looking. |
