Went to Isenberg and had alittle boo boo.

I wanted to put these up before I went on leave to the states but I was to mad at myself to show them off. But I am better now and I can tell you one thing be careful out there you never know what could happen.

Quick explaination ... it was an easy crossing but I had it in 2 wheel drive HI instead of 2 wheel low. I stepped on the gas alittle and the Jeep literally jump about 5 feet to the right. The guy that pulled me out (which happened to be the same guy that helped me install the lift) told me is I would have turned my wheels to the right the truck would have rolled down the bank.

Pretty scary for the first time.

Since then I have not been off roading but I do plan to go out again just not sure when. Libby is my pride and joy and I don't want to reck her!!!

The good thing is the only damage was I had to rescrew the license plate bracket back on!!!!



This guy drove this truck like a mad man. The sad thing is it wasn't even his truck.

Was going to go through this mud hole but then I decided that I should back out it went up and over the guys hood in front of me. He was in the process of getting the Jeep pulled out when I took the picture.

No the Jeep pictured in the mud hole had mud go up and over his hood...I believe that is what he was trying to convey to us...

Yeah thats what I ment. Sorry I was in a hurry when I wrote it. In the mud hole I had to back out becuase the mud was up and over the hood of the Jeep in the picture.

Recovery points. I had them on order and of course being in Germany everything takes forever so needless to say they never got here.
