Sunday fun!!
Myself, JimmyJoe+, and a L.R. Disco owner-but newly converted fan,
friend of mine, all decided to brave 40 mph winds, and hard rain, to go out on Sunday 3/7, and get em dirty. here's the goods. nothing too hairy, but the STANDING mud we found in some spots was at min, 1-2 ft deep-
Thats mud without waterholes. did a little fording too
-but nothing $10 at the quarter wash cant cure!
these Jeeps continue to amaze me-ridiculously capable
here they are in no particular order-Enjoy!
airing down before



first stuck-dont worry Mark, I dont think a frontend loader would've made it out of that hole!


second stuck-pics misleading-very steep downhill, sideways grade-hit a rut and slid down fast



LOOK OUT! MAN EATING RUTS!

the aftermath



jimmyjoe's rig-with new lift and shoes

my girl

Mark's rig-200k modded rover-badass-has older tires-new shoes may have helped, but hard to account for a 3 ft deep hidden hole!

bath time

the last 2 are poor quality vids, and the first 15 secs of vid #1 is a little painful-
fire the camera man!
-this was very exciting, nerve racking and confidence building all at once--JK swimming only!!

God that's annoying-so sorry!--it was a blast, and for the record-I never got stuck, but only by dumb luck-the mud gods shined upon me that day! pure luck based on that mess! I suppose I was chosen to be the recovery vehicle
--that water was crazy-and mud...
I'm not exaggerating when I say, it was 2-3ft deep in places!-that's standing flat ground, no water, or water holes, just mud
