Tank Trap, HH. 9/6/08
Finally... I have be able to complete the famous Top Truck challenge's most difficult trail at Hollister Hills today without any breakage or body damage.
Only had to winch TWICE
. I must say by far this has been the most challenging trail I have done.
Not to mention that I ate a YJ buggy on 40" for lunch as well.
5th buggy that I have killed so far in the pass few months.
It was very nice of meeting up with the new faces vgullotta and his friends with the YJ.
And special thanks to Jeff aka beepjeep to spot and assisting on placing to winch spots.
I did not take much of pictures since I was busy grabbing onto that steering wheel, but here are some of the pics I have and others had taken. And all the pics are taken AFTER the hard parts since everyone were busy keeping me on the right line. However I think Jeff has some pics taken on his camera phone during the hard part of the trail.
Here are what I have so far. (80% off camber)
After the Tank Trap. Jeff jointed me for a final run before we headed out.
Oh yea... once again this was a last min run that I was informed few hrs before the trip... please warn me early next time!!!

Screw the water! 4 yrs ago them water almost swallowed my WJ.
And I think during the dry season, the very fine dirt/sand they have which covered the whole entire trail has made up for the wetness...I was slip and slide everywhere.!!!
