Some guys were talking crap to my buddy with the maroon FJ tellin him it must be a jeep thing, i though he was gonna crack some skulls on the hill out there.
Then theres the guy with the sami, stripped, lifted and locked on boggers. Tellin me you have to go slow lol, that he didnt even spin a tire. Yea, in my stock X im gonna crawl through a 2 foot hole of mud that everyone is tellin me not to go through.
Other than the shit talkers out there, i had alot of fun. Met alot of cool people and made some new friends with the black FJ. Again, more people who dont mind beating up their brand new rig.

Yeah, I saw that FJ working his way out of stuck in that one pit right after I got there, and said "shoot. I can handle that." -- stuck in 4hi/2nd gear, and just drove a good line right through without even so much as a hesitation. The second time through that hole I had some issues as I came off the hill that time and didn't get as good of a line. I should've skipped the longer mud pit as, man, I had nothin' but problems with all that mud in my engine. Took me over an hour today to get it all out of the radiator =)
I was glad to chase that stock FJ around for a while - those big water holes can be intimidating when you don't know how deep they are. It's funny, they kept talking to me like I didn't know what I was doing - I had to tell them I had been raised 4-wheeling, and this wasn't my first rodeo =) (A lot of people assume new jeep == new driver, it seems.) They kept going on about how much 3-wheeling I'd do on that one downhill (rollover hill I think it was called?) - and after watching them teetering trying to keep from flipping, they stopped offering so much advice on how to handle obstacles when I made it w/o even getting one wheel off the ground.
It was fun to crawl right up that hill without even a slip after watching that lifted rubi spin out on it. Can't wait to go back!
n2rock: I won't be able to go this Saturday, as I'll be fishing, but if the GF doesn't mind, I may make it back out on Sunday. (She might get upset if I spend the entire weekend doing just what I want to =)

I dont even know why they call it rollover pass, iv never lifted a tire there and i go through there kinda fast. That one climb you did befor you guys went to the tunnels was sick.
Cant make it out on sat, gotta work until 4. I might be good for sunday though, i want the GF to scome with me. The last time she went wheelin with me was in highschool in my first jeep, she ended up getting scared and crying lol. So, i gotta break her in with the new jeep.

WELL... You've seen his Jeep and you've seen mine!!!!
And I've had mine 9 months longer!
Everything goes on his first!
But he forgets that I know how to wrench TOOOOOO!
One day he's gonna wake up to a stripped Short Bus!!!!!!!
