This was his first outing with the CJ. His previous wheeling experiance is mostly driving my JK through things that would make Matt cringe... lol


Those 2 were cool as hell. Heck, the whole group was great. I got to see the 2 of them and the guy with the YJ (I forget his name...damn alcohol) with the blue tailgate have some fun on the rocks.


I had some fun on the way out. I had skipped one of the first mud pits when I saw everybody's nose go down in it. I hit it, unintentionally on the way out. There was an F-150 on the other end that backed out of the way. I started in and as soon as the nose dived I said "OH SHIT" gunned it and made it through.

Thanks a bunch for the help today. I had a great time considering I've NEVER been offroad in my life.

I'm gonna hit that trail again, no doubt. Good spot to start out on.

Here is a non-JK. This guy Kyle just got this rig and I believe it was his first time off-road...not positive though...

what a kickass little CJ5. Nice video. I didn't realize until farther along in it that he was winching up.

And Yes, that was Tex next to mine with the giant teddy bear. Someone please tell me why the two biggest rigs were basically parked next to me???!!! LOL!!
Matt great to meet you it's nice to have a face for the name. When you get your lift install you'll be giving Tex a run for his money! call the guys at RK they had the same problem with there jk one of the reason they developed the tranny pan in the first place there good guys down there I'm sure they help. Nice work with videos need you to come the "mall" and shoot some!

Hey Tom, it's too bad Matt didn't get any footage with your rig on those big boulders. Did you catch any pics yourself?

Hey Dave I didn't go on the run all I heard was mud and deep water which I am not a fan of either now if I knew they had some rocks to play on I might have gone out to play maybe when Matt gets his lift he'll take me out there to see what my junk can do

Matt you be fine with the your slider bolts the tranny pan replace the skid all together I believe so those bolts holes will be free. I'll need bigger tires to run that mud hole!
