Default I failed...

So I met up with Allen, Dadgummit and JKinLB at Wildomar today when I got back from Mojave. We were exploring all the different trails when we came across this little gem of a ravine. Allen made it through just fine so....well...if Allen can do it I could do it! I was wrong....

Start:


Fail...:



And Dadgummit dragging me out...:


Good news is that he got to test out his shiney new tow strap and bumper that he just installed!

Oh, and the only real damage was my pride....and some new scuffs in the fender flares.

Looks like we just missed you guys.

As I was driving over that rut I was wondering what it would look like if I slide in.

Thanks for answering the question haha

Not really, didnt do any real damage. My skid plates can share a few stories though. Just look at the one hanging on with only two bolts.

Hey Brian...Fail is a very strong word...I would say you just took a different line than me.

I wish we would have gotten a pic of my right front tire up in the air! That would have been a good pic!
