Default Biglow and I went and ran some stuff over...

Good day last minute run. Not hammers but a fun day none the less... Scott made the waterfall in a 2dr non stretch which is great... The other go round was so dug out it was ridiculous and with recent rain really odd...

Dirt was a bit wet which made sticking to the rocks a PIA..... Had a tough time on super steep stuff, tires would just pack up before rock then slide and drift around. Had a Oh" poo" moment on a nasty 1 way up 1 way down rutted and rocks in the middle extremely steep chute.... Drug diff had to back a little up and hammer down... Backing down wasn't an option...
Scott over steered another trail and brought the front end up there...

Got steep enough I had smoke come off the motor from something spilling out, lost oil pressure (oil light came on) and gas was too far out from pickup starved of fuel....

Yeah I'm in Oceanside so we frequent it a lot... I will say even stretched I have a couple lines that only my 4dr taco on 40s and a buddies buggy have made. Showed the one to scott today...Was hard not hitting my own lines... Very humbling.... lmao...

Still a great spot and lots of fun....always a great views from the top... Love the look over the ocean.

Scott can fill you in on em....they are down in SD. there's full blown buggy lines and then there's long wheelbase stuff as well as about everything that will put your rig through its paces....

Good day o wheelin. What a way to bring in the new year.

Was fun comparing a stretch to non stretch jk since we have pretty similar jeeps.

The Trepeedors did some nice crawling in the lose dirt ruts and side walling, Travis's MTRs owned the rocks.

Michele hadn't been out wheeling in awhile so it was nice to get out and gas on it with my special gal.
