What up all?

Well, unfortunately I won't be able to make it to the GIGA meet at the end of this month, but yesterday, a couple of my boys from work were itching for some off road action and dubbed me the expedition leader for an impromptu trip to Hungry Valley. A good time had by all, some mechanical gremlins, one tire blowout (me, of course ), and some good pictures snapped. The park is in fine form and everything looks good for you guys heading out in two weeks. Enjoy!



Showin' these rookie wheelers how it's done in the Sluice Box at the 4WD playground (that's my friend Alfredo's wife, Maria, poking out the top of the Jeep).



No, I didn't let my friend Marco's son (Mikey) drive the Jeep...just a poser shot!



Some more gratuitous "Jeep porn."



This would look even more G if I had 37s!



Alfredo showing the park what a stock WK can do.



"Yes Russ, I KNOW I need to lift it...and I also know the 4" WK Superlift kit is on sale this weekend from 4WP...you got $1400 bones I can borrow???"



Marco's got his '96 Montero leanin' like a Cholo.



Marco's wife, Natalie, hanging on for dear life.



Some gratuitous "three wheel motion."



Fredo's purty Grand Cherokee takin' some body shots!



Thank GOD for Road Hazard!


In the end, Fredo's Cherokee made it out relatively unscathed. The engine on Marco's Montero took a dump, and we had to tow it out of the park. I'm getting a new tire tomorrow...and these guys are ready to go out again! It's like I told them, "The joy of wheelin' is as contagious as Ebola!"

Nice job Russ!
Glad to see you've been active!
You gonna make it tomorrow?

 

Hijo, donde esta el lugar de encuentro? I thought you guys were doing a run instead?


Russ D.

 

Well, a couple of months ago, yeah. I guess that tree branch that I ran over didn't like the harsh treatment.

Cool pictures Russ, looks like you had fun!

 

Oh, it was ALL good, babe! The worst day of wheelin' (which, by far, this was NOT) is better than ANY day at work, I always like to say.


Russ D.

 

True dat dawg! I 100 percent agree!!!!! I would totally take a day of beating up my Jeep over scanning a gazillion documents like I have been for two days!!!!

BTW I was gonna get all jealous seeing that chick hanging out of your top but then you explained so it's all good now LMAO!!!

 

Ha ha ha ha, you know it's all good. I might as well have "Property of Rangleme" branded on my forehead for what it's worth.
