The day's lineup: Rob R's Teraflex'd (& proud of it) TJ,
Chris P's CJ-7 (35" Super Swamper Boggers), Somebody's TJ
(the only winch there that day), a red Scrambler, my ZJ (completely
stock suspension), my sister-in-law's TJ (also completely stock
suspension), (& from there it get's blurry...). The red vehicle
third from the end is a Comanche, and next is Dave Cooley's Cherokee.
|
|
The first really fun obstacle of the day. The ZJ goes swimming!
(No, it's not floating...)
|
|
My first and only 'stuck' of the day. This was just a little too
steep and a little too high-center for me with stock suspension.
The stock TJ made it on the second try!
|
|
NOT STUCK! (How could he be, with those boggers???) Just
having a few engine problems... Didn't need to use the strap after
all (well, not 'til later...).
|
|
The Commanche made everything look easy that day...
|
|
The Cherokee impressed everyone, too...
|
|
But eventually, the Cherokee got stuck in a deep mud bog.
(I didn't attempt this one in my stock ZJ.)
|
|
I tried to tow the Cherokee out like this, but I thought I had about
10-15 feet more strap. That would have been enough to get me onto
flat ground with some traction... (see the bypass on the left?)
|
|
So the Scrambler pulls me, pulling the Cherokee out...
|
|
Some rock-climbing! Not for me (yet)! The Comanche makes it
without breaking a sweat.
|
|
So does the Cherokee.
|
|
Everyone took it a LOT slower on the way down... Can't see where
you're stepping!
|
|
The CJ with engine problem makes it up... almost... barely...
|
|
Poor thing... It lost its clutch on the drive home. This
arrangement here got the CJ the rest of the way home -- about
100 miles. Couldn't see anything out my rear window, and I
couldn't safely get it much above 55mph. But the CJ got home,
and we even had a couple minutes to snap some photos before
Chris caught up behind us!
