  • Trail Report: Put, Put, put at Cougars buts

    Met up with Fred this morning to put ole Betsy through her paces after her latest facelift.
    Lots a fun, we must have hit just about every waterfall we could find.
    We started on the lil trail after Hammerdown and ran that all the way to the end, then found some cool extra credit stuff at the end. Then started hunting for parts of the on the rocks trail, had fun on that.
    Then did a bit of crosscountry/ cross rock driving. Mikey would be a good trail to see if the trans pan is deep enough.
    It starts with a nice steep climb, steeper than the widow maker rock
    After that some more playing around then we found the coolest waterfall, kinda my practice for Helldorado.
    On the way back at the start of Hammerdown we saw a really nicely built JK really really stuck.
    Help those guys get that thing unstuck and that wrapped up the day quite nicely.
    So in short to sum it up, Ole Betsy's big bad 111" rocks, a few minor issues with the steering other than that she is Hammer ready

            Yup we had a ball, the Guy with the JK thought he could just drive over some of this stuff. goes to show you that 43" tires and a V8 still have limitations. Still one very nice and very expensive Jeep

                Dang that wheeling stuff must be fun! Looks like JK guy had about 9" too much wheel base to do what he tried

                  Not only wheelbase lol the rocks were a tad bigger than he saw them in his mind's view.
                  When we got there he was positioned like this.

                    Wow! No wonders he had wondered out alone. Guess there is always a rock that is a little too big.

                        That knucklehead sure got himself stuck every which way he could. 100K is probably pretty close to what is in that Jeep, still very nice rig.
