Rooinater Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 well, an all day recon run, to find locate and map out clip wash with gps coordinates for the yuma 4 wheelers. needless to say... didn't break anything on saturday. but got plenty of body damage. was stratling a couple hundred foot long crack, back tire slipped and oops... took it easy backed out as far as i could, got hung on a rock on the rear passenger door. so i played it safe, got winched forward. no stub breakage all day! and we were wheeling pretty hard all day.

Rooinater Posted February 13, 2007 Author Share Posted February 13, 2007 You "rock" Jared! get it? lol Sweet pics man. Did you make it thru this? not yet, i copied and pasted the recon run report that i posted on the yuma 4 wheelers forum. it was within the first 1/4 mile of the trail, out of close to 15 miles. as soon as i get the tcase skid plate, i'll attempt it. there's a tcase hanger dead center of that climb. nice rock pointing out.

Turbone Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 Holy cow Jared, thats some rough stuff.

heep70 Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 Thanks for sharing. How come you hung your cloths out to dry on the cable? Looks kinda dry out there to be getting wet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rooinater Posted February 13, 2007 Author Share Posted February 13, 2007 Thanks for sharing. How come you hung your cloths out to dry on the cable? Looks kinda dry out there to be getting wet. keep that cable from lashing back, breaking my window and killing me... Holy cow Jared, thats some rough stuff. Is there going to be anything left of your rig to bring back to WA?:-pYour going to think the stuff we got up here is boring after all that there will be some left of my rig when i get back and sell it, it's only body damage. i'll be selling it with another wagon body, 2 engines, spare 5 speed d/r and tcase. the wheeling down here has traction, up there it doesn't. so i'll have to get used to slick surface and squeezing between trees again!

Rooinater Posted February 13, 2007 Author Share Posted February 13, 2007 yes buy a winch yeah, for my yota... :-p i'm selling lil roo with all the stuff in the above post when i get back to washington, so july she'll be being sold. i'll miss her, she's my first car and has well over $6k invested into her over the years. but you gotta do what you gotta do. always, moving forward, never backwards. and i need the money to buy more parts for the yota.

Phizinza Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 Sad to hear your selling the roo, but I can see why.. Those pictures are AWESOME. What you do in that rig looks like so much fun.. And I wise there was a place near me, even 500km away, that was anything like that.. Very nice.. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Animal_Gso Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 Bummer, the pics where deleted before I got to see them. wished I had known about the clothe on the cable trick before I had a pull strap break and the hook dented my back panel on my wagon. was just lucky it did not hit the back glass.
