a few pics and vids of my trip to johnson valley ohv park for the king of the hammers race

 

 

i still need to upload the video of braking the back bumper and a few others will post after they are uploaded

Do you have Dual Range in that thing?

 

I would have thought it would do better than in that whinching video?

 

Pretty sweet pics though, I'd love to go to that event sometime.

yes it dose have duel range i instaled it 2 days before i left for the trip that sand hill i climed was very steep cant tell from the video though i did better than the jeeps in fact only 1 dirt bike made it up that hill all week that i saw here is the vid of the jeep trying the same hill i winched up i made it farther than he did and i was on bald street tires and not aired down at all and the vid of my bumper breaking stupily trying to pull the jeep up off of a burm un fortunatly the camera man dident get the sucsesfull pulling out of the jeep but did get my bumper breaking

jEALOUS .LOVE KOH.

this time before i use my bumper im gona finish weld everything and put the 4 bolts in the center section[extra body bracing ] and add diamond plate to it to match the front the bumper mounts up in 5 different places and uses 15 bolts to atatch it  if you notice i was still pulling hard even after it broke and besides braking things is half the fun fixing them when you get home and remebering how fun it was braking it is the other half of the fun

the bumper was never intended to hold up to that kind of use if it had been bolted up allthe way whos to say what would have happend if i used  one piece tubes i wouldent be able to get everything up as high as i did it will be stronger this time around but not as strong as if it where a 1 piece bee but how much can the car handle anywway as stupid as what i did was i did find the week link and am fixing it but next time ill be nicer to the car and use multiple atatchment points and spread the load and not jerk it so hard and most importantly think it through it was so easy to pull it down hill but it wasent nearly as much fun
