one eye Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 (edited) The last run up to walker was a bad run, 3 out of the 4 of us where knocked off in the first ten mins of of wheeling. So might as well try it again on Saturday March 14th, I think it would be cool to try and go up in the gravel pit and go up upper Mainline, trying to get around the gate at the lower side is just going to tear everthing up, there is no good way to get by there, you just drop down on your axle and bust the rearend or the shaft coming out of it. anyways............thats the plan.............. Meeting place @ GI Joes at exit 227 mount vernon 9:00 AM Jeff Edited March 9, 2009 by one eye Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bheinen74 Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 is there a way you could use a trailer wheel ramp for that rock bump at the gate, the one i see pictures ff and your subies busting rear diff axles cups on the big rock hump....or maybe some old tires down and plywood over.

one eye Posted March 3, 2009 Author Share Posted March 3, 2009 I Was thinking the same thing, just a metal ramp, like for loading a lawn mower would do the trick. Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

one eye Posted March 15, 2009 Author Share Posted March 15, 2009 I got some videos and pics, it was raining and Snowing pretty hard so I didn't get to many, I'll upload a few after bit. I killed my doors and woody tried to put a bullet in his sedan, but other than that very little damage was done, Next run I think welded rearends will be a must, John did pretty good considering but still had trouble. The jeep of course did very well but the other jeep was on its first run ever so he took it very EZ. I'll post up some vids real soon .........................
