Bout as wild as can be on the Gulf Coast
Heres a few of ours from today at Eglin. Not very wild compared to alot of yall.
Carried both front wheels over this one. I scared my wife so the pic sucked.
Next two dont show the side angle very well. My passenger was having to push me into my seat as we went thru it.
Had fun. We ran most everything in HI/HI center locked. The Jeeps were running in low and still hanging up and struggling-we lumbered right thru.
My wife got to drive for the first time and made a few spots in HI look easy while the Jeeps struggled in LOW-was freaking awesome.

The album links appear to be working but my direct image links to Facebook don't seem to be working.
Also, anybody know how to post Facebook video? I tried copying the video "embed" link into a hyperlink and they don't seem to work.
Thanks.

Yeah, first try didn't go so well. Right front tire ran up the side. We winched the truck to the right and I backed right out. Little beauty mark left on the 1/4 panel.
Second attempted I cut it into the rock (left). Used the metaltech sliders to the full extent. Got over fine with just a little scrape on the back left corner.

The only "wild wheeling" done recently was this... Yes three out of four tires broke the bead, and one rear axle busted seal. After all it was 90% river crossings.

Here's a couple from the first annual "Cruiser Fest" at Miller Motorsports Park in Tooele (too-WILL-ah )
Not hugely extreme by any means, but way fun. The second and third pics were taken by a nice guy named Jason Day.

Do you remember the air pressure you were running? How much do you run now? I guess I'm a little skeered of being alone in the woods with a tire off the bead -- don't want to know if the "ether trick" really works (but I carry it)

Back in my earlier wheeling days, we were out trail-drinking (I said early days!). I got to witness one of the hillbillies we were with blow 3 tires off the beads and ether them back in record time. He was tanked too. He hd a 350 Chevy in an S10 and liked to put air under the truck. The best part of that trip? The guy that did it's name was Bo and his cousin Luke was in another truck. I kid you not! I got a couple pics from that night somewhere I should scan in.
I just watched a guy ether one back a few weeks ago. Took him a few tries to get the eher amount right though. Not Bo though. He got it right all 3 times.

I ran 15 PSI, too low for my rims and the trail, (found out too late). We could not use the ether trick because the valve stems were ripped off by the mud. The trick works, some of my friends had done it. The valve stems now all four are new and the steel type.

Probably belongs in a new thread: Worst Stuck! Sorry if this is a hijack! My come-along was not up to the recovery,
so I now have an ARB Magnum hand winch...
