We made an impromptu run to Chinaman's yesterday. It was Luke, Lonnie and myself on the run. This is the first test for Pretty Penny since I built the rear antiwrap bar and the rear bumper. The bumper isn't finished yet. It will have wings on the sides to protect the quarter panels. I cut 5" off the driver side quarter panel but still need to cut the passenger side.
In the first picture you can see that the rear wheels are not on the ground. Guess what happens when you try to back up in this situation? Oh ya and notice the tree behind Pretty Penny and the thing we didn't notice was that the driver side of the bumper was pushing on a tree root that was just under the dirt.
In the second picture you can see the bumper held up just fine with only a little missing paint. We had to pull Pretty Penny sideways to get her off the tree root so we could then pull her back off the rock after the birfield busted.
Lonnie was telling how I needed to line up for this obstacle. This is the second time Lonnie tried telling how to climb over this obstacle and the second birfield I busted on the same obstacle. Lonnie winched me off it both times. At this point I am not sure if I am glad Lonnie was with me both times since he winched me both times or if its Lonnie’s fault I busted both times.
