Chiva run 5/12

[MaddBaggins]

Alvin: Didja? Didja do it?

Nope. We just boogied out of there at that point. It was F-n hot. I'll do it when I have a good spotter that I'm confident in. No rip on Jake, but even after running with him all day, I still don't know if he is a good spotter. We never needed to spot one another, so...

Don't worry John, I'll do it. I'm not scared of it, but I do want a good spotter on hand to tell me where I'm at. Safety First, before showing off.

It's not about that. It's about having fun and the feeling you'll get after the sucess!

I'm a damn good spotter (no offense taken )..but i'm just not that familiar w/ the 80's series and what you have done w/ it. But after watching you for the day you could surely take that on!! i would love to see both of you hit that left side then I would know what youre capable of... It was bloody hot that day arghhh summer's here we had to book out quickly before we melted!! Pics are getting developed tomorrow so we will see them soon. Hell I'm getting an allpro bumper this week for $400 (freaking great deal usually $1200 shipped) so i will have some extra clearance maybe I could give it (left side) a whirl yeahhhh right maybe after the SAS install in a year!!!

I would not bet against you making it. You would be lifting first your rear tire and then your front tire (big time). A front locker would offer added security and stability. I think you'd be OK if your PS slider didn't stop you.....but did I say you'd lift a front wheel BIG TIME? I think I could get you up that.

 

[TrAiLbUs1]

Nice I will be willing to try... just tie me off w/ some straps and I'll give it a go!! That wheel stand would be massive, maybe i need disco swaybars before the attempt..hoping someone will be fabbing these up sooner then later

Here is the off camber climb to the upper loop.. in slide film (cross processed), that was in the camera after the digital pooped out!!!
So steep this is!!

Maddbaggins arse and a hint of mine

Hanging under a giant oak tree!!

Rincon Mountains !!! love em!!!

Wheel stand!!!!! Steep too but you can't tell!!

Check this rig out, this was coming up chiva!!! the guy is quoted in the front w/ his thumb up "you are a redneck if you gots a lazy boy on the front of your truck" yes you are I said
That is one tore up bronco I think!!! these guys were the spotters too
Hicks!!! I couldn't believe it I'm yelling through the walkie talky to maddbaggins about whats coming up the trail damn hicks are creative!! Alvin noticed they had a shock broken hanging between the axle, so I brought that up to them..they say " shocks are overrated "

One more roll that's where the three feathers pics are!! They will be posted soon!

 

[brittan]

You guys were lucky you get away...those guys were in Deliverance...

Guy with the hat to Alvin...
"You got a pretty mouth..."

Alvin...
"ER...AAA...you got a broken shock, BYE"

Man that was close...

 

[MaddBaggins]

Awesome pics! I was too busy laughing at the absurdity of that rig to be scared.

 

[TrAiLbUs1]

From my cockpit looking @ alvins arse!!!!!!

Somebody say my name? I also noticed you cleared your sliders in that lower deep hole!

 

[MaddBaggins]

Great shots Jake!

 

[Rkroelin]

Silly FJC, the 9th (3rd from bottom) shows the tire clearly in the air

Very nice trucks and shots.

 

[TrAiLbUs1]

I was referring to a pic from the three feathers obstacle and a discussion between Shotts and myself here are the before and after pics busta!!!! The reason the FJC has issues w/ the back tire coming up (which you probably know) deals with the T-rex arms and the sway bar on the front, if the sway bar is removed the tire would not come off the ground as much, still can't compare to the articulation from straight axle but it will improve the flex on the front, just waiting for someone to come up with an easy disco!!! but the back flex has been improved greatly w/ the all pro system!


Before (stock vehicle) check the articulation difference

After (allpro 3" lift)

 

[Rkroelin]

Quite an improvement there. I really shouldn't comment too much on tire lifting, the 80 front doesn't flex much in stock form

 

[TrAiLbUs1]

It's all good that's why i love this place people speak the truth!!!!
