Holy Cross City

Spent yesterday with the Rising Sun and CLC crew. We had about 10 rigs in total. We got some rain and hail and a little sunshine. For sure got my money's worth out of the recently installed Slee belly pan. Slee sliders have already paid for themselves many times over. I'm constantly amazed at the pounding this stuff will take. Got throught the 1st part of Frenchman's creek but had to pull cable once past what used to be the hardest part. I was not the only rig that had to winch. Otherwise a reasonable trail for a mildly built 100

Is anyone else missing attachments this morning? I'm very jealous that you made it up there. In June we couldn't even get to Frenchman's Creek. We weren't even close there was so much snow.

 

[davegonz]

Yep, no attachments visible.

 

[farinvail]

Don't know what's up with the pics. I'll try later.

I can see em. Looks really fun, I've had to stick to my MTB for offroading lately.

 

[Travis351]

Looks like fun...thanks for sharing!

 

[LandCruisers4Life]

Great pics, and the 80 guys say the 100 can't wheel....

 

[farinvail]

Almost made it.
Pulling cable.
Parting shot.

Looks like the 100's are starting to show people they mean bussiness.

Looks good, wish I lived in that part of the country. Really baddass.


Got any more pics?

 

[farinvail]

sure 'cause you asked.

Wild Rice.
Frenchman's creek.
40 on 36's making less progress than I did.

A mildly built 100 must make a pretty good winch anchor too.

If I get stuck in a mud pit, can I hook my 100 up to my friend's 100 and get out with no problems using the winch?

 

[farinvail]

Yes, Yes it does

 

[farinvail]

It's not that simple but for the most part yes. Keep anchor front wheels straight. Chock tires. In Park, foot on brakes. You'll need a snatch block too if the muds deep. I stay away from the mud. Winching over rocks is my preference.

 

[ginericLC]

I didn't think you were supposed to put it in park when winching as it takes out the park in the tranny if your foot slips off the brake?

You are a better 100 wheeler than me, or at least you are a lot braver. I wouldn't have done Frenchman's Creek. I dented my door in my 80 there. This truck cost me a lot more money than it and I couldn't handle dealing with my wife after denting it. Every time I see those stickers that say, "Chicks dig body damage" I laugh because wives do not. I pulled cable in about the same spot you did in my 80 but I was going down hill and slipped into that big rock at your taillight in picture 3. I had to tug myself a little sideways so I didn't take out the whole side of the truck. That is a tough obstacle in a big wagon.

I'm probably lying to myself. If I would have been there in my 100 I probably would have went for it.

So where are the pictures of Cleveland Rock?

Farnham is nuts behind the wheel of his 100, I've had to follow him!

x2 it is great to be able to follow someone with his confidence and experience.

Farnham is slow and picks his line well. The winch line was pulled because he didnt want to beat on his truck. I think he could have made the creek crossing without it.
