Thats why Im gonna get attach an axe to my truck.
 
If my rig was banged up and that happened, I'd still drop a rock on him.
unacceptable.

My rig isn't banged up, and if that happened, I'd have a new project parting out a buggy right now that's in my driveway. if you get my drift.

let that be a lesson. If they want to play "outlaw" let's play flippin OUTLAW!
 
Unless the owner of that cherokee was the most devout pacifist ever, I can't see how there was not a scuffle, an old fashioned throwdown, or some sort of altercation.
 
I hate to say it, but this is one of those reasons why I avoid popular trails like the plague. There's nothing like sitting in a traffic jam in a slot canyon with a bunch of adrenaline-pumped, beer-drunk yahoos. I tend to like my yahoos in small groups, in the middle of nowhere, with plenty of room between us.
 
The owner of the blue xj is a personal friend of mine. He's a real easy going guy and wouldn't speak up about much. Someone probably said to him "you shouldn't say anything or else they might do something more to your rig".. i dont know... but i do know he said "wtf man you hit my door"!

He has posted on the thread about it and i know he wasn't happy.

The guys that hit him were also drinking too... so maybe he figured best not to escalate the situation? i dont know.

No Offense, But, your friends lack of sticking up for himself is the exact reasons these morons continue to do this, because people let them get away with it!





For those of you that do know me and have met me, you know what my reaction would be!

:D
 
That kind of stuff is bull$h!t and a prime example of why I like this group so much. But if they had hit my rig, UH UH! There would be consequenses.
 
citizen's arrest? hit and run?
 
I ran the Rubicon with a few guys and had something similar happen. I was in my FJ40 and my buddies were in thier new built TJ's. We just spend three days on the trail camping and having fun.

We were going up Cadillac hill right below the waterfall area, just before you make the turn. We were not stuck or anything, just waiting on the group ahead of us. Once they cleared the rock we started to go up. Some a-hole in about a 76 chevy fullsize pick up and his buddy in a thrashed cherokee rig came down hill and passed the people waiting on us to come up.

They were drunk and had thier radios cranked. The guy in the full size had already bent his steering linkage to the point he could not moved the wheels to the right. He also was using his e-brake since he tore his brake lines. The guy in the cherokee was leaking every kind of fluid everywhere.

There were 18 or so rigs behind us so backing down was really not an optioin. Those of you who are familar with the rubicon know the spot I'm talking about.

I radio'ed that we needed some help with these drunk guys. Some guys from the top of the hill in front of us as well as the bottom of the hill behind us came running to help us. The guys on the top of the hill already experienced them.

First we took both operators keys. We then had to winch the TJ's up off the trail at a 90 degree angle from the trail. We then straightened his steering out as good as we could. Some guys jumped in the chevy and the cherokee and we made it to the bottom of the hill around averybody who was waiting. We had to use highlifts to keep turning the front wheels to stay on the trail. It took about two hours but no body damage to any vehicle.

The owners/operators of the rigs were screaming and yelling at us the whole time. Once at the bottom of the hill we gave the owners back thier keys. I was on the highlift jack so I did not see what happened. I do now that when they walked to the bottom of the hill they were very quit. Either some one got tired of thier mouths and pounded the crap out of them or the fell down the hill a few times.

They very politely thanked everybody for assistance.

I don't know who those other wheelers were that helped out but I am very grateful to them.[/B]

One of my buddys was so scared after this incident he sold his rig and swore to never go 4wheeling again.

Good to hear about responsible handling of a tough situation. Sorry your friend got scared away. Perhaps if he went with a resposible group he might change his mind.


Oh, dig the beagle stink eye. :D

He could not say enough about the total strangers who helped out. They were truely good samaritans. I keep reminding him that 99.9% of the 4x4 comunity are good people.

He went to Red Rock Canyon State Park near Mojave with his wife over thanksgiving holiday weekend. He said he ran into a similar group of guys who were drunk and being A-Holes. They were at Bickle Camp kicking up dust clouds while doing dounuts when most people were trying to eat lunch. He would not give anymore details.

He just sold his rig and now drives a prius.

Gee, I wonder why all of our wheeling areas are being shut down? It never ceases to amaze me how much damage one group of A-holes can do to our sport. Give and inch and the extremist environmentalists will figure out how to turn it into 100k square miles of closed nature for us all to save and enjoy as long as you can walk at leas 50k miles to see it. :rolleyes: :mad:
 
I am usually mello but these guys really get me going.
I agree with several here that we should stop these guys when we see this going on because it gives us all a bad name. The advantage to going as a larger group is the meatheads usually dont want to mess with a larger group of wheelers and will back down and do what it right but I also have no problem with people accidently falling down after they have had their attitude adjusted.

X2.

I wouldv'e made my point very clear to him, even if I was 3 rigs back.

those guys are reading these posts and getting a chuckle about it, until the next time it happens....believe me.

now they are marked. If the community comes together ove rthis, they will have no other choice but to man up and fix the door.
