Sept 17 Desert run

Looks and sounds like I got saved by the bell on this one by having a family emergency early saturday morning. Maybe it was a blessing in disguise since it now seems that this trail would have definitely attempted to kill my 2wd lol But hey, there is no adventure without the element of surprise.

My guess is that we would have turned around if you were with us. I believe Miah would have made a lot more of the hill climbs if he didn't blow out his 285 and was still aired down, but he's also locked in the rear too. Pretty sure you would have had some issues with an open diff.
 
Some pics that I took from my iPad

[MENTION=128841]Spenny[/MENTION] lighting up the last hill descent into the wash. He had just dropped into the first couple feet of this Shute which was completely vertical when first dropping in ..when I shouted over the radio stop! He's like what!? I said that looks *****in let me get a photo so hold on ...he's like oh sure just let me stop right, why not this is a good spot, no worries take your time...sarcastically of course...we all chuckled.
And well I ended up hitting video instead of photo on my iPad and this is what I got ...all the other video is from GoPro which I still haven't watched

I don't think I've ever been so crusty after a day trip then from this one! Definitely a bad ass trip for sure and with great company.

Also I threw the pair of underwear I was wearing away once I got home at 1245 am after all my close calls and puckering moments from the trail - and posing for shots for Miah! :D

Miah to the rescue. Also note this was the second time [MENTION=128841]Spenny[/MENTION] was on 3 wheels within 15 mins. I didn't get pics of [MENTION=134758]SoSoRunner[/MENTION] pulling him off the other hill before we decided on this route.

Apparently after Miah went I hit something on my camera and missed focus on half the waterfall pics. Or I just need to practice panning so I didn't get Sang and [MENTION=128841]Spenny[/MENTION] very well in focus on the steps.

Think this was right before Miah's wheel fell off.

[MENTION=123332]Drunner97[/MENTION] Dope ass shots brotha...you can go ahead and high resi up a couple of mine throwin up dirt and creepin up onto the waterfall...
 
My other friends call me tripod, but thats not from 4Wheeling :cool:
Wish I would have grabbed the camera on the previous 3 wheel but Miah and I were busy discussing our options and waiting to see if you were going to roll off that hill top, hahah.

Not pictured completely smashed and folded rear license plate and frame
I already had hammered it out and is back to new cant even tell ...

All of my oem studs holding my tire on are all completely blowin out like m spacer studs. What's holding my tire on is red lock tight and cross threaded muscled down tight which will all have to be replaced.
Along with yet another new set of rear tires ...FML I should have stock in America tires..

Oh yeah and another cut through ABS sensor wire with dash light on solid ...have to repair that one tomorrow as well.
