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.

Does anyone have pics of Soso being Spencer's anchor to keep him from going off the edge of that trails ...strapped up together and Soso reversing back onto the the trail to keep tension on his rig?


I think me and Drunner were discussing our options and watching and waiting to see if you were gonna go over on that one too....hahaha

And for all you carnage junkies ..here's what I was left with after said and done..

The hell did that shotgun size hit in your bumper come from? I know on that one downhill spot after I got stuck you hit the hitch gate, but that's a crazy hit. No damage to the pumpkin from the waterfall when I pulled you off?

I still have video to go through so I MIGHT have video showing the So So save. I can't remember if I turned the camera back on or not. We were definitely discussing our options at that point and I seem to remember us both going **** that, let's see where this other downhill takes us.

Yep. I have the entire thing traced. forward, backward, in, out, turn around, and and out, hahah. Let me see if I can pull it.

As usual, the pictures never really tell you how steep anything is, but when I thought I was going to roll to my death - I grabbed my phone to see if I could call my mom and say goodbye. Didn't have service so I took two pictures instead!hwell:

Looking down

After we got Drunner unstuck, to then unstick Miah :lmao: but it's a picture of my rig, casue it looks all majestic in it's natural environment.

Night shot, with that awesome harvest moon.

That moon was pissing me off. Did you guys see the party with the bonfire? I was slightly tempted to stop and ask for a beer, but I just got done mowing over half an acre of desert scaring wild life. With the "private property" posts in mind I decided to keep on going because every single person *I* could see literally turned and stared at me as I drove past.

I don't know how to post the overlay but you can see here what I mapped
Red canyon jeep trail we drove in on in is the red line then entering the canyon red to green then to pink to m warning sign which is the first hill in the dead end the gate keeper lol then follow that to the orange to the green going right out to the red. The other green going to the left was the other exit through the valley of the Orocopia wilderness area back out to red canyon jeep trail. That's when I had asked drunner97 what is it that makes you choose going right land not left ...simply cause the exit is closer this way ...cool lets roll. Lol

Yeah the right track led to the spine. Not sure if that was the easier route but it was the fastest. I tried to transmit to you guys when I hit the top to warn about the gate but obviously it didn't go through. Funny thing was when I was cleaning out the runner back at the condo, the radio lit up for a moment and I heard spencer. That's when I shot you guys the text to make sure you got out. If I didn't get an answer I was calling the rangers to send a search party.

Yeah we came across the desert party too...
Yeah either way was the correct way that's why I asked what makes you choose right just to see what you were basing your decision on which was the faster way. That's why when I also told Soso when he had 3 options of which way to go to choose one he thought would be best there was no wrong answer cause they ended to the same route ....once again there is always a way out.

Yeah I figured out why my map would go in and out on loading. Once I get done making my maps I download them them for offline use and never have an issue so I was stumped as to why it was struggling, well that morning at loves while pumping gas I tethered my cell phone wifi to my iPad which was running my offline maps.....mmmmm understanding what I'm saying already?
Well since there is no cell service out there and my iPad was tethered to my phone running wifi ...how was my offline mapping suppose to work properly when it's linked to a struggling wifi connection that it has no need for it to work properly offline ..so it was trying to run as online map I read of offline map .that's why it would go in and out constantly and not locate my position on the map....stupid on my part and have no idea why I thought that would be a smart idea when. I never needed or did that before ...lol dumb dumb

Dope pics Danny! Spence's pictures the links are dead now maybe because he logged out or something?

I gave Big Bertha a bath yesterday, man was she filthy haha! Lots of scratches on the lower parts of the rear bumper but no holes...which is weird because I had the least ground clearance of all of us?!?!?!

 

[Drunner97]

Should be getting my wheel fender trim piece today so I'll be giving the runner a good bath and polish before putting the brand new piece on. Then I need to address the hole in my bumper. Thinking fiberglass repair kit and bed liner should suffice for now. Time to start thinking about what color I'm gonna bed line the whole rig. The bumper is gonna be the test piece me thinks.

Use the hole for a new mod of some sorts..you said you wanted to add ambers so shove a light pod in it ...boom! Custom rear bumper lights
