This trip was an "out of the blue" run that we setup in about 2 hours. That became evident when I forgot to re-install my front drive shaft (bummer). So I was cruising around in two-wheel drive here. I did get stuck twice in the mud by the beach when taking out pictures together.
Those cool, super strong motor-mounts I made a couple weeks back bent a little while jumping it on picture 4. I'm going to make another set out of ¼" steel instead of 1/8". My rear bumper also came up and kissed my tailgate while dropping off a bank. I still need to reposition it so I can open up my tailgate all the way.Honorable Mention- My friend in the white jeep jumped it on the same jump I did, but going about twice the speed. It was amazing, just like the monster trucks on TV. All the stuff flew out of the back of it and most of it went back in when he landed. Unfortunately, the rear track bar mount loosened up and sounds like a trash can rolling down the street. We have yet to resolve this problem.
Also, we have a new member; the gray jeep. Nicknamed "The Low Rider", it is completely stock except for the 30x9.50x15s.It is owned by the bother of the white jeep, and will soon build it up better then his.
Un-honorable Mention- The Chevy. When we arrived he said he was stuck for 2 ½ hours and was about to hike back for help.Sense I only had 2wd, the jeep as the most capable to pull him out.We hooked the 50' snatch strap through the hitch receiver on the Chevy and to the bumper and shackle mount on the jeep.We tried several time trying to get him out and even gave it a 5ft running start but it didn?t work.Then we were going to hook up the gray jeep along with the white one but the gray jeep doesn't have any place to tow from.So we used the 5.0 runner and with both trucks given a 5ft running start, we were able to pull the boat out of the sticky mud.
