Wheeling, and of course getting stuck..

A few pics from the last two trips i ran. I will have pics of the recovery/stuckness/hole in the ground when in the next few days.

Water crossing



little mudpit, where there are some natural springs to keep it nice and gooey (a bit to gooey i found out today)


After


Some of the toys we played with during the non wheeling times.

Nice Report..

I like seeing these Raptors get dirty!!
BTW...Nice' Rig!!

Just wait till i get the picks from today, thankfully no damage done today beyond some underside mud/scraping. I will be needing a new front bumper as you can see in that last pic.. damn hidden tree stump on the side of a hill while doing a three point turn on a jeep trail...

Happens...look around for a used skid plate or call up one of the Vendors for a new front... sometimes if you get both the front and the back bumpers...they will give you a deal...

The AR and Ruger look awesome!!
Is that the Ruger Mk I II or III?
What are the specs/upgrades on the Ruger??



How I wish for suppressed firearms laws to be fair to Us here in CA!!

it was a mk2 if im not mistaken, new upper, new lower, new trigger group, and an AAC can.

thing was BEAST! i forget all the specs of the upper/lower but i can get them from my buddy if you are that curious.

Yeah im just gonna get a new bumper, just need to sort out which one. The ADD guys have some nice stuff im just worried about how far it sticks out since i plan on smashing into things with it (hence why i need a new one now).

Did you see FRF member e63 build thread regarding his RPG prototype front and rear bumpers along with their rock sliders??

Seen them in person (a week and half before I received my Venom) at the Raptor Expeditions this past July..they meet all my requirements...Looks great but if someone did not know...they are actually built specifically with a purpose....clearance!!

Dirt, is that an A.R.E. CX Series Camper Shell? If so, what options did you get?

Ya...I got say...the SCREW's look great with the Camper shell
was not a fan of the SCABs with them....Great for Camping....hence Camper shell....haa

Leer shell

Should have gotten a damn ARE, i think they can actually hold some weight on top of them.

yeah i have been talking to those guys, my perfect setup would be a bit different then most. Mainly due to me being on the east coast, and my end goal of doing some proper long haul expedition style travel in this beast at some point. (think aussie style bush bumpers, roof racks, etc).

That may require a two phase build tho, first things first more pictures.

A pic from today, fun little sloppy dip after rolling up a small incline.

And now for some of the stuck photos..

TOTALLY did this to my damn self, didnt have enough steering going on when i hit reverse so i dug the trench abit with the rears in 2wd, then put the fronts right in that trench.





Here is where the front was stuck.


Getting the bubba ready for some good ole tugging. (we winched it out, and the rear got stuck)
