Lord have mercy...was just voted Santa's 'sled' in Sayville's Christmas Parade this Saturday. Top down, Santa standing on my toolbox holding onto my rollbar. This will get interesting...

I'm not a water/mud guy, so I won't follow you there. But I do harder on the rocks...





Lots of skinny and bumping. Those are on 33s, you should see me on 35s now

That was my first, almost, end-over flop. Had to tie the winch in once I landed on the skid up top.

Still a baby JK at Rausch, 2nd time to Rausch with the JK. No winch, 33s, rock rails, that's it.

When I got comfortable with the JK on uphill throttling.

Seth, 2:02 is a small testament to Shrockworks rock rails.

Very Surprised to find out Lowes had grade 8 hardware. Unfortunately they didn't have enough bolts, any nuts or washers. I'm determined to get these rails on and since I have the choice I'll go to an industrial supply tomorrow for the hardware.

Dude, you try the hardware store on Union? I always had good luck there. And honestly rails shouldn't be that important on this trip. There are 2 areas I can think of off te top of my head yu will wanna bypass. You and Brendan both lol.. Brendan, thanks for your nuts, you made my night.

Also.. And yes I'm drinking. How important you think it is to have grade 8 hardware??? I highly doubt the hardware holding on my rails are grade 8 (enhanced Rubi rails) and so far so good.

Not sure but I don't mind overkill. Grade 5 might be sufficient but grade 8 costs pennies more.
