Get down on your side and touch the ground!!!



But please don't roll!

PS bent my rear driver axle here as I slid off one big rock and down onto another.

Thought I was gonna roll, altho I was a little deep in that Waterfall to actually flip.

And no body damage. My sliders took the whack! Got lucky again.

Got R and L Superior Chromo's 32 splines and some other stuff (diff fluid and oil change, retune and retorque, rotate, reflash, and a couple other things I'm forgetting) done at Screamin Lizard,...

About 1K, give or take, and I have NEVER felt like I paid too much at their shop. They do it right!

But I do like wheeling that little bitch! It works!

Wow! Great picture. Glad you came out without much damage.......except the axle. Looks like you should have had a lot of "battle scars".

Great spotting, not my driving, got me outta this mess without the need for any tug and no body damage. You can't see Jack $h1t in that position. I did rag out my fender flare a bit but not too bad. And they're no big deal.

That's Gerry checking out where to go from there. That's a tough obstacle, but it was fun.

No Way Back. No Way.

Rocked a little passenger back and ultimately driver forward. But eventually, I had to go forward.

The pics don't show you all the terrain and angles/elevations. I felt swallowed by that hole. I was fortunate to get out without any body damage, and only a bent axle.

Adam and Gerry were checking close on my wheels. Watching them bind or grip as needed. I swear , this was one of those places where my gut instinct was "Pull my ass out so I don't bust something".

Then my guys checked it out, and said a little here, a little there,...

And they were right.

All week, I only had one pull, on Pritchett Canyon, the hardest rated trail run this year.

The JK is an amazing Jeep! I promise, we convinced a lot people of this at EJS.

That's when you call in the helicopter to get you out.
