awesome oleg! now i have proof i did hummer hole! yeah last it started freakin jerkin and bucking. i think it was because of the evap canister not being there. pulled over turned it off and restarted it. it was fine.... so i dunno. how much does a evap canister cost.
Hummer hole? Which hole are you referring too?

Upon further inspection this morning I found a cut in my sidewall. I am guessing I partially cut it on the trail then when I slammed the pothole going home it caused the tire to flex, rip the rest of the way and go flat.
But she did look good this morning before she had her bath.

Not to Hi jack this thread, but I do 99% of my wheeling at Rc, and after looking at all these pics, it got me thinking about skid plates for my new RUBI. What skids are all you guys using on yours? I'm leaning towards the Rockhards.

Four things made me laugh yesterday! First was that white TJ with the tube bumpers.... It had Limitless offroad on the side...Should have read Limited Offroad! That thing was on 32's with a 3"body lift! The tube bumpers in the front and rear hung so low it looked like a snowplow trying to go down the trail. anyone get pictures? Second was CodeNet trying to climb up a tree early in the day! Just a note to those for next time, when we tell you to aim for the tree, that is merely a point of reference. Please take the time to try to miss the tree next time! Third was Andy shooting the line at the bowl, I think he thought he was kayaking down a waterfall! The fourth were the idots that almost tried to winch their friend's YJ by wrapping the cable around the rear leaf spring shackle! Uhmm....part of me wanted to just watch and wait for the carnage, but the nice guy in me interrupted the meetings of the minds and pulled him out in two minutes with my strap (kindly refusing to use his rusted old chain with hooks!). Their should be a mandatory class for those buying winches!

I can't wait for the video of me climbing the tree!! haha. I honestly thought that I would slide back into the ruts, that is the only reason I over shot it towards the tree. but it's all good, no harm in busting up a free TJ bumper haha... I'm just glad no one had any real carnage in the river bed, minus 2k2 getting hung up, it was a lucky run if you as ask me. I did however lose another gallon or so in my gas tank due to the skid plate being all concaved now. I filled up on the way home and pump's auto off said it was full, but my gas gage didn't hit the full mark anymore

yeah i don t run skids either, haven t really done any hardcore damage (till yesterday!)
thanks usa i have to go get one tomorrow. i also found that i bent the exhaust pipe bad too and now i have no rear bumper on the driver side or license plate mount because it melted away. oh well that mean i have to make a rear bumper to match the front!
um incase some of you guys don t know there is no chains or straps with hooks allowed at RC. at least blue mountain jeep alliance really freaks about it, i had to cut my hooks off my tow strap.
