Once again I'm out for this weekend. We should have had our daughter over the winter. She's really cutting into my summer activities. Lol. actually I am having my steering wheel and stabilizer replaced. They told me at the dealer that the parts should be in by the end of the week. Which translates to them keeping it over the holiday. I hope they call me soon. Then I might be able to save the weekend

I am in Madison County. As far as Lvingston goes, I took these pix yesterday. Awesome flex from my Rock Krawler lift. You could move the spring by hand...

The Thomas D. Clark Center for Kentucky History is running an exhibit called "Kentucky Military Treasures" in Frankfort. On display is a Ford GP (1 of 1,500 built in 1941). Approximately 1/6 of the WWII Jeeps (93,391) were built in Louisville.

Yep- Here are my shots from yesterday in Laurel County. Who else has some pix?

It's time to put down the remote and go Wheelin' boys! Who is up for this week/weekend?

I found out the hard way that my Smittybilt hitch is killing my departure angle. I was aired down to 12 psi so that may have contributed, but I left more than a few scrapes from that damn thing. I haven't towed once with this particular Jeep so I may be cutting that thing off in the near future.

Anywhoo, plenty of bedrock climbin':



Breakover angle was cuttin' it close on some of the stair steps...

The center (fresh) scrape is from my hitch:

Great exposure on this one. The whole way down you have to ride the passenger side wall.


BTW Rubious- I was down in Williamsburg this weekend. DO you know of a trail called "Wurser"? As in, "boys, it just gets wurser and wurser from here."
