post your junk, noobs :)
my name is bob, ive been here at A&M for two years now and i just got the jeep before last summer. i worked all summer so i couldn't do any upgrading. as it stands my jeep is stock, except for the bedliner i put in myself, the freight train horn, and some KC lights on a lightbar i welded up myself after i crushed that dinky stock bumper on the trail. last year i went out with a buddy who has a yj with a broken 4wd. it proved to be interesting, since we were both new to wheeling. a home depot come along has saved us more than anything else, so my first addition will be a winch and then a lot of underside protection.
heres the first wheeling trip story.
Started off just getting muddy and seeing what our vehicles were capable of. Mike's yj has a broken 4wd and bald ass tires. it was a great combination. i pulled him out many times.
considering that my jeep has 30in bfg a/t's that are practically bald too, i was very surprised with what that thing could accomplish. this next picture is a lake along one of the trails we found. it went up to my headlights. i was very surprised that i got out of there, but i never got hung up and neither did mike.

however, like any good thing there has to be a ****ty end. around 8pm we decided to get off the trail and head back. mainly because we had finals the next day. :gigem:

thats when we both got stuck. Really stuck. i high centered cause i tried to turn out of some really deep ruts. bad idea. then mikes engine died. we stayed till 11pm trying to get out, calling people we knew. no one could make it down the trail. 2 ford 250's and 1 z71, none succeeded. so we came back the next day after our finals with a come along and got me out so i could tow mike the rest of the way out. thank god my roomate has 68 mustang and does a lot of carb work, or else mikes jeep would have stayed there a long ass time.

getting up to 30mph i towed mike out while he attempted to drive in reverse. that was a hell of a thing.

Here's my little dingy... Next thing it gets is this winch sitting right next to me on the floor and then a roll cage.
