No name trail wins

A few of us went out to have a look-see at a 'trail' down at the river today.
Only one of us was (is brave the right word?) enough to put rubber to rock.

After going about 15 yds in, a lil situation arose. How'd ya like to loose steering right in the middle of a 'tight spot'?

After some rock moving & some dis'cussing, the rig was slowly backed off the trail.

All pics can be seen here

cOME OUT AND PLAY

Uh-huh, Show us how it's done?!?..................
I have now figured out why no one does the kind of hydro assit that I did.
It pops the cap. literaly, my cap on the end of my steering box cracked.
But,,,,,
This is a trail that we need a good 20 people to volunteer to show up, and help get an exit built. Right now, you can get into it, but getting out the top????
NO, not kidding, there isn't an exit. as far as we could see.
Winch out? Maybe, crane out more likely!
Even the comp buggie from Lubbock won't get out of 25' walls.
BUt we'd be happy to watch him try!!!!!!

Damn, I got to get fixed and go again, anybody got a spare orbital valve????

I'll rent the compressor, and a couple of jack hammers, we need bodies to help finish what was started. And.....
A well thought out plan of how many exits to create.
As well as side shoots off of the main entrance, that will also need some "extra boulders".
I broke, and I still have a great big big grin on finally finding, or being shown some decent hardcore stuff at the "river".
Before the q & a starts, we drove all the way out there, and I figured we at least need to put "A tire on it".
Thanks Evan, peer presure, geez, you could of hit me!!
LOL

So, when do ya plan to try and pull this off? I can up your numbers, just maybe not the effective amount of labor...

Right now work is picking up, and It's way to cold.
Butt,,,,
With a well thought out plan, and conferring with everyone that really wants to build some hardcore crawlin trails, I think we are prolly looking at some scouting trips During the colder months and then maybe attacking it in spring.
This needs to be coordinated with Ballsac, Rockchip and whoever else is willing to put in some hardcore work.
Might have to talk to the park service about some of the "Massaging" that needs to be done.
Sorry, didn't mean to rob your thread Evan.

nice rock pile.smokin

so you had one of those box-cap hydro setups, that goes on the end of the box, huh? i have seen em for sale, but never seen one used. got pics of it broke?
I'll get a couple of pic's. It split about an 1/8 from the weld on the 1" x 1" tab that I had welded on. To much pressure. the pic's show the bind the front was in. I am either going full hydro or tapping the box on the vien returns.

Ah, yes...I know of zis trail...'chip was kind enough to reveal it's location to me...the ol "pornstar" had TWO of her tires on them thar boulders not too long ago....alas, I will admit that she'd most likely need some assistance from "the string" to go much further up....yes,yes...I can hear the guffawing even now from the naysayers...I guess my little IHC minx will have to make an attempt VERY SOON......Ya know what they say..naughty girls like to be spanked......Hey, "chip, would ya care to spot the nasty gal?!?!?!?!?
