Try to get some flattering pic's of Brian and his rig up on the board, he needs all of the help he can get! Can you photoshop one of the pic's to make it look like he actually made it up Greg's Rock?

[Lightnin]

Lol. I will see what I can do to "boost" Billys self-esteem Going to get the camera I left it at my parents.

Here are some picutres from the groups I rode with:

Hey Brad, that first pic in your post is the same spot Gary had to winch over. Did you make it?

[homsley]

[jdbuss]

Yeah he made it without any trouble once he found the line

[CampCook]

Only because I had your rig strapped to the back of mine, pulling it up the trail!

[hivolt]

Brad, I think it's awesome that you can post video of how to do a trail for those less capable. For those of you who have had to winch over that exact same rock, you need to watch that video a couple of dozen times to learn how to do it.

Once again, thank you Brad for passing your experience and expertise onto the lesser-ette's.

[Jeff 24]

EXCELLENT video work! Nothing like a good video to refresh your memory of a great wheelin trip. I'm sure everyone was truly greatful for your work.

[charlied02TJ]

Here are some picutres from the groups I rode with:


3rd time we've been at the same run and I have yet to ride with your group.. something has to be done about that! :lolk:

[Scuba Jeepster]

Lol. I will see what I can do to "boost" Billys self-esteem Going to get the camera I left it at my parents.

Now wait a minute here, I wasn't even at this event.

[homsley]

I'll make sure I look you up next time, I don't know how that happened??

[hydropromax]

I always follow Brad, he knows what he's doing and i have no idea. :shocked:

[Lightnin]

Now wait a minute here, I wasn't even at this event.

Yeah but being on jackstands I thought you needed a pick me up. Seeing pics of a red jeep may make ya feel like you were there.

[Scuba Jeepster]

i have no idea. :shocked:

Thats what Brad was saying last year :thumbsup:

[Scuba Jeepster]

LOL great thought but it's just not the same :cheesy:

[alt_phil]

Was that Wrangler Rocks that Gary had to winch up??? Man, I'd think his rig would roll over that like it was a pebble with those giant tires he has!

I still think he should fill those things up with hydrogen, attach a fan to the rear drive shaft and just zeppelin over the obstacles.

Please, no jokes about Tweeder riding "ballast".

Oops. Too late, sorry Tweeder.

Tell me it isn't so... how could this be possible ?
I'm talking about Those humungous tires not going over rocks, Tweeder ..well he is know for ballast.

[Tweeder]

Friggin' chuckleheads... I was LONG gone by then. For which Billy is grateful, by the way, cause he now owns a "parking brake".

[Dusty]

thanks y'all. it was a good time for sure.

[Lightnin]

You guys talking about Campcook winching Saturday? If so then nope. I don't think we were even on wrangler rocks.

[CampCook]

Some people don't have a life nor have to get up and go to work, so they have to pick on the poor souls who are like glue to our Club, trying to hold everything together! I'm so hurt! Prop's to Brad, his last attempt looked textbook! A good friend would have edited out the other attempts before posting the video, but we have to keep it real. I was so scared of that ledge, I took the bypass and got stuck!

SuperD just took the video for me I am the one who posted it and didn't want to edit it.

Gary's Jeep parked between me and Brian.

I had the same thought, but I wasn't brave enough to be the first to put it out there... :vrolijk_26:


Really, I'm just jealous...

[TheBlackSheep]

Did you see the guy in the red Rubicon? Real nice rig. I think he was an MSJ. On the way out to the recovery, we passed him on the road being towed. He didn't look too happy, and as they passed there was some serious clanking and banging going on from the front end.

[FourFun]

Posting up to say a "Thousand Thanks!" to all who worked to set up the Recovery Clinic and for all those that provided such great information. I learned a TON. Being relatively new to trail riding and having seen only one recovery (which didn't need to be stabilized 'cause the CJ was up against a tree) I wouldn't have thought about stabilizing the rig before extracting the folks. The details about being trapped upside-down and the new CPR methods were also fantastic. As was the information about gathering ALL fire extinguishers, etc. I could go on and on. Bottom line: Thank you all!

I'm going to take a guess and say your talking about the 4 door rubi?


That jeep shouldn't brake a single thing on it right now! It was built to be beat on and then some. Only items it didn't get were 60's front and rear! Haven't heard about him braking anything or not. But I doubt he did.

[Lister]

Hood, both fenders, radiator, core support plus it wss upside down for an hour. Should run again
I was behind him when it happened. Nasty stuff

[CampCook]

SuperD just took the video for me I am the one who posted it and didn't want to edit it.

Honor among wheelers! Now that's commendable!

[Lightnin]

Gary so do I need to edit yours before I upload it lol

[ORI]

what trail is that first video on?

[homsley]

what trail is that first video on?

Wrangler Rocks. It is at the end of Rubicon Ridge. If you were going down Rubicon Ridge you pass Dozer Hill, Vertical Challenge, then you come to a Y, if you go to the left you exit back to the main road, go right and it takes you to Wrangler Rocks. It is very short, in fact the whole trail is in that video.

I wouldn't want to have to change one of those monsters. He'll need a crane, actually, that shoukld be Gary's next mod!:thumbsup:

[CampCook]

Normally I would, but we'll follow Brad's example and post the truth no matter how long it takes!

[Scuba Jeepster]

[SUPERD]

[Tweeder]

[alt_phil]

Sorry, I'll try to make sure you're all purty around the mouth next time. *plays a banjo*

[Lightnin]

Added pics. Converting vids now. hopefully have them up tomorrow.

[Weezul]

Not sure who was spotting for me on Greg's Rocks on that ledge, but it was great wheeling with ya. I never would have tried that line without a little coercing. :headbang:

[Lightnin]

Couple Vids are up. Still waiting on youtube to process Brians

[Lightnin]

One of my favorite quotes from the video.

Andrew "Hey, you ran over your phone"

Brian "Are you serious"

lol Now we have to follow up everything with "Are you serious".

[SUPERD]

That's what I said when Jed said " hey your coil spring is layin on the ground"

[hivolt]

I'm proud that I didn't lose my cool. Besides, I knew I would be allowed to get a 4 (IPhone) since thats the 2nd screen I've broken. Now if I could just get promission from my wife too and not just Gary!!
The phone still works fine, just a broken screen.

[Jordan7118]

Sorry to hear about the modification of your phone, Brian :(

[Lightnin]

I agree ya did good not losing your cool. I don't think I would have been as calm.

[CampCook]

I agree ya did good not losing your cool. I don't think I would have been as calm.

I replaced my screen myself for less than 80$, it's pretty easy

[Lightnin]
