    Default Chinaman Gulch 4-20-13



    Awesome day in Buena Vista, ran with a couple of King Of Hammer buggies, it was a nice touch!
    most of the pics are right here in the video..



    We ran Chinaman Gulch, then messes around on Carnage, always fun to go back, especially since i no longer care about dings..

    the other grand cherokee got some body damage on the front driver side door, an XJ also killed it's door and got my fairlead through his hatch.. WHOOPS!

    Overall, fantastic day, no snow and mostly sunny. We BBQd on the trail around stairs while others were messing around on them. My biggest breakdown of the day was ripping out my breather hose from the rear axle, i guess it will get better soon..

    The one thing that really did upset me, is that someone has shot the tailgate of my truck.. I took my truck out of a body shop for new paint the day before.. so it was really really upset.. I saw kids run around with airsoft rifles.. have no proof.. can't do anything about it =(

    here are some more pics

    Sweet Matt! I need to do a few things: make my YJ like the guy's red one w/blue flames to plow with and part time wheel, turn my mother in laws Jeep into one like yours Matt, and get my a$$ to those trails at some point!

    Not that it would have kept me from going if I had my sliders done, but my rig doesn't seem to be on the same level as those bad boys. But my little yota would probably be able to hold its own up there.

    Chinamans is a really fun trail, just a little far away. You Toy would be fine but I would recommend some rocker protection!

    You could have made it, there are optional obstacles that make it harder/easier. I would recomend the sliders first. That said the first 6 or so times I ran it I did not have sliders...

    Agreed! Rockers are a must. The smaller guys did get little body damage at the chutes but if you are taking your time you can do it just fine
