    Default New Year's Day - Bunce School Road



    Pinched brake line on my JK so I'm the first one back. Was able to work around it on the trail and make it home. No pics of the trail. Will post in the "Carnage" forum later.

    Sorry to hear that Charles. Hope it's not too tough to replace. We finally made it up and around the Ironclads loop. Took a LOT of effort.

    And lots of skinny pedal. In some cases, too much...

    Huge turnout for this run, 13 vehicles in all, really too big a group for this trail, us guys at the back sat around for a couple hours listening to the others slowly making it up the hill. Clint and I finally bailed to at least go run the school road. There wasn't a whole lot of snow, but we hit a couple spots. Got to the first gate and it was closed so we headed back and went up ironclads to see how things were going. The group was just meeting up after making the loop.
    Here's a few photos...

    Thanks for coming out everybody!

    Short run but I was really glad to validate my recovery stuff (finally got to use my winch) and my compressor setup.

    Also a cool way to kick off the new year.

    Thanks to Rob for backing me down the hill and keeping me out of trouble

    Yeah, I was glad I put a winch on Li'l Blue. Came in very handy today.

    Sounds like you guys had fun. Sorry I missed it, but family comes first. Besides, I need some new tires for the old girl and I think until I have those on, it is a pavement princess.

    Fun day. I came close to flopping the 40 only once. Sorry to all those in the back who waited while those in the front wrassled with the ledge on the loop.

    Only got a few pics today.

    Oh, I know. I just don't have the guts to do what you do, and my rig isn't NEAR as beefy as yours. I was impressed with yours today. You made it look easy!
