    Default Chris-Land Cruiser



    Hey all. Thanks for letting me in. I happened to run into a few of your guys while out wheeling.

    http://www.frontrange4x4.com/forums/...581#post272581


    Yes. That is me. The truck was sliding to the driver side more then it was going back. Being by myself, except for my 6 year old daughter, I felt it was time to quit while I was ahead.

    So this week I have spent some money on recovery gear. Winch, straps, come along, tree saver, chain, snatch block, all of which will now reside in the truck full time.

    Here is the rig as she sits now.





    Here she is when I started sliding Saturday.



    And here she is when I said that was enough drifting. I had made it about 6 more inches back down the trail and about 2 ft down the side of the hill.


    Might have made it the rest of the way out on my own. Wasn't worth the risk with my kid.

    Recovery gear is a must. I got stuck last year in a snow drift with my then 5 year old in the middle of no where outside of Alma. If it was not for my winch, I would have been screwed big time. I saved up and got a full on TJM recovery kit.

    Welcome! I see you have a Tepui RTT. If you are into overlanding as well as wheeling there are a few of us in the great divide chapter of northwest overland. This here is the best 4 wheeling group in Colorado! I am a proud member of both!

    I am also a member of expo forum and have a build thread there on my cruiser. Which is why I bought it, for exploration more then rock crawling.
