    Default Mt. Herman 1/3/16



    Had a great run today with great people. Louis, Kurtis, Adam, Brian and I played around on Mt. Herman and then went onto Balanced Rock where we found deeper snow and saved three idiots from freezing to death.

    Idiot #1...winched him out at least three times while he bitched and moaned about how getting stuck was everyone elses fault, including us who were helping him. He's lucky we all have a conscience even when our patience was worn then....Idiot #2 is in his passenger seat. Not only was she wearing dress shoes, she chose to be in the same jeep as this *******.
    [IMG][/IMG]

    Idiot #3...seemed like a nice guy, just needs to learn that a stock vehicle with bald tires has no place on a snow covered trail. Louis ended up towing him to the top.

    Other than that, it was a fun day!!

    MAKES SENSE!!!

    It was a problem for me - continual rubbing, hole, unbearable exhaust racket. Yours might not be a persistent issue as mine was (axle shifting right/left pushing front DS into exhaust) though if it is, do the "TJ exhaust re-route".

    Mt Herman rd is dry at the first mile or so and than turns icy. It is definitely doable with care. Take a look at the previous post , there are some videos going up.
