    Default T33a, Bunce and Ironclads



    Great time today, thank you to everyone who came out. Just a couple of pics, I'll try to post some video soon. T33a was a LOT different than the last time I ran it, it's a lot more difficult but a lot of fun. The biggest obstacle- a dozen or so rental ATVs. I have nothing positive to say about that, so moving on... Shane's Range Rover exceeded expectations. It was really interesting to watch a fully independent suspension crawl, the center clearance is a big advantage. Bunce seemed rougher than the last time I was on it, probably just snowmelt moving dirt around. Ironclads was great- I've only run it counterclockwise, the signage sort of leads you that way, but Max took us clockwise, starting up the big hill, and I think it's better that way. Another great run, thanks again to everyone.

    I did another ride along. (Still working out my suspension). I had a great time riding with Trent, Greg and Mark. I'm definitely going to return to run these trails again, but I think when I do it will be a mid week run. I can't imagine doing it on a weekend. In fact this year will probably be on of those years that every trail will be a bottle neck. Because of the high country trails being a mess for a good part of the season.

    I'll see what I have in the way of photos a post them when I get the chance. Great times guys thankyou all!

    Glad to see the rocks I stacked up on the right side of the shelf on Thursday helped a couple rigs out! Looks like a fun trip. Hopefully I can join in on one soon.

    It's best to remove rocks once you get through. Keeps the trail from becoming "paved" and easier than it should be.

    Thanks for organizing the run Paul. T33 was a more challenging trail than I expected, and was enjoyable.

    You motivated me to install my compressor under the hood today. Copied your general setup, and we'll see how long the compressor survives in the engine bay.

    Good to know! Coming from Florida where it's all mud and sand I'm still learning some trail etiquette when it comes to real trails.

    That was a great time, most fun I've had in that rig so far. That trail definitely has some replay value for me, I want to go back and see if I can clear that ledge some day. Sure was impressive watching all of those Jeep's walk right up it.

    Shane, I was equally impressed with your rig and driving skills. Was a fun day for sure!

    I hope it works out for you, I like mine. I can't take credit for the setup idea, everything for a TJ / LJ has been done before and posted in detail. Just one of the great things about owning a Jeep!

    You were skidplates away from doing it, there's just no sense destroying a gear case getting over a ledge you don't absolutely have to get over. Thanks for bringing the Rover, it's cool to see stuff other than Jeeps out there.
