more will come next week, another trip out with the NAGCA bay area crew.
it only took a K5 Blazer 9000 lbs winch and a cherokee as an anchore to get be out. a nice lifted yota with duel cases tried and failed. It sucks being the smallest one of the group

it was cool until I spent about 90% of my day trying to get off that damn rock. after that my tranny was all fd up. when I was in 4lo it seemed fine, but in 4hi or 2hi I couldnt move until the rpms got about 1500 than I would finally start moving. and I had to get to like 50 MPH and let off the gas to get it to drop into 3rd it sucked. It was my fualt for listening to a crappy spotter and actually going where they told me. I got the skids just not for the tranny. everyone wanted to pull me forward. ge thats only the xfer case cross member, it was a frustrating day. it almost took out my LCA mount, oil/tranny pan, got a couple of nice nics in my front axle. at this height rocks kinda suck. I was thinking about cRustys tranny skid but I have heard to many fitment issues. mybe some 1/4 in plate connected to the crossmember and the passanger side LCA mount. I just see the little loop over thing he uses as a big hassel when it comes to flexing, and limiting up travel

got the new skid from AW up and on, had to take it down to clearance it for the xfer case. well It was sort of jammed up and as I went to yank it down( FYI 70 lbs skid plate stuck in the air, dont pull it down. it will slice that finger right open, and will hurt like hell) well my finger went between the skid and the floor jack and open it right up. no brake, but it has to be one of the worste pains I have ever had. worse that waking up from surgery with eight 2 inch long steel pins in 8 toes. this put that to shame.

Yea I knew that thing was going to be heavy.
05-08-2006, 07:00 PM
thing is Im not sure if I should goto the DR. and see if its broken, or have him stich it up. cause it wont stop bleeding. and their is some flesh sticken out. kind of a white puffy lookin stuff, nut puss but the kinda meat that is supossed to be on the inside of the skin.
05-08-2006, 07:02 PM
Okay I think that is enough information now.
Thanks.
05-08-2006, 07:15 PM
want more pics?
05-08-2006, 07:16 PM
think I will pass on more pix.
05-09-2006, 11:45 AM
more pics of my fucked up finger, post dr visit
05-09-2006, 01:36 PM
For something minor like that, I wouldn't have gone to the hospital. I about cut my finger off with an ax splitting kindling once. My Dad said I was a pussy, so I wrapped it up with paper towels and duct tape and kept on splitting wood. Finger still works fine.
When I smashed my foot, it was worthless to go to the hospital. I did just because of work. Dr. told me it was broke... nothing they could do about it. Waste of time.
05-09-2006, 02:26 PM
I plit it open around 11, it didnt stop bleeding until 945 when they put that crap on it. I wasnt going to go, that whole living at home thing, yeah...
05-13-2006, 08:41 PM
couple of new flex pics from today. I had maxed out the front brake lines, dont know if it would drop more but their was alot of tension on that line. Oh yeah AW, that skid is fkn awsome. came down on it hard many a times and nothing. In those flex pics thats whats holding the jeep up. I backed up and their was a big ass flat spot where it was, I must say its pure beef

Good deal Garrett.
05-13-2006, 11:44 PM
I wish I could have joined you but I had work. Maybe we can organize another trip in a couple weeks. After I get new shocks and brake lines. BTW nice flex, how was the terrain, was it all washed out, and did they get rid of the rock ledges in the rock quarry.
05-14-2006, 10:07 AM
It's nice to see someone wheeling what they've got when it's not huge.
05-14-2006, 01:06 PM
yeah, my buddy got RE's XJ LA on his, so he was kinda excited to get out. but I think me kevin, and my buddy are going again in 2 weeks. but it wasnt to bad, really dusty but they did some work on the quary so it was a little different. remember where that TJ went up last time. I almost got all the way up but the dirt was just to thin. I was just diggin myself in. but it was a fun day. really bad sun burn in the wife beater tan line. Also does anyone know a good way to get me flex in the front brake line. thats what was holding up that front tire, and Im not to comfortable with that. just looking for suggestions
