Are those all seasons?
I suppose Lavant is a real trail on street tires. Get a locker and some real rubber and Lavant will be tame. :)

That pond crossibg can be pretty tricky, it got mre hung up on the way out last time, I got in no problems but, hung up my axle on a rock on the way back out. Was nothing that being knee deep in water and the winch couldn't fix!

Was most of the carnage acquired down in the hole by the pond? I Imagine with all the rain this past week, it must've been nice down there...

Matt, you you get high centered again :)

Sounds like some good times.

Hahaha, no i stayed away from the enbankment this time.

I lost my tire a little before the pond on the way out. Don't know what i hit and i wasn't even realy aired down this time. So i am gunna try and order a set of 33's and some lift tomorrow and maybe have them by this weekend. Unfortunatly i can't afford to do the 35's and clayton lift i wanted to right now. So i will settle for some budget lift and some 33's.

lol they are Cooper Discoverer ATs. Pretty decent. I never got stuck in any kind of mud and I really dont see the point in super expensive tires at my current height(stock) since I'm going to be going up soon anyway.

I just watched how other guys got up most sections and did some what the same. The only part I really had trouble on was the water rocks section. Pretty much everywhere else was pretty easy once I got used to smashing my head off the window every now and then lol

Live and learn though right. For a stock minivan I think I did pretty good lol.

The rock in front of your bumper on your passenger side... In front of that there was another rock, and thats were I slashed my tire... Did we ever get through that in a hurry once we heard air pouring out...lol

Once you guys started losing tires I got pretty worried being that I only have a donut for a spare lol... I think the donut would last about 30-40 feet on this trail lol

Eh Matt, I see you're wearing your "Official" Duct tape offroad shoes again.
Traction enhancement at its finest!
Glad to hear it was a fun day.
The Sami's back together and ready for next weekend, Adrian.

Learned alot. Had dinner with the girlfriend and she was pissed about the dents so she made me make a list of everything I need to do to the jeep before I take it wheeling again.. :banghead:

lol Pretty basic list, skid plates, rockers, tires etc.

And I learnt that B&D trail is a sunday walk in the park compared to real trails lol

Maybe # 1 on your list should be
1- Find girlfiend you lives by the motto " Chicks dig body damage"
Come on..... everyone was thinking it :stir:

I'd gladly settle for any chick that wants me to spend time/money on my rig.

Which is what I currently have lol.

And she isn't personally worried about the body damage.. she was pissed because it doesn't look professional when I pull up to a clients house with a beat up Jeep lol.

However I did drive to work today without washing it.. my Director was quite stunned to say the least. I tried to park in the back but apparently thats where he parks too lol :banghead:

Wow, what kind of tight ass company do you work for?!?!? When I was at Mitel and the summer I had the YJ I pretty much had my own personal parking space. So much mud had fallen off it pretty much created a moat in the same spot I used daily.
Where I am now they beg me to bring the truck in, at least they did in the summer, wouldn't be so much fun now going for lunch time cruises with the top off.
