Project Rubicon

Back when i was totally Stock i tried to climb this hill.


Here is a link to a video clip of my first Unsuccessful try ….. Video

Then Later I went back (still totally stock) and gave it another try.
This time i hit it at a better angle and with more speed
Here is a link to a video clip of what happened then ….. Video

After a few mods I went back to this little Mud hole for a rematch.

Here is a picture of my Rig all aired up, just after i drove through the mud hole.


Here’s a couple of pictures and some video of some of my Friends playing in the same mud hole.

Two New and mostly Stock Rubicons go into a trail.
One comes out Clean and the other one comes out ….let’s say … not so Clean.



You guessed it our Rubicon is the one that came out “Not So Clean”.

This is what happened…

There was this little Mud hole and i couldn’t resist, i had to see if my Rig could make it through.

Here is a link to a video clip of what happened ….. Video

Here is where i bottomed out.


This is what the shovel looked like after i winched out.


And here is a picture of what the rest of my Jeep looked like.


After 6 hours of cleaning ….



This little adventure got me to thinking that I sure could use a Lift and bigger tires.
