Looks pretty extreme to me.How do you like those Trail ready beadlocks?I am thinking of buy some for the 84 .

I like the TrailReadys. The features I really like are the protection for the valve stem and the hub. The valve stems are completely protected from getting ripped out. Also, since less of the wheel is exposed there is less of a chance of a boulder getting in there to smack the hub.

Is your fender flare messed up or is that some serious body flex? Reminds me of the body flex we get from our Cruisers.

The fender flare is toast. We get some good misalignment between the bumpers and the body though.

Hey Brian... I lost some paint on that obstacle yesterday :D

Yeah Table Mesa is great. The number of trails of all levels seem endless out there. Best part is it's only 30 minutes from my front door.

BTW, Brian... maybe we can run the Cinders sometime. I like to get up there a couple times each year. The Cinders is pretty cool in the snow too... no pun intended!

Do you know of many trails up your way? Besides the Cinders I've never run anything good up there.

That would be Upper Terminator. There is also Judgement Day out of that same wash. What do you have going on this weekend? I could show you all the trails out there. Let me know.

Nice pics also.:D

No, we didn't do the last section of Raw Deal. We had some guys waiting on us. It was a weird day. Some of the guys invited folks with stockers:rolleyes: We started the day with a 5 day old TJ and a beat Ranger. The Ranger blew his auto hubs and the TJ well... it was a stock TJ on little skinny tires.

So we took them on some easy stuff to begin with then we split from them and did Raw Deal while they were playing somewhere else. We kept hearing them on the CB faintly, but they couldn't hear us at all. Damn CB I wish everyone would get their Ham License now that it's so damn easy, you just can't beat the range and clarity of a 50 Watt FM mobile. So we got out as quick as we could just in case they had got themselves in trouble.

Anyway... this weekend is out for me... at least at the Table Mesa area. We already have plans to do Martinez Canyon and the Coke Ovens.
