Damage report?

 

[Josh40601]

love the avatar man.. that ranger is nice.. i'm jealous

thanks a lot man.


Just gotta tell everyone this....

So as you can tell, i went to Moab with a Jeep club. its not ALL Jeeps, but there are only 3 guys in the entire club of about 30 people that don't have Jeeps. So needless to say, they were just WAITING for me to fail.

one of the guys was like, "I am following the Ranger, because i can't wait to see this thing get all jacked up"

another asked, "Why did you bring a Ranger to go rock crawling?"

I just kept my mouth shut, and by the end of the first day, they all had a change of heart. The guy who was waiting for the truck to get jacked up was the first one to apologize. He said, "I never thought a Ranger could wheel like that. That is one bad ass truck man"

Josh, sounds like you need a doubler

If i was sticking with the 4.slow, a doubler would be a MUST. Since i am going v8, i will just beat the piss out of this setup.

Now do that for a week... and run 37's! Glad I've got the NV4500 going in...

 

[Josh40601]

at least you had a front locker

 

[Josh40601]

AKA a good weekend!

yep! Just an expensive one....

 

[wahlstrom1]

I thought I did to, until I pulled the cover shits and giggles and saw this:

 

[Josh40601]

damn son! What did you put back in there?

 

[wahlstrom1]

Chris Durham got me the broken parts overnighted from LA to NY, had it back together for the next day of wheeling (Rausch Creek).

 

[Josh40601]

NICE.... that is pretty kick ass.

 

[wahlstrom1]

Still got a bill for it when I got back, they weren't free! They just help you get out of a jam when needed.

Looks like you had a ton of fun... Did you trailer there or make the drive?

 

[Josh40601]

ouch.... That had to be a steep bill
