Sick Video!! Crystal Mountain and Moody Hill
What a sick day of wheeling!! We started with three, Pitbull, Sickboy and my buddy Brock aka 99rockies. After we got off I-25, Brock was having death wobble bad so we pulled over to inspect for issues. Alignment was dead on (1/16th toed in) but the steering stabilizer bracket was loose and then Josh found the game killer....broken welds on the track bar bracket. Parked it at a super market and he grabbed shottie in my rig. We got to the trail aired down and let the mayhem begin. Moody hill is pretty tame until the rock quarry. It was a sick obstacle. Steep granite loose sand and rocks a good time for sure. Both Josh and I made it up with little problem. On to Crystal Mountain. Josh bounced and smashed his way up the rock ledge while I gave it a walk. Next we encountered what I am playfully calling "THAT GUY" Off Road Club or TG for short. Two YJ's, full size ford pickup, full size bronco and a murdered out yota and enough bud light for a club meeting. I was thankfull the yota showed me the hard line on the playground and had some good advice after my first attempt left both my front tires off the ground threatening to roll over backwards. (not really that close but it felt like it in the Jeep...high pucker factor for sure). Made it over and I hit some other lines as well as a descend on the "easy line". It was probably the most nose down I have ever been. On our way out Josh was feeling vibration so we pulled off and he changed his rear drive shaft out but it didn't help. He noticed it didn't vibrate in neutral so the diagnosis was a bent output shaft from the t-case. He was also lucky enough to bend his tie rod as an added bonus. I amazingly escaped unscathed (knock on wood). There wasn't a cloud in the sky today and it felt more like July than late September. I feel like I did some of my best driving today check out the video and see what you think. Sickboy killed it as usual.
