Here's some other videos from Jules:

Me hammering up a long hill we had fun with. There was a stump right in the middle that seemed to be sucking everyone into:

This one was a nasty mudhole that had ice a couple of inches thick that was breaking as we went over it. Someone said I was doing the rototiller.

I saw the first vid yeterday on Maine 4x4, and those other two vids are pretty sweet. Looked real fun. Hopefully I can get some things on the jeep so I can head out soon. Your jeep seems unstoppable! I don't think my jeep would of made it through that mud hole. That was nasty. I getting anxious for jeep. I am in the stages of planning out a front bumper build and will be buying a hitch soon also. Hey if you know of anyone who has any good deals on front bumpers for around $200 or less or a used let me know. Other wise I will probably just build my own.

 

It does well. I didn't think I was going to make it through that either. Having ARB's F&R helps a lot. I need some new tires, but don't have the coin right now.

I'll keep my eyes open for a bumper. If you do make one, make sure the plates go back further on the framerails than the 3 on each side that the factory bolts onto.

 

Thanks a Lot I'll keep that in mind. I can't wait to try out my tires, they have about 3000 miles on them so there pretty much brand new.

 

There is a couple bumpers on craigslist right now.

Yeah thanks I just recently saw those, and am actually going up in a couple weeks to check the one in bangor. I've emailing him and its to good to pass up. I would build one myself but don't really feel comfortable enough with my welding ability.

 

That rock hard bumper lloks pretty sweet have not seen that post yet, thanks a bunch! Good options.

 

Anybody else ready for this crap winter to be over? Not enough snow to do winter stuff and too much snow for other spring stuff. Ready for spring.

 

Any of you guys ever hit rocky mt terrain park and how was it?

 

If you look on one of the pages on this thread I think zr2toxj has a video of RMTP. I personally have not been.

 

Go to page 4 for the videos. Pretty nasty!

 

right on checking it out now, thanks

 

No problem. There is also an offroad park in Lewiston Maine too, called Allwheels. There are some videos on here of that too.

 

Yeah I went to the first annual "Diehard Weekend" at RMTP. Some of the guys camped for the weekend, but I'm only 45 minutes away so I drove up and wheeled Saturday.

It's a nice facility, with some tough trails. I was the only one in the group to make it up the summit trail, but a lot had to do with the mud. It was everywhere and the worse part was the road in & out of the park.I saw many winching out of the mudholes.

I am definitely going back this year. There were all kinds of rigs, 2-3 different clubs, buggies, stockers, you name it. They even have a Samari that you can rent and wheel. They had grills going and offered food at the lodge. It was an epic day.

Rick Pewe has been there with ME4x4. I'm still upset I missed that day. Some of the guys in the club went to check it out for the first time, but I had a lot to do, so skipped out. When they entered to pay the owner said Rick Pewe was in NH and had a change of plans and wanted to come check it out. The guys were skeptical, but gave John their phone number. Sure enough, they got a call to go pick him up.

They said he wheeled with them until 1030pm and most was on a tough trial where they winched all night. He was re-setting beads on one of the rigs, and signed a couple of dashboards.

There was an article published awhile ago which was very cool seeing members rigs in a mag. I'll see if I can find it.


Here's the dates for this year:
