Our monthly get together at jesters ended up at portillos, we sat at jesters for an hour before re realized it was closed today for an unexpected reason. Then I proceded to do a little mall crawling on Anthony's jeep

Well Naxja winterfest came and went. Got home late last night. Great time. Only damage was puncturing one of my new cooper stt. Ran Orange the first day which was an icey mess, then ran green the 2nd day, and ran red the last hour with just Empypockets and Timmy51193. Good time as always.

Awesome. Any plans on running 2x6 rockers in the near future? Also what gears are you running? Seems to just go right over those rocks.

I'm on 3.55 gears. Actually 2x6 rockers are in the works along with some other cool things this month. Just gotta stay tuned

Another few climbs..



I really didn't get in the rocks as much as I wanted to. The few times I went over to the quarry it was too slick and mud I couldn't get up much so I just stopped and went back to trails.

Great looking jeep and love that you didn't stop after the rollover....
cHEROkees are disposable wheelers.....Cheap and so awesome.
Once they go past point of no return, then you buy a new one and switch over all your old parts on new jeep!

Keep on Jeepin!

Nice videos man. I hardly got any now that I don't have a good spot to mount my camera. We're talking about going to the Cliffs in April.

Need to add some more tube to that bad boy for a new camera spot! I'm down for the cliffs everything I'm planning should be done by 1st week of april.

I got some more videos to post. Need to go through the footage of new red. Apparently I should learn to turn the camera off when we stop so I don't get hours of nothingness


Heres a little video of some "new" red trail

Finally ordered another tire today to replace the one I broke... Removed the old one off the rim with the HI lift. So easy to pop the bead... Now removing the tire that still sucks
