Gray rock, AL

[PARAGON]

Went wheeling with some Jeep buds this past weekend and the Mrs and I had a blast. Found a place that absolutely requires a front locker for a H2 to do very well. We didn't get many pics, shot a little video, got some cool video of the Jeeps doing some nasty stuff.

BUT, also got some pics of the cumilative damage I have sustained, which most happened this past weekend.

First, here is a couple of pics borrowed from skillet over at the central alabama offroad society, who rode with in a rhino all weekend.

[PARAGON]

nother view of me just somewhere between 40 and 45 degrees.

[PARAGON]

nother view of that trail (I had to winch over that rock). That rock is just behind the Jeep.

[PARAGON]

My 37"s look small here.

[PARAGON]

Now a few pics on some of the carnage. I have been wanting to do extended rock rails and upgrade the UCP and should have done that before this trip, but, oops.



The rock rails have been great up until this point. I beat the hell out of the PS trying to pivot around a rock with it.

[PARAGON]

had a little "accident" on the RR quarter panel and ended up pulling off the little plastic corner piece and running over it a couple of times. Gray Rock now owns it.

[PARAGON]

Another reason I needed those extended rock rails. Got one in to both doors on the passenger side.

[PARAGON]

still another reason for the extended rock rails. Need then up to the fender wells also.

[PARAGON]

There was a tree that apparently many other rigs had rubbed. I just about had it cleared but if my tire would have slipped an inch earlier this pic would include a broken window.

[PARAGON]

Warn front bumper cover did it's job. It bent up without effecting the winch or the frame system underneath. One could simply replace the metal bumper once it's beat all to heck. This winter, mine will probably come off for a little hammer work

[PARAGON]

just about shoved the stock UCP up to the floorboards. Lost a bolt out of the rear and also lost a bolt out of the front of the skid plate.

[PARAGON]

another reason I need some new beefier UCP is that I am beating the cross-members to hell and back

[DRTYFN]

still another reason for the extended rock rails. Need then up to the fender wells also.
Awesome wheeling.:beerchug: I bet the H2-haters are reevaluating their misguided opinions of the "rebodied Tahoes". :D

[CO Hummer]

My favorite pic!!

EXCELLENT PICS!! NICE JOB, PARA!!!!!!!!
:beerchug: :beerchug: :beerchug:

[H2Finally]

nother view of me just somewhere between 40 and 45 degrees.:excited::excited::perfect10s:

If I was ever in that position, I'd tie a loose rope to the trees on the left to my B pillar, and will make sure to wear Depends beforehand.

[HummBebe]

Holy Moley Para, that is some great wheeling!!! Awesome carnage too!!! Congratulations!

The Cherokee in the pics shows Jeep Jamboree, has he been to the Rubicon??? (and yes that is a loaded Q).

[CO Hummer]

If you ever go wheeling in the deep south with your bling-o-matic rig....count me in. I gotta see that. :D

[PARAGON]

The Cherokee in the pics shows Jeep Jamboree, has he been to the Rubicon??? (and yes that is a loaded Q).I doubt it. That's too damn far to drive and you would pass up some of the greatest wheeling along the way.

[KenP]

Awesome, P!!! Just awesome!:perfect10s:

[Sewie]

Great stuff Paragon!!! :cool: :cool: :cool:

[TXSUT]

:perfect10s: :perfect10s: :perfect10s:

Paragon, my hat is off to you, but those carnage pics are exactly what keeps me from wheeling with any you nut-jobs. :D Call me a puss all day long, but I'll stick to the nice, soft, forgiving mud, thank you. ;)

[H2Oguy]

Awesome!!

[PARAGON]

Awesome!!HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[dochummer]

Holy cow! Definately time for some upgrades! :)

[H2Finally]

If you ever go wheeling in the deep south with your bling-o-matic rig....count me in. I gotta see that. :DHmmm... :D

Nah, never happen. My undercarriage looks similar to Para's with all the rocks around here (& JBT x 2 1/2). But body damage scares me to death. Not enough redneck in me.. :dancingbanana:

Big Silly will be there along with a bunch of others from this area. They know you will be there and know to run the other way if they see you coming.:excited: ;)

[timgco]

DAMN PARA! That one pic almost on your side gave me pucker factor just looking at it. :crying:

[Mrs.ssippi]

We really had a great time. I even rode with "Big Silly" up some crazy sh!t. :dancingbanana:

[H2Oguy]

HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

its coming soon! I am making some final adjustments to the front skid and the rock rails this week. Mid Rails are ready, Front and rear bumpers are complete, one grill guard done and two more coming, roof rack complete, new ladders complete,and all the other extras following shortly.

[ROX]

Nice pics Para! Looks like a great time! :perfect10s:

I agree with H2 Finally; banging up the undercarriage is one thing, body damage is a total bummer.:crying: :D

[PARAGON]

[H2Finally]

You probably think diamond's just carbon huh?:giggling::dancingbanana:it's all just metal, plastic and fiberglass.

[DDWH]

Just freakin WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!:perfect10s:

[Dennis Lorenz]

Man those are some sweet pics. That is sure a big black Jeep. You got any more pics of it or video??:D :shhh:

Some here might recognize the passenger at the beginning of the vid.;)

Pargon, Nice showing! My underside looks similar after the second time at Tellico. My body mounts are bent way over, and so are the rock rail mounts. I'll get pics when my camera gets fixed.

How did it compare to Tellico as far as diffuculty? I'm in if you go back out there!

:perfect10s:Much more difficult... because the rocks are coated with loose rocks and dirt. There's just no grip and it requires so much wheel spin. Also, several points are simply setup for short wheel bases and I was getting high-centered too much.

[Mrs.ssippi]

Nice pictures! You're in the lead on body damage but I'm determined to catch up.
Team Carnage. Drive it, like it's stolen. :beerchug:

[H2bill]

Ahhh...is your H2 still under warranty? :D

nice pics.:perfect10s:

[PARAGON]

Ahhh...is your H2 still under warranty? :D

nice pics.:perfect10s:it hasn't seen a warranty for over a year. Doesn't need one, nothing warranteed broke.:D

[Alan06SUT]

It really is amazing that these trucks can be wheeled hard over and over again, and still come out with only cosmetic damage.

How many miles are on your beast? And how many serious wheeling trips has it endured?

Do you think you'll make it back to gray rock?

Do you think you'll make it back to gray rock?It's only got about 35K miles. Just turned 4 years old. Been to Moab, Red Creek, Tellico, K-Rocks, Grayrock and a bunch of local wheeling. Just no rocks around here, though.

On the agenda is Superlift and yes we'll be going back to Grayrock, but probably not until the front is locked. All of the obstacles are climbs and with all of the crushed rock and dirt, there's no traction. The weight is a big negative in this situation since it can't grab.

That is pretty low miles, but many of those miles were SLOW!! I've already got 25K on my 06!

[2-H2's]

P,

I likes the new sig :D might make mine "looking for sponsors";)

[OldHiker]

Not for nothing, but, aside from the hood, what other part of that "jeep" is a jeep? Mine is 99% Hummer, 1% Fabtech tie rods.

[Alan06SUT]

Exactly and I wouldn't want to take it on a road trip. No stock vehicle besides other hummers and maybe a rubicon can hang with a 100%stock H2.

[Alan06SUT]

Holy Chit, a Hummer owner with some balls..

I cant believe you followed those real trail rigs around all weekend with just that little bit of scratches. Nice Job.. :perfect10s:



Now the rest of you pussez that are too skeered to scratch your 22's or get your PJ's dirty, go wheel your H2 already..

Lets see some pics of you off road. They better be good for all of the Sh1T you talk. Until then, you are the Ultimate WEB WHEELER POSEUR. Pics now.

[don10m]

When you going again Paragon? We've been to Gray Rock several times, I live about 40 minutes away. Let me know the next time your going and maybe we can come wheel with you.

Amazing pics !

Awesome wheeling.:beerchug: I bet the H2-haters are reevaluating their misguided opinions of the "rebodied Tahoes". :D


HAHAHA you have got to be kidding me have you guys ever actually wheeled before the reason you got so much carnage is because your truck is a pavement princess not a 4x4 my 97 F-150 with 275's on it has more clearance then that does and its not a rebodied tahoe its a rebodied suburban:clapping:

and 40-45 degrees my ass the driveway to my in laws house is more off camber then that :jump:

I've wheeled at Gray Rock several times, your F-150 wouldn't make it through the parking lot.:giggling:

[Alan06SUT]

Damn you are so badass, dude.
I only wish my H2 could compare to your unstoppable truck and I'm sure I would get hung up on that drive you speak of.

Hey can I come and get "spun out" with you some time? Please! We can compare who has the best meth teeth!
