Gray rock, AL
 
1 Attachment(s)
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.

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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.

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).

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

I doubt it. That's too damn far to drive and you would pass up some of the greatest wheeling along the way.

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. ;)

Hmmm... :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:

There seems to be video of it...... although the video isn't as eventful as the picture leads you to believe.

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