Kuddos to Ron for the great spotting (only reason I didn't break something -- 'cause I was ready to just smash through anything at the end), and NEO for representin' the H3!!!
Sorry guys we had to turn around. Granted that this is JBT, one of the hardest trail for any stock vehicle (the Hammers is for the heavily modded), but come on -- I was hung up or slippin or slidin every 5 FEET!!!
I'm all out of excuses. Bottom line was that was the hardest time I ever had on a trail. Every line I took turned out to be the wrong one. Every time I tried to correct, it got worse. At the end, it wasn't fun anymore, just frustrating, embarrassing, and fukcing maddening
and that's when we turned around.
But not to worry, I shall return, and I shall ride the BULL again!!!
There is a happy ending though. On the way home I had a chance to pick up another set of rocker panels I won on ebay (seller live in the area), which was great timing since I bent mine (actually cracked the rock I landed it on!) -- and these new ones are
CHROMED BLING-BLING BABY!!!!
