Re: 4X4 Action Pix
At Northwest OHV Park in Bridgeport, Tx.
Not action shots, but I finally got the my "new" Jimmy to the off road park. Few shots at the end, when I was headed out of the park. Hopefully one of the guys I went with has some action shots. If I can find any, I'll share them here.

Re: 4X4 Action Pix
Here are some more pics from the same date as above, snipped from a video that was taken on one of the hills, so the quality may be a little rough, but still some good flex shots I think.

Re: 4X4 Action Pix
Thanks for keeping this thread alive. One of the best threads we have. I can't believe it died off. I wish I had something to contribute. I get back in the woods for firewood or a trail to the river and that's about as rugged as it gets for me these days. i'm boring now

Re: 4X4 Action Pix
I was into rock crawling during that era out east and always looked forward to the magazine coverage of the major events. Your Jeep was cutting edge and had the perfect mix of buggy and Jeep. One of my all time favorites during that era for sure! Shortly after this it became all buggy and I lost interest.

Re: 4X4 Action Pix
Where abouts? Cool pictures. Best one yet, ey? Larry had invited to ride along one year, way back when. I wanted to but couldn't swing it. I really missed out on a chance of a lifetime.

Re: 4X4 Action Pix

I really only had one GPS track nailed down to start out on and we would choose as a group where to go next. We've gone the other way and had hard plans of a very specific trail each day and like clockwork, the plan gets tossed for different reasons and we end up winging it anyway. So we cut to the chase and winged it after day one. Best one yet comes from many factors. We had a diverse variety of landscapes and elevations, each section of dirt was different than the last. We had alpine forests at 10,000 feet of elevation to be at least 7,000 feet lower at the bottom of a canyon crossing the Dirty Devil River. The trails were not highly technical rock crawling but what they lacked in boulders they made up for in steepness and remoteness. Low gearing going downhill was a must both coming down the mountain and deep into the canyons. Larry and I joke but are partly serious that one of the goals of the trip is to be away from people. We nailed it. Between traveling during the week and in the depths of summertime heat (I saw 107* at one point) in southern Utah there weren't any other idiots like us out on the trails. Literally, we passed zero folks on the trails. I'm not counting two NP Rangers we came across at different times as they were out there looking for goons like us to warn us of the pending threat of rains and flash flooding that was possible every day we were out there. We had minimal mechanical issues. Any we did came from mine. The biggest of which was a blown exhaust donut that we fixed in a rest area outside of Capital Reef NP. An hour burned on a hot parking lot and we were back out moving again. Honestly, it couldn't have gone any smoother than if we planned it. We all had a great time. It was more overland than wheeling for sure, but driving 9 hours out and back also means we don't want to destroy our junk and not be able to make it home. All our trucks are very well equipped to take on a rough trail if we have to. We've done it many times in the past. It just worked out that though remote they weren't hard. That being said I still managed to get winched off a river bank when I couldn't get further and the Waggy with the camper got a tug from a kinetic rope when he couldn't get over a sandy hill on the trail. Both were self-inflicted. I had a hub unlocked and Don was still in 2wd when he hit the hill. Never say never dude. If you want to tag along, let me or Larry know and we'll make it happen. ![]()

Re: 4X4 Action Pix
That certainly does sound like about as perfect as it can get, in all those ways. No others out there at all sounds fantastic. You nailed my type when you said never say never. One of my favorite and fitting sayings I use. Hopefully one day I'll...
When I lived in the Flagstaff area ('81/Mountainaire) I had a typical weekender back country camper for the time. A '71 Custom Deluxe SWB K/10 I'd head out in. Rock crawling wasn't even a thing I ever knew of back then, other than a nasty trail up a cut. I was more about going out, being away, and getting back than getting into extreme wheeling. Follow trails and find a good camping spot. I loved that short period in my life. Nothing like what you guys do. It was within the area. I liked the high desert as well as the alpine country around the Franciscan Peaks and over toward Williams. The parking lot action here ( ![]()

But as much as I love crawling through rougher trails, it's more a means to an end. Those rougher trails are quite the gatekeeper to Subarus, Sprinter vans and other vehicles from getting into primo quiet camping locations. Though the Jeep and Toyota crowd give the best confused looks when me and Larry come lumbering up to a great spot that they thought could keep the Foolsize crowd out too. Much less a couple with campers on the back of each of our trucks. It is an awesome feeling when those guys are fumbling with setting up ground tents and we are kicked back in our chairs enjoying a nice refreshment.
