Delayed in a Ditch

[TiNi]

What I find rather silly about this is

sitting at my parents pad in the basement are:

Dana 44 Font axle, Double walled w/ 4.88's, a spool, and locking hubs
Dana 44 Rear axle, Double walled w/4.88's, and an ARB
4 1/2" Rubi Exp long-arm kit
4-1 NP 241
Beadlock wheels
Hydraulic steering assist
and
a Warn 8274

All waiting for shop time to install on my TJ

and i keep stuffing it into ditches while I wait

I have a nice new dent too 

You will hate yourself if you put a spool in the frontend.  Get another ARB.  Im running detroits in mine.

now where is that other pic of a white jeep stuck in a ditch?

wasn't that in the PNW as well? only that time it was water instead of snow.

i think mom has a strange attraction to ditches.

Nope, didn't get to go shooting. The sun was going down and it was getting cold quickly. We were already really cold cause we had to sit there a while and let the engine cool after overheating it. So we started heading back.

Maybe next week sometime if he's feeling better.

Glad you guys made it out ok!

I'm super excited cause it'll be the first time I get to play with my shiny new HMR .17.

A gun is not a toy.  You were being punished...and prevented from shooting your eye out.

^ what he said.  Spool front and ARB rear is just silly backasswards.  Well, unless turning isn't a priority?

Must have been those round headlights.

Got fed up with photo bucket, the pic posting process, and our workplace lack of bandwidth to do same.

You'll really enjoy that 17 HMR. Its a great little round. Squirrels go boom at 200 yards.

Yeah, Mother has one thats a bit more modified than mine. He let me shoot it and I was hooked. So I was saving up to get one and surprise! I got one for a Christmas-Valentines Day-Birthday present. Yay!

Good news, clutch on the jeep seems ok.

I wish I had taken better pictures. The carnage was worse than it appears in the pics. A is where we started. B is how far forward we went in the ditch before getting out. In the first pic I posted, where I'm standing is about ten feet further then how far back the car went.


My response as we were sliding into the hill? "Um, stop stop stop!!"

His response once we realized we were kinda stuck? "Huh. Thats interesting."
