Re: Me In Tellico
Were you the only 2 to do Guardrail and did Hollie make it all the way up? Was the 1 that went up the one that spewed power steering fluid?
You HAVE to post the pics of you on guardrail! Especially the one of you leaning into the cable.

Re: Me In Tellico
The power steering fluid was from Hollie...the H1 that went up guardrail was a champ--he walked the big ledge after fains ford as well. Im pretty sure he was running 37's where the others where running 39.5 iroks. Jason being up on gaurdrail was pretty crazy. Going to the right meant a vertical climb with large ledges to bump. This put alot of stress on the front end and to be honest im suprised his front dif or half shafts didnt blow. Going to the right was nuts as well as it was narrow and off camber and to the left was a nasty drop off! Unfortunately Slick rock was closed but next trip i WILL own slick rock. For being stock i was happpy with my truck performance following 1s and Jasons lifted 2. lol its amazing how much you can feel the obsticles when aired down. I ran 22psi all weekend with no worries of popping a bead. To all the nay sayers of wheeling 20's, they shouldve followed me so i could show them the truth! Now i just have to figure out what happend to my front end.

Hollie made it to the pointed rock that is to the left on Guardrail just before the guardrail and big boulders start. That's when the power steering fluid got shot all over the place and the truck had to be backed down.
The H1 was a black one that was driven by a guy named Joe. I was VERY impressed with his ability with his truck.
Here's a few more pix of me on guardrail... |

I got some rock rash from that boulder on both driver side doors...nothing that I'd bat an eyelash at though...and certainly nothing compared to the rest of the damage I got on that trail (busted center cap, rim chewed up REAL bad, broken rear marker light, crimped and dented lower rear left quarter panel, broken rear left plastic thingy that you connect the roof rails to, broken left rear quarter window, and various other nicks and scratches).
My repair bill for busted parts throught the trip and the labor to install them was about $2700. That's not fixing the scratches and dents. Not bad considering the amount of fun I had and how hard I pushed my vehicle. I could really care less about scratches and small dents...that stuff is bound to happen eventually, so why sweat it?  |

No, didn't drive it with my eyes closed...but didn't exactly slow down for branches that were going to hit my vehicle. I normally offroad in Naples on narrow trails, so I already had some scratches...no big deal as far as I'm concerned. The only thing I was upset about breaking was the window...and I was only slightly worried about that because I didn't want it to fall out and then have it rain.
But, yes, the particular trail (Guardrail) where I received most of my damage is "that rugged." It's rated as an F4 and not something most people can do. |
