Default Hate the Keg

Wheeled just a bit at the park. There is this obstacle that has steps (angled). The steps are spaced out among a path of rocks. As you climb higher, the rocks get bigger and the pitch of the steps rises such that you see nothing but sky. I typically walk up it very easily with my longer wheelbase.

I ran it this past Sunday...and what a PITA. So jumpy and not smooth. Yeah, could have been my lines as they'll change since the obstacle changes over time. Then it dawned on my why the stock keg suck for throttle control. grrrr

Here is a view of the obstacle from the top looking down.

Looks like a great time was had. The whip antenna was extremely annoying, other than that nice vid.

It definitely was and as you could tell, not cold. hahah



A week ago on Sunday I went out again, but with a smaller group and did not drive. I brought a fine on her first snow wheeling run. She be driving a fullsize that dwarfs mine. 2010 Ford Crew Cab F150 EchoBoost, 6" Metal Mullisha Lift 35" Toyos. Lift, tires, tuner, and exhaust done in the last 2 weeks! This run was to be a mild Sunday stroll. I left 6:30am Sunday and returned 24 hrs later. Didn't get off into town until 3:30!! A whole lot of winching. The major parts I didn't get on film as I was the lone passenger and ran much of the rope and straps and blah blah blah.

Anyways, it was a great time. Never hook multiple straps together with d-rings!! We didn't have any wood dowels or saw to cut trees. Again...was supposed to be an easy, mild tour.

I am surprised you even have your sway bar on. Why?
