Morris Mountain Vids

I went down yesterday. I let my wife drive all day. Ended up breaking a u-joint on the front driveshaft on The Ugly.

Awesome. She drives pretty good for a woman. Maybe it's the Wag.

When did you cut the top off and build the cage? I remember you squishing the top in the last videos you posted.

Cool videos though!

I cut it all off after that last run. I had the cage under the body before.

Thanks!

Is that the fan hitting the shroud while he is climbing?

And did the green TJ make it up?

Yes it was.

The TJ that was lifting a tire had to winch. That hill was all about wheel base and momentum.

Last ones.

It means everything was "Cool" until the end, # 6 gets a big "Thumbs Up".

Man, that place is close to where I live... didn't know about it. Of course, I'm just getting back into this hobby again. Trail bossed the Dixie Run many years ago... haven't been offroad in over 10 years. I'll have to check it out once I'm sure the engine will stay cool.

Vids I saw were pretty sweet Steve. Did you drive at all? MM is roughly 5 1/2 to 6 hours away from me. It'd be hard to give up the seat for me

Very nice vids! Your wife did a fine job, of course the spotter only gets credit when something goes wrong though. LOL

See you at the Fall Crawl? Hopefully I'll have my Cherk ready for it, still got a few things to finish.
