Wheelin!

Went wheelin at hollister with some heeps on cinco de mayo

Went up the jungle trail at hollister. Dont have any pics but it was sick. Then we took another trail back down and one of the side step things i had got hung up on a tree, ended up bending it down pretty bad. I took those things off so they wouldnt be a problem anymore

Went wheelin again at hollister 5/20/07. Some of the heeps from last time and a friend of mine with a 3/4 '87 suburban 350/th400/208 with a 4" lift and 36"s.

I had adjusted air/fuel on the carb by less than 1/2 turn before we left to try and stop my annoying backfire. But apprarently that was too much and it was bogging pretty bad up some hills. quick adjustment and it would go up anything

Truck Hill:

Notice that nice bowtie on the hood. The hood is pretty much gone, its bent so bad you cant close it normally. You gotta close the sides and go back and forth, you cant pull on the middle or it just bends down without closing. So basically i didnt care if I messed up some paint, but it actaully came out pretty good.



The burb made it through the mud pit surprisingly...Then tried to go thru again and ran into some problems. More pics/details here:

Oh yeah! Look at that flex! Almost got hung up on the hitch but managed to keep going


The 14bff hangs a lot lower than the old 12b, I'm gonna have to shave it down some, it was scraping everywhere.

Some older wheelin' pics/etc:

Some of the roads that come off of it are just a little narrow and overgrown.

There's also tons of abandoned cars, trucks, and who knows what else. Probably around 40 altogether.

WHY????

Hollister Hills with the Chevy Militia

Sooo... We had a little "technical difficulty". I just got my new tires on and went wheelin right afterwards at the weatherstation. I was a little worried since the tires were just seated and hadn't had time to really seat on there for good. But I wanted to go wheelin'. I almost brought the jack but didn't bother with that either. So on the way back were going thru the gnarliest part of the road that's rediculously muddy with huge ruts. The truck gets a little sideways and then pulls to the left really bad. I go off the road a bit and first think it's just the mud. I keep going a little bit and the truck is pulling really bad to the left. I get out after the mud isn't quite as sketch and check eveything out. It didn't take long to figure out what the problem was. The front left tire was completely off the rim. And I have no jack, no spare, nothing. I call up my friend to get him to bring the jack and him and his buddy drive up in his buddy's truck. The rim and tire was completely covered in mud. There was no way it was gonna seat. But with a little help from nature, rocks and sticks to scrape the mud off, my shirt to clean it up more, and a stump to set the rim on, we were all set. We finally got the tire to hold air, still with plenty of mud on the inside though. It held air fine till the next day where I took it back down to where I got it mounted to have them take it off again and clean it out. As soon as they took it off the guy shows another guy the tire and they both laugh. Anyways heres the damage:

Going up rider rd. where buzzard lagoon connects this guy got his huge flatbed stuck, I hate that gnarly turn into buzzards.

Got bored so I took a couple pics of the truck while we were waiting for the guy to get his truck out of the way.
