Silver Lake 4
Not bad at all!
It started out like any other day. A couple crazy guys in pieces of crap unfit for regular transportation, taking their trucks out on the dunes for the first time in 2003. This included an $800 Jeep Wrangler, Ed's Bronco, the infamous Mail Jeep, DJ's Cherokee, and Skip's Suburban. There were mechanical failures (tires, fan through a radiator, broken frames, sheetmetal damage, you name it), but we all made it out OK.
"Hey 'yall, watch this!"
Our campground. There were more trucks off to the left.
Which one of those vehicles doesn't belong?
Up, up and away!
Top of test hill.
Jeremy's Cummins Dodge and T-Dogg's Sonoma, which graciously tug out the Mail Jeep on several occasions.
Stuck, and possibly overheating at the top of test hill.
Ya see, it carries so much speed that I've gotta slam on the brakes and it noses over at the top of the dunes. I need wider tires, dammit!
We all made it up. Took several tries, but even Matt's horribly underpowered Wrangler got to the top.
For the love of God, please clearance your fenders before you swap to larger tires and go dune jumping!
Where'd the rest of that shock go?
Before heavy drinking had commenced.
Jeremy Taylor's CJ5.
Kickass sunset.
What are 'ya gonna do, besides get drunk and write on a Jeep with magic marker?
All V8, all the time.
What's in that fire? Who knows!
Just say NO to Wild Turkey.
The aftermath.
Ready for the tow home. Hopefully we'll do it again sometime this year!
