My friends go to this every year and I usually go hang with them for a couple days of the maddness! Here are some pics. More on my blog.

Nice, looks like a great outing.

Has your stinger ever prevented a top flop?
Thinking I need one on my RZR since the wheel base is so short.

A lot of those ledges are more in tune with a Jeeps wheel base and I
am a lot shorter than that.

Sorry man, but I'm not the one to ask. My friends own the Jeeps, I just go along for the ride and take pictures. I don't know jack about them.

They're ugly :mrgreen: I figured going over backwards would be more of an issue than going over forward on those things. In most cases, the skinny pedal, will keep you on all four heading down hill. Most will brake hard when they feel they are in trouble and that's when the trouble begins. Hitting the brakes causes the rear to unload, pushing it upward. When you start getting light, the skinny pedal is the thing that will put the rear back down. (To a point, mini winches to each axle will help)

Over backwards is being able to throw it in reverse as fast as you can and the the skinny pedal :haha:

Hey Red, how fast can you get reverse in those things?

You can reverse very fast. The shifter is a straight throw, just yank it, no clutch.

The problem is without a low/low you are riding the brakes a lot in a down hill and pretty much required to be on them over a large ledge.

shaggy,
On your pics on the first of cliff hanger did your buddy make that obstacle he was trying on the right. That is a pretty big up. Tough to climb it and make the left hand turn at the top. Nice pics.
Mark

Ya he pretty much just cowboy'd up it. I almost didn't get the picture of him because I was expecting a slow struggle like most of the rigs in the group before us, but he ended up charging it and just popping up, making the turn and cruising down the trail.

Gotcha, that's a problem :mrgreen:

Shaggy,
How do you post just the clean pic without the ugly border frame etc.?

Don't upload it from your computer to here. Use something like Photobucket :2thumbs:
