The map was off but we hit a lot leave 3 areas and did just fine, he doesn't have UCP yet but did just fine in the lose rocks. Due to not much experiences in rocks and up hills the sliders did a great job for me!!!!

I have to ask on HMMWV if you slam on the breaks to hard you can snap all 4 half shafts. I slammed on my breaks a few time and I was rolling to fast and was thinking if the same can happen to the 3's?

Solidusj, you had to have gone back down the backside of the trail in the first couple of pics, that trail was much better and much more exciting. Good opportunity for pics on the backside too! I see you were getting guided between those two trees, if I remember correctly, going up it between those trees was only about 2 or 3 inches with the mirrors out, lots of fun! Did you run up any of the streams? Wish I could have heard in time to drop down there!

Hell your on post???? We need to link up so I can get out of this hotel room for a few hours!!! We was just going all around and just having fun and not a clue where to go. It was a great day and we are planing to hit soon and there also something about a closed down airport near here? Frumaker said we will hit it after a good rain storm.

Just slamming on the brakes won't break your half shafts. Having your wheels spinning, not in contact with the ground and slamming on the brakes can cause a half shaft to break. You have 170#s out at the end of the half shaft. Slam on the brakes and suddenly stop the wheel from turning while it is in the air and you can snap the half shaft. Same is true if you have a wheel spinning in the air, locker on and it comes back down into contact with a solid surface. If you are drving with all four wheels in contact with the surface and slam on the brakes you are just going to stop faster.

Wish I were still there, I made it to Tulsa in March. The family is still there in the area, but as they are vacationing in Brazil for the summer I've been staying up here. There are plenty of nice places to wheel, like Trees Ranch, Katemcy Rocks 2, a place SE of Dallas I forgot the name of and of course Marble Falls. The abandoned airport you mentioned might just be the 50-80 acres on the side of Skylark field which is the old Killeen Municiple airport. When it rains it gets nice and muddy and the trails in and out are already well rutted so 33" mudders are good as a minimum for that. There is also a sinkhole in the middle of it to play in that usually has some mud in it year round from an underground stream, but the area is kinda small and probably private property but seems to be free-use. We have had several dead bodies show up back there over the years so keep that in mind, but its not Deliverance or anything.

If you go to Trees, you will get lots of pinstriping and damage, its tight. K2 will need lots of ground clearance and good UCP.

Looks like fun. My radiator cracked last week and the 3 was stuck sitting in the driveway until the dealer could get it taken care of.

I'd like to get out for a little fun. I have two free weekends before I go in to 3 72hr work weeks.
