It was insane!!! I love trails like these. I typed in on a google search john bull 6/9 and already saw a post on a JK forum bitching about us. The people on that trail were EXTREMELY rude! Our group was awesome...we were polite and let 2 jeep groups past us and at the end of the day we stopped for a good 30 minutes to let a bronco and JK group past as they were bitching on how we were too slow. After waiting for a good 30 minutes no one passed us! We went ahead and finished off the trail. Craig had a bronco guy hanging on his tail revving his engine...UHHH RUDE!?! How about ask nicely. The gatekeeper was ridiculous. There were a good 20+ people hanging out eating lunch and watching us go through. By the time they got there the only people left for the gatekeeper was Zach, Craig, me and Kurt. I made it through under my own power through the gatekeeper with no strap or winch.
It was really nerve racking to be honest. I had the peanut gallery passing Hummer comments while Craig and Dave are trying to get me through with some other random guys trying to spot me that dont know a proper line for a hummer. Im competitive, we all know that, so I tried my best to get through without a strap/winch yet staying controlled and not breaking something. I made it, after kurt went through I head back down as we parked to let the jeepers through. One rubicon got stuck, as much as I wanted to open my mouth for all the **** they were saying to us I decided to bite my tongue and not stoop to there level. After them old Chevy trucks and K5 blazers went through, a K5 ended up having front axle issues. They turned around. We continue the trail I ended up getting strapped twice at this point. Once we get to "the narrows" on the trail. It was tough as hell, Serges dad got good footage of us going through. I was so pist! I made it 98% through and then needed to get a tug to finish it off. I am making it next time, those ****in duratracs sucked balls seeing they were racing slicks. That was my big issue. All in all it was a great day with great people. I think the other groups reminded me of what a cool group we have, not all but a lot of other groups are filled with jackasses. Im ready to hit that trail again...I will give a review of the lift in the rancho lift section. Thanks guys for a great day, sorry I have no pics...I, as all of us were, just a bit busy.
