Kingston Snow Bash 1-2-12

[Woodscaper]

It was a good time on the trail, thanks to all who made it. It was nice meeting some new pepole and the sunshine was hard to beat too. Im glad to see some of you took pic's, I took two and they were of all the rigs lined up so no need to post them. Im already ready for the next run so hopefully some more snow will fall.

Happy New Year to everybody and Congrats to Clay and Kirk.

Here is a Youtube video that I made with some of the videos I shot, and some of my photos along with others I stole.

Looks like you guys had a great time I only wish I could've gotten off of work and came with, J.D. did you still wanna run up mount baldy sometime soon?

[Jesus_man]

Nice video Clay! Thanks for putting that together!!

Wish you could have made it Corey. And yeah, I'd be game to run Mt. Baldy soon. I'll bet we'll find a fair bit of snow!

I almost forgot to mention we should call your rig Molotov Cocktail. LOL

No joke, That would have blew (he he) shoveling snow ON it to cool it down.

Shawn - meant to tell you that the strap I used to pull you out was a new-to-me strap. I thought it hit hard because we had it doubled up. But I used it single line later that day and it still hit hard!! Must be rated for way more than my 27k lb strap I normally use. Sorry! Will use my normal one next time for a softer pull!

If anyone is in the market for a strap - look hard at Bubba Rope. I have heard nothing but good stuff about that. Otherwise, drop into a farm supply store and pickup one of their's. Good stuff and you won't be paying for a name.

I did want a longer wheel base.
Thanks!

And now some recovery points before you get that axle yanked out from underneath.

I was thinking about a simple design for Bronco's for a recover point. You could make something that looked almost like a link mount out of 1/4", that welded up the sides of a frame rail and along the bottom that has a hole in it large enough for a clevis. Beef up that hole with a small piece of DOM or something. That way, if you wanted to retain your stock bumper, this could be welded behind it.

I was a little sad that I didn't get to take a Dana 44 home with me...woulda made a nice trail spare.

I am hell bent on keeping stock bumpers but I don't want to get all bent to hell doing it.................so I bought a pair of these off ebay (but I only paid 30 bucks)

Out back I am gonna put a cross member / receiver in between the frame rails with the receiver coming through a hole in the stock bumper

[Rox Crusher]

Rox get some 2x4 tube and slide it inside your front frame horns to re-inforce them behind your chrome bumpers and you'll be fine.

gonna incorporate this idea in to my bigger plan which is to hide a winch behind the bumper. mounting it on a custom cross member affair. will likely need help and ideas on how to make it happen

[Booger]

Holy crap they are proud of those things Rox.

no shiot.........................I lucked out and got a set of used ones that had a very poor description / listing so I got them for 25 plus shipping.
