Worst off-road incident: |
Had to be at Hollister and the demise of my TTB! The second bearing repalcment I've done up at Hollister and then to top it off I ripped a bead on my tire! What a day. You know I had fun! |
Funniest off-road incident: |
Following a Samurai up Tank Trap at Hollister in another rig when the Samurai did a summersault and flipped. Guy never got out and sat there waiting for other people to right his rig while a fat line piled up! That thing smoked the place up once righted! That was more annoying then funny. The coolest though was watching Jopes from FSB snap his drive shaft on a rock, roll back to camp, weld it together, then run tank trap. That was after he did a stress test by unlocking the font with the rear in low and popping the clutch at 4000 RPM before slapping into second gear to make sure it would hold! |
