Went wheeling today!

**Mickey_D** · 02-27-2009, 10:15 PM

I hope John (311WJ) will pipe in here and fill any details I might miss. A group of 7 of us in 4 vehicles went to 5 Mile Pass ORV park west of Lehi, UT.

Here you see three of the rigs. The fourth was a 1985 Toyota pickup.
Pictured is John's friend's MJ, my ZJ and John's WJ.

Here's me playing King of the Hill...

And me showing my ***...

And of course John had to have a play...

Showing some flex

John's friend owns a MJ not a WJ. Looks like a fun time!

Do you happen to know what lift is on that WJ?

Here's the MJ showing everyone that you don't have to have four doors to do it right

And John showing why disconnected sway bars can occasionally be a bad thing

There's only about an inch or two of room between that rather large rock and the door

John demonstrates why a lift kit is a Good Thing (tm)

Our friendly import showing not just Jeeps can navigate a dry stream bed

Notice the difference in angle between my window sill and the MJ? lol

Poser shot...

ZOOM ZOOM!!

Some beautiful scenery up there. Still a little chilly, though. The warmest my outside temp meter read the whole time was a brisk 28*F.

John playing, "Look at me, mom!!"

And I just have to throw this one in. Anyone who thinks a stock ZJ can't go wheeling, take a look under that back tire. That thing went more places than my slightly lifted S-10 Blazer couldn't go, and the only reason my CJ would have done better was the shorter wheelbase.

loks lke you all had fun. I haven't gone in 2 weeks, need to get back out there.

rmtomasin · 02-28-2009, 01:38 AM
