wheelin pics, the real test.

went to the badlands in attica indiana. tried out the jeep for the first real time that is has ran right and worked well.

damage report: Dented oil pan, busted CV shaft, bent rocker panel, twisted unibody, Busted motor mount, and cut up tires (i need to do some major trimming)

the pics
(keep in mind, CV busted early in the day, ALL pics are only 2wd)
worse than it looks

The ONLY time we got stuck, and that is jsut because the ignition got wet. it fired up after this but due to only 2wd would not move under its own power.

yeah thats a huge sunroof. and a huge list of broken parts. but it looks like it did great in 2wd. exo skeletoned and swamper boggers sounds like a good route to take it.

well it had a factory sunroof till we busted it back in march. i was climbing in it and it busted, so a piece of lexan and some hinges later we have a make shift one. for a beater rig, it works.

and yes, the tractors saved us. if i would have had my swampers on it, i would have been stuck in 5 minutes.
