Our first Off Road Trip. Lots of Pictures(hopefully)

I finally got my pictures scanned and on the internet. Hopefully I get to share them now. This is from a couple weeks back. Met TonyTJ through here and we hooked up to go off roadin'. It was my first time out on a real trail(besides people's cornfieldsLOL). Here we go:

<img src="http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid24/pb235a6c6258c0644460046bb078a3acf/fd965267.jpg" alt="" />

That's Tony's Jeep. Pretty nice, huh? It's a before shot. I wish I had one that nice.

We hooked up and decided to try a place that we both had never really tested out. Most of the pictures are of my little red barbie cause he had the camera. And cause I was a lot more reckless than he was. LOL

<img src="http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid24/p428884b49b3075ae409c5320932301ed/fd965c86.jpg" alt="" />
That looks flat but it's actually a hill. I think I broke my steerin' box on that one.

<img src="http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid24/p055084c3d8052cb8a1198a203dc51e89/fd96526e.jpg.orig" alt="" />
There, that's better. I made it!! Woo hoo. Not bad for a stocker, huh?

<img src="http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid24/p2822f3b6302439fb2125777d05248fbb/fd96526b.jpg" alt="" />

After we did a few hills I decided to go into the woods. I hit what I thought was a puddle and sunk four feet! Rear Tow hooks would have been great at that point. Got them on there now though for next time.

<img src="http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid24/p0013aebdc27e578111bcb7e6131e3d94/fd965268.jpg" alt="" />
Same mudhole. Wish we had gottten pictures of the other side, cause that's where it was deep.

<img src="http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid24/p91eb57841bd0fcfa7d39d822dbbd42bc/fd965263.jpg" alt="" />
That's the only picture we got of Tony's actually out in the dirt. He was bein' camera shy. Oh well, next time.

<img src="http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid24/p0f77f755eb87e8ab18d98f2e80d79330/fd96525f.jpg" alt="" />
This is after our little outing. Stopped for some food and took some pictures. Tony may have a better jeep, but mine looks better there cause it's dirtier.

<img src="http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid24/pa7490b8ce0e30580d550c3172d501dc0/fd96525d.jpg" alt="" />
There we are standin' beside our rigs. I'm the skinny freak in front of the red one, he's in front of the green one. By the way, incase your wonderin' why I ain't wearin' shoes, it's cause I lost them in that mudhole.

All in all, I think it was a really great trip for a couple of first timers, we didn't get all the way back into the trail cause it was just too muddy for my jeep, but we'll go again soon.

Dalerus: it is a Manik grill guard. I ordered it from Quadratec. I've had it for 2yrs now and it still looks great. It bolts on to the factory bumper and allows the use of stock tow hooks.
Jim- the pics came out great!!! We need to get a hold of Mammu and take him out.

Yeah sure, Tony. Give out my address. He could be some stalker rapist murder type person (no offense)

Just jokin'. More than welcome to come with. It makes me feel good to know that there are other people around here like me. We were out in some little spot out in Rockford. I'm not sure if it was private property or not. I had to take a steal cable off last time I went (took a girl out). I think Tony was decidin' on the next place we were goin' to go explore. 33" tires and a 4" lift might make us look bad though. We're new at this afterall.

That's like five minutes away from Tony he said. About an hour away from me. Did you put the lift on yourself? If you have yahoo messenger you can find me at JimiFingHendrix2002. Tony isn't smart enough to work his computer for anything like that so he just has an email address. Ha ha. Any expirence at all wheelin'? And most important question, could you stand hangin' out with a couple of immature teenagers? LOL

i live by schaumburg police department. as far as hanging out w/ immature teenagers, well i am an immature almost 30 year old, so we are probably at different levels of immaturity, but that doesn't matter cause we all have jeeps. i did put the lift on myself. my bros has truck repair shop, so i had all the tools i needed and a facitility where it didn't matter how long it took. about 2 days to do it. yahoo messenger scutt72
