2006 Walnut Creek, AJE event
Bastrop, Texas
March 11th & 12th, 2006
The Red Rocker did not make it to this event, so Tanner and I rode shotgun with Jay.
We start out by dropping off in a wet creek.
Kevin and Kristen are 4X4 event rookies but dive right in.
A tight turn on the other side makes this interesting.
The rest of the team works their way across.
I had to snap a pic of this tire cover.
Well, back down in the creek bottom.
If you get scared, just smile.
Jay slid off in a rut and tagged his nice new King Ranch paintjob on a tree.
Kevin is starting to understand the disadvantage of open diffs
No problem, Jay drops a strap on him and his is out. .
This XJ had 4:88 gears and it really worked nice.
Jay discovers the pucker factor on this off camber drop off.
And back up the other side (starting to see a theme here)
This XJ got jammed against a tree, so we used the Bubba winch
This YJ tipped over against the same tree. .
The soft top is tougher than it looks.
So, back out with the Bubba winch.
Kevin buries his front tire in the fender.
Hang on Kristen, time for a wheelie.
Flex was commonly tested in the creek bottom.
Chris, from Houston, shows the proper use of the Jesus handles.
Our trail leader…..leads us over a bluff.
And does a controlled slide down to the water.
Tanner gives Jay some grief about taking the “EASY LOOP”
Before we can exit the creek, out Tail Gunner rolls a tire.
