August Night Wheeling

November 19 2009 by Mark Aplet

Here is some footage from our first ever nigh wheeling trip. The footage is not very clear of course, but hopefully you can see enough. In the first scene, I took Traver for a ride up a rocky trail, trying to scare him a little bit (noob) Then Joe took a shot and had very little problems with it. In the last scene starting when the jeep comes into focus from between the trees, this is when Joe spun the caps off his u-joint trying to get un-wedged from between some rocks. Fortunatly we were able to find both caps and all the berrings in the dirt. Something that is nearly impossible to do even in the daylight let alone at night. I put the caps back in place and winched him out from between the rocks and away we went. Pretty fun adventure for one night.

August Rockcrawling Trip

November 16 2009 by Mark Aplet

Back In August, we got together with a few friends and took the Jeeps and the Exploder up to Cow Mountain for a weekend camping trip. We wheeled for two full days, and even tried our hand at night wheeling. Talk about different… Try rockcrawling at night. It's a lot of fun and changes the way you look at the terrain completely.

Being that it is now 4 months since that trip, I feel that I should finally get my act together and start cutting together a video. Due to current time constraints this video is from the first day only. I will recut a final version with all the video at a later time.
