Figured I'd make a thread for ride pictures and videos here in Texas. We have a "Texas Jeepers!" thread but it seemed to me to that a great many members might not be following that thread and one dedicated to just the shots and vids from our Texas rides might have a pretty broad appeal.
Anyone who has vids or pics from the ride in this first post or any other Texas ride, please post them here for all to enjoy!
Below, I am re-posting the vids I shot on our ride at Wolfe Caves on 11/08/2020:
Here's the white JLU Rubicon (sorry, I forget the name of the guy that drove it) making the climb. He was the first to attempt it and discovered that the two parallel cracks were exactly the same distance apart as his Jeep's track and that, when stuck between a big rock and two wheel-eating cracks, you just gotta push harder...which he did.
@b0xcar was up next on the "double-crack" climb. Makes it look easy!
Then it was @Bob in Texas' turn in his nicely built LJ. Gotta love where he put the Wolfe Caves use tag (front bumper)...looks like a toe tag! Fortunately, that was not prophetic and both he and his LJ survived the outing mostly unscathed.
Note the full-length rock sliders...we will be seeing those in action in a later video down "The Chute".
Then, @Tldelaney blasts up the climb in his nearly stock, nearly pristine Sahara. Stay the hell out of this man's way!
...and then it was my turn! Pretty sure I still have half the enamel on my teeth...maybe
Thanks again to @b0xcar for the excellent spotting!
And thanks to Wade for the footage!
Speaking of Wade, he was our final contestant on "who wants to ride between the cracks?" And a fine job he did; lockers, we don't need no stinking lockers!
Here's my climb as seen from the driver's seat...
Just for continuity, I'll put up the descents by the white JLUR and Bob down what I christened "The Chute" in the next post.
