 |  Ejs 2008 Myself and a few other K-series trucks ran Pritchett on Wednesday while photographers from Petersen's took some pictures. Here's some video that was taken. All of this is in Moab, UT during Easter Jeep Safari 2008. Some little canyon on Pritchett: A Samurai on its side, people just pushed it back over: Tom (works for ORD, he's not on this site) on Rocker Knocker: Chad (Chaddy) up Rocker Knocker: Cousin Willard up Rocker Knocker: | |||||||||||

| Mine: A K5 up Rocker Knocker. I believe the guys name was Brian, I'm unsure if he's on this site. This one gives you a little more perspective as to how tippy you have to get to make this obstacle: Tom going up an obstacle called "suicide hill": The narrowed K5 attempting the Rockpile. I think someone said his name was Dave Cowley (sp?), I have no idea if he's on this site: Stephen making the Rockpile look easy: | |||||||||||

| All the rest are of mine. Having front and rear springs that wrap pretty bad and not running shocks gets you this: Rock Chucker, an optional obstacle on Metal Masher: Some optional obstacle on Metal Masher. There is a deep hole at the left side of the ledge and I was pretty close to putting the truck on its side here when the rear driver tire didn't want to climb while everything else did: This trail is called Green Day and is in Area BFE. This is a side obstacle that was tough because my wheelbase makes you climb two ledges at once: Coming down the same obstacle, suspension is completely flexed out and the rear driver tire leaves the ground a little: | |||||||||||

I decided to stop work on the 4-link and just throw the leaves back on to make sure I could make it to EJS. I ended up having to sorta throw everything back together: The u-bolts wouldn't sit vertically because the link brackets interfered with them. They were tight but they looked goofy The shock mounts had to go to create clearance for link brackets and I didn't bother to put new ones on (which was fine for trail riding and sucked on the roads to and from trails) The exhaust needs to be redone to clear the truss/links in the rear and I had to weld the mufflers back onto the rusty/craptacular exhaust that I have to run on this trip I did fix the clutch linkage (it used to fall out fairly often) and add the rear fender skins. The clutch linkage didn't fall out, the axle tubes didn't spin, and really nothing went wrong on this trip so I can't complain  |
