Independence / Patriot 6-4-11




Dropping in Indy. Trail was in great shape! Toughest I've seen it in along time.




My turn down Bunker Hill. Took me alot more than 1 try on the right hand turn. My power steering box must be going out. It's super hard to turn right, turns left no problem.


Got to the top of Mike's 49" tire



First section of Patriot



Not bad rear flex for being leaf sprung! I also make it out of A-Hole with no issues.






I also took every line possible on Coffin Rock. I thought I had the far left line at the last second, the rear tire would slip off of the Coffin. Finally took the right line and had to pull winch cable to get out.


The difference between a 39.5" tire and 49" tire 





I made it as far as I felt comfortable on the exit of Patriot. Once the wheelstand got that big and my passenger rear tire still had a 4' undercut ledge to try and climb, I was ready for the winch cable.
