RE: Body Mount Question
The Mounds ORV Adventure Park http://www.geneseecountyparks.org/mounds.htm... This is the only ORV place in my area of Michigan... Anything else is a good three hours away. This is about an hour and change from my house, and I had a BLAST!!! I had never been there, and had not been wheeling in way too long... My little stocker did things that surprised even me...
Topography is very hilly, lots and lots of trees, with the big scramble area in the front... That's mostly sand, I believe, under normal circumstances, but since we had a lot of rain, and it went back to subzero, that was mostly solid... There were some spaces where we broke through the ice after it got warmer in the day. Lots of various XJ,ZJ, CJ, TJ, and YJ there, a bunch of Suzuki Samurai with another club, and some big trucks with another another club... It was interesting the way it all worked, as I didn't have a CB< I was just following people, which is what we did... We'd be chilling out at the pavilion snacking, and all of a sudden, a couple Jeep would take it upon themselves to go into the park. BOOM, mad rush to the Jeeps, and we were off... Everyone travels in a group, but we split, till you can end up in a little group of one or two Jeeps... I was following a stock ZJ, same tires, so I figured if he could get through it, I could... Did some mad crazy stuff, it was insane...
And now, without further ado, here's a pic of my stuck...
I'm trying to get them to send me some better ones... This is down a hill, my front end is buried at the bottom of it in a hole broke through the ice, my drivers side wheel is totally underwater. The seatbelts would not pull down because the couterweight was too out of whack... To be standing out the sunroof like that, I was standing straight up with my feet under the gas and brake pedals... Align it in your mind so that the little cut off saplings in the foreground are straight up and down, and you'll see what I mean... I know there's some front shots, just waiting for them to be sent to me...
Gotta get to work, will post more about damage, and hopefully more pics later.
