Someone misunderstood the assignment.

That is the understatement of the year lol. Surprisingly very little damage. He broke the mirror, and some minor scuffs, his slider did a good job.

A couple of night pics, note all the lights (bar, amber fog, ditch, grill & rock) cost about$150 using every black Friday discount and coupons. Gotta go through MarcoPolo's stuff and post more tomorrow.

Are those 33s? Did you clear all the steps no prob?

They are 35s but bfgs. He dragged skids in alot of spots, the license plate mount is pretty wrecked (but stayed on all the way home, we just gave it a whack back on at each fuel stop), and @BigMeatsBronco's custom tailpipe is frowny shaped now...but otherwise no problem!

So did any of you boondock while you were there or everyone pay for a hotel?

So many places I want to go, but hotels double the price of the trip.

Ballard RV park, 28 miles away to town, 34 miles to the event.

Gold bar waterfall thanx to MikeD. Should be some more coming. Special thanx to Mike for editing out my 2 previous failed attempts. W/manual transmission the only way to do it is to launch the way motorcycles do at the dragstrip...hold 4k rpm, then drop clutch and hammer down. If it doesn't get a hard enough bump you are done, so back tires gotta be back from the wall some. Thanks @Yamapro for awesome spotting, and coaching...could have never completed this on my own!

That's a fun one.
You Trifecta guys were too manly for me.

As a side note, the white 2dr BL my son wheeled is in fact a "unicorn" as @El Diablo called it. On the way home it used exactly HALF as much fuel as mine...maybe less! Simply unbelievable. I can't understand how it can possibly get that good of mpg! Yes I was towing a small trailer, and yes mine is lifted but DUDE!

I used to get crazy good mileage before the lift. These things hate lift and big tires. As it is I still averaged 17 over the entire trip, trails included.

It was great meeting everyone! Got home this afternoon, still getting unpacked. Here’s a few photos.

Great pictures, we have to make sure we get out next year. After all we stayed in same place. My cousin with the Jeep did take up a lot of my time.

Not all of us were that lucky, @BroncoTrail , @BigDiesel76 stayed until the end and got a pat on the back lol. I agree the smaller just us runs we’re more enjoyable. I felt bad for the Safari trail leaders, sure they didn’t want to lead 35+ people and good portion of them I think never used 4wd before, they didn’t sign up to baby sit people.

@66GT didn't even get that pat on the back, but he did get the privilege of carrying @trickydick's amazing new Gen 1 Bronco seats out to the parking lot and drive them to our airbnb. Lucky bastard.

 

[66GT]

Do all the 2 doors lift a tire like that?

Just sometimes.

 

[66GT]

Heck yeah! Put me down for the Moab 24 PNW convoy!

It was most excellent meeting you folks and putting the 6G to the test! I'll try to clean up my pics tomorrow and post some winners. We got home tonight, exactly one week and 2650 miles after picking it up at Granger. What a trip!

Epic way to break in your new basesquatch. Great to run some bucket list trails with you and Sam.

Looking forward to you moving out this way. We've got some great trails out here. Let me know when you get out here.

I'd recommend joining the PNW Broncos forum on FB (https://www.facebook.com/groups/4416177371821092/?ref=share&mibextid=NSMWBT) and the PNW Bronco Group here on B6G (https://www.bronco6g.com/forum/groups/the-pnw-bronco-group.33/) and start following the stuff we do out here.

That was big fun! I’m glad you guys hung in and decided to go, I had a blast! I’m still waiting on the last 3 videos to transfer then I’m sending everything over.
