YeP sir, mine is a OHV, but that doesn't mean it shouldn't be safe. N in my case the traction bar, keeps it safe, I think if the blocks where going to be a problem for me, they would have been already. Someday I plan to put some 4 or 6 inch superflex springs in the back, than I will get one or both blocks out of the rear. Don't get me wrong here. I'm not sayin stacked blocks are a good thing, n I'm not recommending them to anyone. Cuz more than likely, they will selfdestruct and kill u, ur truck, and anyone within a 50 mile radius.

So I exaggerated a tad. Lol.
I was just making sure people understand, that if they don't know how to do it right, bad things will happen.

sometimes you just gotta do what you can to get out there and enjoy it, not everyone can afford to build everything the so called "right" way.

The driver of the Ford had died. It was a pretty ugly mess. I got to see the body. >_< Lucky me. (Not.) I honestly think it was not an accident. Reading the news report, from what they say happened, it didnt look like it.

The highway cuts through part of the base. There was kind of a T in the road. The Ford was driving from Left to Right, there were two Strykers. One had made the turn to the left and the other had smashed into the Ford. Now it was said there was someone who failed to yield.

But the way the stryker was facing, it would have been going right, the opposite way of the other Stryker. And the only thing TO the right would be straight into town.

And failing to yield.. well how fast was he trying to make a 90 degree turn? The Stryker drove almost completely over the Ford. It was a huge mess there. I'm not entirely sure how they got the man's body out of the Ford but I was absolutely shocked when I saw the whole accident.

Anyways.. thats enough of an explanation. They closed down the highway completely for like 2 miles of the accident shortly after I passed it. I thought it was a pretty terrible wreck. On the detour I discovered alot of places I would love to wheel. But seeing as how that Ford just got smashed, I didn't feel like taking my chances wheelin' on military ground. I've made that mistake once.. and well, MP's in the middle of no where are kind of frightening.

But proves my point that a tank could easily own your bumpers.

This was last year. I slid into a ditch on the side of the road when I was trying to get past a parked Chevy. Seriously, who parks in the middle of the road? Was winching myself out and decided to take a picture. Cameraphone picture so its bad quality.



Well those are the only pictures I could find atm. I have alot of really good ones on another website. But its too much work to try to post those. :P

Actually I didn't make it in.

Its basically trentched out the whole way and at the end it gets bad.

Usually you can pick up speed through the easier mud and get through the hard stuff. But this was right after I churned it all up with the excavator, and then I went in the deep end. I didn't get my rear tires all the way in before I got stuck.
