Man I wish we had a s|removethispart|t eating grin smiley, but even that would not express how pleased I am with the ride. Even being a Kick on 37's I was the BABY of this bunch.... ahhhhh, back home in the world of V-8 buggies and cab trucks, with enough HP to pull over a house and tires as tall as my hood 8).
The entire day was made up with me pointing my Liberty Overland Kick at a little tougher of an obstacle and it tackling it every time. The pinnacle moment of the day is when (with an AWESOME spotter) the Kick made short work of a 6-7' vertical ledge that I thought was impossible 8). The truck was stable through everything I pointed it towards, I was amazed .
Pics coming as soon as I can get them uploaded.

Very cool to see it out wheeling. Now SEND ME THE FOOTAGE!!! hehe Oh check the water cooler

WOW!!!!

Thanks!!! I am still hyped up about the ride after a wrestless night of sleep... Yes I had a dream about wheeling :sleepy: ;D . Dont worry Mike, it will still be driveable when you get here next week. We are going to another play area next weekend for a little more play time. Greg, I will send you some footage after next weekend. We only got about 5-10 min max yesterday.

Oh yea, I forgot the Carnage report....
One cracked drivers side mirror housing (need a fold away) and a couple of scratched in the sliders and bumpers. :laugh:
I landed HARD on my Trail Tough Bumpers and Shrockworks sliders a couple of times and left nothing but a scratch. Coming out of those rockpiles with no body damage made them worth every penny. I took a shot to the passenger side slider that I thought I had easily damaged the slider and the door but it held strong. Then when I fell off the rock doing a video tape for Greg, I tagged the rear bumper with the weight of the entire vehicle free falling and once again.. nothing but a scratch. These things are built TOUGH!

(I'll try to get pics at lunch)

Certainly looks like you made it up that wall much more gracefully then the yellow buggy did... Looking good Zig...
-Eric
p.s. I just noticed the windshield is missing something! I wonder what else I forgot? ;)
-

I thought about that on the ride home. No worries, I have been sporting the Zukiworld T's and sweat shirts everytime I'm out in it ;) Can you do one in a Dark Grey (matching the camo.. even better an urban camo one)?

Thanks!

Looks like a good time and a great crew to wheel with!!! Glad you got to get out and play!!

Zig have you considered an ultimate adventure entry? I know Id love to see the holy grail of trackkicks in it.

I have considered it, but if I took two weeks off of work to wheel, I would rather do it with friends than in a magazines ride. I am going to try and hit many different riding areas this year and really test her out.

very true, I just remember seeing a decently capable rig last year (lime green) that didnt do well and I was disappointed haha I know it could have done better. I couldnt see myself doing it either, although some/ most of those guys are probably nice and fun, just way more fun wheeling with friends.

My good friend Jonathan did it last year... Take a good look at the Tundra in the pics above and them revisit the video and magazine coverage of last years adventure ;) He enjoyed it but it was alot of work for him trying to keep up with the damage.

Didn't he keep breaking his rearend
-
He trashed two or three ring and pinions, the wildwood brakes gave him alot of trouble and then there was the body damage (that he does not care about). He won the Hobart Carnage Award for going almost the entire trip with no sleep (dirve all day and work on the rig at night).
He got home and replaced EVERYTHING in the drivelint form the tranny back with stronger stuff. This ride was his maiden voyage with all of his new stuff in it.
