Default No Crawling at Cunningham Falls

'Cause it all looks like this......went up there yesterday to check out the ice....almost eveything has either ice from the creek, or a glaze of it from rain and a little snow recently.

If you come up my way my girlfriend and I would be more than happy to take ya'll around to the local waterfalls to see them frozen.

Hey Kane: I was watching Off Road Adventures tonight on the Outdoor channel and they were covering the trip that you were on with the FJ Cruizer. It was pretty cool to see the video version of what I always look at in the magazines.

I was thinking Swallow Falls Haqs got to be pretty cool looking right now.
We camped up there fall 07 - it was realy fun out there after the summer crowd before it got super cold.


I thought about taking my truck with me that day just for some poser pic's for you guys and I also thought about studded RC tires!

When it first got really cold up here the falls were nicely frozen. Then it got warm and metled everything. I am going to drap the girlfriend back up there maybe this weekend for some more pictures.(hopefully the last coupe of days of higher temps, only high 20's, havent melted alll of the ice back off) I'll post them up if we go.

Yeah, those kids are DA's!!!

well... i tried a few different screws, and they just didnt stay in.
they just backed out, or didnt go in far enough.

so, i got some 3/8" long #4's or something like that, the little ones.
and put them in the middle of every other center tread block in my lizards.
once in the tire, and the nut on, there is about 3/16's of thread showing on top of the tread blocks.

I only took one picture when i started the 1st tire, but you get the idea...
and they make a hell of a racket going across the concrete.
I didnt have any ice to test them on at home, but we'll see if i cant put it out on the pond by work.

I dont know AJ, I think those are a little long too. Maybe cut them in half and cover the tire with them. Keep us posted on how they work!

thats too much work.
since you have so much free time, i'll drop them off at your house to do.
I'll even buy you enough of the bolts to do your own set for doing mine.
