A forest riding I go.......

This is Louis, my brother's overactive friend.
He runs his truck on propane so it has more power at ALL angles.
Then he attacks logs laying down.........
and logs on their way to lying down, with his help.
He is a true friend to the environment.


My brother Bruce and I with the his BAJ (Big Ass Jeep).

So I had to learn something about my brother's hobby as I come back home to spend time with the family. So I learn the complicated sport of mudding and log/rock climbing. I learn the terms--like my brother telling me he had 38's, but now he has 44's, but some day he would like 48's or 52's. The number being how tall his tires are, and therefore the size of the logs he can run over. Dana 60's are good (type of transmission axles) but military top loading Rockwells are better. He once let me drive. I did fine going through massive mudholes, but I ruined the front axle CV joint thingy. He wasnt too happy at this as he spent 3 hours one day finding the parts to fix it and then 4 hours the next day ripping everything apart and replacing the broken parts (as I mostly slept at home). He then he wrecked the BAJ that same day even worse than I could. Poor guy.
