I am not sure what happen as Lil Sami pulled out of the driveway.

This was a lot of fun thanks to the people who came.

[Bronco-in-Training]

Looks like a blast. What caused little sami to get pulled over?

[Back-n-Black]

His throttle cable linkage adapter pulled out and stopped him dead just as the Yakima county mounty pulled up behind him........... on comes the bubble gum machine, out goes the ass chewin'. :banghead:

[Fish]

Great pics! I hope the ticket wasn't to bad Lil Sami. Talk about bad timing?

[nevada]

its hard to tell by the pics...but were ALL the rigs able to make the hill?

was a ticket issued? and what for? cuz his cable came off thats :bs: if i ever heard it..

[waycrazy]

I am sure that bucket of bolts is a rolling citation. The cop probably didnt have to look to hard to find something to pick on.

[TJ40]

No citation. He knew the cop. Was told to fix it or he would call a wrecker.

[Bronco-in-Training]

On the YVtruckclub site this post has a youtube link showing some video. Who owns that Blazer? It's pretty cool.

[Bronco-in-Training]

I saw the video. It's cool! What are the specs on that Blazer?

[Ceg]

That incase others didn't see it.

That Blazer was Bad! :headbang:

[Bronco-in-Training]

Ya, I was impressed. My dreams for the Bronco someday. Too bad is wasn't a Ford.

[Ceg]

I missed getting video of the first time he was climbing, no, Jumping up the hill climb. That rocked. I was told the rig was made to jump sand dunes. I think it would do great and not land as hard as my old Jimmy did.

[Bronco-in-Training]

Ya, it looked as though it landed pretty softly. I think I'd like to make my Bronco into a prerunner. That way the ttb front end is more in its element.

[PHANTOM 309]

Heres a few from Roller's camera.

George turnin' Bigfoot loose, makin it look easy. We call it Bigfoot because we always hear about this jeep but it is rarely seen :laughing6: Hands down one of the most solid built jeeps that I have seen.
