Here are just a few of the photos I took.
I was alone in my Jeep so did not get too much of a chance to take pics.

Also just want to bing something up. Not sure if it is the right place but it has to do with the Clewiston ride.
Just my observation on this trip was that it was not as organized as the last one we did at Clewiston. I liked the idea of breaking up in smaller groups
At least the group I was in did not wait for everyone (I am not referring in the trail themselves). In the Trail Tim , Jim and anyone else who helped out were great helping us small Jeepers out of the jam .
The issue I saw was on the way to the lake Jeeps with mechanical issues were left behind. :tdown: I actually went back and forth from the lake to the trail entrance to show the way to the Jeeps being towed. By the time I got back to the lake the final time everyone was leaving in a hurry to get to Sonny's. :tdown: We ended up staying behind attempting to fix a broken Clutch hydrolic hose on Adrian's Jeep (Red TJ with Roof Rack). Thanks Dave (LordJeffson) for the Brake fluid and for hanging arround a bit and checking up on us later.

I think along with the rules of no drinking no littering and soon we should make sure all Jeep are accounted for in the group.

Anyways even though it was really flooded out there and most of us got stuck I had a really great time!!!
I will be posing up the video I took once I get it in youtube.

3 guys working on getting the clutch hose leak patched up with Ducttape


After we left Adrian's Jeep at the Walmart parking lot we headed to McDonalds.

Moderator can you combine the 2 Clewistin pics threads into one. I was creating one at the same time he created this one.

sbmonkey and stuckzilla are going back tomorrow to bring Adrian's Jeep home.

[Mudweiser]

Big Big thanks goes out to Tranydr. When he pulled me out or should i say draged out about 3/4 mile, through the water without spinning a wheel. That diesel has my full respect. Then he came to the rescue to what he thought was a fire with his extinguisher. Smoking clutch is what stoped me. Thanks to everyone had fun. I would do it again in a heart beat. Just remember If you are going to go wheeling with Tranydr, bring a pole, the fishing is great.

[RockTime]

well it is good to see that you made it home safe and sound sorry about your jeep. hope you get her fixed soon so you can get out there again.

Yes that is garbage (all though I hear some leaders accounted for their group), everyone should wait for each other (or @ least check in to see if U need them etc). That needs to be addresed as I have been in that position. Maybe numbers should be handed out on a big event/a lot of Jeeps etc. & turned back in.

A Jeep is very easy to drive w/out a clutch (I've done it towing a camper), kind of like driving a Semi where U don't need a clutch except to start/stop.

He must have a different issue in addition to the clutch hose because he was unable to get it started alomost like if the Clutch switch was not working.

[Rollbar]

Wow, Jeeps R getting fancy w/a Neutral safety switch. U could be right.....

Time out, momma just brought me Chocalate Ice cream

Actually, it's SEAmonkey...I haven't had the pleasure of meeting sbmonkey, but I'm sure he'd do the same though

[TiredPete]

He are the pictures I was able to take before the Winch Party started. After I got busy winching stuck jeeps I forgot about the camera.
Hey Rollbar, I am really looking forward to getting my synthetic gear after yesterday.

Good times people, it was nice to get out there in the Mud even as passenger. Enjoyed ragging and getting ragged on.

I just briefly looked at my pics, still have to do some conversion and put them in my personal album. Pics already posted look really nice.
Got to do the church and family thing today but I will do my best with time allowed.

Pics came out really nice, there are some nice ones of a Square Headlight Jeep (shame) ... yellow in color... who could that be. For sure he will have at least 5 go arounds at Jeep of the Month.

Btw, these pics will be reduced for posting but if anyone wants to make an enlargement out of these I will have the raw digital high resolution neg (very large in size) for around a month before I delete them.

So you want me to take the fun out of the video. It is mostly of you guys under Adrian's Jeep with the addition of some hill climbing.
By the way most ugly words came from you

Yup that 2 inch coil over spacers and my 31 inch tire did not cut it. I did alright considering all that muck.

oh don't i know it... that's why i want you to be careful with it - I have a reputation to uphold! Oh, wait...

and the only thing that would have helped you yesterday is a locker. I know my limited slip rear saved my bacon more than once yesterday...

that was i did not have any time to as fast as i would drag one out i had to drag out another.
but i can now

we did manage to retrieve all the vehicles out with minimal to no damage . all in our group listened and stayed together and made it home safely. you all earned in my :book:

i must say mrsig, fishallways, tired pete and bill from morris jeep parts (do not know his handle) also did very well and were also a big help!
if i missed someone else that also did well in our group i apologize i was very busy

[YellowSub2000]

I didn't do too bad myself, helped pull a couple out. I didn't get stuck until the last 100 meters of the trailer,...er canal. Jeep fell into a 3 foot hole, lucky I kept the intake out of the hole. I got stuck on the way out as I bottomed out. Should be a couple good pictures of it. (My tires did a great job.)


I'm just glad we didn't have to use my fire extinguisher. Between the grass, and the burn clutches.

[Skinner1]

yeah sub .....i found the hole u fell in to because i fell into it also ...............got alot of water in the jeep ....passenger side ...smelled like a swamp in there this morn .....

took me 3.5 hours .....to clean her up inside and out and underneith .....gonna take me a week and 2 cans of lysol to get that smell out though ................

Mr. Sig ........... sir ...oh mighty 1 . please no more river trails ...and airboat paths .....yesterday was nothin more then a wench party ...... and tranydoc............
square dancin around everybody laughin ................

[LadyJeffson]

I agree!! Those airboat trails were no fun in our rig...the pics will be cool though...anyways, poor Dave & others were walking around in water up to their b***s...no fun at all...it took us all morning/mid-afternoon to go 1 mile & then go back...those trails will be much better in the fall/winter...wish we could scout out the trails before we go on another big ride like that...feel bad for Miles & Jim, Lou's brother in law (in the swamp buggy) and those jeeps that didn't get stuck & had to rescue everyone left & right...also hope we can have better communication with the people on our trail so people don't get left behind...not cool

Thanks to everyone who bailed us out...again...

[Jim B]

Check out the reflection on the door.


There were two groups A and B. We were in the Ugly Bunch "A".


Beginning of the Wench Fest








Here is one of my favorites. If it was my Jeep I would blow this one up in a 12x18" frame.
There are others... definitely JOM stuff.
