These are a few pictures of John Wessel's performance on the sledge hammer trail. The
fact that he had virtually no idle speed, no front locker and no crawler gears makes it a
spectacular performance through the trail.
 |
Up the hill, right behind Chris's truck. Pretty rocky, the whole adventure
??? |
|
| He 's driving 35" off road super swamper tires on his
custom 16.5" rims. The offset of the rim locates it virtually all on the outside of
the big brake drum. |

|
 |
All of the time every one of the three Unimog off roaders had plenty of
spectators around. |
|
| A well known resting position for Unimogs. It always seems
comfortable to have one leg at an elevated position. |

The next 3 pictures show one very complicated climb where a wheel slipped off a rock and
the rear axle dropped accidentally on a rock. To get out of this we had to lift the axle
with a jack and pile a bunch of rocks underneath one rear tire.
 |
That's at the beginning off the climb, where one wheel slipped off a rock
and high centered the rear axle. |
|
| One more step till the wheel slips and we have to go to get
the car jack to lift the axle. |
 |
|
 |
You can clearly see the passenger rear wheel is in the air. A lousy rock
just wouldn't stay and rolled to the side. |
