Where did your Jeep take You this Week?

Took the JT out to waipio valley yesterday. Didn’t realize that the road is 20* slope in some spots and averages 12-15* almost the whole way down.

Yeah this is a pretty cool spot... and it was damn near empty. Only had a few local surfers and maybe 20 tourists all day. It was the emptiest I’ve ever seen it there. I also like it because there’s no cell service, it’s peaceful, and just a great spot to chill and drink beer all day.

Butt o meter

It gets tippy on The Rim. The first time I did it I got scared. After that I got a clinometer. Now my brain can tell my ass that we're not going to die.

Don't know the answer to that. I know even pinned at 30° by brain can make the rest of my body, especially my ass meter, calm down. My buddy has a TJ that's built up pretty good. His clinometer goes to 40°. He claims to have pinned it.
Long story short. After my first time on the Rim, I was seriously shaken. I spoke to a pilot and he told me how in training they get blindfold and then try to level out the plane. They're never right, based on their instincts, or ass o meter. They're taught to trust their gauges over their body.
With the clinometer I actually had fun on the Rim this time. Just a quick glance, and I knew I was fine.

Actually , during flight training you learn a little about instrument flying where you have this hat gismo called a hood that limits your vision outside . I liked it!

I was actually considering the trail dash 2 because it has these guages. This looks like its a lot more reasonably priced. It would be nice to have a visual reference just to reassure myself from time to time. Wheeling with my buddy Jim in his JLU I was amazed at what the actual numbers were compared to how it felt.

Exactly. It's crazy doing this trail with and without a gauge. Was so much more fun the second time when a quick glance could give me the confidence to carry on.
