Tunnel in Rowe MA. Completed


Summary:

Tunnel road Rowe MA. Great day with a couple guys from Western Mass 4x4. Large rocks and a lot of rock faces. Was awsome to try to keep up with the jeeps they where impressed with the TB. Deffently need to look in to a locker after this run. Hoping that more TBs will join me next time. This is a local road (yea weird uh).

I love the people power to stay off the tree, I dont know how many times I have just used a little of that to keep a rig from some expensive damage. Well Done.

The Tb did much better then others we have brought on the same road. :thumright: Can't wait to get him back out, his attitude towards wheeling is awesome...it's kinda like this.. :woot:

Oh, and thanks for the comments on the jeep, mines the big grey beast.. :fro:
