Personal Notes from Tracy:
Rocxtreme History
I bought the jeep the day after Christmas in 97' with 109,000 miles on
the odometer. The vehicle was bone stock. The buildup started 1 month after
driving the jeep home. In the just over 2 years that I've parented this
vehicle, I have put almost 50,000 miles on her. I had a new motor put in at
120,000 miles because of bad bearings. I use the jeep as a daily driver for
my commute to work 80 miles a day.
Worst Stuck
My worst stuck in this vehicle had to be when I fell into the air hole
obstacle on the Independence Trail in Penrose, Co. I had been through the
obstacle twice before without problem, but this time the wrong line proved
to be very costly. I had no winch, which the trail sign clearly states, that
winch is required. I figured that I've done it before, I can do it again.
The hole took a big toll on the driverside body, but no glass was broken.
Rocxtreme was finally pulled/driven from the hole after a good deal of
hi-lifting and hand winching. Note: never run this trail without winch. I
still have the body damage to remind me to follow the posted signs.
