COMPLETED: Laconia, NH Trail

by **steveroche** » Sat Jun 30, 2012 6:21 pm

This past Tuesday I was up in New Hampshire staying on Lake Winnipesaukee and me and a few buddies decided to go to a trail out in Laconia just about 30 minutes away. Here is a compilation video of all the clips that we got from the day...with a little clip in the middle I threw in for one of my friends as a joke. We had 4 vehicles, my Trailblazer, a TRD FJ Cruiser with 1.5in of lift, 32in tires and steel front and rear bumpers, a 2012 Jeep Wrangler JK built by AEV with a 2in lift and 35's, and a 2 door wrangler with 32's. I apologize for the shaky video...being this was taken on my iPhone and held by a person and not a mount, it wasn't the smoothest video taking.
I have one more video to post but I haven't received it from my friend yet, he has the video of me going into the mud pit and then winching out. He said he will get it to me tonight so I will try to upload it later in the evening.

Where in Laconia is that trail?? I live about an hour away from Laconia and I'm always looking for new spots.

Does the FJ have two driving lights on the back of his rear bumper? That looks a bit silly.

I didn't see any of the wheeling, because I was looking up at the trees (with the camera) for the witch....

I shouldn't joke too much though as I've never tried to video while driving.

I do handlheld video out the window when I don't need both hands on the wheel, but it's image stabilized. For through the window shots, I recommend a mount. Even my droid's car mount has a hole for the camera lens.

Yea the fj has two lights on the back, his reverse lights are basically unusable now with that bumper so we put those on so he can at least see behind him. I wasn't video taping, my friend was in the passenger seat and she couldn't keep it from shaking I guess...
