ADH8796 · 07-25-2007, 06:13 AM

If I can make it out there I just to say hey I will considering it's only 45min. from my house.

colsoncj · 07-25-2007, 08:23 PM

So today I pulled the runner in the garage to do some pre-wheeling checks... found something i didnt like.... a broken timing chain guide and a complimentary groove in my timing cover...

never fear, I will have the thing fixed and back together by friday. (fingers crossed)

All joking aside... thats no good. Also, remind me to keep an eye on my engine temp gauge... radiator didn't happen...

All done and ready to go, w/ new guides.

Injohneer · 07-26-2007, 07:37 PM

zat wuz fazt.

Looks like Matt is a no-go, $ and time stand in the way. I did offer a ride if he gets off work though.

Exeter · 07-26-2007, 08:54 PM

So Cory is arriving 4-6 ish... who else is coming and when?

The big question is where? I have one buddy coming with me, so we'll bring a cooler full of food for the two of us. I assume you're bringing the grill?

colsoncj · 07-26-2007, 09:09 PM

We have access to a grill. its BYO food and drink. If you can bring a little charcoal or charcoal lighter thats good, if not, no biggie.

My crew and I are arriving 4-6 ish, as is Hans and Gary. It would be best to call me or hans when you get close to cass, or when you reach cass. i think everyone has my cell number. I could give you exact directions, but I dont know for sure. if anyone needs anything, call me.

That was even with a partial day at work....

Too bad about matt, hopefully he can ride along.

I'll pick up some charcoal and lighter fluid and stuff after I change my c/v boot tomorrow morning

We'll probably be down there the same time... its about an hour from here and Eric (my passenger) gets off 4-ish. I'll give you a call.

Cargun · 07-27-2007, 08:33 AM

If all else fails, wander on down to Turner Bend store and I'm sure someone from our group will find you... eventually.

ADH8796 · 07-27-2007, 09:19 AM

What trails are yall running? It looks like I might be able to come down for a ride along if nothing else but I can probably wheel a little if I'm carefull. We will see I'm just thinking.

colsoncj · 07-27-2007, 09:22 AM

Dunno.... Anthony, you got my cell #?

ADH8796 · 07-27-2007, 09:23 AM

Yep I do so I'll call you if I make it down.

I might be bringing my new runner though cause I'm trying to sell my current one.

Injohneer · 07-27-2007, 01:20 PM

Jen and I will be headed out about 6-7 tonight... I get out of here at 4 and get to go pack and she gets off at 5ish but probably not home until closer to 6...

colsoncj · 07-28-2007, 10:47 PM

It was a good trip. It was filled with lots of body damage, a rollover, and a few almosts for Hans and I. Keith's truck did awesome, as did John's truck, which continually shows how well a almost stock truck can do with a daring driver. Gary also found out how capable his rig was, following Hans and I down some pretty hairy trails. Also got to watch a buggy and a jeep run pure hell and got it on video, including the carnage. I'm sure I'm missing some things, and hopefully we'll get some pics and a damage report soon.

colsoncj · 07-29-2007, 12:59 PM

Heres some pics of the new damage to my truck I took after unloading it:

Rear corner from trying to roll it and being saved by a tree:

Tree lovin:

Roll-over and tree loving:

ADH8796 · 07-29-2007, 01:21 PM

Wish I could have made it sounds like I missed out on all kinds of fun.

colsoncj · 07-29-2007, 01:39 PM

Oh and I forgot, in a pinch chainsaw bar oil can double as t-case fluid, and to get it into the t-case, you cut a small round hole in the lid, stick a straw in it and squeeze it like a juice box squirting the fluid in the t-case.... now you know

Cargun · 07-29-2007, 04:59 PM

The most impressive thing I see in that set of pictures is a vehicle in your garage. And it's a running one!

Hey, this time your tail light saved you from rolling over, as opposed to saving me from rolling over. I don't know if you can count that as a full flop... more like a 3/4 flop. Did you get a reading off of the inclinometer coming out of there or were you too busy clinching your butt cheeks?

I missed the lovin' there by the fuel door, did that happen on the last trail?

Oh, and I forgot to mention you crunched your passenger side rocker some crawling over that big log on the final run.

Amazing as it may be... other than Gary kissing a pair of trees with his passenger side front fender, Cory's was the only damage the entire trip! My truck is actually in better shape now than it was when I left home thanks to some impromptu duct taping

And the camping food finally completed it's journey Sunday morning. I had people coming over to look at the house so I went to Taco Bell for lunch and plugged up their toilet

I didnt get a look at the inclinometer... Will and I were thinking about it after the fact and thought we should have got a picture of it.

The lovin by the fuel door is a two part, most if it was from floppin, but it was finished off by a tree.

I will say kudos to Gary, he did a great job not getting any damage. And the duct tape work on Hans' is quite impressive. I had some nice duct tape work on my front drivers, but that was before knocking everything off with a tree.

Exeter · 07-29-2007, 07:18 PM

Here's my pics... no particular order...

Well, Gary didn't damage anything that wasn't already damaged. I think this trip accounted for the 3rd and 4th impacts that passenger front fender has sustained. And I forgot about Keith's early run-in with a tree. But I think that was on purpose in order to get some symmetry going on, right?

When you laid it over in that mudhole I don't think you damaged your rear fender much. All it did was bend some of the rust down by the chrome trim. All that denting of solid sheetmetal had to have been tree-related.

We should modify the inclinometer so it alerts you to a roll. There would be nothing funnier than flopping your rig and then having a flashing "stability" light come on and a female voice saying "Please return your vehicle to the upright and locked position in preperation for landing".
