Arizona Dictionary, Martinez Edition I.

Here are some more pics. Hope you like them. I will post more Martinez and then some Woodpecker before it is all done.

TIGHT


SILLY


WHEELIE Yeah, only a little one, but Jeff mashed the gas after this and it was a lot of fun.


CHEESE


ROCK GARDEN There was some confusion on this definition before, but I assure you this is a rock garden instead of a gravel bed or place with rocks.

And some more...

MARMOT Here I thought it would be too dry and too low for this critter, but we saw him. Heck, I followed him all the way down from Colorado.


HUNG But only for a little bit. A back and fill got him through without the strap.


SPANK Steve was the only one to clean Yellowbelly again. Jeff and Casey did it with some front loading and the Cheesemobile got owned.


TRAVEL This is one of the best IFS travel shots I have ever seen.

Just for old times sake. It'll be laying on the floor before you know it. I wanted to cut it off today. I'm so ready for this.

No way I'll make it to March. It will be sooner.

What is it, anytime after the 13th?

The sooner you do it, the more likely it is I can come help.

I LOVE that trail I had lunch underneath the overhang you can see in the background of the picture. (trying to keep my pale, northwest skin from boiling off in the sun)

I am enjoying seeing your photos. It brings back memories and gets me hyped for AZRocks 2005

The last of the stuff should be here by Wed, then I shoot the TIG stuff off to Stubbs, he fires it back and I'm ready to rock Feb. 1 or after.

The new plan is for me to drop the IFS, do all the cutting and grinding and you guys come and help with instaling all the new stuff.

I have to go to Harbor Freight and get 4 of those bigh huge jackstands.

Just wait Chris, there are some better ones from the Wire. I hope to find and post as many as possible to read when we get that crap off the truck.

Steve has proven competent at wheeling IFS and has no reason to keep it. His truck is reliable as it sits and soon there will be no worry of joint destruction.

Hey Steve
Thanks for posting one of your flex shots w/the new setup you're running.

I was about to start searching once BigFlygt called that shot "one of the best IFS shot he has ever seen"

I would hope yours would also be "one of the best", shoot I'll post one of mine from last week with the "unflexable" SAWs- looks about the same as Jeff's

I also always said that if I ever broke and axle, it was history. I broke an axle.

I dunno - the alphabet will just change a little...

Off-road zen may only be achieved when in a white Toyota. Until the color is right, contentment with mediocracy must be endured.


Steve, just razzin' ya d00d

The silver truck is custom aluminum.

Jeff's pic has more stuff and I think more droop.

I will add more this aft, I am having major computer issues.

Considering I was at both physical limits.....

They are either the same or I have more. Probably the same though.

But really who cares. You IFS weenies can fight it out, I'm moving on.

IFS weenies......Ahem.

Its takes real skill to wheel a product that is not quite up to the task, and make it out unbroken. Unfortunatly, I'm not quite there yet....My foot is still heavy on the throttle.


IFS weenies.........
