Reiter, WA 2009

So, this should be a dump for all the reiter pics taken over this summer...

6/13 me and the broski headed up in his truck for the day, hopin to find BBP and fillsrunner4...but...all things dont come out as planned, so we messed around and got lost and almost stuck, etc. a couple times...then went through this supposedly "nasty" mud pit that EVERYONE gets stuck in and just mosey in, mosey out a couple three times, then on the way out from that area, it was like 1:30 in the afternoon, we run in to fillsrunner in 2 awesome sas'ed pickups, and wheel the rest of the day with them...they where super hard on stuff and ended up...well...youll see the pics then ill explain the rest of the story...

The almost stuckagge...gettin earfuls of "We CANT DO THIS!!!!" Then got distracted by the phone ringing while tryin to turn around...lol...ended in this, but got out with no damage...







Random scenery pics...







So then phil pulls up on a hill as a super steep angle, then goes to back off and catches a rock, resulting in this:





^^ That truck was the cleanest ive seen for a while before that happened...lol apparently it was a 2wd...then sased w/ running gear from a flipped truck...5.29's, single 4.7 case...anyways...

Headed up to "The Wall" which you cant drive to can only walk cause people threw garbage off it...looks over the small town of Index...





Phil:


Mudhole where we "shouldve" got stuck...called the tank trap...



Then we where headed over to some more trails after phils white truck sheared the hub studs of the passenger side, goes to take off from where we parked, is still in 4wd, pushes him off the road right into a stump resulting in this:



And we where the only ones that had a spare...LOL one 31" spare looks funny with 3 37"s

Sheared studs: (after the spare was on):



SO sorry i didnt get any pics of this white truck...it was badass...dual cased, 37's, bobbed, trussed, flatbelly, etc etc. it was awesome...hopefully we'll wheel with em again, once they get repaired LOL...




Anyways, Reiter pictures, keep em comin....

Ah man, fo rizzle??! Man, I wanted to hit up Wall too. I wonder if the Lake Isabella trails gonna open 'cause I read somewhere its closed down too. THAT looks like fun!!

There was a bunch of guys workin the trails that day doin rehab on Grumpy, I think... so I'd hope that if they did a little more crack down on some of the yahoos it help to keep it open.

Nothins better than a freshly cleaned and washed truck with some new mud on it. looks badass thatway with some real clean some real dirty

As for the isabel trail that one too most likely will never open again. Reiter is slowly closing all its trails or at least all the best ones. Very sad and pathetic that they are doing so. I could rant for decades about how hypacritical and nieve some of those people are (the ones wanting the trails closed) Best I hold my tounge dont want to get banned or be labeld a "Potty Mouth" like I already have been

Man that sucks, I really wanted to Isabella too. I had read that it was closed down due to washouts. Oh well, maybe one day!

Reiter Pit Saturday August 1st

Well, me and Blackbastard went out the 1st of August and had a great time! It was pretty hot and REALLY dry! Mud was scarce but I did find a "muck" hole and I dropped into it and sunk up to the winch. All in all it was a good day!!!







Got a little to close to a stump! lol!


See the "muck" line!!

Had to pull the tire off 'cause I kept hearing this horrid squeeling noise. I think I pick up a rock in the backing plate or something. Pulled the pads out and whatever it was fell out.

Hmmmmm, V6 calipers...sooooo nice!!!! Rebuilt these junkyard beauties myself and saved some serious $$$!!!
