This thread will remain open, but to let everyone know we do not tolorate this BS here at YotaTech, two members in this thread have been given a 30 day time off period.

Chris & I did not start up this forum for this kind of drama.
There are other forums for this type of stuff.
Chris, I, and the rest of the Staff will not tolerate it here at all

Thnx for the compliments
I use a digital rebel, 17-85mm ef-s, & a polarizer.
I think it's 6.3 megapixels.

Hey jeff, (cubuffrunner) why didn't you make it to this years jam? I think a lot of us were hoping to see your rig in person.

I've been extremely busy this summer. I got married, were are trying to sell our place, and were suposed to be moving that weekend, but things keep falling out. I have been at home a total of two weekends since April. I also have a major Power steering leak that has been a problem when on the trail. I have been replacing piece by piece to try to pinpoint the problem. I ran Jenny creek a couple of weeks ago and left it in 2 wheel drive and no issues, but when I ran Boulder Carnage my entire engine bay was saturated in ATF, I'm worried about an engine fire and I don't want to spew 2 quarts of ATF on the trail, it wouldn't look good on us to be leaving oil trails. I think I have narrowed down the leak to a fitting that I have been waiting for, the same fitting Steve Hunt was waiting for or missing.

Talking Great Perspective Brian!!!!!!

Hey Brian,
Your pic of Iron Chest shows great perspective on the "chunkyness" of the trail. After taking trail pictures for several years- we have found that it is difficult to really grasp true understanding of rocks, obstacles and camber in photos. Great job- That is one that I would like to show my family so they have some understanding.

What a Trip!

Well, I did tell yall that I would log on.
You're stuck now! heh heh.
I did say that I would sign on as Dogface, but dang,
Andy just kept calling me Inga!

Just wanted to send a GIANT thanks to everybody
for the trip, the comraderie, the teamwork, the spotting,
the photos... AND for those of you who hung out with us at Jet's.

I think I speak for myself and BAD-ANDY when I say that we will
definitely be coming along next year!
Yall seem like a great bunch, and we really had a great time.
Although I can already see that there will be some changes made
to BOTH Runners. (not sure if we will bring one or two)
No high places for me- can't drive in high places! My brain shuts down
and I forget how to use the gas pedal, only brakes work in high places!


Great pics so far. Can't wait to see some more.
Sorry, Most of mine are going to have to wait (35mm).
I WILL have a good digital next time.
I will probably post some Friday, as time permits.

Brandi, how's the truck running?
Ric, Go Army! Still waiting on that foot race!
Brian/Oanh, great pics, please email or pm some of those landscapes.
Anna, girl, you are a riot!
Doug/Darcie, great time! Could you send one of the "rat pack" pics?

To the boys at the BBQ,,,
What can I say? Great time. I think I hurt myself permanently with all the laughing! Steve, next time I will bring some gas x.

Like I said before, it all comes out in this thread that feelings were hurt, but it wasn’t 100% clear that it was so hostile during the event. I took a very positive feeling back from the week, and I really wish all felt the same way.
Casey, it was really great meeting you (dude). You made a good first impression.

I've known Steve for several years now, so I'm familiar with how he gets sometimes. And usually I just joke with him to help him realize he's taking himself too seriously and getting offensive.

But I'm glad it didn't spoil your time. And truth be told, it didn't spoil my time, either.

Yeah, it's funny how it looks much more intimidating downhill than up. Someday I'll have to ride along with the big rigs - I'd love to take pics of them grinding over giant boulders

Hiya Inga! Glad you made it to the boards! It was really good meeting you and Andy.

Just slap some sliders on there, and you'd be good to go on Iron Chest or Chinamen's, in my opinion. You might bang your bumpers, so you might not like that, but we can fix that!

In the next day or two when I get a CD in the mail from Hef, I will post all of the pics "The Club" has on the Club site. We still need a name but we have a home.

Holy Cross, Cleveland Rock, Iron Chest, Chinamans

Yep, I hope to have sliders on in the next month. Not too worried about the bumpers since they'll be replaced eventually.

I was on the super large jpg setting. The files are around 3-5MB each and 3000x2000 pixels. The highest setting is RAW, but those are 11-13MBs each and you have to do a lot of post-processing.
