That's what I'm talking about! Let's rock and roll!

Seriously now, are we going to point out Casey's gas problem?
I thought I would DIE when you turned your back on us.
I do believe it was the elk meat.
No more game meat for you boys! I'm thinking maybe next time I will bring in some TOFU!

Can't wait for your pictures! Hurry! Haven't seen a lot of the big rocks!

 

Brian takes great pictures. Heck, I have one on the wall.

Who is doing your sliders Brian?

Active charcoal underwear, I am telling you.

 

Does that come with the kilt?

 

heh... So you haven't seen the rear passenger quarter panel and tail end of the truck

 

oh crap, thats right. But its alright, it all adds character to the rig. Slap a front locker in there and a rear bumper and you'll be golden!

Yes, the elk meat definitelt did a number on me, but the mountain air is what really gets the gasses flowin. I had a hard time being in the truck with myself...

 

I have some good video of Ziad going over yoder rock. I agree he did quite well.

I just watched all the video. Everyone had a tough time on French Creek. Casey's axle broke when his front tires winched right into a rock with a lot of grip. He barley touched the gas and it snapped. His front end was really hooking up on obstacles though, it's setup nicely. Mine looked low and bouncy comparatively.

Scuba Steve. Sorry man but I didn't get video of you at your better moments like yoder rock. I remember you really doing well on that based on how your rig was running. I had an out of tape warning at the time.

The sound on the camcorder malfunctioned on the last few people going over yoder rock, I havn't figured out what's wrong with it yet. Mysteriously right before Steve's run on whale rock. He drove up whale rock in about 20 seconds with ease. Unbelievable.

Jim, Ziad, and I think Casey drove perfect clean lines on the double slab. It took me a few attempts to get it right. My sway-a-ways look like their beat.

 

excellent pictures ya'll. Glad everyone had fun and stayed safe.
Dale, your truck looks good in those pics!!

 

What do you mean by that?

Have you ever reubuilt them? How many miles do you have on them? I'm wondering if mine need a rebuilding too. Just wondering how you can tell.

John

 

Good pics, wish that I could have made it. I'm already planning for next year.

 

Awesome pics, wish I could have been there. Once again, a thread that makes me miss CO and want to move back!

 

Jet's rig in Moab.
He flipped it with his girlfriend in the truck.

oh my i hope they are okay it looked like they never got out of the rig. And at the end of the video a girl screamed loud. I hope he is okay. And if they are i hope he can still make it to the last event this year.

I saw that clip a month or 2 ago, so he obviously is ok - not sure about his girlfriend.

John

 

Yeah, when we were hanging out in Jet's garage while fixing Brandi's truck, Jet was telling me he flipped his rig 6 times with his girlfriend in the truck awhile back. Both him and his girlfriend walked away. He said the vid clip was even on ESPN2.
Crazy stuff!

 

WOW! I thought it had happened this week. What a relief.

 

that's crazy. i can't tell if people are screaming or cheering while the truck is rolling.

i rolled my rig a few years ago and walked away............

hope i never have to experience that ever again.

cheers to rolling over yotas. hope everything was okay.

 

I cracked the shell of my chain drive transfer case on the Double Slab in Chinamans. Not the line everyone takes but the "Gina" line. Richard Stubbs has already repaired it. Check it out.

So, the case took a direct hit on that obstacle and thats what cracked it or what??? & don't you have skids covering the whole underbelly? I'm ignorant - help me out. should have looked more and drank less at the jambo

John

 

Yes. I had a skid plate on the case, but I also have no crossmembers so the skid when up, my welds were very strong and started to rip the stock skid mount posts off.

I no longer have the 2nd crossmember that the rest of you do, I will build a skid plate/crossmember frame rail to frame rail and it will no longer be an issue. I was a one in a million hit, but now I know it can happen and I'll fix it.

I have already worked all the issues out of the front axle, rear axle and power steering plumbing, those are bombproof now.
