Fantastic. I'll be there. Getting a Marlin Crawler rear bumper for Xmas methinks.

 

Anthony, Keith:

Are you guys running through Siloam Springs? Theres a guy on the AR TTORA board who wants to follow someone to disney who lives in Siloam Springs:

Weather calling for 2-4" of snow and Ice here. I'm still in as of now but if I wake up and we have 4" stuck to the roads I doubt I'll be trying to run all the way to Disney and back so I'll just have to see what happens come morning. And yes we normally go through Siloam springs to get there so we could stop at a gas station along the way or something.

 

Haha, the one time we're going to get winter precipitation here in AR, it's going to ruin our fun...

 

Yeah I know it should at least get us out of something other than a great Trip to Disney

 

We got 5-8" yesterday and I had to take a break from work to go play in it for a couple hours. A buddy following me in his Subaru had snow flying over his hood as we bombed down unplowed roads.

I think Disney with snow/ice would be awesome! But you've all seen the body on my truck

 

Weather doesn't look too promising, here or there, so I won't be coming along after all.

 

sorry to hear that keith... I'll take pics! Looking at the radar though, it looks like most of it is to the east. theres a little blip to the west, but its not very big, and not moving..... c'mon it'll be alright

any word on anthony?

 

no idea on anthony. tried to call him this morning, but no good. Hopefully he'll check here before and not wait on me if he's still going.

 

I'll have to catch this trip next time for sure.

 

LOL,
We go power back! When I called the electric company (OG&E), the lady said that a construction crew dug through the underground line that supplied power to part of our neighborhood. Makes since to me, because our snow fall has equated to pretty much nothing. To bad, as my wife and I were itching to go. Guess we'll have to live with the pics you all take. Hope all went well. Again, thanks for the efforts. On the bright side, I just found out through a friend that 4 Wheel Parts is having a Re Grand Opening, so I convinced the wife that we should check it out. Maybe an early Xmas gift?

Man! I'm bummed. As usual we got hardly anything here in Fay-town. Hope you guys are having a blast, do I hear a January trip?

 

Robert, sorry you couldnt make it out, it was a blast.

Keith, you should have bellied up and went. Both Anthony and I tried calling you to talk you into coming around 9AM or so.

We had a total of six rigs out. 2 3rd gen 4runners, 1 1997 nissan pickup, 2 1st gen 4runners, and 1 TJ. First hillclimb with me leading, I broke my front axle (again). Same spot I broke it last time, and broke it in the exact same spot on the inner shaft. Ended up pullin the CV all the way out and just wheelin it in 3WD. Besides that, Andrew hit a tree (got pics) and that wraps up the carnage.

Did have to do a fair amount of winching this time. Think we used a winch about 3-4 times this trip. It was real slick and real muddy. Pics to follow.
