Sweet i'm pumped

 

I can't wait, especially since i picked up my new shoes today. I was so excited and whacked out on monster that i went ahead and mounted one up at 1:30am.

I think im going to need to trim my fenders a little bit..........

 

WOW joe you were ambitious!

 

Trimming the fenders is an understatement. REMOVING the fenders and part of the sides is more accurate.

 

I am getting really jealous from this thread. I hope my truck is up and running in time.

 

Crawlmag posted this on the pirate thread...

"Let's see some pics of the rigs planning to be there. Give me a reason to send my feature editors out and get this ride in CRAWL Magazine I have staff in Detroit and Cleveland so let's see what ya got."

Post them up bitches.

If you dont know Crawl magazine is all about extreem rockcrawling so post accordingly.

Post it on pirate or here on yotatech. heres the pirate thread (be warned it has been dead)

:p

 

Here's the latest poser shot of my junk that will be attending. These are my street tires though. 31" BFG AT's. 33" LTB's for the muck

 

UPDATE:

Ok not much to update but the boards are kinda dead so...

As of today it seems that 50 rigs plan to attend. I would say that 30-35 of them are "reliable."

CRAWL magazine will be sending two guys down to cover the event for a future issue. So you may see your truck in CRAWL!


What are everyones plans for camping. I would like to give Tom a heads up. If you are going to stay at the Cliffs do you plan to bring an RV or a tent. See previous updates for details on Cliffs camping.

I will be there on friday afternoon to setup and help people with whatever, and probably do some wheeling.

 

joez.....I have your 4R's twin
I should be there early Fri afternoon....just let me know who I am following.....and from the sounds of it I want to avoid trail 1

I was near there a few days ago for work and found a good bar...think the name was Shakers or something

my junk

 

Rocketman, wow you live close. I didnt realize it til I saw you on 355 this morning. I was the retard in the black 4runner soft top.

BTW your rearend must be LIGHT!

 

Update

Close to 60-70 rigs at this point!!

Gumby, Tom, Joez, and I did a little prerun on some intermediate/advanced (IMO) stuff. The trails are DRY, which is good. Some good technical driving can be done due to the amount of traction.

Heres some pics

I will be at the cliffs around 10-11 on friday (27th) to help things along, and do some wheeling.

 

4RNR, I was thinking that may have been you.... Light is an understatement. Here's what's being made for me by JCR Offroad in MI,




I was looking at the Cliffs pics. Looks like these guys were taking different lines up #7. (I know that tree leaning over the trail)

Seems rolling over is a hobby for this bunch!!

 

We were never on trail 7 yesterday, most of the pics are on 21. My pics from the day are in my webshots link.

 

That's my truck!!!

 

I just thought I would throw this out there, there is not a host for the festivities on fri night and sat night. So basically you are on your own for food etc... Also bring some fire wood for the fire.

Maybe next year I can get someone to host a bbq.

 

UPDATE:

Well, today I went to the cliffs with Gumby and met Tom. We did some camp site hunting and found a couple places to camp. They should both be nice sites but I will warn you now it might be a little dusty due to some distant ATV traffic. Im not worried about it.

The weather looks good. slight chance of some rain on friday. That might be a great thing. Its very dry out there, and unless its a major rain it shouldnt soup stuff up, but it will knock down the dust. Sat/Sun are sunny and mid 80's.

We talked to Steve (owner) and he is going to do some trail work to make the easy trails more consistant and fun for the stockers/newbies.

Every one who brings a vehicle will receive a raffle ticket (I think I can add a tube bumper to that). Additional raffle tickets can be bought.

An orange flag is mandatory for all vehicles so either bring one or bring $12.99.

Oh and Gumby broke his t-case in half today during our shake-down run

Well thats all I can think of for now.

 

Agian??

 

yes this time lterally in half. it was shooting sparks everywhere

 

I won't be able to make it, I hope everyone has a great time. With my wedding less than 3 weeks away and now I am also going to build a house, this year is shot. Next year for sure though.
