well our adventure started on thurs night. i made it to camp unlike most times, befor the croud had went to bed.:thumbup:
tarp city was constructed
because scott talked smack, tessa went to the liquor store and was eggN the peeps on. we did a feiw shots, and headded to bed.
friday morning, well afternoon. we hit the trails we were headded for cedar tree but ended up on fb5 befor we knew it. the rock of doom was the rock of doom, and the secont section is evolving into one of the funest sections of trails out there. alyssia wheel thoes rocks like a champ! we ran up on the rock garden of fb5 fairly quick. i saw the garden and got a little overzellious. i headded right in! i managed to rearange my exaust, breaking an o2 sensor, smashing my intermediate pipe, and pushing it so far forward it leeks at the manafold, the "y" pipe flange was rubbing on the front axle yolk as the suspention flexed.
thx for spotting me out nic! i was wedged
Torx and i stoped to take a look under there, (i got hung up fairly good)
i tried to kick things back a bit, but it wasent moving...
so we continued on, at this point it was me, torx, and blackjeep. as we got part way up the 3rd section of fb5 we come up on nic, hatch open and laying under the jeep?!?!?!?
somehow he had lost the rear DS, ujoint, and beat the snot out of the yolk. after getting the DS pulled nic and i decided rather than push to catchup that we needed to limp to a good spot for some trail repairs.
after quickly relizing i gave my pipes a little more than a love tap i knew the whol system had to come out to make things right on my rig. nic discovered that he couldent find the right parts in his boxes to get his jeep back on the trail so we decided to head for camp... in the rain :tears:
well some debated a night run, some drank, some ate foods in preperation. darin and dustin were getting there friendly batch of facelighting when nick pipes up. Bronze! your tarp it down! AHAHAHAHAHAHAH we all ran to try and save tarp city. we all tried, but it just wasnt working out. dustin decided it would be best if hee just stood at camp all night and held it up.
way to be dustin:thumbup:
i wanted to thank everybody that drop everything they were doing to help me get the tarps back up, and for the useage of the rope. ( i still have the bundle i thinks its ryan's???) its not fun to do in the rain, and i had the largest tarp known to man. so agin guies thankyou!
saturday morning rolled around we herd nics desil start up and take off, so i figured i had time to dick with my exaust. i dident want to risk the system springing apart so i dident want to unbolt anyhing. i wraped my straps around the pipes and tugged off of a tree a feiw times. it dient seal up, but it moved back enough fo me to clear the rubbing problem in the suspention, i was ready to wheel!!!
ray's cps went out at the bottom of hogs back. and i learned tapping a cps "may" get it to start one last time. it worked! it runs! "just dont shut the jeep off today ray...." nic says.
while waiting, ryan wanted a secont shot at the hill climb.

most of the time, most people bypass the rock garden on HB, but today everybody wanted to play on the rocks.
