i may not make it out untill somtime saturday and wheeling mabye part of saturday and all day sunday but hopfully will be there friday night as planed.
What an awesome time, and met all great people - trip home was fun in the wind, and the wife took 232 pictures on our camera. I know there are lots of vids and pics from everyone else. Found a few "interesting" mud holes, and got us lost only once - lol.
lol - that's all of em..... Ah, I don't remember getting stuck (thanks for the extractions, and testing my hitch)..... Wow only took approx 2hrs to convert all photos. I'll throw up a couple and link the photobucket album.
Looks like you guys had a blast for sure. I wanted to go but my buddy wanted to go to redbird so we had 2 XJ's, a ZJ and a TJ. We all got stuck at least once(twice for me)!
lol - I assume you found Mike before you left.... Can't wait to see the vids and others pics. It looks like my XJ may be out for a few - it now has a horrible passenger lean, rear pinion leak, radiator hose leak (going to swap to the proper cooling system). lol - suppose I should fix my passenger door that Brandi broke too so she don't have to do the dukes of hazard slide in (though commical to watch).
How was the rest of the orange?
I was in shock when my wife mentioned, and didn't disagree about getting a front locker for my jeep. Still laughing about how you mentioned mine sounds like some tracked vehicle pulling up with all the noises it makes.
LoL. I'm going to start referring to your jeep as the sherman!
The orange was alot of fun. It was like driving through a swamp almost. Andrew got his rear wheel about 2 feet off the ground, and I finally got to test the integrity of my sliders. Came down pretty hard on it.
See if you can talk Brandi into letting you get a selectable front. You can tell her it'll help keep you from rolling!
So far I need a new thermostat, front brakes are giving me hell, need a new trac-bar tie-rod end, chop/re-weld my exhaust hanger, and steam clean the mud poop thats on my drivers seat!
Gotta love the mud poop - finally got that smell out of my nose. So you guys broke Andrew in good, eh? Selectable would be nice - just don't know if I can afford that anytime soon.
I'm bummed I couldn't make it - when's the next one?
As I remember there were a number of people who couldn't go for various reasons, anyone up for a trip in May? Preferably one of the later weekends in the month. Still need to break in the motor on the Tahoe and I just noticed that my XJ's front coils are bent pretty badly.
