Golden Mtn - Flog: Nov 12-14, 2010

i didnt think they opened till 6pm CST?

I've talked to the people that own the park and the fellow that runs it and they will have it open on Friday for us.
 
I will need to call him but it will be sometime in the morning, probably about 8 am.
 
Who know's I may be there then. :D
 
Gentlemen, it seems that Team Struggle may not be present.:gonnablow:gonnablow:gonnablow:gonnablow


--------------- The bad news-------------

The last trip to Windrock left something afoul in my rear axle.

No pics yet, but the ring gear bolts backed out of my ARB....... again!!!!

The damage was horrific. Destroyed ARB, mangled my Bobby Longfield cryoed 5.13 ring and pinion and all the bearings have little tiny bits of ring gear bolt in them.


---------------The good news-----------------


4Wheel parts will warranty everything including labor. All new parts again.



--------------The news I don't know yet--------------

The R&P set is in California as of today. Hopefully into Longfield's magical hands in Washinton state on Monday for cryo treatment, then to 4WP in Atlanta by Wednsday, into my rig by Thursday.


What can Brown do for me?!?! Get me my gears!!!!!


It will only cost me about $160 for next day air shipping, and $45 to Longfield for new cryo treatment.

If that all happens without a hitch, Team Struggle will Flog. If not.......you guys take lots of photos.
 
Team struggle should flog with or without a jeep. I know its not the same, but you talked me into the crawl even though I didn't have Betty built yet, so now its my job to convince you!

But no convincing is needed, you'll make it with your jeep.
 
amen! you will make it and if you dont, boo on you for not coming anyways. what happened when i test ran my GENRAL and broke stuff right before the CRAWL... i went anyways, why? because the weekend away was still a weekend away! :D
 
Tim, I don't want to be the only there with out a rig to wheel. Come on man, If I can do it you can too!!!

added mark because he said he is coming but riding and didnt add himself to the list.

so it looks like we got 12 people with a few plus1's and 9 rigs with 2 maybe rigs....


also i plan on getting up there around 4ish if all goes well.
 
Yall are just afraid you'll be cold.

Im going hell or high water. Gotta do some stuff to Betty this morning to get her ready, but then I'll be good. I wanted to make good driveshafts but I am still awaiting payment on a few jobs and I am WAY too broke to buy the parts needed.

Team Struggle will be coming. If the Struggle Wagon is still broke then they will ride to Rock Solid in Chattanooga and then ride the rest of the way with me. No reason to pay for extra fuel if you have no rig to tow. Hopefully she'll be done though. I know Tim would really enjoy Golden Mtn. in his own rig.

JeepAddict85 (Greg) isn't going to make it either.
 
Current status:
Jeep is running and should be good to go, but my right side LCA mount has wings and I'm not sure how good an idea it is to wheel it....may be cracked. I'm not sure if the new LCA mounts will be at RSOR in time for Tyler to get them welded on.

Also a minor concern is the fuel tank. Apparently the last cove trip made a huge impression on the tank, and my current capacity is unknown. All I do know is when the gauge shows under a 1/4 tank it will only take about 10 gallons. Surely it's not a 8 or 9 gallon dent, but I haven't pulled the plastic cover off the tank to look. So long as I keep it full, I should be ok though.

Only other concern is all the school work I put off earlier this semester while trying to get the Jeep back on the road. I may be able to get enough work done this week to consider myself mostly caught up in which case I'll be coming up for Saturday, but can't justify the whole weekend.

I guess what I'm saying is I won't really know until Thursday night whether or not I'll be able to make it.
