This was a rediculous-fun trip! Aside from some breakage, we all had a great time on the trails and in camp. :thumbup:
Tradition dictates that there always must be a "things learned" thread to capture all the fun that was had. Some will be obvious, some will be ya-had-to-be-there kinda stuff, but none of it will lack the phunnay! So........
1. Last minute wrenching sucks - especially when it's due to your own stupidity....
2. Leaving home at 1:30 am to get to Moab in time for an all-day run having had zero sleep in nearly 40 hours is TOTALLY worth it!
3. I have sand in EVERYTHING - you name it, there's sand in it.
4. SteveT has "hootai"
5. Janine (J-9) will from this point forward be known as "Igottagallonofthat" and her rig as "The rolling Wal-Mart".
5.1. In support of #5: "Anyone got any diff fluid?" Janine: "Yeah, what kind do you want? Synthetic or regular? I have 75/140 or 85/140"........ :laugh:
6. Brian (zith) needed metric heater hose.
7. Ben_Dyer found an easy fix for a busted 231 that won't drive the front wheels....... It's called Tera 2-Low.
8. SteveT wanted someone to hold his nuts......... and figured out a way to make it happen on Hells Revenge.
9. eflores got to experience Moab 'wheeling - via cell phone. :moon:
10. Zax Pizza buffet is STILL the best meal in Moab.
11. Kevin (fireLt.) can really roll out a mean tow strap - you'd think he was a fire fighter or sumpthin.......
12. Wheeling at 10pm removes all fear of shelf roads above deep canyons.
13. Ben (beezle)'s Rig doesn't like rear lockers. It's rejected 2 of 'em now.....
14. Broken axle shaft stubs come out of an ARB much easier if you remove your hand from the end it needs to fall out from.........
15. I was denied an exit from Mickey's Hot Tub....... AGAIN.
16. SteveT knows a bunch of funny jokes...... that he won't tell anyone.
17. CarQuest sells power steering pulleys......... :dunno:
18. Sandstone isn't any less forgiving to Bushwhackers.....
19. Quoted for truth: Kevin (fireLt.) "I got to put my hands on alot of guy's rear ends today"
20. Mike can definitely drive that open-open Grand Hero......
21. Janine (J-9) doesn't like my spotting directions.... look for Hell's gate pics....
22. JohnJohn will let ANYONE babysit in order to get some alone time.......
23. "Smack at the Crack"...... DO NOT Google it without your filter on....
24. Poo related humor makes SteveT run away to his "happy place".
25. Cheddar brats wrapped in grilled tortillas are da-bomb!
26. Someone...... went wheeling with cast aluminum degree shims and broke 'em. :dunce:
27. Sand storms and differential repairs shouldn't happen simultaneously..... makes things "crunchy".
And lastly, thanks to J-9, zith, fireLt, beezle, and Ranger Rick for all the help in fixing my rig, and providing parts, supplies and hands in fixing the other rigs during the "event". Hopefully I get the chance to pay it forward!
