TSF Noobfest: 5/8

Ouch! Dont let em get you dell, in my opinion everything happens for a reason. It gave us all a chance to sit around in a smaller group and converse. Plus........without that what would we be talking about right now? (BTW, i know everyone's just playin, kinda) ;)
 
Hey thank you all for the run and I appreciate the fact that everyone was so kind. I ended up having to leave a little after lunch do to some dumb renix heating issues. I think I have a small leak that is allowing air in somewhere. But anyways, this was a great day and I learned more of what my rig can do. I was actually amazed at how much we got through. Oh and I might have gotten my friend that came up with us to want to buy an XJ now!

Looks like it was a hell of a day and great turn out. Wish I could have made it out there I really need some wheeling time. Been out of work with a hurt back though so don't think the trails would do me much good on getting better lol
 
Not in my group... was REAL sloppy by the time we got there, thundershowers and hail... someone in another group may have earlier in the day... I know Dustin's group had a hard enough time at the Rock Of Doom on FB5! :roll:
 
Man was that a fun day! I was impressed with all the people and there attitudes for helping the newbies.....as well as the new guys letting us give info. A well oiled machine, and the day went awesome. I enjoyed wheeling with you guys and meeting some good people. Now Im looking forward to more fun up there or anywhere for that matter. Here are some pics and short vids. A big thanks to Torx for setting up the run. Also a big thanks to Believe & Receive sorry bud I am terrible with names........for giving my nephew Spencer a helping hand it trash retrieval from the woods. Torx, thanks to whoever supplied those goodies, Crawl Mag, tire guage, future trash bags, and some sweet stickers for the winner of the most trash removed from the woods, great idea by the way!

most of the group that met up at PIR

That's awesome that Teresa(?) got some seat time in

See you at NWF! :cool:

Anyone make can opener?

Time wasn't on our groups side so we passed it. There was a large collection of boulders stock piled at the bottom though. I'm guessing the bottom filter will be getting some work done to it in the future.

Also, nice report and pics Joey.

One last thank you to everyone who picked up trash along the trails. If I had to guess I would say we removed between 6-8 bags of garbage on Saturday. Every bit picked up helps out a lot, thanks guys!
 
I won't post my pics, they look like everyone elses. :). I had a great time. It's always awesome to meet new people and wheel with them. I really like when we coordinate a group lunch. Good STuff.

Has anyone heard from Kenny? His radiator was giving him problems later in the day, I hope he made it home Okay.

Talked with him yesterday. They made it home alright, and actually were bummed about missing out on some wheeling. I guess he lost his radiator cap. They stopped by the creek along South Fork to get some much needed water, pulled the thermostat, and ran cool the whole way home.

Good deal, glad he made it home alright.
 
After inspecting.. it seems i ended up with some carnage on the 5.9

Missing driver fog light, bumper scuffed up pretty gnarly. and the rear drive shaft rubbed my o2 wires to bare wire and caused a fuse to blow leaving me stranded yesterday.

The drivers side front speaker quit working, and my Vehicle information center now says a coolant sensor is bad. I now have a clunk in the right front area, and the brakes are squeeling terribly. Rear axle seems to be leaking on the driver side alot more then it was before hand.

I miss wheeling my XJ. the ZJ isnt setup for double black diamonds yet. my bad.
