What I learned at winterfest 2015 edition

[FlexdXJ]

Craig(altrocker) is a real person
Matt will think Craig is driving the RHD Jeep that Colin is driving
Terrehautian is learning to use the go button
All terrain tires own in snow
Rubi 44's leave something to be desired
The guy who won the ugliest rig last year can sure build a badass Toyota
Beergoggles doesn't feed his gf bacon sandwiches in bed
Going to WF without your rig is much easier but not as much fun
My friends are amazing (already knew that)

BFG Krawlers absolutely blow in the snow.

The hotel is awesome!

Passing out shortly after the raffle makes for a easier drive home.

Don't use vice grips on your window.

The lady that own's the hotel really likes her whiskey.

Sean doesn't really smell like goats.

But Durbin's got a rank a$$!




Edit: adding a couple things

 

[87manche]

you can need to pull cable on the green trail.
3/4 a bottle of dayquil before the dinner makes everything a bit fuzzy.
no bus.

 

[Trixie03]

Pizza King doesn't open till 4 on Saturdays.
The hotel is creepy and smells funny.
You really miss out on the apple pie when you can't drink it.

 

[POLAR_JEEP_04]

The owner of hotel Attica doesn't mind hallway parties.

K man likes rut beer

Sean needs extra hats

Ten factory dana 30 shafts with spicer 760 joints will take a beating

Even with new technology radios, no one knows where BMFL is when it's group picture time.

"I can get you out of Attica" is a great pick up line.

Showing up Thursday afternoon is a must for future WF

Robie's wings are amazing if they ever show up

Crossroads breakfast > McDonald's

 

[Brandonrcm]

4 low and 1st are better then brakes going down hill

Breaking through ice sucks

Tim likes to destroy D30 axle shafts

Having a dash cam is pretty cool for being able to go back and laugh at people breaking

I like trees

Not to drive over snow piles by the banquet hall because you get stuck :doh:

 

[altrocker1]

Don't buy advance auto alternators

Pats name is really Matt

Wheeler isn't afraid to air out oom2

Sleeping 5 in the coop is possible

Jerry's fsj has one speed...wide open

 

[96xj_matt]

I learned it is almost possible to flop your Jeep on the green trail.

 

[terrehautian]

Hey flex, what do you mean learning. Since my xj became a non daily driver, I take it a little more fun side now.

What did I learn, lifted xj is better is a lot more fun then stock wheeling.

Snow/ice wheeling adds some fun to trails.

My mtr's did pretty good in snow.

I can't wait for next year.

The campground is freakishly dark at night even with an almost full moon when trying yo find someone.

It takes lots of good friends to get your rig out of MI. Thanks guys!

 

[altrocker1]

Passing out in the font seat of your xj when you have to wake up and immediately drive your xj 9 hours home is a bad idea

 

[BRIANHO13]

1) 15 hrs of sleep is not enough for 3 days.
2) 14 pitchers of beer at Robbies on Thursday night is only $70.
3) A hotel Hallway is warm and you can have a lot of fun drinking with friends in said hallway.
4) you can laugh so hard and long drinking in said hallway that your sides literally hurt the next day.
5) getting laid after NAM can be a fun experience
6) once tires burn through ice and snow you can get enough traction to cause a lot of problems
7) I can still talk people into trying crazy stuff
8) Apparently I am not a member
9) Scooby snacks are yummy.
10) It's RUUT beer
11) Crossroads is best breakfast in town.
12) Dan is so popular in Attica he can pick up drunk chicks in a bar in which he is not even drinking.
13) Riding w BMFL is a fun experience, and he can go all day with out major carnage.
14) my forehead is too big to forget sunscreen

 

[BRIANHO13]

15) I can't wait til I am older so I can turn off my filter.

 

[RAM-ROD]

15) I can't wait til I am older so I can turn off my filter.

:clap:

 

[POLAR_JEEP_04]

I still don't know what filter you're talking about

 

[REWSTER]

Craig is a big dude, that somehow fits on the table bed of a pop up.

Cabin party is awesome and warm.

apple pie is awesome.

Parking your camper at night when everything is iced can lead to waterfront property when thawed.

MTR's are pimp.

Part of orange that can be done with a stock Cherokee Can be the hardest part of your day when iced over.

full throttle up that hill was a little to fun.

wheeling in the snow is interesting.

baked potato bar was cool but i don't think they knew the importance of the amount of bacon needed for this group.

i probably shouldn't of ate 2 potatoes.

did the Vfw really run out of beer? i over heard that somewhere.

I can actually win something in the raffle, a cool something.

2 fires because why the hell not.

Go to bed around 5 am wake up at 7 am because you get a text that your kid is sick.

My jeep is pretty much a point and shoot jeep.

You people are great!

 

[terrehautian]

About the beer, I heard they ran out of the cheap beer. I don't drink alcohol, but over heard from the table in front of me. I was surprised how much water was in the campground Saturday night. Can't imagine what it was Sunday morning.

 

[emptypockets86]

Winterfest never gets old.

Never look cross at a Ninja.

It's always fun wheeling with the Sunday crew.

Keeping track of 3 FRS radio channels can be a challenge.

 

[Trixie03]

did the Vfw really run out of beer? i over heard that somewhere.

They ran out of cold bottles of bud light.
