So that's what the new rear dif diaper looks like.

 

[cesco]

I am sorry I missed seeing that BII wheel. It was set up pretty nice!

well Gary, Bill and I tried to get you to go in our group on Saturday but you decided to run with the street group.....
that's what i should have done and maybe the spring hanger would still be atatched

the guy in the BII, Kevin, went pretty good. he was telling me some of the things that he has made for it.. pretty cool guy, i hope to wheel with him sometime in the future at rausch creek.

You need to take lessons from Liston...and be able to sleep in a folding chair with your head in your own lap all night.;D He must have been a yoga instructor in another life...either that or he gets really really limp..

Someday we might see a running Bronco at an event.

Chris does get credit for bringing a non running bronco to the 40th, it never left the trailer.

Hello all,

This is John (The guy who got engaged at the round-up. Just posting some of my pics (I copied the thread from FSB since it takes to long to retype it all...)

Right now I am just posting the pics. These pics were taken with an $89 walmart camera since I left both of my other digital cams at home:banghead.


This was the rig I was lucky enough to get to grab a seat in.

I never see anything this size on the shore.......

We had a little wait at the top of the first big run. It was a nice opportunity to see some of the other rigs in the ride.

This was a very cool EB on 44 boggers (IIRC). More pics of this beauty later

This is what happens when your bump stops are not long enough. You get a bolt through the oil filter. Good thing OX had another filter in the truck, we bought 3 more on the next walmart run....

Ox was able to drive over this challenge with no trouble. It must be nice to have mog's

THis was just a cool pic I was somehow able to snag from the passanger seat

This was a REALLLLY fun section.

Tree rub anyone. I was able to take some (What I assumed turned out good) video of OX rubbing a tree, but I don't think he has done anything with them yet.

 

[vt89gtvert]

Continued...

THis is where things got a little hairy, and one of the pics where I realized how fat I was getting. I have lost 3 lbs. since that pic:brownbag.....

This was kinda scary to me. I was sitting in the truck with my seatbelt on ready for the roll. That back wheel is about 4 inches from not being on that rock and sliding down about 2.5ish feet.....

Still scary

This pic does not do the situation justice. If you look through the windshield you can see me trying to pull myself to the left to try and be somewhat level.

Right after the last pic I was convinced to take off my belt and try to climb into the back to get the other strap to use a snatch block off a tree. When I was moving, the truck fell. it is a miricle I didn't shit myself as I thought for sure I was going to be bouncing around in a rolling BKO......:shocked

THis is OX getting the BKO out.

The top of that rock that is pointing straight at the frame was catching the front leaf hanger on the back axle. THus causing some issues. Once the BKO fell OX got it off in no time.

I am not a fan of jeeps either, but this one was pretty bad ass I have to admit.

This was the easy way that everyone else took. Nothing but a bunch of girly men they are (I think it was just a rough that way....)

Yep, he IS going to take that line

I think he can flex a little (IIRC this rig won the ramp challenge as well.

He has a little trouble here because he was dragging his rear axle over those rocks back there....

And a pic of the turtles that came to the lake by our cabin every morning just for S&G

I don't think billyboy has ever actually responded to any question without also taking it off topic............

 

[Pearlcoat]

Awesome pics John! Thanks for posting them, especially for those of us who didn't get to see the extreme trucks on the trails.

 

[cesco]

I just got a phone call from someone that I was on a trail ride with this past weekend and was told that I won a set of Mickey Thompson tires up to 35"

what a way to start a Monday off after a long weekend

Remind me to rub your skull the next time I see you! Maybe it will rub off.
