My Carnage at the 40th trail runs. (pics)

[Madgyver]

What an experience it is to be broken down so far from home..........;D

Like they say "it's never tested till it tested"

Not bad for it's maiden voyage....

This was Thursday's run in Johnson Valley. It was a bad flexfan

 

[Madgyver]

This one was Saturday's run somewhere in Barstow after doing Calico/Odessa Canyon...

Scott J must have some better pics of me getting out of shape on this climb....


Thanks to Mike, Dan, Marti, Ben, John, Jean and everyone else who helped out to get me back on the road and running........It made it back on its own to the boat in time....

Thanks again and Aloha,
Honorio and Kids...

Mad. It was great meeting you at the 40th. Do you have any pic with the new front bumper? And did you decide to keep your buddy's rear Protofab?

Mad,

What tire/wheel/lift combo do u have on that Bronco? I am guessing 37/17 MTRs with 5.5 inch lift? Set me straight. Its a great looking wheel/tire combo, do u think it will fit with a 3.5" lift and a 2" body lift? Do you have any rubbing?

Mad, its too bad I didn't get to go down there. I would like to have met you in person. It looks like you and your family enjoyed the trip (your kids are all smiles). Anyway, perhaps next time. (Or if I ever get rich maybe I'll visit Hawaii)

It was a bad flexfan

Yeah, but to be broken down, you were amongst great company!

I hear many stories about flex fans taking out radiators, I think I'll stick with the stock fan.

What's that I heard about when you broke your rear driveshaft that you were worried about losing your brakes if your engine quit? Even if the engine isn't running, you should still have the equivalent of manual brakes.

Mad Even with the carnage it looked like you had a great time, and people chipped in and fixed the carnage.

I am looking foward to the East Coast Bronco Roundup. I haven't been 4 wheeling in close to 20 years, so it should be a lot of fun. I know my rear driveshaft is in good shape, but who knows what kind of condition the axleshafts and front driveshaft are in. I am sure if I suffer similar carnage other members will do the same for me.

Hope you had a great time. You would think out of thirty people that Mad would not be the only one working on his truck. I guess it is nice to have a fan club from time to time hun Mad?;D

 

[73stallion]

I helped Mad bolt that bumper up to his truck, That is one sweet bumper.
I think everyone wanted it. Me included. The Baile Built on the front of his Bronco is pretty cool also, but it looked kind of funny with his sprinker pipe bumper bolted underneith.

I'm back home but my rig doesn't leave Long Beach Harbor until Saturday.

I won't be able to see it for another week or so...

Hey Mad,
I just got done cleaning the mud off the Bronco that I picked up in the riverbed on Saturday, musta been
100 lbs !
It was great to meet you and your kids, I'm glad you
guys had a good time....These events leave me with
memories that I will never forget...
I'd really appreciate it if you'd email me any pics that
you took....
Thanks,
Dan
