Won't have a new axle in time - broke my passenger outer at the Fawl Crawl. You guys have a good time!

I know where there's a trail rig you can borrow ;D;D The owner has already knocked off most of the mud from Kentucky.

Great day today. Big thanks to Bill (mtfit) for his trail guiding. Your patience in getting everyone through is much appreciated. It was great to see everyone and there rigs.

We did the new property first. It was my first time over there and I liked it. I don't know the names of the trails we did, but there is a lot of great terrain to tackle. In the afternoon we headed back across the street. I know we did Yellow Jacket and Cemetary, parts of which I had never done.

I think most of what we did were higher difficulty Blues and Blacks. There was minimal carnage. There was a bent tie rod that was bent back straight with some creative use of a winch. And I had a seized power steering pump at the end of the day that caused it to spit out the belt. I finished the day with manual steering.

I hope everyone that took pics and video will post them up for everyone to see.

Til next time.......

X2 on the big thanks to Bill for guiding us and 97XEB for the idea of meeting up today. Justin had a blast! The day started a bit slow with some trafffic on the east property but once we got on the other side again the trails moved great.

Justin took all the pictures and he aplogizes that he didn't get many of you guys in the back.

Nice to meet you guys- sorry I held up the morning, and got stuck fixing a jeep- I was happy to at least catch up for a little while. I look forward to the next run- I promise I wont be late....

BTW- All the trucks were very impressive!!

 

[mtfit]

great day guys, now IF I can you guys out to wheel more often? Justin is a photographer in the works.....

 

[97XEB]

Awesome time! Glad everyone made it. Like Chris said, great to see everyone and the rigs! Bill, thanks for guiding and the patience. You did a great job picking out trails and getting us through. Like the pics so far - keep 'em and the vids coming. I'll try to post mine in the next week or so.

PS: Might be time to look for some good, used 38s...

Bill, I'm up for doing more group trail rides throughout the year.

Jim, Todd and I were laughing every time your horn honked. I bet that was fun having your horn going off while we were driving past all the people in line for dinner!
