Had an awesome couple of days at JV, thanks to everyone.
Saturdays Clawhammer run turned into a long day when Josh lost his fuel pump near the top & had to be winched & strapped out the last hundred or so yards. But all in all was fun.
Thanks to Cal for leading me through my second JV experience (with wife & baby on board)
Here are a few memories.......

Ken..... just doin his thing.

X2... He should change his screen name now....

Josh - sorry to hear about your misfortune! I am glad is not worse though...

As for the Yots guys, I hope they found a nice rock in the back of their head! a$$clowns like that make it bad for all of us. I mean, passing is one thing, but getign close enough to hurt someone or hit their rig is idiotic! I am sure we coule look on a yota board or somewhere and find this guy. Did he at least sop or say anything?

I would have been pissed. F-these tools. Drinking beer on the trail? Running into peoples rigs? F-that. Not acceptable. I'd be opening a can of whoops ass on these bastards.

Other than that, looks like you guys had a blast.

[cal]

And even now there is still no photographic proof my jeep was ever on a trail.

Guess you guys missed your chance. ;)

If you guys don't want to get passed....
DON'T BLOCK THE F*ING TRAIL!!
Now back to our regularly schedueled thread..

I need to add one thing here..
I had NO F*ING idea there are 'mellow' trails at JV..

I dont mind getting passed at all, but when it comes to bashing into someones rig to do so? I dont think so. If my rig gets beat up, its because I did it...not some drunken fool.

If they would have waited a little bit longer, I could have been in a better spot for them to have a nice passing lane.

More to the point, they spent longer going around you than we spent extracting you. If they'd have waited their bud light drinking asses for us to get you off the trail, everyone would have been off an hour and a half earlier than the first guy was. Once they were out of the way we had you to the top in 90 minutes. About the only thing that group had going for them was that they found my damn GPS and actually returned it, although it was because one guy was honorable and spoke up for the rest of them. The guy who actually had it when Santa and I went to get it back that night didn't seem very happy to see us.

[Jump This]

You didn't mention they were drinking Bud Lite.
I woulda' shot 'em!

:D

Josh, will it buff out?
I'm not thinking any of mine will.......:bawl:

What are those little hood scoop things on the black grand off of? Anyone know?

Kyung

[djblade311]

look like dryer vents. hehe j/k

[4xSanta]

What ended up being the problem with your engine Josh,was it the fuel pump?

[FishPOET]

yep. I replaced the fuel pump and it fired right up. The only thing noticeable on the old one was that the filter on the bottom of the assembly fell off and the tension washer? that held the rubber grommet and 2nd filter on the actual pump came off. So it might have been sucked into the pump but I doubt it.

I think he got them from West Marine or something like that.
