Man what an intense weekend. I need to do this stuff more often.
Everyones pretty much covered it, but i have to say again, what an awesome weekend. we had a great turnout. Everyone had fun goin through the goop and slop.
The two rolls that there were could have ended up ALOT worse than they did, and I'm glad everyones ok. As for the first time wheelin the MJ, I LOVE IT. It just walks right up stuff. Everyone thought that the long bed was gonna be a real big problem in the trees, but i just rubbed a couple fender flares. The most damage I got was a little bit of rock rash behind the passenger tire. I'm pretty sure I'll find more when i wash it, though.

had to work anyways, but thanks. And yes i am still working on the 44/9 swap. This month has been the busiest month at my work since ive been there. it is just getting busier. now that gas is down people can afford to fix their vehicles. I had 58.7 hours that i got paid for this week. that beats any other weak by more than 10 hours. and no its not clock hours its flat rate. Ive been busting my ass there. After this paycheck i might have some extra money to throw in the heep. should hit up the U Pull It. i guess everything is 50% off this week, that sure would make my life a little easier.
I wish I had a job. I'd be asleep right now...

okie dokie, lets get started. we have a long way to go.
i attended this little shindig last year as a saturday only participant. it was a blast. this year i came out friday and back sunday night. holy crap, i thought last years one day thing was fun. 3 days was a hundred billion times better. this time of year things get a little sloppy you might say, and this run was one of the sloppiest ive seen. we had people slingin goo, sliding sidways, and even 2 rollovers. was a good weekend.
i didnt meet up with nick(redjeep3) and nick(88manche) till around 4:00pm or so at the baxters off 82nd and holgate. went to burger king to nab some munchies before heading out
now thats a sweet overflow bottle
we pulled into camp right around 7:00pm, hung around the fire for a bit, then dicided we needed to go on a night run
the only damage the MJ recieved all weekend was a little rocker ding behind the right front tire
eventualy we made it to rocky uphill. we dicided to go down it
nick(redjeep3)
rodger
rod(mojojojo)
nick(88manche)
dustin(TORX)
wounder if im still only allowd 14 per post. ill start a new one, hang on one sec.

so we get to the bottom of the hill and in the clearing is a school bus and a subaru. HMmmmmm.
after that we figured canopener would be a good idea.
had to pull cable. oooie goooie.
up and out
rod was the only one to try that night. sombody had to.
after canopener came the waterfall. rodger had some frustration on the gatekeeper but he made it all the way.
we headed back to camp to enjoy a fire and some antics with a good night of wheelin under our belts.
your hired
pretty
what a nice little setup thay got there.
you know how you can tell if the jack is gone?
the tarp misteriously falls on everyone.
"dont look at me"
hehe all in good fun.
next up, saturday.

this guy tried the left line, wich is usualy the easy way. not today.
right side worked out well
red sami was blowin smoke all the way to the top.

the sami that dumped on the previous section gave it a go. but wile he was on his side he dumped a bunch of fuel so he was bout empty now. nobody noticed it either with he was laying there.
cause its mine
CJ7 took on the crushers. red sami opted out due to low fuel level.
almost lost the windshield
off to hogsback, 88manche making it look easy
cant remember this fellas name to save my life.
down the way a little there is another rock garden that is smaller than that on FB5, so i figured it give it a shot. i got stuck
the sami was too light to pull me. the manche wasnt thoguh
still more coming.

onwards, we ended up going down rocky uphill again.
88manche did it right this time.

this sort of shows the ledge
the CJ decided going down was so fun he would go up it too.
came right at me good thing for that 4 foot burm.
what a treat to see near the end of a great weekend.
well off to canopener.
try again.
still needing wenching. so sloppy.
locked front and rear. just no tracktion anyware.

i thought this turned out kinda cool looking.
took off for waterfall, 88manchee walked right through with only a control arm drop bracket snaging once.
this sami made it too.
i however did not. got stuck just like i did on hogsback. rock on the rear and one on the front.
the green CJ made it up and over i think. i really wasnt paying attention
that was it. we head back to rodgers camp to button up and be on our way. pull into rodgers and there is this huge red glow back in the corner by the bathrooms. turned out to be this
can you say insane. how do you drive that on the street? just...WOW!
all was well aired up at gales creek and bombed home. oh yea, we found out that the manche is at about 4300Lbs and mine is 3800Lbs, but get this redjeep3"s rig is 4700Lbs. go figgure.
we all had fun and i can garantee you i will be there for the Xmas tree run on the 13th and the 6th.
