jv report!!!!!!!!! nov. 15-17

We'll if your not here you need to be......


So far so good.

Its been a little cold at night so dress warm.

Kangaroo rats all over the place, one started eating a little fruit I sat down while working on my junk and I snatched him up. Cute little guy.


Hwy 20 was run all day thursday. 15 rigs. 1 flopped, 2 broken alloy d44 shafts, one window busted out. Fun stuff.



Me n bryan (xj ranger) ran claw hammer today, good stuff. I destroyed a rear driveshaft, good thing I've got a spare at camp.


Now I'm hoping for a night run!





Ill be posting everytime we do a run cause I only get reception by the second lakebed/sand dune.

COOL!!!
With I was there. If I was going I would be on the road right now.

[FONT,PerdanaRomd pi"q please for those of us that unfortunately cant make it:bawl: [/FONT]

who flopped? see you there in the morn

Hey Dump,

You beat me to it..

Yep.. IT WAS/IS COOL.. I arrived Wed night and got back around 8pm tonight..

Matt flipped his XJ.. I don't know his screen name though.. We were just at his rig, then walked away, then... no more than 30 secs later.. crash, thump, and crash. He's ok, just hurt his shoulder a bit..

Highway 20 was... hmmmm KICK ASS!!!!

Just remember to BRING SPARES if you are going to run anything except the "easy" run..

I'll be back up there Sat night, hopefully before the raffle..

See You Up There...

:yelclap:

Matt, aka, Scrappy? young guy, like 22, in a blue mostly tube XJ?

that's funny

was Richard spotting? :laugh3:

It wasn't Scrappy..

This Matt has a silver '00 or '01 XJ and he's from Arizona..

Actually, no one was spotting him.. a few of us scratched our heads and wondered how ended up that way..

He flopped sideways, on the driver side, all the way on the roof, then rolled back on the driver side. :rof:

Elias

Is (Rockin Rick) Rick Norman from Phoenix there? If so tell him I need an updated mail address... his renewal junk got returned to sender.

i wish i was there

My son and I had a great time but be sure to bust my balls for not running the rest of LBJ, I deserve it. My intentions were to run the easy trail as part of a scouting mission for a future run out there but I ended up chosing the "Easy Moderate", increasing to moderate-moderate, increasing to insane run. Anyhow, it was cool and I appreciate the spotting help and tug when I slipped and got stuck. At least now I can say I ran a Hammer trail even if it was only Tack Hammer, and I even have a dent in my door to prove it! LOL!
If you have never been, the area out there is beautiul and there are cool areas all over the place to see and wheel, including all the famous very tough trails which I look forward to seeing in the future. Now I can really see why a lot of XJ's slowly evolve into tube buggies.
Ryans Home brew was great and my son loved the home brew cherry vanilla soda. The Raffle was great with a lot of goodies from a lot of great donors including that, who was it?, racingoil.com? raceoil.com? ummm....oh yeah, HotRodOil.com, yeah thats the one! Anyone that was at the event and is interested in a quote for The Best synthetic lubes, PLMK and I will hook you up with 10% over my cost. Thanks for a great time and I look forward to the next So-Cal event! John

tisk tisk, yer advertising in a non vendor forum.

I had a blast running TackHammer and Lower Big Johnson. I think I had the smallest tires out of the whole crew. Glad I replaced by factory front bumper with the protofab...it saved my front clip. Bent the snot out of my JCR 1 ton tierod...and my rusty's trackbar end looks like a pretzel.

Yeah, if I am I apologize, and if needed, mods please edit, etc. I figured mentioning the offer because I donated to the raffle and didn't get a chance to address the crowd with the offer last night. I hope to be able to donate to other events in the future, just not enough yet to meet the normal vendor advertising requirements.

Looks like its time for an Upgrade....

I had a blast even if I was STUCK to running the easy trails. We had a roll over (Toyota) and got to rename the WJ (Dragin Wagon) which clanked and drug on everything. Ended up picking the wrong line and had to get a tug. All in all it was a great time.

Awesome event again. Just got finished unpacking.

A big thanks to Richard, Ron, all the vendors and "others" who donated, and to everyone else who helped with setup, cooking, trail guiding, etc.

I ran the Tack and LBJ and had a blast, no broken axles (guess I'll try harder?)

Pictures will follow.

Just got home, not many pics of everyone else but here are some of my favorites.

MMMMMM, virgin dunes.

Some carnage, mostly body damage, but we did blow a seal in the stearing box.

Juryrigjalopy will "WATCH" me replace the steering box tomorrow night,so I can be ready to do the Mojave Trail this weekend. And off to pickapart for tail lights and new rear door glass,Wreaking Ball was great but tough on sheetmetal.
