OFFROAD Badlands Run in January

[Bartonmd]

I'll be making an appearance to feed my face and make an ass out of myself, as per standard operating procedure...

Wouldn't be a wheeling trip without a truck in pieces in my driveway hours before heading out...

 

[DevilishT2003]

At least you were able to save the day with your parts warehouse.

 

[Ghoster]

Lots of pics please!!

 

[Hotness]

See you guys in the morning. Damn time change means I gotta get up an hour early.

 

[HARDTRAILZ]

A bad day in the woods is better than great day at work....


Thanks everyone for everything.

 

[Scooter Scott]

Would I be an ass if I said you're welcome? All in all I love the TB community. You guys are damn good friends and happy we were able to have such a good group of guys with us.

Wait til I pick your lines next weekend....

Wait til I pick your lines next weekend....

I meant it in the way of helping of course Kyle...not cuz i'm a dumbass and pick the wrong line.

 

[HARDTRAILZ]

It wasn't real hard to convince me..
Plus we always take that line. Could have been worse. Sucks that the holes are now three feet deep.

 

[Regulator]

It was a good day, all things considered. Everyone made it home healthy, with only minimal damage to a few vehicles.

I only got two pictures, but here you go!

Sorry Kyle, couldn't resit sharing.

 

[DevilishT2003]

There's next year's Badlands photo contest winner!

 

[Ghoster]

Sorry Kyle, couldn't resit sharing.

Were you turning left or right.... cuz I can't really tell.

 

[wink]

It was a rough day, but still had fun. It was good to see everyone jump in and help out.

It started off nice...

Then this...

But then we got to do some playing after AJ figured out what tie-rod end to use

And the end of the day when Kyle failed to climb the rock garden...at least he tried

Looks (and sounded) like a whole lot of fun! Glad I wasn't there!

(Though, if I had been there, I'd have shoved a folded up glove or something between the tip of the Hi-Lift and the bumper, so as not to dick up the 8 day old powdercoat)

Mike

 

[HARDTRAILZ]

Nice pics guys.

 

[Hotness]

Here's a few pics. I have a few videos too but tapatalk won't let me upload them. Had a great time despite the breakages. Hope to get out there again sometime this year.

The bumper actually only has a couple spots through the powder. We were super careful for the first few hours of jacking and such, but when it got to having the winchline ran and needeing to jack at the same time and such...we chose people safety over bumper looks. It looks like I got the jack in one spot on a vertical tube...did not notice at the time, but the other is headlight tube where jack slid some when wrestling the tire straight. I used some electrical tape for bandaids and it blended amazingly well and will hopefully keep rust away...

Thanks again everyone. I would help any of you and owe you all for everything. Sorry it wasted the day.

The few pics I got.

This was a fun little notch we took after Scott tried to wedge me between some trees on a bypass...

I used the passenger power folding mirror option...wall of trench...but it went smooth with Scott spotting me.

Atleast I did SOMETHING good that day...

If you hadn't helped me out the night before, I wouldn't have made it to the trail. So thank you.

Any issues other than the dash lights? And dont pitch it...it is a great spare to have around. Yours is the third truck to use it, but the bearings are good even if the sensor is screwy.

So is your coil just collasped? Or did something else cause it?

 

[Hatchet]

Ummmm....no

i still want that video lol

Just the lights, I'll definitely be hanging on to it. The coil popped back up after we dropped Matt of with the food. Not sure what happened or caused it but it seems to be back to normal.
