Windrock July 2018

[Runoveru2]

Our trip to Windrock

[WrenchMonkey]

Oh. We had talked about getting back to Rush for 4th of July. Guess not?

[WrenchMonkey]

S'all good, we were supposed to do Rush again for Labor Day anyway.

[93 Krawler]

I really wanted to hit windrock this year, so no Rush for me.
Group going so far is Pat, Chris, Mark, Crawford, Ben, and me.
This group hits the hardest stuff we can find. If you're not into broken parts and body damage then you might not want to try then follow this group.
There will be two razors in this group and we will most likely just do some fast pace cruising through the trails and get as far out as we can in the park and Explore.

If you are into just small climb or easy trails, you may want to think twice about running with this group. Kevin and I, if not running extreme stuff with buggies will be blazing trails averaging 30 to 40 MPH. :rotf:

Due to the Rescheduled June Windrock trip I will be unable to attend the July Rush trip...also..has the date been selected for the June Cookout at Rich's place?

I'll be leaving mid to late morning on thurs and hope to be camping down by the bath house.

I'm working on getting the day off for Thursday so I can head out in the am also.

[93 Krawler]

I will take off Thursday so I can leave in the am too. 9 am sounds good. :thumbup:
Looks like we will be camping in 2 different spots. Mark. Ben, and Jimmy will be camping primitive, and Pat, Chris, and I will be in the full RV hookups.

As long as you can dodge the 3' diameter rocks littered all over the "easy" trails you should be good!

[Smiddy24]

I will not be able to attend this one. I need new shocks first.

It depends on if he can move his radiator in time. I may be able to attend this run, but I can't get off Thursday or Friday. :thinking:

[Smiddy24]

Also depends on if he wants to run out there since we just got back from Moab. Was a very expensive trip for me since I had to buy a new Electric fan and driveshaft..

[jeepmanjeff]

We have a site reserved for Friday and Saturday. We will leave as soon as Zach gets home. Our site is B3

Sweet. You're a row back from us. Pretty close. :thumbup:

[93 Krawler]

We are in A8 9 & 10

[93 Krawler]

For those that haven't been there before, do not take any other route off 75 other than exit 122 "TN-61 W/N Charles G Seivers Blvd" You will hate life if you do. My GPS lies every time I go.

Do you have more direct directions? Or if I take this exit will
My GPS direct me correctly from there to the campground?

Chris had to back out, so that means there is a full hookup rv spot open next to me and pat. Any takers before i cancel his spot?

Change of plans for us, we will be leaving Friday by 12pm at the latest. I was able to get a half day at work! :thumbup:

[jeepmanjeff]

I am stoked for this. I have wanted
To go to Windrock for years!

That kinda sucks cause that only leaves you Saturday to wheel. By the time you get there on fri, register, setup camp and setup rigs, the day is gone As long as yur good with that, it's all good.



Well I just got hired on and I’m missing training to leave early Friday. So it’s the best that I could do. Just means we’ll have to get through a lot of stuff come Saturday

^^^^ Agree lol or at least they can pick us up and head back out there. I'm leaving work at 10:45. So I'm guessing we will be there around 3:30pm - 4:30pm

[Runoveru2]

I get off work Wednesday morning at 5am and I'm done till Sunday Evening, I will be ready to Roll out in the Early Am Thursday Morning...preferably around 5am to beat the traffic.

Just enough to keep the dust down...weather has improved since you posted this.

[93 Krawler]

Not looking like dust will be an issue. A pop up shower will feel good in the 90's...

[Smiddy24]

Guess I need to bring the windshield and figure out why the wipers are staying on when the key is turned to run. Didn't have this issue while out in Moab.

[93 Krawler]

Come on Thursday... :clapping:

[Runoveru2]

Ready to get traction again, it's been a while.

[Smiddy24]

Did you make the modifications for the new tires to fit? Or did you have to go with some wheel spacers?

[Runoveru2]

Didn't have a choice due to the backspacing of the Aluminum Wheels, I had to add 1.5 inch to each wheel to get it right.

[Smiddy24]

Looks good and aggressive! Can’t wait to see how it does.

Got to windrock about 12:30 and it had just quit raining. The lady that checked us in said had rain for 3 days.

Me and Jimmy went scouting for some good trails and we came up one that had water rushing down it like a creek for like a mile. It was definitely different. There's so much Rock in the soil that you don't even get muddy.

After riding for 3 hours this is all I got on my RZR.

I blew a brake line the second I pulled away with the trailer. Better to happen here at home thats for sure. Wish I was there.....

So not gonna head down today??

[WrenchMonkey]

That sucks...

Fwiw, I put the same kit on my Burb a couple years ago. Or, actually, I paid Robbi to do it. Far as I know, he was able to bleed it normally. I had heard the same thing about having to cycle the ABS, but he said he didn't...

I did the full stainless line replacement on mine last year. The really long line that goes from the ABS module all the way to the rear axle was a PITA as it threads in between the frame and gas tank. A second set of hands would probably make it a lot easier. I did wind up taking the bed loose on the driver's side and jacking it up about 3-4".

No problem bleeding the brakes that I can tell. After doing the initial bleeding I took it out on some gravel and did a few panic stops to activate the ABS, then bled them again.

[Runoveru2]

Not what I wanted to see in my rear differential inspection hole after Windrock.

This will put me outa commission for Rich's place so that I can get apart and salvage the New Heavy duty Toyota pinion Bearings I installed last year when I had the Diff out from breaking the rear Chromoly axle.

(lesson Learned)
If you loose all your gear oil like I did in October 2016 at Harlan and drive it back to camp thinking it's (LUBED or WET ) enough you will learn the hard way...This did cause some minor damage that I thought would be ok..I was wrong..
But I'm also sure that going from my I slicks to 40 inch Stickies with surprised traction didn't help either.

Will have to setup new gears and break in properly before Golden Mountain. (If all goes Well with that)

Bent up another custom sleeved Drive shaft that I was told I wouldn't bend without tearing up something else. So I am gonna beef up even heavier and see what bends/ breaks next.

I looked Saturday, i do have fresh driveshaft if you wanted to resleeve another.

[Runoveru2]

Absolutely Ben,
I am officially outa functional driveshafts at the moment, I'm trying to at least get 1 together to break in the new set of rear gears I just installed.

[bbtank45]

I fixed an ongoing issue with 14bolt hub studs working loose....and pulling threads. Went to studs and hardened nyloc's

Will the wheel come off without interfering with the washers that are sticking out past the flange OD? Looks close.Easily, yes....its actually not even close, I'll show u at GMP. I put the wheel on after I swapped to studs on both sides.
