Thread for pics. Post up what ya got.

Friday had spotty rain. Sat and Sunday were beautiful enough it made up for Friday. Great times. I'll try to add the run if I remember which it was.

Got to Mason Jar (I think) around dark. Apparently need a better camera for night pics (or rigs to stand still). These are all I got. Mark, Scott and Kevin went up.

It is a GREAT place to wheel. Not to mention one of the most beautiful places I have been to.

I created a category in the gallery for this run. If you're a paid member, feel free to add pics. Otherwise, I'll grab them and add them to it as I have time (give us some new stuff to flip through the random pics.

I had a blast. I planned on doing Mason Jar this trip for the first time. I didn't think we would be doing it at night though. :sweatin:
Sunday after everyone left, me and Mark took off with Hodgie and Tim as passengers and went looking for some nasty stuff. We did Lower Damnation, Middle & upper rock garden, and some others I don't remember the name of. It was an awesome weekend. :thumbup:

Looks awesome...I can't wait to get out there later this summer. Just curious which trails result in less body damage? I had heard that Mason Jar can be done without any significant damage, is this true? I don't mind a little damage but I'd prefer not to destroy my rig, lol. Been there done that :D

05-31-2011, 07:17 PM

got pics. did anybody go back and try lower profanity. did you go through can opener or bypass that like i did. 40" of water kept me from givin it anymore of a try.

We went by lower profanity again sunday evening and it still looked muddy as hell. Nope, never did can opener. Maybe next time. :thumbup:

If I had kept my doors on, I would have crunched my door a bit on Mason Jar. My tube doors took the scrape on the tree instead. Other than that, I didn't get any. Well, do back windows count? I won't mention Tim's name, :evilgrin: but the passenger side head rest some how ended up blowing out the rear window.

The only thing that bit me was my leaf spring when I slipped and dragged my leg on the way down. That chit hurt. :(

So then Mason Jar will almost surely lead to some body damage? Regardless I still want to do it...I don't mind a few dents, just adds to the collection.

Jeff d.... nice buggy!

Who's the buggy on first page w the sticky trepadors? Someone on here?.. like that one too...

Who had the worst carnage on the trail/ broke the worst? And was it crowded down there seein how it was holiday?

Flxratd

06-01-2011, 06:33 PM

the buggy on the treps was from m and m fab from south carolina i think. super nice rig on 4wheel steer spider 9s and a nice crisp v8.

in our group we had a tsl get trashed and a charging issue on another but nothing to bad. i know the jwend group was doing some wrenching maybe he will tell.

and it wasnt crowded at all. middle rock carden was probably the worst and it wasnt that bad

yellowjacket

06-01-2011, 06:42 PM

Is middle rock garden the one above little jagger that all the dd' s do or is it the hilly one split in half by the trail itself .... I get them mixed up.

Flxratd

06-01-2011, 06:51 PM

the hilly one above grape vine. the pic of that buggy is on little jagger though

Jeffd

06-01-2011, 09:04 PM

Thanks yellowjacket it`s been a lot of work couldn`t have done it without some great friends it still has a few bugs but we are working them out .We ran pretty hard all weekend with no failures on my buggy except for the winch getting a hydro line in the race in the field.

06-01-2011, 09:50 PM

our breaks were also minor for the most part (all were expected) dana 30 ring and pinion cooked,, waggy 44 long side front snapped (motor was a 383 sroker) one of our buggys spread open the yoke on his rear hybrid 60 and boomhauer wasted a rear drive shaft...... myself wasted my brakes and that was it.... good weekend over all!! going back in july when the jeep is finished....
