Anybody Not Going To Harlan?

[Trigger]

Unfortunately, I can't go to Southern Shine, so I was thinking about hitting up some place closer, probably DTOR or Big Rock. Just throwing it out there.

[Flxratd]

i must be the only other person not going but my rig is dissassembled at this time so i wont be going there either.....have fun

I think the X90 would handle Dirty Turtle!!!! Probably even be able to do the bounty hill challange...:D

[Patrick45015]

I will be at my place riding. 40 min east of big rock off AA. Welcome to check it out

[tjrider]

As bad as I want to do Harlan, doesn't look like funds will permit such adventures. So I'm Down for a closer run. Preferably not haspin

[tjrider]

X2 on Scott's "other" zooky!!!!:thumbup:

[Trigger]

Well, I will be in a RZR, so I'm not doing any major crawling. I don't want to do Haspin either. Big Rock sounds pretty good.

[Flxratd]

X2 on Scott's "other" zooky!!!!:thumbup:

always have a backup plan(zuk) :thumbup:

[Mattnatti]

Aidajk and I are going to dirty turtle tomorrow...anyone is welcome to join in. We will be leaving around 8am.

[tjrider]

No jk trigger?

[Trigger]

No jk trigger?
No, we sold it and bought the wife a Grand Cherokee.

[tjrider]

Ahh yes! Compromise......

[tjrider]

I would like to check out the dirty turtle

[frankensteinxj]

Im not going. I may be down for a ridin at big rock or deep run.
Im sure ill have all the loose ends tied up on the xj by then

[tjrider]

Did you ever make it to deep run for your shake down Frankensteinxj?

[cincygman]

I might be with you Jeff. these last two weeks have not gone as planned. So a closer ride would work better for me too unless something really good shakes loose work wise......

[frankensteinxj]

Did you ever make it to deep run for your shake down Frankensteinxj?

Yeah we took my dads rig and a couple 4wheelers.

it was a really good time. I posted a few pics in the thread I had about it.

[itbrokeagain]

Not gonna make the Zoe run so I might be in for a big rock run. Possibly camp?

[tjrider]

Yeah Gary, it'll be tough dropping $250 for fuel plus food and entry fees. I really want see these bounty hills

[cincygman]

The Bounty Hills at Dirty Turtle were not that impressive to me. Just some straight up out of the creek runs. Not that my rig could climb them, I've just seen longer steep climbs that's all.

[cincygman]

Not gonna make the Zoe run so I might be in for a big rock run. Possibly camp?

Camping at least one night sounds good to me Tony. Just have to figure out where. I would like to go back to the Turtle when its dryer sometime :D

[tjrider]

I vote for the turtle

[gyger222]

So are you guys looking to camp Friday night the 25th then riding on Saturday? If you guys do that I'm in for Saturday. I've been itching to ride but somethings been going on every week.

[tjrider]

That sounds like an excuse to pound beers......:beers:

[itbrokeagain]

How far is the turtle? I am on the east side of cincy so big rock is about an hour. I do want to check out the zip lines though.......

[tjrider]

The turtle is @ 20 min past the speedway. I'm planning to head out sat morning if anyone wants to convoy. Gary might be with me too. Aiada....mattnati... you in? Lets put our party pants on fellas

[cincygman]

Its a 1-1/2 hr trip either way for me. If more peeps going to the Rock, I'm in for that. The Zip Lines do look inviting and maybe a nice way to cool down after a couple hours of wheeling the cager :D So.... go Saturday, camp, come back Sunday?

[tjrider]

Sounds good to me. I may or may not camp

[itbrokeagain]

Bible study I comitted to for 11 weeks Saturday. I may come sat night and camp but I am definitely in for Sunday. Mattnati needs to go. Need another 80 to wheel with

[gyger222]

So Big Rock or Turtle and what time? I'm about the same as gman, takes me 1.5hr any way I go to Big Rock, never been to Turtle but it sounds like its a bit farther. I've got church on Sunday so I'll be heading back saturday afternoon/evening.

[tjrider]

Looking like big rock to me. We could be there by 8:30.....

[in training]

im in for big rock:beers::beers::thumbup::thumbup:

[biggin69]

This weekend???

[itbrokeagain]

What day?

[cincygman]

This weekend???

Yes this weekend Sat. May 26th, Sun. 27th.

Tony, its cool, do your bible study and head on out. I'm sure a night ride will be in order so there will be plenty of wheeling to do :D You still have my number? Give me a call if you want or we will see ya sometime Sat. I will save ya a spot to set up camp.

gyger222, I applaud your commitment to church on Sun. I rarely ever miss but I believe God gave us this beautiful creation to enjoy and the vehicles to enjoy it. :thumbup: So this is my time to do it. Tony can share what he has been learning in his bible study Sun. morning by the camp fire. There really is nothing like sitting by the fire, hearing Gods word. :)

Mattnati, You up for it?

AidaJK11, How about you?

For those going Sat. We will meet at Big Rock in the parking lot 9:00 am, get signed in and go from there.

[biggin69]

I am going to try to bring the Heep. Cannot decide Big Rock or Badlands.....

[tjrider]

I'm gonna follow Gary out of Fairfield if anyone else wants to follow

[gyger222]

The earlier the better I say. Looks like its going to be hot on Saturday. Im off the rt 42 exit so I'm not going to head back toward fairfield. If you guys are taking 275 around then I'll wait till you guys pass by and follow.

gman, I'm too afraid to play sports or do my hobbies on Sunday. The jeep will brake down or I'll blow my knee out or something. It keeps me out of trouble at least.

[frankensteinxj]

I plan on probably a big rock trip sat or sun to test the water on my cherokee finally... (hopefully)

.l.:D.l.

[Coppertop]

If the rain stays away,widow maker should be dry enough to climb.

[tjrider]

Yes

[itbrokeagain]

My weekend has gotten more interesting. I have been asking my wife to go wheeling for years. She has only been once and it was unsuccessful. She is coming and my kids are too. Leaving Oakley after 430 church service on Saturday and possibly camping Sunday too.

Funny, I was thinking that last night while I was working on the rocker guards.........

[tjrider]

Plan on hitting it hard Gary? Should we bring a trailer?

[Drivermod]

It's not that bad even when its a bit wet. I drove right up it in my TJ locked in the front and limited slip in the rear.

[gyger222]

Im not sure about you and Gary but I'm driving there and hopefully home. I'm not hitting anything hard lol. Also since brokeagain is bringing his kids I'd say he'll be taking it easy as well.

Last night after church I took my wife and boy up into the woods behind the church. Now she and the boy want to go too Saturday also. I'm not telling them other women and kids are going or they'd be all over it.

[itbrokeagain]

Easyish. I do want to see what this turd will do.....

[tjrider]

I'm bringing my 6 year old and plan on giving widow maker the college try

[cincygman]

Easyish. I do want to see what this turd will do.....

Yes easyish :D is what I'm thinking, I Do have to drive back home so........ but I did break a CV in my friends backyard once too, taking it easy.... :eek:

[gyger222]

Well it looks like I'm out for Saturday. Something has come up at church that I have to take care of. It stinks but its more important than me having some fun. Hope you guys have fun. :(

[frankensteinxj]

if i go it will be sunday only

big rock.

gonna try to take it easy which is hard for me at deep run lol.

[cincygman]

so we are not meeting you at shell? OK, Dang..... Hope its not too serious. Was looking forward to some fellowship time with ya.

[gyger222]

Nothing too serious but pastor asked me to go make a visit with him to someone in my family. I just felt it was my responsibility to go with him. I think Im going to try to take the family over to big maples farm on monday for alittle bit. Next trip I'll try to make it with you guys. Hope you guys have fun and stay safe.

[tjrider]

I had a good time a big rock till my electric fan quit on me and I overheated ...... I forgot to bring my spare clutch fan. Oh well... that's life. Live and learn

[no mods]

I'll be out there tomorrow. Silver Late model Tacoma.

[tjrider]

Definitely lots of new hill climbs and trails out there

[itbrokeagain]

We are camped to the left. Look for the semi and the Taj mahal tent

[frankensteinxj]

Hopefully next weekend or maybe somewhere close tomorrow.

[itbrokeagain]

Yeah, that thing was A BEAST!!! but I like my Grand :D We had a great time. Tony lived up to his screen name ;-) my friend from church broke a berfield on the tires up front :( Jeff overheated the TJ..........
The new trails are great. as long as its dry they will be fun. When they are wet it will be interesting.......... We were out for all most 6 hours yesterday and didn't repeat any trails I don't think so anyway :) looking forward to going back and doing some more exploring.
As for pictures, since I didn't bring a camera man/women, I don't have very many. Took some video but now I have to go through it and upload it. Quality isn't that good so new video camera on the list of wheel-n expenses. :D

That's all I got.

[itbrokeagain]

I unfortunately did live up to my name. I did find it is a common issue and all my research so far points to the o2 sensor harness. Need a engine mount fix a wiring issue and of all things my driver door handle broke off. Good time though and I am happy with the yota. Definatly different

[cincygman]

Tony, being out there with your Family was great too. The kids were a lot of fun. Really hope to do it more this year and more.

[cincygman]

This is all I got too.......

Here are a handful of the more exciting ones...

All cleaned up and ready for 3D (Daily Driver Duty)

[cincygman]

Thanks for posting my awesome poser pic at the rock ledge Nick. I can't believe that I actually got a tire up on there without any lockers! Looking at the foreground, we sure did pile up a bunch of rocks to try and get you up and over it :eek: and the one of Tony's tire almost flatened with the the "flexing" of his rig :D Have you checked out your under carriage? You got any new beauty marks? What about Eric's rig, man, does he use that thing like it was meant to be wheeled :thumbup:
