Some ice, some mud, some very sharp, sidewall piercing rocks, but great weather and we had a blast. Thanks Boomer and Cybergasm. Sorry more couldn't make it. You missed one of the best runs over Cleghorn.

Pictures coming soon...

...i know you left that space in the first pic because that is where my rig should be...:p:
 






What a nice run too bad more people couldn't have made it:p:
But it was a good run little icy in spots muddy in others lots of the trails were rutted out from the recent rains but we got through most of the trails without incident except for one:mad:

so i suffered the only major trail carnage of the day:(:thumbdwn:
which ended up being a blown right front tire from a branch or rock I think:scratch:
and then add on top of that we could not get spare off:eek: ended up borrowing Boomer's spare to get off the trail and then found a local shop in town with a welder to tack the spinning stud and finally get the spare off and on the truck.

So now it looks like i am on the hunt for new tires the week before Truckhaven.......this will be fun :rolleyes:

You guys had a great time there! Cyb, the Ex looks great without the bar and carrier! The missing man formation there represents all of us that couldn't make it, right? Who thought of the pic/pose?
 






...so where boomers truck about got creased by the rock, is that just before stic-o's landing...:scratch:

i think that just way it happened don't think were trying to get any particular pose there.
 






...cyber, for price comparison 4wheelparts has your tires for 150 each...try discount and big O for 10% discount...also, dr has some 33's for sale too...;)
 






Yea i wish i had 150.00 right now but the holidays are still killing me right now
hopefully I'll find something before truckhaven.
 






Hey cyber what size tire is that?
 






looks like you guys had a good time:thumbsup: What's with the driving around the rocks though?:confused::p:

and not a word about the bumper! I'm gussing one of the studs started spining with the lug nut? Thoses studs use to be tack weled:scratch:
 






It was a pleasure meeting you two, Cyber & Boomer. Sorry I didn't get to say goodbye - I was sidetracked correcting a nightmare I made in my knitting :rolleyes: But it was very nice to get to chat with you both :):thumbsup:
 






Well, I've officially made it home...and I had a really good time...:D

Once again a big thank you to Ritsui and Cyber for taking the risk of letting me come and play, and to Khiori for letting it happen as well as the awesome dinner...:)
I'm just totally stoked that I was able to sweet talk my t-case into 4lo which saved me from the overheating trans.;)

Stic-o-I really wanted to slide over that rock, but I let them talk me out of it...:confused:

Ritsui-I forgot to ask about the springs so please pm me a price...:thumbsup:
