[Trckmagik]

I will not be there. My 1996 F-150 was involved in a accident last night and is ow totalled. Being that this is what I use to pull the truck it looks like I wont be there. Also never finished the work on my trail explorer.

 

[eXXXplorer]

I'll be there.

 

[dejello]

I'm there.. sorry to hear about that brian, everyone ok?

 

[Trckmagik]

Yes, all are fine. Insurance is going to fix it. 4,100.00 worth in damage. But will not have it back by Gilmer trip.

this is a generic map of how to get there.

you can do a google map search for Barnwell Mountain Gilmer Texas and get more complete directions/maps if you need. we will be there Friday night and Saturday. there will be a campfire and much beer consumed (that night, not on the trail).

getting ready to start loading up. bump.

 

[swak6287]

y'all have fun and take tons of picts.

 

[james t]

just got back, and im so tired i cant even think straight. ive got a few pics, but sureshot40sw got most of the good ones. ill try and get more up tommorrow. Dejello is now considered the only big dog i know of on 33's. i cant even believe some of the trails he did with little or no trouble. we somehow got invited to run with another group which consisted of-

dana60/70 chevy with 44's

2 wranglers on 33's

a cut to hell blazer on 35's

we did mostly 3-4 rated trails. oddly enough, it seemed as though i had more trouble than dejello did. one thing i learned (which i already knew) is that i need more wheelbase.

ill let dejello explain this one.

 

[james t]

....here's another of 'jello. hard to tell from the pic, but that is a steep @ss hill.

Um, it had something to do with rocks... You mean there wasn't a grocery store there?

 

[SVO]

Damn, looks like Jello was getting a little crazier than last time!

 

[james t]

dejello was full on hardcore plain and simple. i was nervous at the begining that maybe i would take him on some trails that would get him in trouble, but that fear quickly fell to the wayside once i saw him wheel.

here are a few carnage pics of mine. i have no idea how the fender flare stayed on, as the top of the fender is dented in now-

rear has some rash down to the old paint and a busted side marker-

i dont have many pics, gotta wait for sureshot to get his developed and ill post more.

 

[james t]

here is another one of 'jello. if he had some lockage on the front to go along with the rear he would have been unstoppable.
