it's about time

here's all the pics a took of the weekend

the dunes

campers

our camp (my tent blown down by the wind)

the wind had its way with our tent

after the wind died and we set the tent back up

a pic from inside the tent. you can also see my shocks sittin on the ground

oooo baby baby

bad ass tundra we were drivin around with

picked up justin's 4runner saturday night and returned to see life guard stuck at camp

sunday morning we and lifeguard got stuck again. i think i got stuck like 3 times sunday morning. all within like ten feet of camp

siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiick

 

[lifeguard379]

WOW!!!! i never saw how much sand wasin your tent lol. geez

 

[clarkkent]

hehe thats a ridiculous amount of sand in your tent!! lol. whatsup matt!!! hey did u guys air down your tires? i thought you guys were 4wd. i'll show up next time for sure, gas sux.... hehe i live ten miles away.

 

[R.J.]

i WAS 4wd, until about 10 minutes of driving and i broke an axle

the sand was really harsh on us all weekend. i've never known sand to be so problematic

i was aired down to 12 psi and locked in the rear. when it was on top of the sand and away from camp, it did real well. some people still thought i was in 4wd. but once i'd get to camp, i'd sink

 

[lifeguard379]

lol so was i, till i blew up a hub. and i think i was at maybe 10 psi

New hubs just got hear today. Warn premium hubs

 

[lifeguard379]

i HATE! sand. turns out it wasn't the hubs that i broke. it was this.

was going to just put a locker in, till i saw it got the slinger to.

I wish I coulda made it out to this run. I've been so busy with work now. The computer's been down about the last 3 weeks so I havent even been able to get on here. Nice 4runner, I saw you guys at the bank last week. You commented on my truck, but I didn't know you guys were ef members. Hopefully I'll be making it out to the next run. Depends on where the gas prices go and if I can take the time off work.

 

[R.J.]

haha you figured out it was us!

wow, sorry to hear about that lifeguard

 

[lifeguard379]

o well it hapins lol

found out in another thread i should check the pattern and put in the spider from my other case and it should be good.
