Return From Paragon June 2003

[JDraper]

Just thought I'd start a thread for pix, stories, bs'ing about our latest jaunt out to Paragon.

Here's the first pix:

Chris decided that his X was really the S.S. Explorer and went swimming.

Matt liked the idea, so he went for a dip too After watching the water come up on Matt's hood, the rest of us decided that we didn't feel like a bath....

hehehe, look at the Super Scammy flex

I had a great time, and surpisingly, nothing seems broken, and I wasn't exactly taking it easy for a mainly stock truck. I did tear another sidewall, good thing these Coopers are pretty thick, that brings the total to 3 torn sidewalls, still holding air. I think I'm gonna try to melt some more rubber into the wounds to fix them and keep em from tearing anymore. I did add a little more custom bodywork, and pinstriping as well, and of coarse, can't make it up Whompum hill, again

Hehe, Sammy did Whompum on the first try......with open diffs!!

Going Up!

The Good Ship Sammy.......which required a front axle lube drain and change this afternoon due to said action in the pond!

The Rat attempting a nasty muddy climb. He never did make it up to the top . At least he didn't blow a sidewall out here like Parli did!

 

[JDraper]

YobYeknom thinking about the hill....................Naaahhh!!!

 

[JDraper]

I think I can, I think I can, I think I can..

 

[JDraper]

Is this kinda like "Where's Waldo"????

 

[JDraper]

I hear mud facials are good for the complexion.....

Matt on Rattler, Part II

Pictures do that no justice. The rattler looks like a paved road in the first pic and it was far from that. The pic of Mat in the water crossing isn't even in the deepest part.
