Oct 14th-16th The Rubicon

[Shamb]

I'll be heading in after work so I probably wont get home til 5:00 and then i've got another 2 1/2 hr drive from there... so im guessing around 7:30-8:00ish at the trail head.

[TEXXX]

how big of a group do we have?

[Hyena]

when do you plan on going Ben?

[Ramrod]

I'll meet up at the trailhead at 8:oo I think

[TEXXX]

whenever it doesnt matter to me! I aint got sh*t to do.

[Shamb]

I think its about 12 people so far, but only 5 rigs because the majority are cruising in on quads and dirt bikes.

[toynorcal]

Hyena, Texx, BBW, Shamb, Rudy, Devon and Myself.  I count 7 Rigs if Devon makes it, plus there is 2 more that aren't sure if they will come. And the guys on bikes! Sounds like good times!

[Shamb]

bad axle seal today, pulled the driver side apart and replaced all the seals along with the wheel bearing seals... HOPEFULLY its okay now..

still gotta replace rear main in the output shaft and figure out whats going on with my CB situation..

Should be ready by Tuesday, gonna pack on Thursday so i've just gotta jump in and go come Friday afternoon.


CB Ch. 12!

[Ramrod]

well I beat on my truck pretty good yesterday and it held up fine so I think I am perfectly ready to go wheelin this weekend. 

[Hyena]

TTT, everyone is still going right?

[Ramrod]

I'll be there

[toynorcal]

I'm there, I was just over at Shamb and Rudys and they aren't missing this either. The only thing that has changed is possibly the camp site because we may not be getting to the trail head until 4:30 now. I am not sure what the place is called but here is a picture of where we might be (it's just off the right of the trail and has an outhouse if that helps) and of course if we aren't there keep truckin 'till you see our rigs.

[TEXXX]

ellis creek??

[TEXXX]

i'll be there.

[Shamb]

yea we'll all still be there, trust me.. we're not missing this for anything ... haha..

i'll be there.. leaky t-case and all..


tomorrow i've just gotta fix that T fitting below the master cylinder thats leaking brake fluid.. and pack 'er up..

i'll be ready to go by tomorrow hopefully  (Cross my fingers)  I dont wanna jinx it.. (knock on wood) 

[Hyena]

Looks like the middle of Walker, inbetween the hill climbs.  thats good.  then i can roll it right next to camp 

[Shamb]

Yea we saw a 70 year old guy up there in a Wrangler bust 2 tie rod ends coming down the hill   

we helped him out until he got back on the trail again, he was thankful... we felt good about ourselves

[RHG]

You guys need to set up a channel for your group so you can stay together and know where everyone is going to stop. Anybody got a spare 2.28 and a dual x-member I can borrow? I'd go if I had that. Guess I'll just have to wait for next season.

[Ramrod]

Where ever you guys go I will be there.  If I don't show up by 11:00 come looking for me.

Aww Come on RHG, me and my buddy don't have Duals and we are still going...didn't you make it to the springs for MCR4? You should come and wheel your junk just because you can bro! And yes we are going to run the same channel if everyone remembers.

That sounds like the right spot Hyena... and yeah man, I got it up on one tire going up the hill in the back-ground of this camp. First one to roll gets a free beer!  

[RHG]

Oh I made it to the springs for MCR4 but not in my truck!   I rode with Over Rev who has got a highly built Runner. Check out my signature. Thats what I am running. Plus I already got screwed into some plans this weekend I'll make some improvements over the winter and I'll be ready for the rocks next season

[Hyena]

Yep.  I rolled it right beforew the first hill during MCR4.  I love that spot.  Its not actually on the hills but right before the first hill.  Drive up the left side of the trail and put the drivers side on a granite salb type thing.  the right side goes in the ditch and try to climb up he hill.  A little scarey the first time.

[Ramrod]

willl a good motorola  walky talky be able to talk to you guys on the cb if  I have it on channel twelve.

I dunno, but I will bring a couple motorolas...their range isn't very good but it should work.

[Hyena]

My cb don't work, i can only hear people talk.  And Texxx doesn't have a cb.  I will see if i can get a couple walkie talkies.

[Ramrod]

just changed my exhaust manifold gasket.  What a B**ch.  Now I am going to put my flow master back on with a few mods.

[Hyena]

those are a pregnant dog.  i had to change mine twice in one month.  The first time is when the gasket blew.  the second time one of my studs stripped out and later fell out.  I had to helicoil it the second time and it has worked ever since.

[Ramrod]

I just got back from my friends house doing some "exhaust customizing"  it now actually sounds pretty good and you can definitly hear it. also 0 leaks

[TEXXX]

my exhaust is just one big leak!
