Jambo '06 pics

[rockhound]

Some of those footnotes were pretty funny rockhound.  thanx for the pictures.  I see longfields in your future!  And the damage to your truck, you dented your truck more last week then i did to mine.

Hey Brad,
I think I dented my truck in one weekend more than you have the whole time you've been wheelin' it.
Thanks for the feedback.
Wow, you must be psychic. I do have Long's in my future. Can you tell if it's in the near future?

Oh Marlin, you listening?

[rockhound]

Wow RH, Just throughly enjoyed reading your page! Excellent narration and great pictures

Thanks Big Mike. You guys must have fast internet. I was afraid all those pics would take too long to load for you to wait.

I enjoyed Friday and Saturday. Sunday came too soon.

    Great pics and website rockhound.  I had a great time wheeling with you and everybody else and tell your daughter I think shes gorgeous.  Here is the link to my pics.   That page is shared by my sister and another friend but the hammers pics are the first ones on page one http://s20.photobucket.com/albums/b225/nomayota/

Hey Pat,
Wow, you got some great photos. I like the one of your rig in the middle of a gnarly section, right in the middle of the buggies.
Thanks for checking out the site. I posted this last trip up in between unpacking, taking back the rentals, working on and scheduling my next jobs.

I appreciate the support and enjoy hearing your feedback.

I wish I had more time to wheel and wrench on my rig. I'm going to need it now!

I'll be sure to tell Erin. i'm glad she came with us. She got some great shots and had a blast out on the trail.

[Hyena]

Ya, Erin is a cutie for sure.  I am glad she had fun.  I still can't believe you got the RV stuck in the sand, that is great!

[gotrocks]

hyena so how long until you have to ditch the body.  I don't think you have one straight body panel left on that thing. 

I am so jealous of you guys, I hope I came come down and wheel the jambo someday.

"And I am proud to say that I did both Jack Hammer and Outer Limits without ANY body damage or any broken parts!! HA! Take that Hammers!  I came and I conquered." hay mike real men stay to the left.  CJ

I am thinking the bed will be ditched farely soon.  Maybe build another flatbed or maybe i can see if i can buy my old flatbed back, hmmm.  I would like to either dovetail the front or tube it.  But that will be later on down the road.  The cab is gonna stay for awhile.

So that pitman arm thing happened on the lakebed??  

I'm just jealous.  Wish I could have run a trail with you guys.  Work sucks.

[Shamb]

Nice carnage Pat, they don't call it "Hammers" for nothing

[BigMike]

So that pitman arm thing happened on the lakebed??   

Pitman arm thing? Did CJ break a pitman arm? I never got to wheel with that squirrel

[4.3 headache]

Big  mike, GREAT PIC'S!!!!  that was a ton of fun wheelin w/ you, marlin, lilbuddy & everybody!  hope to do it again soon.

one question though...  Did anyone but that pretty girl, from the toyota owner mag, get pic's of my truck on it's side when my dad rolled it ??

[4.3 headache]

oh & btw I did a 1 wheel stand on the lakebed last year doing the same thing as lilbuddy.  when the truck came down I blew out the passenger side rear....a buggy watched me do it , laughed his butt off while I cleaned my shorts out

[Hyena]

I have to say, after watching Hyena and BBW wheel up Jack Hammer, it's no wonder those guys break stuff every weekend!! HA! I don't even think they take time to plan out and consider a line, they just Hammer Down! and Get er DONE! After they would get up a rock, they would keep moving and everyone would be like "STAY ON IT!! HAMMER DOWN! DON'T LET UP!!" and then they would bash around and fall into another hole or diff grabber hahahaha but they sure do put on a show

lilbuddy has single cases with 37s and from what I saw he tries his best to "Go Easy".

I wanna get out more with you and those guys, Hyena, BBW... Definitely keep me in the loop after school gets out for some runs up Rubicon or what not. I would love to wheel with you guys again. Good times

Hahah.  It's kinda like fallow the leader.  If Pat goes one way, i go that way too and vise verse.  Its really fun not worring about hurting the truck anymore.  I must be blink otr something though.  Because i would just be driving nicely looking infront of me and then hit a rock on my front diff i didn't see.  Then i would look around and make sure no one else saw it.  But the run up Jack Hammer was something else.  Erin (Al's-rockhounds daughter) was watching so we had to put on a show.

That's all ya needed to say

Big Mike, I think he broke the shaft in the steering box. He drove it back to camp and the splined shaft (sector shaft?) coming out of the box looked like it was bent or broken inside the housing. His pitman came loose earlier and they tried to tighten it.
It looked crazy when he turned the steering wheel side to side, as he drove, but the wheels stayed straight !

[lilbuddy]

Ill put up a few anyway... Well heres almost all of them

The first few are of Mike and I in Fresno then in Bakersfield. Then the first pics are of Jackhammer on Friday. Once you get the the back side view of my truck with the line of trucks thats Saturday morning and that is on Outer Limits. I had a blast. That had to be one of the coolest times ive had before. Such a great trail and awesome people out there.




In this one I bet Tim (Turbo) that he couldnt climb to the top... I lost 

[lilbuddy]

I have a lot of good pics of all the guys that I was runnin a trial in so if you see some that you might like let me know. Thats only like 60 of the 150 that I have.
