Richloam WMA Info & Meet Thread

Citrus was pretty dry and dusty...to the point where it was tough to even see the trail, much less the truck in front of you, at times if you weren't in front. There were a couple mud holes with pretty deep ruts though. It was fun.

 

Here's the final video from citrus lee

Bump

 

I liked richloam over citrus. I vote a richloam meet halfway through July or late June. Maybe we can talk it over at the tamorlando meet?? I'd also like to propose a night meet.

 

Richloam is a good place to trail ride, but there's not a lot of technical wheeling to be done there (if any). Still, if air box number 3 is the correct one, I might be open to a mid-June Richloam trip to finish off my wheeling for the summer, but only because I said I'd be down for it earlier. Honestly, I think it might be a little wet out there ATM and it's probably only going to get worse from here on until next winter. Still, I imagine we can find some trails out there that aren't too bad.

 

I'm not into that rolling my truck over to get up a hill stuff. Honestly I just like to get out on the trails and take it easy. It's been raining lately so it will most likely be wet in the north end.

 

Haha, I used to think just like that back in the day. I always liked mud better because there wasn't much chance of body damage or rolling the vehicle. I didn't really discover technical wheeling until I got the OGT. When I did, I was hooked though. Honestly, if you don't get crazy, there's really not that much chance of rolling your truck. Could it happen? I suppose there is a chance it could, but if you have a good feel for your truck it's not that big a threat...less likely than hyro-locking your engine playing in the mud, IMHO (at least here in Florida).

Crawling and hill climbing is a bigger adrenaline rush than mud is and it's a lot more challenging, both for the truck and the driver.

 

I'm not much for mud either, especially the cleanup. I do enjoy it from time to time but I'd rather ride a moderate/mid wet trail.
I just want a 4wheeler already.

 

Ahrite, now that it appears that the OGT is back in running trim, who's up for a Richloam trip on June 20th or 21st?

 

I'm up as always

 

Cool, cuz, you're the primary reason I'm down for this instead of bangin' out for the summer. I said I'd ride Richloam with ya so I will. Sorry it took so long to get my shit together.

Any preference for which day?

 

Any day you choose. I just need a week in advance to request off for work.

 

K, then unless someone wants to go that can't make it Saturday, let's plan on Saturday.

I might be able to come as a passenger since I know I won't have a clutch by then

 

Bring it. I'm sure we'll find a seat for ya. Too bad though. I would have liked to see more of the Thorny Panda in action. You definitely have the ground clearance for wading through the water out there now.

On another note; you've toasted your clutch already? How many miles are on it?

 

I would like to bring it but yeah shit happens when you don't get the good stuff the first time and I might have 9-10k on it it's been almost a year since I've changed it @Taco No Baka

 

@michaelrussell Huh. How many miles were on the one before this one? I got an Aisin kit from @RockAuto for under $300 when I did mine. I'm pretty pleased with it. It engages smoothly, grips well, and doesn't kill my leg while wheeling. Of course, I only have about 1k miles on it thus far so I can't really say how durable it is.

Oh and I meant bring yourself, not the Thorny Panda (unless you want to).
