Official Tennessee Thread

She is a verry pretty dog. Get some treats and teach har to come. You dont want her running off again.

 

Oh I have plenty of treats from my other dog already. The new puppy is already so attached she follows me everywhere. It’s pretty great since my other dog only chooses when he wants to heal or heals when I have treats only lol.

 

Puppies are the best. If I didn't live in an apartment and travel 9 months of the year, I'd have as many as possible.

Anybody know about this? Did they crash coming down the paved entrance road?

 

A few of us were at windrock but left early Sunday morning.

I’m assuming they went off the side of one of the trails. Most of these trails have an insane drop off right on the side.

 

Yikes.

 

Bummer. Interesting how most people get killed heading to and from camp on the more groomed connecting trails. Typically no belts being the other common denominator

 

I have really stated making myself wear my belt while wheeling. It sucks with it locking up all the time, but it’s better than being dead.

 

The locking up sucks when you have to get out on a funny angle and then you can’t get the belt back extended. Otherwise it doesn’t bother me at all. I’ve even bought new oem belts and recepticles in the last couple years to replace my old fraying belts and retractor that wasn’t locking and unlocking how it should have been. I had a buddy that I was spotting flop without his belt on, fucked his shoulder all up when he hit the passenger a-pillar.

It’s funny that I feel naked in the truck with no belt on but I’ve been thrown from a kart twice at 50 mph, once through a store front window and once into a telephone pole, and flipped 4 different times but I don’t even think twice about the possibility of getting hurt when I get in.

 

I can't speak to their situation, as we were already home when it happened. That being said, there was a significant amount of ass-hattery going on out there over the weekend, and high likelihood this is the first time a lot of these people have ever been out in a SxS or it was a new one. It's a very sad story no doubt, but I don't think we'll ever truly know the cause.

One of the rangers out there stopped us late Saturday to check passes and look in coolers. He and I got to talking, and he showed me a picture on his phone from a guy two weeks ago it there that had his scalp peeled back from his left eyebrow to the back of his neck. Took 150 stitches, and when they got to the guy his scalp was hanging down onto his left shoulder.

Things can turn bad really fast, and when you add in the element of vehicles, rough terrain, and remote locations...it doesn't take much to turn deadly. I feel like we've been really lucky with the few incidents we have had no one has gotten injured. I would gladly work on any of you, but I sure as hell don't want to.

 

Yeah the incident from this weekend that I keep coming back to was when you were spotting Matt up a steep climb on a blue and that asshat on a dirt bike just blew past the line of SxS and my truck and flew up the hill right by Matt's runner.

Seems like a really dumb idea to drive past someone when they are prone to slip or move in unconventional directions.

 

Thank you to @SemperHouse's awesome videographer skills this weekend:

 

Unreal man, thanks for calling him out so I could stop my climb. I didn’t even see him as he came out of nowhere and just kept going.

 

Its because #ultra4 #hoonigan #drunkdumbass #seatbeltsare4terrerists

That's my crashing while coming back to camp on groomed trail theory translated into millennial speak, you know so the children can learn.

That's why I like putzing along at 1mph, driving gideon insane, while looking at trees and listening to some tunes on my way back to camp.

 

I always wear my belt and usually insist passengers do as well. Safety first!!

 

If someone doesn't put their belt on in the floperator (pending it driving again) they are clearly suicidal.

 

Does anybody know which grease goes where? I can’t find anything anywhere that says which grease packs are for the inner or outer of the CV axle. This is the OEM rebuild kit

 

Here you go.

On the shaft then slide it in.


As to where to put it on the CV itself I have no idea.

 

Thanks that answered my question!
I had already looked at that post but I guess somehow I missed that part
