NORCAL: Camping & Wheeling - Deer Valley - 8/23-8/25

Good trip everyone! Huuuge turn out. Thanks for coming. Big thanks to Jerry for taking care of the food situation. And thanks to everyone who helped out.

I only have one pic, and it was after the trip



In a nut shell, my e-brake failed. I jumped out to see what was going on ahead, my truck starts drifting back, I run back to it, open the door, hop in to hit the brakes, but as the door opens, it hits a boulder on the side of the trail. Good thing though, otherwise it would have drifted back 20 feet and slammed into my father in law's jeep. Oh and good thing I didn't get sandwiched b/t the rock and my door. So considering all that, good thing it happened the way it did. I just need to get a new door to get ready for another camping trip next weekend.

 

Bummer. Sorry to hear that MJ. sounds like it could have been worse and that you didn't get hurt.

 

damn that e break man it's given you nothing but trouble.

 

eesh dude thats rough, atleast you didnt get hurt.
also shouldve cut a face hole in the cardboard and taken a pic

 

which ones?

 

Thank Jon for putting together this hookup and for the invite, Jerry for hooking up the great grub, to all those who (Jerry, Jason, Alex, Jon and a host of others) spott'd me through the course and especially my wingman Scott!

Great seeing the wives and GFs come out, you really don't know how luck you are; it's tough getting some to come out to such a remote location with limited amenities.

Even though I also brought my camera, I was to busy keeping my jeep upright and forgot to snap some photos.... but I did manage a couple.

Thanks again all for a great weekend!!!!

 

Damn guys looks like a great time! Wish I coulda made it

 

Awesome trip guys great group we had a blast!

 

the food was YUMMY!!! THANKS!!!!!

did you end up running slick rock?!?!?!

 

Got caught making a jeep joke haha





Got Flex?



Greg was nice enough to point out the food we forgot on the trail.. thanks Greg.

 

Jerry, you sir, have a BAD ASS rig. Hats off to you man. From that first run at Eagle Lake to what it is now, BEAST. I hopefully will get my rig next year and hit some trails with you again.

 

I think I need to tag along for one of these camping trips one of these days. On another note I limited on rock cod and caught my first ling yesterday.

 

tam take me fishing idk how im srs im chinese and don't know how to fish

 

Thanks man it's came a long way from that day for sure. Get your rig so we can hit some trails i want to hit dusty soon and i think it might be a solid axle only trail

 

Yeah, me and my bro been talking about that trail too. Just have a lot on my plate but the plan is to have one by the end of the year.

 

from my friend max:

 

Here is the best 27 I picked from all the ones I took. Enjoy! (they are a little out of order but who really cares, also completely unedited so deal with it)







It wasn't flexing enough with both tires on the rock...

Much better, now only one tire on the rock (still not flexing as much as he wanted though)



Just letting it idle over rocks






The Heep flexing just like everyone else






The stare

 

nice!

 

What's the purpose of the cables from the bumper to the roof rack?
