was a little too blunt when speaking his mind

 

Damn you all! Now I can't look at the front bumper side profile without seeing the overhang of the ARB into the fender well.

I need to look at the lines, but I think the grinder is going to come out.

 

maybe we should have a bumper day. ever since cutting my fenders, I need to adjust the tubes on my rear, so they terminate in line with the bedsides

 

Nah, Just do a tube bed

 

Is work sending you out to Idaho anytime soon? I could use an exo cage of sorts haha

 

hold your horses, we'll get there

not that I know of. got 3 years of hard time in MD coming up, and then who knows where.

 

Damn. haha

 

Gonna be there before november/december?
I'll (probably) be in central VA this winter and wouldn't mind driving for a little wheeling, and i know a guy in MD that'd go wheeling.

 

currently scheduled to move there May 1st.

going to be busy as hell with work, but there will be lots of wheeling. already working on a couple of summer meets.

 

Well colin, cross your fingers and throw some good mojo my way for my house to sell, because that is all we are waiting on for the move to Richmond. bad thing is, if it doesnt sell soon I am afraid I will have to split the household and move out there by myself for a couple months and wait for it to sell for my wife and our son to come join... and i really dont want to do that, he is 2 and I feel like I would be missing out on way to much, not to mention the help that my wife needs around the house to take care of things (as any mom needs a dad to complete the family)

anyway, throw some good vibes this way and maybe I can join ya on a few rides!!!

 

Best of luck! I know what it's like being away from loved ones. haven't spend more than 5 days in a row with mine since May. can't wait to get to MD in that regard.

put your big boy pants on! at least one trip to Rausch, one to the Cove, and then i'm working on trying to get into a couple of places that just opened within the last year. little harder to get into those, but i think i'm workingwith the right groups, and have the right "i'm good friends with so and so" kind of connections. also want to get out to Crozet, but that's nto a priority compared to the other ones.

 

Starr Hill is in Crozet... they make Lucy... Lucy is amazing... my heart belongs to her...

 

I've never had her outside of VA... they didn't' even distro to Maryland when I lived on the shore.... such a shame...

 

When you say "the cove", you talking about Monteagle/tracy city, TN?

 

Gore, VA. private land with trails that match the quality/difficulty of Rausch Creek. a few times a year, they open up to the public with their "big dogs" meets, but thats just a clusterfuck with 300 jeeps and crowded trails. you can get in with much smaller private groups, as long as the group/organization/club has it's own insurance. i go with a jeep/land rover group called Off Camber Crawlers. usually a 15-20 truck group, devided into 3 skill/capability levels.
