Official JOHN Bull / Holoclomb /Dishpan RUn

I'd go but it's a little early for me.

I fly into LAX at 1am 10/11.

 

Was hoping to go, (mh.meier) Mike is coming to town but won't be leaving Tuscon til late Friday night or Saturday so we will have to pass on this one.
Definitely would like to make a run to JV soon tho, keep me in the loop for that one

 

Set one up. I am in for a run there. Have not been out there since my dirt bike days..

 

Thanks for the offer... I may just be caught up enough to make it a 2 day trip. But I will not know until the week of the run...

 

Songs good, I haven't been the JV since forever, literally never been. You'd think with all the places etc I have gone that would be a place I frequent yet I have never been there.
I would like to lean on Tom to lead that one. A few of the other JV regulars are all gone and moved up to Montana....

 

Speaking of Jon B.

He used to lead an IFS friendly run at the Tin Benders Jamboree ever year at the Hammers. He would always pick some crazy routes that were pretty fun. One year there were a few jeeps with us and one of the drivers got so frustrated at his newly built Rubicon that he left mid run. He literally said fuck you guys as he left. He was frustrated because our IFS rigs went through everything with no problems but his jeep kept getting hung up...on everything lmao. Wasn't the rig..it was the driver!! I have pics that I need to dig up of that run.

 

That sounds like a good time. Definitely driver it sounds. Even stock Rubi's do pretty good when running with IFS rigs.

 

It's just painful how much flex you can get with a Rubicon and $5-6k. I build them all the time at the shop, throwing one tire 30-35" up and keeping the others planted.

But then everytime I see a JK trying to plow through a desert wash I remember why I love my IFS

 

Scott is going to be camping the 11 th out at cougar buttes. He's going be having a group of Jeepers coming out for the day, and plans on running them thru Motino wash, Rattle snake canyon.

 

Yeah but I would give up hi speed for flex in the big stuff any day. That's why some day I will be doing an SAS.

 

After trying both, I've come to the realization that rock crawling really isn't my thing.

Somebody told me once that the difference is like chess and checkers. One game is very fast paced and quick thinking, the other is a very slow game that requires lots of planning and thinking 10 moves ahead. Best analogy I've heard yet.

I just don't like spending 8 hours to drive 3 miles. I'd rather see more of the scenery and landscape.

 

If you had a taco setup like mine you can do both equally as good as the other

 

I've heard Tom typically starts out slow with a nice rhythm, will hit it hard a few times here and there and then back off some but always likes to finish off with a good hard high speed pounding.

Definitely sounds like he has his truck set up nicely

 

It's called. ..momentum

 

I just go as hard and fast as possible but only last for a short time....... what? just me?

 

Great analogy.
My fast days are behind me though. Raced motocross for years and did a lot of desert stuff back in the day. Wide open 5th gear whoops sections with not much room for error. So going fast in a truck just seems boring. I much prefer to think of how to get past an obstacle than just go fast down dirt roads. But that's the beauty of off roading so many different types. something for everyone..

 

Well i am back we still doing this trip like Leroy jenkins?

 

I is a go son....
