October 2015 Citrus/Croom Camp & Ride Weekend...

Yeah, thinking on it. Haven't the faintest idea how to get there and or where everyone's going to be at...

 

See page 1 lol

 

If not, I think we may meet near Sr 19 and the turnpike to meet up with some Orlando peeps. Call or text me 4074480871

 

Sent you a text Jon.

 

Well my steering rack is Shit and I'm surprised I didn't break the tie rod there will be plenty of pics and Frank took a video of us changing out my tire and trying to get the hilift to work thanks again to everybody that helped

 

i wouldn't count on frank putting up any videos.......he needs to "edit" the ones from the last 6 meets.....

 

Well then I guess it will never be seen them lol

 

Trucks in a row, Lee backs up and goes around, everyone follows. I follow Mike until the drop, I pause and watch and the beast advances, (drop followed by a loud clunk), then the sound of the 4 cylinder fills the forest, trying its hardest to reach the other side. Lee pulls up behind and yoked a couple times and she came free. Just a narration for all who weren't there lol

 

Lmao that about sums it up

 

Here's a few of the pics I got.

 

Here's what I got

 

Front axle shaft/u-joint didn't last long.

 

Dang it man I feel your pain

 

Ah, but I downloaded Frank's SD card Saturday night before we went to bed (in different tents you pervs), so you guys may see those videos sooner than expected.

I made it home without putting it in the ditch or having to call AAA. She's a bit wallowy and she's doing some weird torque steering when I shift gears. Not sure what that's about but I'm hoping it's all the same issue. I'll get her cleaned up and do some investigating this week.

On the bright side, I didn't break anything that wasn't broke before I got there and I was VERY happy with the OGT's new capabilities. She was crawling up stuff like it was nothing that used to eat her CVs for lunch. And while a certain hill climb at Croom still denied me, I don't feel as bad about it as I could since neither Todd or Wes with their dirty-5s made it as far as I did (although in fairness, Todd came really close, within a foot). I came extremely close to making it all the way. My tires were right there at the top. It just couldn't quite make the breakover.

I didn't get a chance to say it while we were there, but Spencer, ( @Sholden223 ) you did an AWESOME job getting up that muddy hill at Croom. Sure, Todd and I crawled it, but you got up there with open diffs and finding the right line. That was impressive as hell.

Anyway, I had a great time and it was nice meeting the new folks. It was an amazing weekend.

I still have to go thru my pics and vids (and Frank's vids from Friday and Saturday) but I should have some of them up soon.

 

Fastest I got up to was 65 or 70 after that ford that was broke. Try going about 35 and 40 at night not knowing shit haha. It was a blast. I have a few bids and pictures I'll be posting

 

Wish we could have stayed longer, but it's a two hour drive fir us.

 

Basically the same for me. Only way out there for me is 50

 

Pretty sure I went home with the most trail damage
