Coppinger Cove Wheeling Trip! September 25-27

Yeah it was totally unlucky the front of my fender liner was hanging down and the water that pushed off the front waved and got scooped up and packed into the inner liner and up into the intake.

 

The cove is a fun place, hope you get a chance to ride with us soon

 

Cove was fun, i will say on the way back i was leading and it was dark and i accidentally made the wrong turn into a portion that i thought we had traveled down in a creek. Thank god i was going slow because it dropped off real quick and my hood went under the water for a sec. I threw it in reverse super quick. I know i have a snorkel but damn i dont like that feeling.

 

Whooo, lots to catch up on! Didnt get home til late thirty last night.

Man a freaking pleasure getting to meet and see all of y’all finally! Sorry that I didn’t get to say goodbye to everyone, came back across the creek and everyone had already rolled on out! Had a blast with all of you fine ladies and gents.

@JBTacoma @cubie @pdaddy @TacoAlaMode @synaps3 @TRD Tyler @Dirk Diggler @Brian422 ... hope I didn’t miss anyone

Thanks for trusting me not to get y’all lost in the middle of nowhere Glad we were able to get through it all with minimal damage and that everyone was able to get their rigs home on their own power.

It never fails that I leave the Cove without some type of damage. This time it’s a messed up driveshaft (if anyone has one for a V6, Auto, 4x4 DCSB let me know!), a slight dent in my passenger side rear door that happened on the way out yesterday, and a serpentine or supercharger pulley bearing that’s decided to start singing for me. But hey it’s all part of the adventure

Yes sir his name is Blake, I’ll share the link once he gets them up.

Loved the Samuri man

Yeah give me a few to see if I can get it up on the tube

Never

Dude, you freaking KILLED it! Still can’t believe you got all the way there and back with minimal winching

 

It's never good to ride in the dark when your not sure where your going for sure.

 

Been there done that haha

 

It was great meeting everyone, thank you for be a great guide, we need to do it again now that everyone knows what to expect.

 

Man it was awesome meeting you! The late night water crossings we did the first night was by far the most fun/scariest thing I’ve done in my truck very fun trip, thanks for putting it together

 

Is there a DS shop near you? If so take it and have them retube it for you. I'm dropping one off for a guy today that he beat up pretty bad sat. There's a website you can order a brand new one from for ~600 the whole thing then just get that one retubed for a spare. Great pics looked like a ton of fun I'm a little dissappointed I couldn't make it.

 

Of course man, just happy everyone enjoyed themselves. I’m so down! I know Windrock was mentioned too, I’m sure I’ll be headed there in the next month or so if we want to try to plan a trip there.

Glad you enjoyed it man not going to lie, I was extremely doubtful of a 2wd capabilities through that trail but you threw those doubts right out the window haha

can’t wait to move to AL to get to hang out and wheel with you folks more!!

next time for sure man, I’m always out and about so we’ll 100% be doing something again, soon!

I’m honestly not sure. I’ll have to look into it.

I’ve found a couple driveshafts in AL, one for $40 and one for $100 that look to be in solid condition. Figure I may pick one of those up and throw some new u-joints and carrier bearing on them and call it a day

 

I was actually planning a windrock trip the last weekend of next month! I was going to make a thread.

 

Thanks again Chris!

 

Hell yeah those are a steal!!! Scoop them up ASAP

 

lol no lie. And link the one you don’t buy to me so I can have a spare.

 

I plan on buying bofem just in case there is some fitment/incompatibility issues with either.... will sell after I get my sitch straightened out so will def let you know

 

Outstanding pictures. I don't normally get bothered by spiders but this one will haunt my dreams. Looks like some really technical trails and a lot of fun.

 

Not ALL of the mud had rock bottoms!

 

That wasn't a water crossing, that was a dug out mud hole.

See the 2nd part of that original statement, lol

So I’ve come to the realization that you sank in the same exact hole my buddy Paul did, months earlier
