NE area wheeling trip plans

Cb is nice but not needed.....you can stay in the middle of the pack and most of us already have them. Armor: Stock trucks are ok with nothing because the trails go from mild to wild. If if we go down a wild trail, there are mild trails that parallel them. A rear diff breather is a must though.....to go through water. Easy enough to do in time.

 

I still have no info on map location lol. Gotta plan the route

 

pick them up and bring them with you. I grabbed Wheelers 4+ extended ones. We might be able to work something out where on our way home.......going down the mass pike, we can stop off at a place that I work on peoples trucks and I can swap them out for you. As long as the nuts aren't seized it should only take about 2 hours to change and bleed the brakes.

 

The map location is kept kind of a secret due to the fact that putting it out on the internet can be a bad thing. The is why we meet up at "runnings" and the trek to the site.

 

Ohhh ok, that's fine

 

What a gentleman

 

Just bring a bottle of new brake fluid with you as well so when we bleed them we can make sure you get home as well.....lol

 

Definitely

 

No set date, still trying to get my ideas in a row

 

Sometime soon. Whenever you can

 

I have to work that Saturday the 23rd, but if I know ahead of time I can see if I can switch days with someone at work.. And it looks like I don't have my son that day, so that Saturday may work out for me.. Thoughts everyone? I'd love to go again.. It's such a great cause, and felt good knowing some little ones are going to have a Christmas this year, and to be a part of that. Plus the wheeling is just the icing on the cake!

 

What’s everyone’s preferred day? 11/23 or 11/24? Would be good to have @mach1man001 there for the Saturday. @yorttam83 if you could swing the 23rd that could work out great.

 

I'll check tomorrow

 

@crashngiggles how's the overhead on the trails? Enough room to get drone footage of the trucks without hitting trees?

 

On the power lines and the areas around rocky hill you actually could get some sick footage. Most of the trails in between are tree covered and very sketchy for a drone.

 

You've seen this guy with a drone! He's pretty much a pro-drone racer. Told me at the meet he can fly the damn thing at like 40mph while following cars...in a moving car!





edit: I re-read this after I posted and comes off sarcastic to me. I'm being serious, he's good!

 

Believe me, I am not in any way shape or form questioning the ability of the operator....but when It comes to a drone so many things play a factor.....wind, temperature, and not to mention the slightly occasional power or mechanical failure. Deep puddles and tree limbs vs the safety of the drone......it can be done and it would look SICK, especially with moving shots or the convoy, but can a person wheel their vehicle and fly a drone at the same time.....that is the question....

 

Point taken...So sorry Ben, but you need to bring a friend to drive your truck while you get to work

 

Well I dont know about all that crazy stuff. But I have followed a moving vehicle while sitting in the passenger seat and did very well lol.

I'll bring the drone and try to get some good stuff lol
