Nor Cal Wheeling Trip, Oct 13th at Strawberry Pass

I just finished editing mine so I'll get them up in a bit. No one got too many pics of the last obstacle because we were pretty focused on saving the trucks from various levels of stuck. I have a few pics of my truck doing some of it, though.

 

Did you guys all take the hard line?

 

Nobody took it... I figured since I dont have skids I shouldnt risk it. Next time though I will. I don't care about my front bumper anymore.

 

Here's some information about my heart attack!

I have a bunch of pictures from my cell phone/crap camera. They aren't anything fancy but I'll upload them anyways. This may take a while haha. I'm giving my truck a much needed bath today and cleaning out the inside while they upload. There's so much dirt in it I like how we all flew by Kevin on that road as soon as the passing lane opened up. I think I hit 90 passing three people then Carson flew past me as well as the three people that I passed. I don't want to know how fast he was going hahaha.

 

Congrats on 1K posts Cody, you're well on your way to being a post whore like me

 

Hahaha, yeah I passed that one super slow camper and then pulled back into the right lane, then all of a sudden everyone freakin' FLEW by me and both Micah and I were like "Holy Fuck they're flying!" Carson pretty much flew through the entire mountain stretch of the 4. He's crazy!

I'm glad nothing bad happened with the T-case, though. I was going to say that that was probably the most serious damage, but now it's probably my little drive-shaft U-joint skid or my wheel well body damage. Nothing that can't be at least mostly fixed by a hammer, my hands, and a socket wrench, though.

 

uploading pics to photobucket.....might take a while

 

Just as a disclaimer and for everyone's information I never broke the speed limit!

Yeah thanks man I'm glad that nothing happened to it too. My wallet is really glad.

Can't wait for the pictures!

And I still feel bad for that fender damage Kevin, I'm sorry.

 

Oh yeah, me either. My pass was totally legit .

Here are my collection of pictures. I threw them all in a photobucket gallery thing so I don't flood this page with 120+pics of crap. I looked under my truck and got some better pictures of the damage to my skids and stuff. My rear diff is a bit scraped and I bent my exhaust flat in one section and up into my cross member a little bit behind it. Oops.

That white jeep stuck on the rock was the one that we thought was going to roll.

Edit: Eh, I'll post a couple pics so you don't have to click the gallery link if you don't want to.

 

Oh well that sucks thought Eric walked right up it i even got MJ up the hard line open/open

 

shoulda tried it, I thought about going back down and trying the harder line after we got all the rigs up, but it was starting to get late and there were people standing over there.

 

Next spring I'm gonna tackle the hard line...with new tires!!

 

I should've payed more attention to this trip! Strawberry wasn't too interesting but slickrock would've been worth the sick day and PTO! Couldn't leave the job fair though....Next spring!!

 

Alright, I think this should work. Sorry for taking a little while, I forgot about a game I had to go to from 5-7.

Sorry about the dust in this one




















And I looked under my truck, too. Scraped the LCA's and the LCA mounts a bit, but not too badly, hit the crossmember pretty badly (I think I slid along it at one point), scraped some part of the exhaust line, scraped the rear diff a little, and the worst was I hit the skid covering the U-joint super hard and it bent into the driveshaft. There are some pics of it in the pb album. Oh, and Jerry: your sliders saved my ass (er, flank?) many, many times on this trip, so thank you!

 

Very nice pics! I saved a few of them, hope you don't mind

 

There was no body damage from this
Proof of the truck-saving ability of those BAMF sliders! that was the only thing separating my truck's side from that rock

 

Not at all, just don't sell them

 

STREET RACING! LOCK!

 

Looks like a lot of fun guys! Wish I could have made it, I ended up down in the bay and ya'll headed this way.

Nice pictures.


Pyro is looking kinda gangster.
