North West November 3rd 2018 Meetup List and Plan

I hear you! I'm sitting here thinking that I never saw a road wash that good? Was the fog that thick?

Exactly! With no real lip on the Sport wheels, it's more than acceptable.

 

Ha! I love the expression on Viet Thi's face. Says it all right there.

 

Now that I see that, I wish I would’ve just let the skid happen. I wanted so badly to stay on the top of those rust though.

 

Ouch! She needs to join TW!

It was great meeting her.

The "whimpy" stock T case skid is a fucking champ in my book:

 

IMHO, I think cranking the wheel controlled the decent better than brakes were going to!

 

Yeaaaah...it was on purpose. Rather than slamming down on the hard packed stuff at full speed. Yep you nailed it Tony.

 

Just a note for the drum brakes folks, there was nothing to worry about from the holes we hit yesterday. I had a bit of stuff on the outer lip between the drum and backing plate, but the important areas were perfectly clear.

 

after a quick clean up and inspection of my vehicle i have 2 scrapes, one on the driver side rear just past the wheel and on the driver side sliders where it hit the ball of tree roots, some touch up paint to cover those and im good to go

 

From the Jeep trail?

 

the sliders defiantly the paint scratch on the side im not sure

 

Maybe it was that exhaust tip you found, lol

 

it was probably from that swap of paint you wanted to do lol

 

Just catching up on all the posts LOL. Glad you guys had fun, looking forward to the 17th. I need sliders aside from that my vehicle was unscathed.

 

Jimsnell does fab work for people, he can probably do some “custom shit”.

 

Cool, I'll check.

 

Is there a way for you to share that route with me?

 

Kind of. I will post up a better views and such once I'm on something bigger than a phone.

 

Google Timeline does not yet allow sharing or exporting. It is a bit unfortunate. If you have Location Sharing enabled on Gmaps, it will give you this same data even from out-of-service areas if you take a look.

This is the minimum zoom to see the FS road numbers:









The middle of the picture is the powerline climb:










I believe this is where you headed out? At that southern 180deg.

 

I just watched the video with sound on for the first time. I wanted to hear some mechanical sounds. The soundtrack was hilarious. I guess that I shoulda hit pause?


Thankfully, that wasn't Enya or something.

 

just saw this!! I was out salmon fishing this weekend or I woulda been interested. Next time!
