October 27, 2013 Kaena Point Outing

Here's a silver truck can't remember who.

 

Here's another Truck.

 

Had fun out there, sorry I had to jet so quickly! Starting to be able to put a few names to forum names. Thanks for putting this together Miles

 

Rathas head, and the guy standing on the reef are throwing me off!

 

I bent the drum on my winch pulling a 4wd titan out of the sand. Yours may have done the same. Does it wobble when you're using it?

 

It sounds like it. easy-hard-easy-hard sound. I can see that it is bent tho. the two sides are tweaked and don't line up. I can tell it slipped in the elongated holes. I'm gonna try and get it straight and see how she runs. Fucken Titans...

 

maybe need a 10k winch?

 

No, the winch is supposed to be for SELF recovery!
Gotta get me a bubba rope for pulling all the 2wds out of the sand .

 

Nah, now you have an excuse to buy a bigger and better winch

 

I got more pictures but I need to down size the photo TW don't like the size. I post more pictures later this week. So where's our next outing going to be?

 

Nice Waiehu sticker!

 

i see what you did there

 

I'm going to say that is the most epic shot of the day!

Man, that's not as bad as it sounded!

My little adventure was part due to inattention and part due to visibility. Couldn't see the thing in my camera or out the window, probably could have seen it in the mirror if I had leaned over enough

No real damage though, only a few scrapes on the pinch weld. And a dead step, but that was going to go soon anyway.

I kinda hope there isn't a video of it.. I wasn't going to take pictures until Ron said I should

lol!



The rock was originally rotated 90 deg. clockwise from where it is in this picture. So I didn't really fly when I went up it, but when I hit the brakes it cantilevered backwards to the position in the pic and nailed the step and pinch weld. Might have beel less damage if I hadn't hit the brakes?



I'll post up the rest of my pics as soon as PS is finished automating..

 

Nice titan, when I first saw 'em, I took note of the sticker, We go where we like! And now I see this pic, too funny. Looked like it could handle. Front tires cocked like that with 2wd acts like an anchor.

Not too much damage. Shroud fell off my morimoto projector, guess it was bouncing around in my headlight housing. Put the first gouge in my BBS wheels.
At least the sliders have scrapes on the bottom side now! Small kine high centered after one climb and dragged the diff and couldn't make another one. This was after most guys left. Rotha made it earlier, I just messed it up more, and Phil annihilated it. Took him awhile, but he made it!
Also , missing some tread blocks from the MTZs. To be expected for what I put them through, though! I like these tires.

 

I thought that Titan was a beast too! Lo-profile tires and sand don't mix well.

One pic of Ratha's truck turned out:



Three of Mike's:







Sorry Ron, none of your truck turned out good. None of the other trucks either

9 image panno (91.1MP):

As usual, if anyone wants full res just pm me an email.

 

Just checked my gopro.. Looks like my video curse strikes again!

Finally remember to bring the camera and it was set to stills... And not even continuous! So I have 4 pictures of us sitting at the stop light by breakers

Then the reason the battery died is because I only charged the extended battery, not the gopro's battery.. One of these days I'll figure this thing out..

 

Had a great time guys. Thanks Miles for setting it up....
I thought this was a cool pic. Kinda blurry.

 

These r the times I wished I was still back on the island.
Looked like it was good fun!
