"Wheeler's Anonymous"

After two weekends of wheeling with the windows down she was in desperate need of a deep cleaning...



Ready to get dirty next weekend

 

Rode in @Mike likes Tacos truck at Rowher today while he bombed through one of the dirt bike tracks, holy mother of god...I need to get Kings. Stupid 5100s

 

That good eh? Good. Now I NEED to blow mine apart in pismo

 

Dude I wish I had filmed it...I was holding on for dear life and I don't scare easily haha. I'm just not used to being able to fly down the trail like that. It felt like the truck had legs and was just sprinting over the bumps and ruts with ease.

 

Kings are king. That's for sure.

 

Damn I really need to ride in Mike's truck now

Or give them to me

 

Fire at pilot rock

 

Mine took a huge hit at one spot.

Looks good as new! Totally protected the frame rail and rocker on the driver's side.

 

Just heard about it on the radio, looks like we hit up Pilot Rock just in time last weekend...may be shut down for awhile now

 

I took a snapchat length video of it from the back seat, but it doesn't do it near justice

 

Here's a few pictures I took off my phone from todays Rowher trip with @eon_blue and @Mike likes Tacos

 

I still need to compare mine and @Mike likes Tacos suspension. See if it really matters.

@eon_blue I missed pilot rock.

 

Shame they're 17inch wheels...

 

Great run today!

My hood was open to cool off my engine after Lookout only seems to overheat on that climb, after the tricky parts on that half mile, uphill ascent to the top of the hill. I tried keeping it in 3rd and maintaining speed but it still happened

 

@eon_blue high RPM in 4L is actually probably hurting you more than helping when to comes to heat?

 

Yeah I think 4lo is the common denominator, last time it happened I was climbing that stretch in 1st/2nd gear at a much slower pace so this time (with the new suspension) I hit it going faster in 3rd hoping more airflow would keep it cool (and lower RPM, in 3rd I'm pushing 1.5-2k...in 1st/2nd it's over 2k). I did make it further up the hill before it happened this time but it still started to creep up the temp gauge toward the top.

That hill is just tricky enough that I'm worried I can't maintain enough speed to warrant 4hi in 1st gear without stalling, but I'll have to try it next time.

When I got home today I doused my e-fans with a hose for awhile and after they dried off, they sounded much better than they have in a long time. Part of my problem may just be that the fans have gotten so dirty after so many runs that they haven't been as efficient. Next Lookout run will tell the tale...

 

We will slay the hill. Even with my fucking weak tires.

 

Lookout has become my archenemy after today

Slay the hill I must...without overheating that is.

 

Campground is
