we had an awesome time. KickAsssFlash brought his YJ, I brought the Poopenvagen, and MorganM brought the Kia (unfortunately, he was having severe problems with the carb on his samurai, and didn't have legal tow points on the bumpers, so he ended up hitching rides throughout the park). one of the guys' wife sewed the letters MS Crawl 4 the Cure on his spare tire carrier on his YJ....WAY cool: KAF's YJ did really awesome, the stuff we took of it on the same trails as me just look boring, so here's a couple more extreme ones. this trail's called pucker point, I tried it...and spent so much time teetering on 2 wheels, that I ended up getting dragged through most of it: The Gorge Rock crawl, Morgan took the poopenvagon through the first part of this last year, but I didn't dare do it again this year, with all the rust that has formed on it since then: and then some playing in the water: all in all, we had a blast, taking the doors off was the best idea I've ever had!!! WOW, totally worth getting soaked with iron ore water, SOOO much easier to see when on the rocks. unfortunately, we had a smaller turnout this year....not sure why, hopefully it doesn't turn into a trend. but nonetheless, we'd raised just shy of $20k BEFORE the auction sunday night. so we'll probably be similar to last years 21. also, we got a ton of video, so hopefully there will be a DVD of KAF and I at the last 2 events up there. damage: mangled passenger side control arm/radius rod mangled driver side radius rod mount ripped 2 skidplate bolts out of the radiator support, and sheered off a 3rd before removing the fourth knocked the cat-back off, once each day flat tire, turned out to just be crap in the valve, still holding bent center driveshaft carrier tweaked rear crossmember lift blocks Mushashi....could you please pm me your address again, I've got a little something for ya
nice! i knew a guy that would tie a bunch of decoy (ducks) onto his bumper. just for when they got deep in the water. he would stop and get out his duck call and pronounce, "i'm mother duck! and all you sons of bitches beter keep away from my babies!!" i think he is on medication now. anyhow, i want to see the vid man! looks like a blast.
just loaded the video we took onto my computer, almost an hour worth!! hopefully I can get through it and turn it into something worth watching yep, used to be a strip mine, and everything still has a bit of ore in it. it's nasty stuff, stains for months even when driven in the rain. the engine from my blue wagon is still that color, despite sitting in the yard for a few months
