I'm going to be driving my girlfriends truck this weekend ('02 Fronty CC auto 4x4). I still have my truck, but it's still getting fixed. This is what it looked like yesterday:

ok i took off my step rails and mud flaps.. now im starting to get excited about going..
my experience (off roading) is in a HMMWV and LMTV


now those are fun

Sorry to here that it wasn't done yet.

cripey's now what kind of offroading did you do? Take that rock crawling. I am curious to see how well it does

Just watch out for the gas tank since you have nothing protecting it. An SE only has the front skid (aka tin foil)... I went with a bone stock last time with smaller stock tires than yours and he only took one mark on the gas tank... No damage... just a scrach. You're all good

Signing off 4 the day...See you all at 8:00am at the Chevron Station. Check the first post for radio channels and other info if you haven't.

pretty much can handle anything... up to like 10 feet of water and it has self inflating/deflating tires by the push of a button.. and a push button automatic trans which kinda sux actually (i like stick).. never did any rock crawling with the LMTV but that would be pretty fun.. i think it handles better than the HMMWV.. just really big is all. and worse when you have a load and big trailer..

you tring to freak me out? just dont want to damage it before i get all the offroad goodies put on is all.. which then probably the day after i get everything on it, ill roll it, with my luck that is..

You'll be ok. Just pick your lines carefully.

so dont drive it like a tank,,, check!!

HEY YASHA
I'll be waiting at Cow Creek Rd (air down spot), meet you guys by 8:30-9 .

AWW thats not fair you didnt even air down your Unimog Dbax.

I wish..
That's a new one (to me). I've had THIS ONE stored for a while now. Reminds me of a lg dinosaur, tromping along the hillside..

Sweet ....Did you ever find that darn storage key!

ITs time hope to see everybody at the run Happy Trails.

My crew made it home safe, with a broken motor mount and cracked engine air hose thingy to show for it. Had a great (but LONG!) drive up. Glad we finally made it out again!!!

Made it home a few minutes ago. Took the truck to the power washer before I got home to get all the mud off of it. Found a nice big dent on the rocker panel just behind the driver front tire .

Thanks for a fun day everyone. Crown King was a totally different beast today!

thanks guys, I had a blast.

Randy, can I get a cd of all the pics?

ditto on the pics!! or post em on a website like ringo or something.. thanks..

and everyone that was awesome, had a blast. very LOOONNGG day but very fun.

im just now getting home and madmanx should be getting home in about 20 min. we were helping that guy with the flat for a good long while. but on the upside i believe his girlfriend is telling him hes coming to help clean up 4peaks..

This years run to Crown King was far more diffrent than last years ..Carnige for all this time but no one hurt most important thing Safty first . Hope we see more of the newBs and the meetings are just as informative .

Thank you all, we had a blast. I did seem a little long but thanks to Dan we kept our selves occupied by watching to cracks race up the window. I was pretty intence they started out about 3" appart and by the end are dead even and about half way up. "Clutch", you did really good for your first time! It's a lot different than a quad HUh? I can't wait to see the vids and pics! Thanks again everyone!

Great trip. Thanks to everyone for making it a really fun day. I think everyone did a great job driving, expecially the newer guys with no mods yet.

Hope to see you all soon. Next meeting is Feb 2nd, trying to hook up with Tom at Pinnacle, lots of phone tag though.

T-Ray... Sheila has two dealers calling her asking when we are going to show up at thier place. Power and Earnhart (Earnhart calls about once a week). She was supposed to give Wally the info, but I take it she hasn't yet

Oh... Chris (Wally's Co-Pilot) took a lot of really great pics for all of us. Even one shot just befor DBAX's miss-hap. I just got them onto the laptop and am resizing them all now. So at my normal pace ... By tomorrow I should have a couple hundred pics online for everyone.

I don't know what dealer DBAX is going to pick a fight with, but I'll gladly stand up on his behalf. He did nothing different than me, same lines, same tires, same wheel spin... And well we all know what happened. Just make me wonder when I'm next. And I'll be getting my rig in for the overheating hear real soon... Easy to reproduce on the trail, but I've never been able to on pavement.

Great trip... Hope we didn't scare off the new guys
