I figure we can centralize a thread with pictures from this AWESOME event. I'll have mine up later tonight.

(I'm loathe to go near that truck for a few hours. I spent alot of time in her.)

Edit- Here's a link to my pictures.

Here are two... more later! Great time! Sleep now...

FSRBIKER with 4 good tires

Speaking of Pika...

Here's just as the doors opened

Gee, what took you so long?

Now where is that picture or Samueul taking a leak.....

Hey Samueul,

Great picture of Dana!

Stone

Shall I submit it for picture of the week???

Hey, at least the alternator stayed out of that muck eh?

Damn, that's a mess,
Brent

jeeze dana...what kind of non-skilled driver gets stuck in a little mud puddle like that [ ]

only kidding, of course. i'm sure my mud-stuck photo will end up here soon enough.

(mud-stuck, unskilled driver extraordinaire)

Go for it Samueul. It's youir pic.

Yep. It's a big mess. It seems all the important stuff stayed dry thanks to VERY quick action by Samueul and Dayspring. I was out of there in less than 60 seconds. It ran fine the rest of the day although it seems to be turning over slower now when starting. I don't know if I got muck in the starter or what. I dropped a new battery in just a little while ago and it seemed to improve some. I guess time will tell.

Hey Gary, go get some wood!

sure...where's your tent again?

Hey hey! You two keep your personal life outta here!



hehehehe

ugh! i must be tired. i walked right into that one and didn't even see it...err...coming...uhh...approaching. yeah, approaching.

My girlfriend shot 12 rolls of film, as soon as they are processed and burned to CD, I'll post them too.. Ugh 400+ pix..I'm not looking forward to sorting through those..

Im sure its been said but what lift does pika have on his X?

3 plus 2 body (I thnk).
Not sure what kind.

And don't be shy with the Sawzall [ ]

i thought this shot was kinda cool.

That one was good.. but I like this one more..


Dive Dive Dive

Did anyone else try that pit?

i did, but i didn't have quite as dramatic results. i think i tried the opposite side. i ended up getting stuck with about 3/4 of each tire buried. had to have a littel tug to get out. i don't have any pix of it, but there were a lot of cameras (and laughter) there. i hope shots will find their way to the boards.

-gary

So this is me standing in a 2ft hole which I wasn't expecting to be there when I got out of my truck. Kristina was nice enough to snap it:



Here are my pics

FRIDAY

Drivers were Trail leader Todd (not EOE Todd), Dave(Goliath),Frontier Gary, Coolerman, Pikachu, Mobycat, Cliff and myself

SATURDAY

Drivers were Trail leader SwampRat, Ken (01SalsaX), Mike (Steinism), Rich (MeWantSnow!), Cliff, Coolerman, Carlos, and myself.

It was a great time with 2 really FULL days of wheeling, I met all of you nice folks AND I won EOE tie rods .

Big thanks to MAXC and to swampwrecker for hauling out all the goods for Saturday night . It was my wife's first time out and she was asking about all the mods I could/should be doing to the truck

Enjoy the pics!

Damian

some people did try that mud pit, not too many people made it through
it has a drop off from all the people siting and spining their tires

but there are some jeep that made it through the middle (about up to the top of our windows)
and muddy as hell there

I'll try to get video of that online tonight. I watched it this morning, and it was fairly amusing watching you climb your truck.

..jorge (aka, "linux guy")

My truck and Mirach's sitting in the sun outside the rock garden. Add Jorge and Miikkaa, and there were only 4 2002's there I think.

heh. thanks jorge. sorry about that name thing i'm terrible at remembering them.

-gary
(aka "frontier guy" for a long, long time)

All those pics from Saturday, and none of the Frontier with you....Shame on you. Maybe I should have slowed down a little so that I could get my picture taken.

Cliff

Still good pics though...

yeah ken, what's the deal with that?

ECXC was X event
No frontier picture

Joke

My photos are here .

Richard

FYI, it's Mirek, not Mirach.

Brent

I have pics of the Frontier, and I didn't even have one in my group!

I will try and have some video up later.

My camera has this burst mode - like a poor man's motor drive. Was messing around and made this

Ruttiger, that's pretty cool man.

My father-in-law just bought a Mavica CD-400 that does that. Pretty slick, and you can adjust the timing between exposures. It also has a mode where you can manually shoot up to 10 frames and it will build an animated GIF out of them. Nice toy.

Brent

Here is the video I took at ECXC. For some reason I didn't get very much footage, about 20 minutes in total. It shakes a little bit sometimes, I think this is because my camera took too much of a beating this weekend.

The "Low" versions are pretty crappy. If you have a slow connection I suggest downloading the "High" ones.

Well, here they are...

Day 1 - Mitsu gets stuck in mud.
Low - 320x240
High - 640x480

Day 2 - Frontier Gary gets stuck in the same mud.
Low - 320x240
High - 640x480

..jorge

I just don't get why someone would voluntarily drive into something like that. I'd rather not fill my drums and hubs etc. with nasty silty mud if I can avoid it.

Brent

That was an insane idea of trying to pull that truck at such a sharp angle (at least that is what it looked that they were going to do). Good thing they figured that out before they started pulling.

That was a messed up Pop Charger.. Glad to see that is did not let any of that crappy stuff through to the engine.

I don't get.... um, nevermind.

No, that wasn't the plan. Oleg pulled his truck halfway in so he can reach Mitsu's winch without being knee deep in mud. Yes, he could have ran in, but it wouldn't have been pretty.

..jorge

that seemed to be the consesus of most of the guys there for ECXC. of everybody at the mudhole that day (8 trucks?) only rob and i played in the mudholes. i can't explain it. i like mud. i enjoy mucking about in it. i like the truck with a nice layer of mud splash on it. i don't mind cleaning it out of/off of the truck later. thus far, it hasn't bothered my alternator (i know...my day is coming). much less damaging for my un-armored truck than rock crawling (which i enjoy quite a bit too). guess i'm still stuck in that 8 year old boy "mud pie" phase.

-gary
(girls have cooties)

Now this is the real fun part of playing in the mud!

Dana, that's hilarious!

You look like the little boy who dropped his ice cream cone on the ground.

That expression is priceless Dana. I hope it wasn't even intentional for the pic, because even then it gains more value

I had no energy to wash my truck Sunday night so I just rinsed it off. With the drought restrictions here, we can't wash our cars/trucks during the week.

Nope, the expression is real. I spent at least two hours crawling under the X pulling out gobs and gobs of mud. Some of it was like concrete. It was at least 2 inches thick on top of my skid plates and baked dry by the engine heat. I had one hell of a time getting it out. Now the wife's pissed because I got the driveway all dirty.

Some more video clips.

How did cleaning the INSIDE go?

I still haven't tackled the carpet yet. I took the door panel off tonight to check out the speaker and other mud damage. It wasn't too bad. I got just about all the mud out of the door and speaker. I'll work on the carpet this weekend.

Noone even thought about pulling him out at that angle, noone wanted to walk into the mud , so i drove in to get to Mitsu's Winch

Pop charger DID have some mud on inside, we washed it, and dry it with CO2 before puting it back on

pop charger sucks, too open for all that crap

Those were Xcelent!!! I was ROTFLMAO on the frontier stuck one whne the dude said "just call AAA"
