yawn...

wait - its finally here!

feels like christmas morning. could barely sleep.

see everybody soon.

 

GOOD MORNING Got everything loaded now just got to get the kids up and out the door. Thats more of a challenge than any trail at Rausch

 

Just got home.......had a blast (as usual).

Carnage tally of one bent rim, another with a leaky bead, and one tire with a blown out sidewall (on a different wheel than the bent one OF COURSE)

Two tire changes on the day and a little creative banging with the sledge hammer, and I managed to make it home with 4 tires that hold air

 

c'mon guy's we need pics...

did my skids on though today so i'm ready for the next one. damn

 

My pics are posted over in trails & tales

sry i missed it... Spent most of my morning replacing an axle shaft on the tow rig... who woulda thought 800 ft lbs + burnouts = twisted splines.

 

Cheap shit.......they sure don't make um like they used too

 

I also had a great time, glad to put some faces to the names. Thanks to Pete and Jason for leading the way for most of the day and for helping me swap out my spare after I blew the front right off the rim. Should have known better than to air down a 10 inch tire to 15psi on a 9 inch rim!!! Oops!!!

See you all in January my schedule is not going to permit a December run unfortunately.

Pete I'll get in touch with you in the new year on that econo lift. Thanks!

Photos coming as soon as father in law upload them.

 

hella good day @ RC. It was awesome that many people made it.

Strong Island contingent - sorry I didn't get to meet too many of you. Hopefully next time. Looks like you guys had a blast despite a little damage.

Our group was pretty huge but it definitely kept moving almost the entire time.

Lotsa good people & laughs. & some super solid blues.

Thanks for an amazing day.

 

good to meet you again matt, we had a pretty big group of long island people and they wanted to just stay in that group instead of break up into green blue or blue black.

we had a great time someone lost a sahara tire, i broke both side steps which i use as rock rails, one of our guys lost the pin to his tire carrier and had to ratchet strap it shut.

overall it was a great day though, we ran greens blues and some blue-blacks and blacks it was awesome.

hope to wheel with you soon, although that might have been it for me for the season getting cold out there
