East Coast Meet And Greet Pics...rausch Creek
 
Here are some highlights from the East Coast Meet and Greet. It was a blastto see everyone that came out and a well deserved thank you to usgaone (AKA Fearless Leader) for getting it all started and for being a great trail guide/spotter. Id still be stuck in the mud if it weren't for you. It was a cast of goofy characters from Sickwill to the crazy Russian guy... you both kicked ass and entertained us all! First time i've ever seen someone catch a frog with a Jeep! HAHA...enjoy!

Jeepin Dad 10-14-2007 06:35 AM

Had a great time running in the Blue group all day with usgaone, stumpman79, cormac827, Mr. T, oZmonKey, SLICKWILL, TJs07JK, Steve&2jc's from the forum. Thanks to usgaone for heading this up and guiding all day. All the JK's did awesome; they conquered every thing they tried, even if it did take a couple of tries to get over/through. Me and my #1 can't wait for the next East Coast ride maybe the wife and #2 will even come next time.

Hahahaha.... I love that windshield sticker: "spotter... you're fired"

deadspot 10-14-2007 12:24 PM

It goes without saying that we all had a good time. I wish I didn't have to take off early on Sat - I would have loved to watch the guys on the harder trails! I am already looking forward to another trip! I know it has been said - but thanks to USGAONE and W3CSX for their help (I would have more dents in my gas tank if it were not for W3CSX's spotting!). I will check through my pics for anything that hasn't already been posted. I didn't get much video but I will try to put up the little I have for viewing.

cormac827 10-14-2007 02:25 PM

gonna try to get mine up tonite or tomorrow, I got some good videos/shots.


And, it was a ton of fun, to the group i was with thanks for the help and amazing time....wheeling during day, beers around a fire at nite....gotta love it.

Piginajeep 10-14-2007 04:21 PM

Looks like alot of fun. I'll be ready for the meet and greet in the spring..


Slickwill, that mud would make me sick in interior

i'm with piginajeep here. kudos to you slickwill for having big balls, but i would vomit if i got all that mud in my brand new $30K jeep. give me a few years when it isn't so new, and it isn't my daily driver.

do the doors really seal so poorly that they let all that crap in?

W3CSX 10-14-2007 05:09 PM

Great shots everyone! It was a great weekend for sure. I have only been home for about 30 min. I'll see if I can't get my photos up tonight.

Jkmudder07 10-14-2007 05:18 PM

Great pics must have been awsome out there

Man I'd love to wheel with you guys!!!

mcnaught6 10-14-2007 05:39 PM

from the looks of the mud line on the side of his seat, it looks like he had about 4 inches of muddy water in there!!

usgaone 10-14-2007 05:41 PM

Man o' man........

WIll definitely is SICK! He loves, I mean LOVES! Mud! Watter filling up to the bottom of his seat! Over the gas pedal and that was just on the first attempt! Yes ladies and gentlemen, the first attempt, we pulled him out, drained what would drain (did you find that plug in the little rear compartment where the jack was?) and then figured out what the problem was (no 4lo, needed more engine speed) and then hit it again! Unbelieveable, and he powered right through it! I will defintely take these guys out again anytime they want, there are still a couple of holes that we can try! Milkshake? Sunken Treasure? Did Demetri find any more frogs in his YJ? Absolute blast! My wife is still laughing at the "Jersey Boys!" She can't stop talking 'bout you's guys! Did you all make it back allright? What was up with the TJ? The rear diff? How are the brakes Will?

Those that headed to dinner, all I have to say is $1.25 Yuengling on Draft! James.....How were the cookies and how much better do those 37's ride at that new pressure? Thomas hope you made it safe, and Jason, I'll be calling to check that CB out when I get it taken care of!

Thanks all, and we'll figure out a date for #2!........Anyone ready yet?

Tyler aka USGAONE!

cormac827 was in a stock X and ran blue trails. I thought he did great considering this was the first time he had ever done anything like this, and the Jk made it through/over every obstacle he attempted.

im a mostly stock x and p255 tires and I went.....Hit some rocks and got stock on the bottom a lil but man it was a great time, so much fun, im ready to go again anytime haha....


and about the door seals....stumpman was in water just as deep at one point, and he was stuck and no water came in....he finally powered through it.....but will was just sitting there for probably 3-5 minutes while water slowly filled up before he could have another shot aha

Completely stock 2 door X here, 245/75/16 SRA's (for now).....and I had a great time.

My wife was in a stock TJ with 225/75/15's and she made it through......of course now she wants a lift and new wheels and tires and bumpers and a winch and disconnects and lights and......OH my god I'm in trouble....:doh:

stumpman79 10-14-2007 07:22 PM

The cool thing was we took 20 people who had never met other than typing back and forth on a forum and by the end of the day we could talk as if we were buds... I find that pretty cool. I want to thank all of you for being so cool... I had a great time.

Cookies... great taste but could have been alittle softer. HAHA. 37's have never felt better. I may even try 30 psi and see how it feels. I ordered an adjustable rear track bar today just in case.

#2... Bring it on... Feb-March sounds good to me... just need time to schedule around work. maybe even april for some warmer weather... would love to have the doors and top off next time. Have to get back to my cookies! :yup:

SLICKWILL 10-14-2007 07:56 PM

WELL

all i can say is wow.... i have never seen a better group of people...i couldnt thank you guys enough, made me feel welcome and right at home..(the mud) :D we had a great turn out and A GREAT DAY...

Dmitri made it home safe and sound...no more frogs found which was sad if you ask me lol.....looks like kenny did brake his spider gears i belive in his tj had to have it towed home :sad2: ....my front brakes are shot.. but i did make it home safe and sound and i only overheated once..:D (ruined my fan in the water i think)

total toll for me is, bent bumper,broke radator fan,need front brakes (not form wheeling though), cracked both of my side mirrors while trying to adj them that pissed me off lol

the reason i flooed my inside so much was im missing drain hole plugs. so it just fill right up.... but it is also the case the longer you sit in the water the more will fill, even with your drain plugs all in

OVER ALL IM IN FOR THE NEXT TRIP WHEN EVER IT IS... CANT WAIT.....
and to anyone that loves mud like me :crazyeyes: feel free to come to jersey... ill show you mud thats is as deep as any of the waterholes we saw, and there just all nasty sloppy muck
