Badlands - Labor Day Weekend?

SAR_Squid79 · 08-08-07, 06:00 PM

Are there any plans for anything going on at Badlands for the weekend of Sept. 1st?

My dad is going to be in town and I thought I might head to the Badlands and take him wheelin!

Anybody is welcome to join me. Right now I'm thinking maybe just a day trip on Saturday.

Damn weddings...

I'd be there if I could, but I gota stand up in my buddies wedding that day

4rnr · 08-08-07, 08:50 PM

Im definatly looking to do some wheeling between now and hoosier ho'down, so maybe.

Cruiser Clint · 08-14-07, 06:17 PM

I'm in if this works out. I hope to have my auto install done so I can get some wheel time before the Hoedown. My Art Carr should be delivered tomorrow

.

mmmm art carr NICE!!!

I was at Gumbys today and we are looking to do some wheeling before hodown as well. We used the blue wrench and removed his fenders and Ive got new rubber to try (37" PB Rockers

)

though id rather go to the cliffs, but....

joez · 08-16-07, 02:02 AM

Id be down for either the cliffs or the badlands, though im leaning more towards the badlands due to a group from CK5 heading down there. Havent seen a few of those guys in years.

Gumby · 08-16-07, 06:51 AM

leaning toward the cliffs myself. might be able to do a badlands trip.

4rnr · 08-16-07, 09:44 PM

Im cool with either what does clint want to do? If we decide to do the cliffs then I guess we should get off this poor guys thread.

4rnr · 08-21-07, 11:38 AM

Anyone......anyone.......

Cruiser Clint · 08-21-07, 05:22 PM

I prefer Badlands because I want to scope some spots for the Hoedown, but I want to be sure that my rig is ready first before I totally commit. The 700R4 goes in this weekend and everything SHOULD work, but you never know. I am starting to think that I will have to flip my rear springs to keep my driveshaft length acceptable, but the plus side is the added wheelbase. I'll post up after the weekend to let you know my status.

4rnr · 08-21-07, 06:27 PM

ok badlands it is. I talked to Joe the other day and he is down for whatever, and we talked about camping. Does anyone else want to camp?

4rnr · 08-24-07, 12:24 PM

Is this still on?

Perfect weather...76 and sunny!

Any campers?

Cruiser Clint · 08-24-07, 04:21 PM

I'm in for camping.

Clint

4rnr · 08-24-07, 04:39 PM

fri and/or sat.

I kinda like doing both it makes the most sense. Joe said he is in for both.

Im sure Gumby will puss out

Cruiser Clint · 08-25-07, 06:08 AM

Friday will depend on my work schedule. Saturday if you guys are staying.

Yup. Pussed out. 'Bout got Volt's rig off the hoist and rode up through WI today.

4rnr · 09-02-07, 09:23 PM

You missed a good "show"......

I was working on my rig at his shop yesterday and he came by for a minute to drop his rig off. He said that he is sore all over, but nothing too serious. He basically rested all day yesterday so he can get back in the shop today.

Cruiser Clint · 09-03-07, 08:40 AM

John making his way through a rock garden

Joe making it look easy

After 4.5 rolls!

View from the trail where the roll started

Looking up to the trail

This bend in the cage gives you an idea of how hard the impacts were in the roll

More cage tweakage

Sideshot

Gumby · 09-03-07, 09:05 AM

Wow!

Guess I'll put some more work into my cage sooner than later.

Glad to hear Carl is just a little bruised after that.

How'd the auto work?

4rnr · 09-03-07, 10:55 AM

Clint didnt finish in time. He rode shotgun/driver with carl

joez · 09-03-07, 07:21 PM

It is very good to hear that carl is just sore after that hard of a multiple. It was definately ugly looking from my vantage point, it could have ended MUCH worse.

All in all it was a fun time, it felt good to be tooling arround with fullsizes on the trails later that day. They sure are fun to watch.
I wish i had pics to post, but my camera has been acting up and i didnt bring it.

joez · 09-03-07, 09:55 PM

Heres a link to the pic thread on CK5.
