Deer Valley!? (1 Viewer)

[rusty_tlc]

We were there




























































We had a blast.

Maureen blowing a tire before the first obstacle was a drag, we felt really bad for her and Keith S. Like Keith said it was no big deal helping her out compared to the amount of time others have put in helping me out on the trail.

took a bunch of pictures but I haven't had time to even pull the SD card from the camera since we got home. Maybe tomorrow.

The antenna was no surprise, except that it lasted longer than I had expected it would. I can fix it so no large deal there. I ordered a replacement last night that should survive better.

Unfortunately, Maureen sliced her DS sidwall JUST BEFORE the first obstacle and was unable to run the trail. That was a bummer to have had happen to her as she had never run Deer Valley before and seemed excited to do so. We backed her up and put on her spare and off they went.

By 'backed her up' Keith means he man handled those lugs and pretty much did the swap for me!

Thanks, guys, for helping my weak butt out. I was TRULY bummed for having to back out at all but 20 feet into the trail?? Ugh.

We need to get back out there ASAP!

Well, we found out why you don't run trails alone. Mo is going back to Sacramento today to swap out some wheels and tires. She was really bummed about that tire blowout, and is very grateful for Keith and Dan's help in getting that wheel off. She's now convinced she's switching to steelies as soon as she can find a set.

She's also sworn she's coming back to run Deer Valley as soon as she can.

Thanks again for the help,

Keith S.

^ ^ What he said!

Seconds before the pfftt and puff of dust...

Me and Dan - our best sides?

If you could see through the trees to the left of the shot, there's a family camping there. Yeah, that's the staging area right behind us. Sheesh...

Yeah, me too! I thought I was just in some serious need of weight training but when I saw that YOU had trouble I felt better about my 'guns'. LOL

That 'clink' noise made me think I'd hit my ARB bumper. When you said you thought it was my ARB that's what I thought you meant but you meant my locker line! That would have truly been a bummer. I didn't even have the lockers engaged nor was the compressor on.

All's well that ends well and I've found some real trail buds in you and Dan.

I also found that I need to remember "Righty tighty. Lefty loosy." :whoops:

A locker line would have been a 5 minute fix. I carry extra line a quick splice connectors in my truck. IMHO they are something every one who runs ARB's should have in their tool kit.
If you call ARB USA they will hook you up, some of the best customer service int the off road industry from what I've seen.

That's good to know, Dan. Thanks!

Seth is the guy who made the deal on my lockers happen so I'm sure he'd help out on the splice, too.
I took a look at the lines and, yeah, you're right. Looks fairly easy.

Ok, thanks so much! Now I wish that's what it was! LOL

There are a couple of tight places on the first set of switch backs that might give you problems but other than that your Hundy would do fine.
