North GA Mountain Trail Ride (2 Viewers)

[sammybones]

@MongooseGA your rear bumper is definitely toast. I’m getting excited about Sunday. I’m looking for a good excuse to get a Slee rear bumper

 

[Whiskerz]

I may be ready for prime time. I finish the new shock install today after work.

 

[MongooseGA]

@sammybones I was able to pop most of the damage back on the bottom. It's not perfect but 7/10 probably wouldn't see it.

That said, I'm bumper shopping

 

[Whiskerz]

It could be a mud fest

 

[MongooseGA]

What's our truck count? @100 series LC Are you coming along for this one?

 

[sammybones]

I’ll be at Ariana Furniture at 9:00. Rain or shine.

 

[MongooseGA]

I'll be at the Shell at 930. 5585 South Chestatee

I have 6 trucks with me, that doesnt include anyone here on mud.. so were looking 10+ I have a feeling a couple of my guys will drop out by tomorrow morning due to the rain, i know 3 of that 6 are confirmed

 

[MongooseGA]

It'll be a crew.

Link above from '04. Map on pg7 shows the trail (Rich Mountain Rd) I believe we ran back in the day . Not sure if its even still open.

I can see the trail in sat mode on Google.

Rich Mountain was graded a while back. I drove it a few years ago and it was just a gravel road that ended up being gated. Used to be a great run back in the day.

So. When left you guys to head home my check engine, VSC TRAC and VSC OFF lights were on? Also, every time I touched the brake the Nav screen went to the backup camera and the R light came on. Maybe the ABS or something braking down the hill? Any thoughts.

Great time today guys. Can’t wait to do it again.

 

[MongooseGA]

Yikes... That's weird. Did it clear up on the way home?

Today was a s*** show, but was a lot of fun. Trophies to everyone who brought home a souvenir.

Hopefully @Whiskerz makes it home safely soon.

 

[sammybones]

No, it didn’t clear up.

How do did the the other two make out down the hill?

I didn’t get anyone’s cell. Mine is 863-370-1571.

 

[Wermz]

Its 10:17 and i just got home.. lost 2 flares, again.. long day

ECU/battery reset? I don't imagine you've crawled up under it yet, have you?

757-348-7202

They finally made it down, followed by some Heeps, then we watched the buggy blast the crap out of that hill climb like it was nothing. I think Ryan may have wet his shorts a little.

I made it back about ten 'til. A shower hasn't felt so good in a while. Gerry is on driveway duty tomorrow, she earned a break. Pressure washing commences in about 19 hours...

 

[sammybones]

10:17? Good grief. I made it home by 8:00. Did y’all get into more trouble?

ECU/Battery reset huh?

 

[bencallaway]

s*** I need pictures and details immediately. I couldn’t be pulled away from this-

 

[Whiskerz]

Ben you made the right decision

 

[MongooseGA]

What he said.

 

[Whiskerz]

I will update this adventure later. I had fun with the group but the goal is not body damage for everyone involved. Might as well play bumper cars.
