I like the hood prop :clap: shows ingenuity!
 
Ground rod :)

First time the hood props gave out, downhill
 
Just met a woman at the Chapel Hill Landfill who said her husband (Dirk) has a 1989 FJ62 in Tan and a parts truck. She didn't stay long but she grabbed a pic and I told her to relay the message about ONSC and Mud. I'm not sure if he's involved here yet or not but I'd love to meet some other 60 series owners in the Chapel Hill area.
 
Sounds pretty similar to a fun 'autocross' style event that I did (with my parents) when I was a kid> Clues on the path, things to look for, points for answering questions correctly, some points for the quickest time, but it was less about that and more about fun and using your brain.

LOTS of work involved though. Might be fun to put together something similar at URE with some shooting, fishing, off roading..
 
36 hours of Uwharrie - ;<)

May need to branch out. Looks fun and faster than the 36 hr race.
 
Cheap crap cheaper!!

You're a good guy Ryan :)
 
This is a hard video to watch. I'm not an experienced off roader, and even I cringe at this... WARNING: there's an inevitable injury. Not graphic, but still not for the faint of heart

 
Catching up on this. In the 90s, Bob Hazel (pains me to type that name) ran / promoted an event call the Safari Triathalon. It was a combination of a TSD rally, canoeing, and shooting. Each team had to be 100% self-sufficient with their one vehicle. A good friend competed one year and asked me to compete with him the next. We did a boatload of training and the series was discontinued before I cound compete (as navigator).

I was really disappointed and would love to do it still. Just not so sure my 50 something body is up to it :cool:

I am not sure the attire is good riding gear, but I'd probably follow this .... at least for a while

U would be fine in the 36 hrs of uwharrie. U go at your own pace. Just a max time to complete on some events. The sleeping in a tiny tent in 85 + degree heat was the hard part. I highly recommend it. ;)

Seems like something that's less about the fastest time and more about intelligent decision making and precision could be put together for us older guys. Off roading to get from place to place with puzzles, games, shooting challenges, etc along the way. I'd be down for that. The extreme physical side of the 36hrs of URE is what puts me off.
