That's a good way to go. Night run might be good fun

So what you are saying is the last time you went you ran it with bald 31s and no lockers while listening to John Denver on your 8 track . Well get ready cus you are going to relive some of your youth

 

[peesalot]

Um, thats your generation dad, I had cassette tapes, CD's, and The Red Hot Chili Peppers, 36" Ground Hawgs pops, I think with Patrick & myself we should be able to get you thru.

I will bring the Polaroid .

 

[AgentOrange]

So both rigs are done now. Swapping to half doors on them both today and sending them to Rubithon.

Any pics of the cut open floor and the Bun trail weld repair ? Fire dancers were the bomb.

 

[AgentOrange]

Fire dancers were very cool! That was a fun idea Jeff pulled off. Bun Trail Welder works wonders. Chay had me cut my floor open so he could weld the top of my upper link for me. Amazed my lower welds were still holding on as it flexed after it popped the top away. He fixed that. Now I’m going to plate the whole thing and redo all my link mounts while I’m at it. Some of the earliest stuff I welded on this rig that’s still on there. Everything else has been removed and redone with a nicer machine. Time for this too

Did you make it over the old sluice ?

 

[Ditcherman]

Are those 3 pairs of sunglasses auto-darkening?
This looks like a handy tool to have!

Broski, that side car did not happen as Pat had to fix after taking taco stuff to Buck on Thurs.

I had left my goggles down at camp. Thankfully some guys had sunglasses up at Observation. That's 5 pairs in case you're wondering lol

No, never made it. But coming down Big Sluice in the dark was fun. Wheeling in the dark is fun in general

Them horses are hard to git to go over the granite, they slip alot.

Really curious why he thought it was a good idea to go through there in the first place with no support in that vehicle. Lucky you came through really

Was it one of those new plastic ones?
The older 1st & 2nd gen bronco are petty capable.
That being said it looked harder than usual this year.

How did Jeff fix the coilover.
