Picture Pages: ONSC MAY ride @ URE

[jfz80]

Had a great time today folks... It was great seeing the familiar and new faces alike and we had a strong showing for the club. I think the safety/inspection went well and both groups had a great time. The weather left us alone for the most part save a few scattered and brief showers. Let us know how Sunday treated ya.

to Ramon for spanking kodak

and a few more...... youll have to wait for the campers to get home.

 

[jfz80]

Oh yeah......



Does anyone have an oak carpet set to fit an 80 for Clint???

Ole Greg scratchin that itch since he didnt bring the precious out on the trails today.

Nice start, I'll add some of mine. I took too many pictures (as always), all 227 can be seen on my photobucket site...
The first ledge on Daniel has become more dug out and I think tougher than the second...

Brian's first time off-roading, literally. Yes, we are brutal, taking him up Daniel in his FJ40 w/o power steering, stock gearing and all-terrains. Brian passed the initiation with flying colors...

Passing the legacy down, the look on his face makes it clear that its working...

Our trusty Prez, always offering his spotting expertise, today in his safety approved flip-flops...

Watch those toes Greg...

Brian cued up for the second ledge...

Bump it Brian...

Keep your momentum...

Stay driver side...

Getting a little more flex out of my IFS...

All right, what I want you to do is...aaahhh screw it, just put your foot in it and hold on...

What rock...

The artsy, fartsy mirror shot...

Jason playing on the rock ledge...

Ramon wanted to play too...

Ramon foolishly gave the keys to Greg...

 

[Mtbcoach]

On to Rocky Mountain Loop...

Ramon flirting with the rock...

Watch it, not the marker light...

Ooops, its just a scratch...

Ramon and I are carnage twins, did mine in the same spot, in the same way...

Took me 3 years to do any "real" damage to my FJC, it was long over due...

Ramon has the right line for Kodak...

Jason was smart enough to not join the carnage twins...

Did you hear that...

Joe demonstrating the benefit of going w/o the sway bar...

Here are some of the ones that I took as well. Not as many good ones as I thought. Ohh well.

Had a great time, good showing of the club as well. Greg - thanks for putting the laminated maps together, very nice and handy.

Joe getting a little twisty.

Next up Brandon [great job for his first time wheeling as well].

Yep, Clint in the MUD, he hearts MUD

Where is that damn tow point.

Jose in the FJC doing well.

Jason's tire is apparently going flat.

Watch out for that tree Al.

Jerry heading for the big rock.

Ramon trying to jump up and over the rocks.

ok so I am a little twisty.

Guys, hope everyone had a good time this weekend, we couldn't of faired better weather based on a predicted forecast. We had 17 trucks in all and I think everyone got a pretty good chance to see the trails in URE. The pics look great, it was nice for once to sit back and watch everyone and enjoy just tagging along. Thanks Brian and Jerry.

For a first timer Brian did a fantastic job covering Daniel. Not an easy feat for a open/open, mildly liffted truck, but Brian showed how it could be done, hopefully we have enlarged that comfort zone for him....I guess it he doesn't show up to the next meeting then we'll know we took him down the wrong trail on his first experience

This the 2nd time in a row my co-pilot has slept all the was home, so i am going to take that as, Garrett had a great time. It was fun to see everyone again and meet some new friends. Looking forward to the next trip.

Here are a few of the pictures i snapped.

 

[krzyabncanuck]

Great pics, keep them coming for us that had to work.

That 2nd pic is awesome Eric! I had to look at it twice before I noticed Brians monster wheel stand.

 

[southerncruiser62]

Wow! good eyes stephen, just noticed that.

 

[Mtbcoach]

Great pics, keep them coming for us that had to work.

I agree and want to see more. On this trip, I'd guess that there were more cameras than rigs...

Thanks for pointing that out, great eyes and great shot. Who knew all that was going on behind everyone's back...

Awesome pictures! Wish I could have been there! I might hit URE during the week this week if anyone is interested!

I had a blast. It is hard to believe that after 2 1/2 years of having that 80 and fixing many many things I finally got to do a real wheeling trip on it. All i've done before this was some back roads in Cali, Pismo beach and OBX.

I was happy as hell my open/open rig made it up the ledge.... I would have tried a bit of Kodak but my steering was giving me problems.
Yeah I played chicken with a tree and neither of us moved
Got a little body damage as my driver front fender popped out from above the slider.

My steering seemed fine yesterday though but i'll be checking it out when I get the time. We had quite a bit of rain on the second day which made Falls Dam a bit more interesting for Ken, Clint and I before we called it a day.

We had a blast.

Mad flex in the 100.

Nice pics! When is the next URE trip? I haven't been in a few years, but would love to go back now that my rig is almost wheelable again.
