Springs, A Stump in West Palm: Story At Eleven

[Hard40]

Rumor has it that two intelligent and intuitive UC members have had an "incident" in West Palm. No details as yet but this story must be told. Hopefully pics will follow soon.
And now I yield to the gentlemen from West Palm Beach for the rest of the story.........

Unauthorized Oress Release

This story has not been completed as of press time. Let it be known that my only role was providing the stump, miscellaneous words of encouragement prior to the incident, event photographer, and recovery chief. Here is a sneak preview:

BTW, the names of those involved have been withheld to protect the ignorant.

Actually what may make it funnier, Dan, is that the truck involved is a hard-core, battle worn, well-experienced, every trail in Tellico without winching, furthest from poser as you can get. (Some may say the same of her owner-driver, too.)

He was testing his articulation before and after adding helper leafs to his rear springpacks. Test results indicated the truck did not articulate as much he thought they would with the additional leafs.

Capt:

Should we send down some large boulders or something like that for your test facilities?

Thanks for the offer, Alex, but Skunkwerks was blessed with a multitude of natural obstacles, compliments of Huricanes Frances, Jeanne and Wilma.

My name is Bill. I have a problem. Many of those of know me well would never suspect it, but..... wellll, I .............. am ............... a ....................... poser .

Well actually in truth, I'm just not afraid to do anything stupid, like:

Bill: These springs are so fawking tight - it'll roll.
Jim: Naaaaah, it won't roll - it's an itty bitty stump.
Bill: It's gonna roll.
Jim: It didn't roll the first time.
Bill: Yeah - but I can tell, it'll roll like a Palm Beach Politician caught with his hand in the cookie jar.
Jim: You wimp.
Bill: Like hell! Fawk - it rolled hahahahhaahahaha - that was fun... Krap why'd I go 3 years without fenders, and 2 weeks after putting them on smash one. Doh! Did I say that was fun - lets do it again...

[Horsehead]

I agree with Logan, we need more photo evidence for sure.

 

[Capt. Jim]

Ah! A controversy. The party of the poser part says and I quote that the party of the skunkwerks said " YOU WIMP" unquote.

Pffft...my 80 could climb that puny stump

 

[Capt. Jim]

Yea, my 80 has. He wasn't wheelin, just wanted to get a tire up to check his articulation before playing with his spring packs.

Not many other rocks/obstacles down here in south florida.

 

[Trollhole]

Stiff way to stiff. Bill your front left wheel should be stuffed into your fender.

 

[GXO]
