I uploaded all my pics to the FTP site Art set up. Feel free to view/save what you want.

I need a new camera.

Oh, and on a side note, I put a little sprinkler under my FJ for about 30-45 minutes and then took it to the car wash. $11 and some elbow grease later, it's fairly clean. I'll check out the pin stripes in the morning.

We can't THANK YOU enough for coming to our event and donating to our raffle! Thanks a ton! Hopefully your next trip up and back you don't have tow rig/trailer issues. In the mean time try to keep your sidekick Jeff out of trouble! Keep in touch.

Thank you to all involved in making this event happen. Andrea and I had a great time and hope everyone else had as much fun as we did. I still can't believe we won FLAT NASTY and MOAB

Stupid tail light....

It was good meeting you Church Crawler, and everyone else this weekend. As with the first two years it was a good group of people and my dad and I had a great time. I'm not sure I have dad wanting his own truck yet, but he's hooked on that passenger seat. Had him nervous (as was I) a few times. I was happy it was dry down there. After all IH8MUD!

Wade, that trip home was no fun man! We didn't have a great trip either. My haul truck started squealing really bad, randomly. I'm sure it's the belt, but I'm not sure why yet. There's very few miles on the belt. Pulled over a couple of times trying to figure it out/trying to figure out what to do. It made it with the trailer ok but I almost unhooked and had dad pull it with his rig. Anyone want a 97 Dodge ram? Almost everything has been replaced!

Adam,

Thanks again for attending this year and for your donation to the raffle! It was nice to see you and your father! If anyone hasn't seen Adams work, ask Kurt or Matt T.

Right

Tech inspection my ass !!!!! Who says a 41 year old Landcruiser won't pass ?

 

[CRAW]

Awesome pics Rob. It was a pleasure meeting you, and I hope our paths cross again sometime. Take care of yourself.

 

[Doc]

How much did it *cost* you to pass tech?

 

[myyoda]

Yeah, I'll give you a tip about washing your truck...get one of those sprinklers that goes around in a circle (low spray), put it under your truck on your driveway, and turn it on for an hour or so. Learned that one from Brent's brother Brian.

We are going to do that this weekend. Randy spent several hours with a pressure washer trying to get all the mud off the underside of the FJ. In the process he burned up the washer...and there was still mud left. After changing out the wheels/tires last night he said there is still tons of mud and we needed to try the sprinkler.

 

[Doc]

The key is to not let it dry.

I sprayed mine off right away when I got home with the garden hose. Took about 1.5 hours.

 

[wadentrisha]

For next year, maybe we could do the creek trail last thing before everybody heads back to camp at the end of each day. That will help knock off the majority of the mud? If you get to the mud while it's fresh, it comes right off. Could we buy a small preasure washer out of the budget for washing off at least the brakes, and axles at the event(s)? Just a thought. Mud dry rots seals terrible especially the nuclear waste mud at Dan's. Thoughts? Dan's seems to be the only place with mud issues though. ??? I'm sure Casey or Art would be more than happy to keep it at there house

get muddy, wash. get muddy, wash. repeat.

I totally agree that washing right away helps.... (Right Woody?) Although I still need to wash it again to get the last of it off.

[Doc]

Not just mud, but I had a suprising amount of rocks and gravel wedged in crevases of my front axle as well. I dug at least 4 handfulls of gravel out of the spaces between the steering arms and knuckles.

 

[cheap 40]

I think I managed to get most of the mud and gravel out from under mine. Did the sprinkler trick last night. That new spare tire sure is clean though...........

Did the "road hazard" insurance cover it?

 

[cheap 40]

Did the "road hazard" insurance cover it?

Yep, no questions asked. That was the best $20 I've ever spent (besides my silver star, right Woody? ) - $129 tire for free!!

Tony

 

[Doc]

Yep, no questions asked.

Really? SWEET!

So, what are you spending the $$$$ on? Swampers?
