4 Wheel Parts is having a weekend event... cost for a one day stay (no over night) is $40.
I was there today... tons of buggies and Jeeps. Only a few Toyotas and other trucks.
It was fun and i even won a raffle for aux lights made by Pro Comp.
They will mount perfectly on my Bed Bar.
 
Yesterday, i was at Hidden Falls (Marble Falls Tx) to check out 4 Wheel Parts' event.
Boy there was a BUNCH of Jeeps... say 95% were Jeeps, the rest were everyone else.
Anyways, it was great and the main reason I went was to try out my new Deaver-10 suspension pack.
It worked great.
There were two roll overs.
One Jeep (he was in my group) and one Ranger (that is what I was told).
No one was hurt in the Jeep rollover.
But the EMS was called for the Ranger rollover.

THe weather was FANTASTIC!!!
Enough typing, here are the pics.

The flop... and not by the owner John in the red hat.
No one was hurt, other than the driver's pride.

The following is what I was told by the owner of the Red Jeep.
The owner John, was letting a son of one of the group leaders to drive his jeep.
Apparently the kid has been wheeling for quite a while... but not sure how experience he was with a clutch.
From what John told me.
They were heading uphill, towards the peak.
There was a 12 inch ledge that you need to get over, before the downward decent.
The kid was not getting enough skinny pedal to get over.
So, John told him to back up a little.
Well, the kid apparently forgot that the clutch when depressed, disengages the gears.
They started rolling backwards faster.
The kid panic and kept the clutch engaged.
He then turned and the Jeep started to roll.
John said it rolled about 1.5 times.

The windshield was spidered all over.
When he returned to camp, he removed the window.

it's amazing how jeeps fall over for no reason
 
Good pics! I want to get out there and camp+ride...
 
Looks like it was a great time, a little 'wheelin', a little carnage, and 4WP always has a good raffle. Wish I could have gone, but I got the tarp over my stuff right now... Spending to much money on trying to get a trail rig together so I don't beat up my 40 to bad...
