Re: Rubicon 09 Aftermath

Great idear on the mid-week trip, Tony! Traffic does not sound like fun.

NICE! Sounds like a great trip, I've gotta get out there soon, ANYWHERe would be nice as well..

Hey Mark, a little rough on the extinguisher huh??

The 3 of us should do Slickrock or Deer Valley. They are in Backwoods' backyard. I am all for another trip before the weather makes it less fun.

Re: Rubicon 09 Aftermath

Darrins rig looks really nice and capable!! That sucks he was sold some bad stuff, hope it was just the wrong tubing.. End of the year run sounds good..

Here is Marc.. "BC" Before Carnage...


Aaron

Ya thats Marc all right nice guy! I thought his Bronco was a little rough before. The box left a few bruises for sure. Time to buggy that thing Marc, it would better suit your driving style. Though the totally hammered look is cool to!

What are some ideas for a pre winter run? Darrin and I were thinking a Barrett Lake run if anybody is up for it. Mabey I should post it up.

Post some more pics guys, I can't get enough! My pics don't go past the slabs

Re: Rubicon 09 Aftermath

Yeah, when they were behind me in the Old Big Sluice, they were doing Bacardi bongs!!! I honestly don't know how they were still standing, or walking, or driving, or breathing for that matter.

"Beer Bong check" Making sure that makes it on the next pre trip checklist

Re: Rubicon 09 Aftermath

If that is the group I heard about, it wasn't beer that was going through the funnel. It was hard alcohol.

4 shots or more of bacardi and a tall boy....one of them had to have alcahol poisoning by the time they were either doing some hill climbing or falling out of the back of their rig at buck.

Very funny, yet sad at the same time.

Re: Rubicon 09 Aftermath

I had a great time too, it was nice meeting every one. I got 2 flats, both on the sidewalls on Saturday. I was able to patch one up to get off the trail and borrowed another to drive home with good tires. Thanks again Ben. Now I have an excuse to get bigger tires.

no problem Kyle I was glad to help

Re: Rubicon 09 Aftermath

Marc, You are a Savage!! You should have stayed out of the box! good show though, wish you could have gone on into Buck with me, the water was cold still, may not have done much Kayaking. I would love to take another run, But I did my own breaking. I was going to go to Rubiccon Springs Saturday, about 3 in the afternoon, with Patrick, and someone else(Jesse, was it you?) I went about 100 feet past the dam, and my right locking hub blew apart, and 3/4 of it landed on the ground. We did a trail weld job with some bar stock pieces(I'll put up pics later) and got part way out from buck before it broke, I ended up winching out about 5 times, bounced my fan into my Radiator, two little pinholes. We camped, and didn't get to the dam untill monday 10am. kinda Scary, but still fun. Nice to see some of the people I have met in the past, and some new people. I know a guy going to Barret lake 9/24-25, I was going to go, but now I am broken, Sigh. Too much other work to do to get the Jeep fixed in time, Ill be watching for another trip, Hopefully Randy(at BBY) will be ready this time.

Re: Rubicon 09 Aftermath

I had a great time wheeling and it was nice meeting everyone. I discovered that with a full tank of gas I can drive from Loon to the box to Ellis to Buck and back to Ellis again. A big thanks to the person (sorry, I can't remember names) who gave me a few gallons to get back out to Loon.I owe you. Unfortunately I can only add one picture to the pile of the trip. I did get a video of my brother going through/over a huge boulder. I'll see if I can get that posted.

Re: Rubicon 09 Aftermath

That sucks Frank that it didn't hold. What was the final failure? Was the guy in the buggy Shane? Wasn't sure on his name.

Well, I did some body work today. My tools of repair were a pair of channel locks, a pipe wrench, a two pound sledge, a tie down strap, a come along, my winch with a snatch block to my p/u, and my welder. I think it came out pretty well. I will try to get some pics tomorrow.

Anyone out there have a drivers side drum brake knuckle? I would like to just replace the one I have since the ball joints are now welded into it.
