Chinamans Run 1/29/06

[Warrlord]

Me & Jason (my Sploder buddy), wanna run an semi-easy trail this coming Sunday just so we can get up in the hills for several hours of fun.

We can meet anyone interested at the trailhead between 9:00 & 9:30 am.
Or, we'll be meeting at the Safeway parking lot near 31st & Colorado in Co Springs at 7:30 am.

Yeah, sorry, I forgot to mention that :oops:

[bassdude]

ok, i ordered my drag link today. doubt if it will be done in time though.

[Warrlord]

There's always hope :)

[BLOODBANE]

No can make it this Sunday buddy(and I am needing a wheeling fix too :banghead: :banghead: :help: ) I was actually gonna pick on you Saturday about getting something going soon.........

[bassdude]

i could run with the one thats in there, it would just be a little sketchy because the rod ends aren't in very far.
Hmmm.
i saw you today sitting on Colorado at Nevada Warrlord. i think thats probably the tallest Ranger in town.

[Warrlord]

Mark, pick away :D

Bassdude, musta been on my way home from work then (or going?) I've seen one that's about 10" taller at the roof than mine in town. It was a first generation Ranger with a V8 & 3/4 ton axles under it. It was a sweet lookin' truck but when I gave the guy thumbs up, he smirked & reved the piss out of his engine. I guess the guy can't take a compliment :roll:

Yeah, probably wanna make sure there's enough rod in there. It would suck if the threads stripped out. I'm hoping your drag link shows up in time :D

[BLOODBANE]

You know the trail I want to check out(its not so easy though :nuts:)..... :upto:

There's no doubt you'd make it. The only thing is, it gets pretty tight in a couple places. Are ya willing to accept some body damage if it happens? Or, you could probably just run over the boulder below :lol:

I think as Jeff might tell ya, its not the best trail for wide rigs, unless you dont mind some body damage :).

[Walking Eagle]

The fits a little tight, just listen to the spotters.

Yup, we went but I only took a couple pics. A couple other guys did but they haven't informed me yet if they're ready. It was pretty cold & windy in places so I didn't take a lot of pics except for when Jason trashed his front axle. He was trying the stair stepper to the far left (the rock buggy part), he gave it hell & his left front axle said, "That's it, I give up" :lol:

That sucks! I hope it was still fun despite the damage. I've done that same on-trail repair before in Moab! :)

[BLOODBANE]

Ouch!!!! and you can quote me on that. He's gotten a lot more used to that X since last years run(when he got its cherry)HUH?????? :nuts:

[Digger]

Nice break Jason. Now you have a trophy. :)
