Sunday the 18th trail run

[Starkman]

OK, I have the whole day to have fun so I'm going out. :thumbsup: :D

I think that the only thing open is Boulder Carnage. Maybe Eagle Rock?
Where do you want to go.

Digger are you in?
Warrlord, I have a hub to give back to you now that you are staying the TTB.
Solid Axle is ready right?

Who else, Boulder Carnage is good because of other trails that are not as hard.

If we go to Boulder Carnage I would like to start somewhat early so that we can get together after for eats. Also to beat the hords of Jeeps that will be there.:beer:

[thesoundmaster]

I'd attepmt to make it, but the brakes are gone on the Bronco and i'll be spending my sunday doing that.

[rwmorrisonjr]

Also going to be working on brakes and the electric fan this weekend.

[Warrlord]

Hmmm?..........I have something pending that day that I have to do. But..........if it doesn't pan out, I'd drive up to Boulder for a Carnage run. Early morning is good.

Eagle Rock still has lots & lots of snow. I read a trail report from Saturday.........they had to winch alot & didn't finish the trail.

[Digger]

Sounds like a good time. I wouldn't be able to get to the trail head until about 11:30am - noon.

[Tilt168]

i might be able to come....need to check and see what weekend im headin down to White Sands

[UrbanCowboy]

I'd love to do carnage but I cant do Sunday runs.

[Gunner]

I'd love to join you Rich but Carnage did more to me than I thought. Can't afford another run like that. Have fun though and take some pics...this time make it all the way:thumbsup:

[solid axle]

let me know rich, I,M READY

[thesoundmaster]

Rich, is there room for another? I'm just gunna take the Bronco in to get the brakes done on friday. I don't feel like dealing with pulling the hub, pulling the bearings, replacing the rotor, re-packing the bearings, then replacing the hub, partly because i don't trust myself and partly because i have no idea what the hell i'm doing. Explaining it i know, doing it i'm worthless!!!! So long way to get to the point, but is there room for me to tag along?

[Starkman]

Well it's getting closer. I do want to see that blue Ranger work it through the rocks.

Noon is good too. How does that sound.

Warrlord, you know you have to come and watch me dent another panel or something.

Solidaxle, good?

Tilt168, Anyone else?

Soundmaster, I should be by myself so come on up.

I have one more fitting to hook up and the front locker is operational. :glasses10:

i'm gunna do the brakes friday so i should be good. Rich, do you think i could run it in my bronco, or should i see if i can hitch a ride?

I don't know how much snow is still left there, probably not much, but if you look at my Supermotors it will give you a good idea of the trail. I couldn't make it on stock suspension with 33s. I got hung up at a pretty tough spot that was killing lockerless vehicles. I say try it but don't push too hard and you should be okay. No shame in turning around.

[Tilt168]

so where we meeting and whos going and all that jazz?

[Digger]

so where we meeting and whos going and all that jazz?

I'm in as long as my skid plate is done. I vote for meeting at the trail entrance at noon.

[solid axle]

not sure how to get there,little earlier maybe

[Tilt168]

yeah where is the trailhead....along the same lines what trail are we actually doin cause there are a cpl mentioned...and wasn't there somethin about meetin up for lunch/breakfast?

[Gunner]

Here (http://www.traildamage.com/trails/index.php?id=4) is the trail description and directions to it.

[Tilt168]

right on! so noon at the trailhead? ill be gettin lunch in the area if anyone wants to meet up before hand....
oh and im gonna invite a friend with a heep ok?

[thesoundmaster]

I know where I'm going now. I'm gunna attempt it in the Bronco, Hopefully i can do it, if not, i'll turn back.

[rwmorrisonjr]

Not doing it this time, going to work on my extended brake lines Sunday.

[Starkman]

Sorry I've been quit, I got really sick for the last few days! :poop: I think I'm good now.


Thanks for the directions Gunner.

I trail head is up in Lefthand Canyon just north west of Boulder. I would be up for lunch in Boulder but I'm not real familar with eating places. Any suggestions?

So this is the list:
Starkman - white Ranger SC 33s fr locker
Digger - blue Ranger SC 40% stock
Tilt168 - ?
friend w/ Heep
Soundmaster - blue Big Bronco stock
Solidaxle - white F150 35s and locked

No know?
Warrlord where are you?!
anyone else?

:woohoo: I'm ready!

[thesoundmaster]

I'm goin, did the brakes on the Bronco today, and by the looks of the wear to the front right rotor, looks like i have nothing or little working on the back end, running 1/16th of an inch of metal on the rotor, HOWEVER I am going, I'm sick of cabin fever and I'm excited. Does anyone want to meet earlier? I might head up to Boulder earlier and hang out before meeting up at the trail

[Tilt168]

hell yeah ill meet up earlier!
stark: im bringing the queen....my only ride as Ninja is dead, and the heep hasn't responded back so I dunno if hes down or not...

[Tilt168]

my bro with the heep just called me back, hes coming and we're leavin the springs around 0900 from the briargate area. his jeep is pretty stock so its going to be fun to have him along right?

[84broncoII]

I think I'm gonna sit this one out .I've been working too hard ..I tried to do some work On the trail rig today. I picked up a new clutch ,was gonna install it, But I'm just too pooped to crawl under it. Maby sunday :o I'll attempt it .It hasnt been really Bad. I hardly notice it .it seems to engauage slowly, cant get any rubber at takeoff anymore ,in two high ;) .Other than that I have soo many unfinnished projects around the house .I'd feel guilty taking off and having fun : ( .Besides i made a pact with myself before i went out again, Id have My rocksliders done ,and the front bumper refabbed ,and at the very least, a linkon locker for the rear diff .the bumper is on but not finnished ,and then hear comes the clutch so ,yada yada .The front extended brake lines came out cool ,and I removed the bushwacker fender flares from the back ,did a little more trimming to the fenders in the front .The trail rig is looking real mean but still a pos.:(

[Tilt168]

[Starkman]

I will have to meet at the trailhead by Noon.

The trail is easy to get to, just follow hwy 36 all the way through Boulder about a mile or so past town there is Lefthand Canyon road, go left up it until you see the trailhead. http://www.traildamage.com/trails/index.php?id=4

Got the locker working and I can't wait to see how it works.

Thanks cool. I'll be looking for him.

[Starkman]

OK, it was another epic day.

Got on the trail at 12:30 or so and I flip the dash switch and nothing happens. Thanks Jessie for pulling the shift motor and then I manually engaged 4 lo. We started pretty good but soon met the hords. It is like we are at a mall or something, people everywhere!

The trail looks completely different then a few weeks ago and it is much more rocky.

Everybody did a great job today. Everybody drove out under thier own power.

The other stories will have to come from the others. Digger is again the "Jeep Rescue Vehicle". I'll let him tell Warrlord the bad news. Soundmaster smoothed out some edges that happen to be in the way. Tilt168 walked up most everthing and Solidaxle was impressive as usual. We never did see Jason hope to see him again some time.

Good night for now......

[Warrlord]

Digger is again the "Jeep Rescue Vehicle".

I think it was that you missed the recovery operations. We were also on our way later to help recover a Taco that had slid off the trail on 286 and was inches from rolling. However the Jeep we rescued beat us to the Taco and was able to winch him back onto the trail.

[thesoundmaster]

Jesse, I'm gunna order you a Jeep Recovery Vehicle window decal, you deserve it!

[thesoundmaster]

Done and Done, just need to know if you want me to mail it, or wait till the next run to get it to ya

[Digger]

Bahaha, that's funny. You can give it to me at the next trail run.
