Rovers on the Rocks 3, 11/11/11 - 11/13/11

It was great to get out an meet everyone and give my truck a chance to mark it's territory by sprinkling bits of itself across someplace new. I can promise you guys will be seeing a fair bit more of me and some of the other FPLRG guys...

I'm still looking for all the pictures I took and a couple of these are ones other people had sent me...

I had a great time this past weekend. It was good to get out with some Rover enthusiasts, there aren't any around me. If anyone has a picture of my truck going through lake christy, could you post it for me, I don't think I've seen one yet.

I thought I got away from the trip unscathed, but now I have a rotational squeal coming from up front, maybe the driveshaft?? I need to investigate further.

yeah that sounds like the u joint in your front draft shot has dried out. time to rebuild it or replace it with a woody or great basin.

I had a awesome time Saturday wish I could have got out Sunday, but spent all morning trimming my bumper glad that is all the damage I took. When I got home and checked the oil ,etc. I seen that my air box was unlatched for all the water I went through.

Wow, there are some nice pics from everyone! I tried making the rounds the best I could, but not sure how many of you I got to meet.

Had a great time. I was in the black 90 soft top, with the black dog, and the gf. This is her favorite Land Rover event of the year...probably because it's the only one I haven't made her camp at yet.

I haven't loaded any of my pics yet, but here's a video of me doing the rock challenge. I was doing alright (looks like 32 seconds to the last set of cones), but f'd up right there when I hit the ridge that threw me way further out to the right than I wanted to be.

Awesome, thanks.

I might just order a Woody if that ends up being the source of the problem.

Josh, I think you had the cleanest, smoothest run, up until that point.

Agreed, I had quite a fun time yelling at him from the bottom of the hill, and then following him out on the strap. This is my favorite picture of saturday:

Between Brian and Dave my winch got good usage Saturday. Oh and so did my snatch block pulling him up that last 1/4 of the hill

Jake, You're able to work out all the gunk the D1 sucked up when it got dunked. This was from Friday...

Good times at talisman. Still trying to figure my truck out haven't had a ton of time or success. Stupid water

Does anyone know where my gas bottle is? I am prepping to make a deep fried turkey tomorrow and I just realized I didn't bring my tank home. :-(
