Had a great time exept for the following.
#1 Turfs "I LOVE MAN JUICE" surf shoes.
#2 Brian emptying his bowels into a bucket on the trail.
#3 The almighty head muckety muck off nelrc showing up 45 min late to his own event.

At the end of the day the event was awesome and the park was great.Nice work Eddy.

Awesome trip guys! Most of my pics are up on FaceBook.

It's cool to see someone got video of me bashing my door and ripping off the remains of my rear bumper...LOL...

Awesome pictures and videos . Love that RRC

Sorry I couldn't make it out. I heard I missed a great event! My Disco has a bad CV and no CDL and the Defender is going under the knife soon.

Next time

I'm not sure that's a valid excuse. Seems like more of a reason why it should have been there!!! I think almost all of the D90s were out of commission for Anthracite either by the time we got there or by the time we had been out on the trails for a bit. I think only Justin's and Dana's rigs were the only ones left by the end of the day?

Nope only Danas. Justins truck kept over heating cause he kept losing tension on the v-belt. To be fair Justins truck probably took the biggest beating out of all of us. I have some other pics and a little video I will post up later on today.

Here's the only two videos I got

I tried looking at your FB photos last night, but the photos are set to private I think (I don't have FB). Is there a way for you to create a public album in there while keeping your profile private, so that we/I can see your pics?

Ah, so only one D90 made it off the trail in the end! I can never remember his name, but the yellow D90 looked like it may have had some troubles as well (saw Randy was inspecting it).

Yea Franks truck had a bad u joint and something was messed up with the stub axle or bearings - never saw the end result of what was actually wrong with it.

Justins power steering pump was over worked for sure and the belt wasnt staying tight and they kept jumping pulleys.

Mine always sounds like that trying to turn 35's in the rocks poor thing

Looking at the carnage from this weekend, I think I am going to have to keep my second car if I want to keep up with you guys.

Defenders suck

Carnage? Bah! Just do what I do...own 4 Discos...odds are 1 will run on any given day. (LOL!)

No way - just build your truck to handle anything and you will do fine. I was very happy with how my truck did this weekend. I wheeled the hardest trails and didnt break anything at all. (knock on wood)..

It all comes down to how well your truck is built, experience, how much you care about your truck and driving style.

Is that why it looked like you were wheeling with your eyes closed sometimes?

True, and I think my rig as it is now it should take everything I throw at it (I'll need to add sliders though). But accidents do happen so if I smash out a window or bend something I can't really get to work that Monday unless I have a second car.

You can drive the truck without a window! Just use a little duct tape and a garbage bag. and dont leave any valuables in it.

I work in Trenton, NJ. I really don't want to make it that easy for the locals to steal.

x2 on the Sliders. Get the ones with tree bars and hi-lift jack points if you can. The tree bars should stick out slightly beyond your door handles. (If you take it anywhere rough, you'll thank me later.)
