Friday #2

 

[RiverDiva]

I had such a great weekend! Thanks to everyone for making the trip out...it'll definitely be a repeat event. I love my Teryx...I had such a great time driving it. Going to the top of P Mountain was probably my favorite part of the weekend. Thanks to Chemical Driven for the wild night ride in that rail. I should have known something was up when noone would ride with me and Dave and William both came up seperately and tightened my harnesses to the point that I couldn't breathe! My award for best bbq would have gone to WMC's ribs and Cole Trickle's pulled pork. Both were amazing! What a great group of people....can't wait till the next event!

 

[Nord]

I wish I could have made it. Looks like a blast. I celebrated my birthday at Morongo since Syd couldn't make it out there. I should have left her behind............:skull

 

[Outlaw]

Looks like a great time, I just have one question.

Were the judges gay? How could this girl NOT WIN??

I say she got ripped off:champagne:

[Cigalert]

I decided to yank the boat out of the slip Saturday morning

WMC and Wendi awesome people. You guys are too freakin nice, it was like watching an assembly plant lose electrical trying to get me a taco as we were leaving. "WHERE'S THE CILANTRO? AAAAHHHHH!!!!!" Did you ever find that bottle opener in the bottom of the cooler.

Cole and Djunk....thanks for including me in the ride. RD, you can blame these gentlemen for taking me "away, never to be seen". They convinced me to follow them up a knoll with my 20+lb tire pressure. I'll make a video of the outcome. BTW, following mid travel rhino's in a stocker is a monster pita. I owe you guys some beers.

WTFMA, great to meet and BS for a sec. The bennington is ready to fill what you've been missing. You're 2 streets over man...we'll hook up in havi sometime...it's way closer than that "other" place down south.

Really nice to put faces to screen names, lots of people I never got an opportunity to meet. Lots of people I've met but didn't get to say hi to. Really wish we had more time to hang out vs. hi-bye.

And when I said my daughter would get cranky I mean the terrible 2's invaded her body and completely took over all actions. I would have been beyond embarrassed if we had stayed.

Is that Andy's wheel? If so, I know where you can get your stock wheels back.

Nice meeting you too and glad you enjoyed the ride. Don't worry about the suspension and tire pressure woes. You looked like you were having fun and thats all that matters. Can't wait to see some video from the ride. I really need to get my system upgraded so I can edit what I got.

Just admitt you had fun with the rhino...lol

That little ride will now cost you $3000 in suspension and put the porshe on the back burner for another 2 years:skull

 

[Cole Trickle]

WTF.......:skull

Pretty sure I was cooking not quite sure who was watching my little guy at this point in time since my wife is in the picture giving food to the judges.

This is why you don't bring the grand parents and great uncles to the party when they like to party:bash:

I feel better now that I know a responsible adult was with him...lol:rotflmao:

Next time have her try and keep his clothes on....That picture is a little too red neck for my liking with the earnhardt flag in the back ground lmfao.....:skull

Sure anytime just let me know. I'm out there almost every weekend. Got some cool places to show you.

 

[Riverbound]

What kit?

Its a secret but its no MT

 

[djunkie]

Its a secret but its no MT

Make sure its a good one. Theres a lot of LT kits out there that don't even work as good as our MT kit.

 

[Cole Trickle]

Its a secret but its no MT

lol....secrets huh

There are only a couple on the market worth doing and I know the one your doing pushes the front and rear out 2". I still think you should have done the XMF kit:skull

 

[Cole Trickle]

She said she was trying. He kept lifting his shirt to show his belly.

Its becuse hes a little pimp.......:skull

 

[Riverbound]

Other than the fact I have a 4 seater, stereo, BFGs, etc.... I won't have a problem keeping up with anyone through the rough stuff

I'm all about making sure I dont spill my Beer anymore

 

[Cigalert]

Great, so I've been checking out kits, shocks...anything to make the ride smoother and I'm looking at the weather thinkin...there ain't no way I'll get to enjoy a lick of anything I throw at it right now.

I'm going to wait on a-arms and what not for the time being. But I'm strongly considering shocks ASAP.

Steel body Bilsteins........:drillsergeant:

You can some times find them used for around $800

 

[Cole Trickle]

Hate to be the barer of bad news. Shocks alone don't work. Midtravel alone doesn't work. Do what I did, spend a ton of dough and then go out and buy a Prowler and then sell the Rhino for less than half what you got in to it :skull

But I have a suggestion. Since you wanna go midtravel and I wanna go stock. Maybe we can work something out? No beer this time, gotta be cash since I gotta fix up the Prowler now. Lone Star midtravel and Walker Evans resi shocks. Damn good stuff maynard.

lol....your tax guy tell you to blow an obsene amount of $$$ prior to may 2010?:skull

Congrats on the new toy....

Your desire to go stock sounds expensive. You're right...no beer. I have to take at least $900 for my stock setup. 127 miles, 41 hours on it when I stopped on Saturday. Damn good stuff maynard.

However, we should talk. Perhaps a deal can be made. No sourdough eithher I talkin real dough.

 

[Cole Trickle]

Its a farm tool, so its deductable as far as I'm concerned.

Its being delivered tomorrow or Wed

Red or Green?

When does the LT and cage go on???? After all you want to make sure your safe when tending to the crops:skull

 

[Cigalert]

Nice shot over the bow bread man

Over the bow?

PM me a price...I might be interested in this deal for my pops.

I do know one of the judges were gay... and it wasn't Tim...

i know for sure that it wasn't the guy on the other end of the table....all that food was to die for and hard to judge, if there was rules wmc to me was one and cole's wings for true bbq'ing and hw's was excellent, it was all outstanding and worthy of first place, the folks met and there comrotatery makes this rdp thing so much fun....thanks for the fun and good time

I thought Norcal was all about this sort've stuff?

RD

 

[DaveC]

No way. Very few good public spots. There are only a handful of organized state runned SVRA areas which are very small and very overcrowded.

Best spots we go to are out-of-state. LOL.. Oregon, Nevada, Southern California :skull

The only public land we can use is the National Forest, but lots of B.S. rules. There are good spots in Tahoe and Northern Coastal ranges. (Shasta, Mendocino counties)

There is a huge advocacy program to eliminate offroad usage in National forest areas in Norcal. Camping restrictions, travel restrictions, use restrictions, etc. etc. Most of the times we are violating some kind of rule.

For example, new rules require that you must stay on an existing designated road that is published for offroading (i.e. no off roading or usage of existing roads without the correct signage.). No usage at all during the winter from 1/1-4/1 each year (used to be closed 24 hours after heavy rain). Various camping restrictions.

Plus the usual legal shenanigans. They constantly test major off road areas for erosion (mostly naturally occurring but that doesn't matter ) and drops of oil and then file suit and claim environmental damage. This is how they get the best areas closed. :bash: The courts always side with the enviornmentalists and order closures.

At my house in tahoe, the riding area is 2 miles down a remote road. The ranger insists we loan up the UTV's on a trailer and trailer them 2 miles down the road. :bash: This road is virtually abandoned. My buddy got a $250 ticket for using a hill to turn around, that wasn't a designated road.

They got one major official riding area closed already. (Clear creek). And are working on #2 (Carnegie) Plus the new rules got several closed during the winter. (Stoneyford, Tahoe National Forest)

I figure they should have everything closed to offroading in Norcal within 10 years.

BTW since these are all in California, once they get Norcal closed, they will come for you guys in Socal....:bash:

I thought Norcal was all about this sort've stuff?

I decided to yank the boat out of the slip Saturday morning

WMC and Wendi awesome people. You guys are too freakin nice, it was like watching an assembly plant lose electrical trying to get me a taco as we were leaving. "WHERE'S THE CILANTRO? AAAAHHHHH!!!!!" Did you ever find that bottle opener in the bottom of the cooler.

Cole and Djunk....thanks for including me in the ride. RD, you can blame these gentlemen for taking me "away, never to be seen". They convinced me to follow them up a knoll with my 20+lb tire pressure. I'll make a video of the outcome. BTW, following mid travel rhino's in a stocker is a monster pita. I owe you guys some beers.

WTFMA, great to meet and BS for a sec. The bennington is ready to fill what you've been missing. You're 2 streets over man...we'll hook up in havi sometime...it's way closer than that "other" place down south.

Really nice to put faces to screen names, lots of people I never got an opportunity to meet. Lots of people I've met but didn't get to say hi to. Really wish we had more time to hang out vs. hi-bye.

And when I said my daughter would get cranky I mean the terrible 2's invaded her body and completely took over all actions. I would have been beyond embarrassed if we had stayed.

Is that Andy's wheel? If so, I know where you can get your stock wheels back.

Roger? You were there? I feel really bad for not introducing myself.:smackhead

 

[Cigalert]

Roger? You were there? I feel really bad for not introducing myself.:smackhead

Yeah, I was there. I even asked someone who you were/where you were and suddenly I was tackled by guys with ear buds talking into their wrist....probably why you didn't see me.
