That would be cool with me...others might think it might bring too much publicity but if we hit major trails all ready widely known there shouldn't be too much harm. Besides I know Lumpy has been dying to be back in the movies ever since his last performance at the moonrocks!!!!! Common guys lets do this!!! I know a moonrock trip has surly got be in the plans in the future since Mr. Rockape is on the verge of finishing the single seater!!!

And damn get your ass in gear we moved the rubicon run back to september so thats almost two months away....:tongue: Dont pull a Connect on us! or better yet a Sierra Valley and take three months to fix his winsheild and the whole time he didnt even work....

If you get off at 6 probably wont get to whatever trail untill 6:30, only gives a couple of hours of daylight. Besides you probably wont show anyway :rolleyes: I say friday like 4 or 4:30

This weekend for me is shot...daughters 5th bday party! But First weekend in August (4th or 5th) lets plan something...I am thinking Bronco canyon to start...I feel there should be a marathon of runs...like one every other weekend!!!!!!

RP Films
July 24th, 2007, 04:39 PM
Lets do this. Just need to know when so I can plan with the kids. Or get another filmer to go. And to LET EVERYONE know!! It isnt us who lets the Cat out of the bag......The less known the trail is the BETTER!! Then it is most likely hasnt been on Film already. Also We would NEVER diclose a location.......

After work Budwieser run next tuesday. Gotta get an exhaust leak fixed and Im in Loyalton house sitting this week. I could get off a bit early, but it only takes 1 - 3 hours to do depending on how it goes and who shows.

Wixjp actually should try wheelin his rig for once. And no parking your jeep and riding with rockape:wink:

if you're gonna be in loyalton this weekend lets get up that mt. behind your house. To bad we cant bring chain saws... If your jeep isnt ready you can ride in mine. My brother might like to go so just bring your ski goggles and gloves and you can sit in the middle. :eek:

Just blew out the new fucking header gasket I put in. Easy fix. We walked the trail up this last weekend and ITS SICK! Goes way up for a mile or so and is doable with lockers. We rolled some rocks and moved what logs we could. There is also a trail out to the top of the other steep downhill to get out.

July 24th, 2007, 11:21 PM

SV and I took our jeeps out late sat night. Was going real good, warm weather full moon some good roads. Then we both broke... I broke my dana 30 and at the same time he broke some clutch linkage. Will post pictures of the carnage and extraction later.

THAT ARB AND VAC-LOC AXLE NOT AGREE WITH EACH OTHER???OR A U-JOINT???SO DID SV BREAK HIS CLUTCH PARTS OR DID THEY JUST FALL OFF???

U-joint and ears on the yoke broke. Then tried to drive it a little farther down and the whole wheel fell off. Broke real easy too, not real hard on the throttle, going down hill, and nothin too extreme. Seemed like it broke way to easy. Guess thats the dana 30.

SV had a small bolt break, probably just because it was old and rusty. We got out with his jeep just couldnt shift it. This was all at 11:30pm so we didnt get out untill 1am. I had a spare shaft but didnt have the right socket for the spindle nut. So I still have to get mine out.

Well i am redoing the steering as we speak. That reamer worked sweet Rockape. Hope someone has a little more background info on that pic...that looks to be the first waterfall...not sure how you could flop it that hard there, unless he was on the bypass and flopped...thats kinda steep and off camber...time for a cab cut an an exo cage!

It didnt happen right there, that is where I was able to get the jeep to, then after high lifting we found out the tire was just balancing on the ball joint.

MR.ROCKAPE
July 31st, 2007, 10:04 AM
THATS PRETTY GOOD TO PULL OUT THE BALL JOINTS LIKE THAT!!!!ARE YOU SURE THEY WERENT FATIGUED FROM SITTING IN ONE SPOT TOO LONG???:eek:

BIG BLUE
July 31st, 2007, 10:23 AM
OH OKAY IF YOU SAY SO...if you wanna get it back on the trail I got a dan 30 sitting in the side yard you could have for super cheap....like 40 bucks! that way you can still do some wheeling before switching to the mogs...has 4.11 gears right now.
