Alto Run 10/2 *This Saturday*

[MR.ZAP]

Gonna do a day trip to Alto, Tx for the new members. It's the very first weekend in October and Ags are playing at OSU. It's only a two hour drive, so no worries there. New guys: if you need a ride/tow/whatever just post up and ask! Meet at the McDonalds on Northgate at 8 am Saturday. We will probably be leaving around 9.

So far for rigs we have...

thats kinda close to haloween run..... im out saving dinero for haloween.....

[MR.ZAP]

It's mainly for new guys and they probably won't be going on the halloween run. We needed to do it sometime soon so that was the best time.

[cj nut]

why couldnt we bring them on the haloween run so they could meet all the older guys? im not trying to argue against going them or anything, just wondering?

[KrazyKarl02]

Out, I gotta go kill some Nazi's

[sam_hodnett]

They are all more than welcome to come on the halloween run, but this is more for doing trails and light mudding and everyone getting to know each other

Halloween run is more of a crowded mud bog, drunk fest, that will be impossible to run any trails on, it will just be awesomeness

Exactly. This run is for the new guys to do some real wheelin. Too hectic on the Halloween run for them to do anything.

[BroncoJo]

I'm a probable, definite maybe depending on funds. I could use a trail seat or tow someone with the dodge.

[cj nut]

last year we did pretty well on trails during haloween though, but yes awsomeness is a understatment

Tow me and you can have a trail seat, I'll pay for some diesel.:gigem:

[BroncoJo]

find a trailer

[sam_hodnett]

I was gonna say you could tow me, seeing as i have a trailer and everything is at your house,

[MR.ZAP]

Take him up on it travis! I wanna see the inaugural TAMOR run of the infamous buckwheat!!!

[BroncoJo]

Any interest in this?

Since it's a non-Event weekend I'll be taking the dodge and attempt some mild wheeling. This place offers a good variety of terrain suitable for anything, including mini-vans:gigem:.



My plan is to drive up there Saturday, stay the night and drive back early Sunday.

Tow Sam, I'll need a ride up though. I'm kinda excited to be the guy without a rig there so I can drink all day and spot people

I think Sam's is broke? If not I'm down.

That would leave 1-2 spots for riders out there.

[sam_hodnett]

Im gonna try and get the brakes fixed and the 4X4 working by then, but i dunno if i will have time... but am still going either way

[MR.ZAP]

Sweet, I hope it's fixed by then... New guys, this run is for you!!!!!

Kick ass man! We will have a better idea of departure time and whatnot at the meeting next week. I think the original plan was to leave late afternoon Friday and camp two nights but I dunno if that's still what's going on.

Glad to see some new members posting and making plans for a trip! Make your way into the new members introduction thread in the kitchen and tell us a little bit about yourself and your rig.

[MR.ZAP]

When on Saturday? Somewhat early morning I am assuming???

[BroncoJo]

saturday am, depending on level of hung-overness.

[MR.ZAP]

*** okay man, sounds good to me :gigem:

[TdmayfieldIV]

who is actually going on this

Zach's Jeep
Maybe Buckwheat
Travis' mall crawler

We can't go to alto for the newbs if none of them come. I'll send out an email tonight about it and hopefully we can get some to come. We would have more people coming if we weren't going to the same ****ing park two times in a month.

[DRAGOONRANCH]

It's Alto. It's a completely different park from a wheeling weekend to an event weekend!!!

Get on it PR Boy!

[Sparling]

I'm not going, I have to go on a FTX that weekend.

Looks like sterling and hellbent are wanting to go, I bet we will find more interest at the next meeting too.

Yeah that's why I called you and made sure that we were having one next week because it will help fill in the new guys who have yet to get on the forum.

[Michael]

I'm going and bringing my four wheeler. probably gonna leave early though my deer lease is right down the road and its opening weekend for bow season.

[RCcola55]

[BroncoJo]

Lets talk about departure time at the meeting

[uglyota]

Who will be acting as safety officer for this trip? And where/when will the safety video be shown?

[DRAGOONRANCH]

[BroncoJo]

Actually we are going to talk about it at the meeting (Wednesday).


Lets please keep this thread on topic as we do have several new members interested.

[BroncoJo]

please delete the non-trip-planning related posts then, and let the new guys know when and where they can view the safety video

We are not certain yet, going to ask for input at the meeting. Probably will just end up doing it before the trip on Saturday.

[Seth]

Bring the vid to the meeting?

[Hellbent]

I am defiantly going.

Overall a good trip, besides the trailer tire issue, but Alto is dry.


Not only did we have a safety video for the first time in four years but we also had a demonstration (multiple) of how to un-stick tommy. :flipoff2:

We had 7 wheeling rigs, one ATV, and around 10 new guys. Probably about 15 guys there total.

[jerryg79]

everyone must really be paying attention to the safety video....since they are all looking different directions

[TdmayfieldIV]

The video was really old and gay. We had a safety demonstration afterwards.

[AggieTJ2007]

The video was really old and gay. We had a safety demonstration afterwards.

yes it is. I had a thought about making a new safety video one weekend. We would need someone who is good at editing and just spend a weekend demonstrating how to safely recover vehicles.

Clayton would be good for the video clips if someone brought a video camera and then they could be edited into a new safety video

[JB]

i hope it rains in the next 2 weeks.

[cj nut]

looks like it needs rain bad... dust is going to suck

no ****ing way that trailer was overloaded. ****ty tires are the culprit.

Looked like a good turn out.

[DRAGOONRANCH]

1500 lb trailer and 5000-+ brawnk put it pretty close w/ 3.5k axles.

[BroncoJo]

1500 lb trailer and 5000-+ brawnk put it pretty close w/ 3.5k axles.

Those axles were pretty stout, I'm pretty sure they were 5200's.

[KrazyKarl02]

They are 6 lug axles, so it is kind of hard to say just by looking at the picture. Either way I tow the Klogger on twin 3.5k (7k) setup. Should be comprable weight. You are right at the edge of the load limit, but I agree, I don't think that was the issue.

I have a hell of a time finding decent trailer tires. The Carlisle that discount sells sucks my left nut. The ones that trailer wheel and frame in Houston sell pop when you just look at them. I am having good luck with Goodyears from Walmart. Currently I have 205 wide with a 15" rim. Next time I think I am going to step up to 215 or 225, this should increase the tire's load rating and I do not think I will rub.

[AggieTJ2007]

I agree on the carlisle tires from discount sucking but I got some decent no name tire in colorado that I like alot

[JB]

I see way too many shirts with sleeves in those pictures. This is Shiloh Ridge. C'mon.

[cj nut]

looks like somebody may need to re-pack some wheel bearings in the near future.... looks like a good trip, I cant wait for haloween ride...

[96beast]

So where's the rest of the pics/videos from the trip? I'd love to see the maroon 150 going through the mud again...

Overall I feel like it was a great newb trip.

They were all pretty hesitant but after a little peer pressure and hazing, they started to push their vehicles a little harder.

Wish there would have been a few other older members with rigs to help out, but they did great for a first trip out. We just nee to emphasize the need for proper recovery points, and tow straps next time.

I was gonna say you could tow me, seeing as i have a trailer and everything is at your house,

We saw how this worked out :flipoff2:

Were the forms brought?

[BroncoJo]

Were the forms brought?

I don't think so, but we really don't yet have a policy for that. However we are working on it along with plenty of other stuff (such as turning names into Stu-Act for each trip:confused:). Let's not turn this thread into a policy discussion.

Overall I feel like it was a great newb trip.

They were all pretty hesitant but after a little peer pressure and hazing, they started to push their vehicles a little harder.

Wish there would have been a few other older members with rigs to help out, but they did great for a first trip out. We just nee to emphasize the need for proper recovery points, and tow straps next time.


Here is an idea. Have a wrenchfest on a Saturday or weekend for the newer guys where the older members can help them get recovery points mounted.

Just got some hooks and a 3" by 30' 27.000lbs strap from TSC. Someone wanna help me with my Aussie and front hooks this weekend??

[Sharpe]

Hooks are bad. You want fully captured shackle mounts.

[crdub09]

Damn, well that's what I've got for now. I don't have a way to mount any other points without drilling. The hooks have a latch on the backside though- not load bearing of course.

[Sharpe]

Start a buildup thread so we can discuss this further.

Factory style tow hooks are really your best and only option on stock bumpers.
They will work fine for now.

I would check out ebay for a rear TJ hook.

These are what I use in the front:

To weld to sheet metal bumpers? Or weld to the cross-members? Might as well build a bumper if you are going to do that.

Yep, that is what I am insinuating.

[breckboarder55]

Que?

He has no idea what you are talking about... :laughing:

[crdub09]

Well the ones I got were $15 a piece from TSC and are rated to 10,000lbs which is the same if not better than the factory ones. I didnt see any real way to mount a shackle without welding, and like yall said I might as well make a bumper. Hopefully Ill get a tire carrier and front for xmas, heh heh

[DRAGOONRANCH]

This looks like it turned out to be a pretty good trip! I really hope that you new guys will be able to come out with us for the Halloween run. Trust me, it's going to be off the chain!

[TdmayfieldIV]

[TdmayfieldIV]
