Gilmer Nov 12-14

[sam_hodnett]

At the past couple of meetings we have discussed going to BMRA on this weekend.

Who is in?

[breckboarder55]

I am going to try and make this. If I go, I would prefer to camp.

Anyone interested in camping?

[Sharpe]

**** ya we camp. Wasnt even aware there are other options.

[MR.ZAP]

I am going to the Baylor game in Waco that Saturday but will make whatever I can. Does anyone wanna wheel some Sunday? If not I'm kinda ****ed... :confused:

Depends on how much school work I have, if I don't have any I might consider staying for a few hours...

You should just drive over from Baylor and camp with us.

[TdmayfieldIV]

i'll go

I want to but I also wanna wheel if I'm gonna drive three hours.

[breckboarder55]

If you camp I would be more inclined to wheel, because I will probably want to leave early afternoon-ish.

[Hot Pocket]

If the bronco is streetable, I'm in.

If it's not, I need a tow, then I'm in :gigem:

Probably not gonna be able to go anyways... :rainbow:

[bcolman]

tentatively in, and can tow someone if needed, sharpe?

[cj nut]

hotpockets ride will be packed snuggly on my trailer keeping my jeep company on the way..... If you havnt guessed im in, and tuggin hotpocket.

[DRAGOONRANCH]

im in, and tuggin hotpocket.

:rainbow::rainbow::rainbow::rainbow:

[cj nut]

blah blah blah

[TdmayfieldIV]

[bcolman]

[Sparling]

FTX?

[TdmayfieldIV]

msII's don't have to go

[TdmayfieldIV]

Sam?:flipoff2:

[sam_hodnett]

Sam?

NO

[Topgun155]

I would be down for this.

[BroncoJo]

I would be down for this.

This link will take you straight to it.

[cj nut]

if hot pocket decides not to take his bronco I will haul on colmans trailer unless someone else needs a pull.... We should know later this week if hot pockets bronco will be going

[breckboarder55]

So I'm milking my transmission as much as I can. Considering skipping this or just going and following the newbs around to try and make her last for a while. Assuming the transmission dosent feel noticeably worse, I think I'll go.

[cj nut]

why limp it? If you blow it up (at gilmer) it will lead to more investment, and a better transmission...... Isn't that what this whole club is about? blow it up, take pictures, build it stronger, then try to blow it up again......:flipoff2:

[cj nut]

When is everyone planning on leaving/returning? who's all in?

[NealtheDestroyr]

Id really like to go but schoolwork takes priority so im gonna be a "maybe".

[breckboarder55]

Leave Friday, come come back Saturday.

You can't really get a better transmission behind the 2.5L.

[TdmayfieldIV]

Can anyone tow me? Someone is letting me borrow their trailer.

I am done with work at 6 on friday but I can load it up on thursday so we can depart at around 6:30

[sam_hodnett]

I was thinking more, leave friday, return Sunday

[crdub09]

What kind of wheeling is this? Ill probably end up going, but if I do I'd like be there friday-sunday.

[KrazyKarl02]

Gilmer is actually somewhat more organized than Alto. In theory it is run by the state. There is an old crotchity man at the entrance that no one likes (yes I know this is a public thread, I don't care if people read it). Other than that the campsites are decent, bathrooms are clean. As for wheeling it is hill climbs like the ones at Alto, but better. There are no mud pits. Trails are named, labeled, and have ratings in front of them.

[MR.ZAP]

Always a plus

[Topgun155]

I am done with class at 1:10. So I was thinking about leaving around 2 or 2:30.

[TdmayfieldIV]

I dont know if the bronco will make it. As the week goes on i'll find out.

[MR.ZAP]

Would it be worth my time to head up on Friday, wheel some of Saturday, and then head to Waco for the game?

[breckboarder55]

Yes.

I will have to find time to go to Houston and pick up some camping stuff.
If I make it in the Jeep I will be taking it easy.

[Hot Pocket]

I'm in; Corey is towing me... This should be a good shakedown run. Can't wait.

The truck is coming along nicely

[sam_hodnett]

Tentatively out

[bcolman]

hotpocket you still need a rear bumper, or atleast some recovery points before the trip

[Hot Pocket]

Rear bumper - check

Who needs recovery points? :flipoff2:

Someone loan me some

[bcolman]

just go to tractor supply and get a weld on d ring or two, they are only a few bucks each

[Sharpe]

[breckboarder55]

SO who all is for sure going?

[Hot Pocket]

I am for sure 100% going.

I'm planning on leaving league city around 7-8. I should be at Corey's (conroe) around 10 at the latest. We're trying to head out around 1030.

I have an open trail seat if anyone wants to tag along.

Leaving Friday or Saturday?

[Topgun155]

I am in too. Leaving Friday about 2 or with the main group.
Newb question here, since this is camping are we legit camping and cooking or just gonna hit the town for dinner.

[Hot Pocket]

Leaving Friday, from Conroe around 1030. Let me know if you want me to swing by the woodlands and pick you up in the Jetta. Plan is to drop the jetta off at Corey's and hop in his truck and go.

I'm planning on buying my dinner, but I'm also curious if anyone is interested in cooking. I'd be down to throw in $$ for groceries...

[bcolman]

last time we went we cooked out there, but i am not going so i dont care about food for this trip

[FJAggie07]

town is ten minutes in. I say pack sammiches.

[Topgun155]

Being that I don't have coolers or anything like that I will bring some snacks, but am planning on buying meals.

I have to go to work, if only for a half day... So that won't work.

[bcolman]

have a cooler you can borrow for the weekend if you want, just give me a call, the only thing is you will have to pick it up today if you want to use it

[Topgun155]

Thanks for the offer, but I think I will buy. It will be alot easier than getting everything.

[FJAggie07]

Wow I am glad that you are driving a 2WD, for all of these runs into town. That is 2-3 hours of wheeling time a day that ya'll will be wasting. Considering the average TAMORITE on a TAMOR trip only gets about a half hour of wheeling in due to every 5 minutes someone breaking on the trail you are really cutting your wheeling time short by going into town.

Not to mention if ya'll were driving your wheeling rigs to and from the trail you would have to air up and down each time you went to town.... that would suck. Ya'll have a good time!

[bcolman]

the air up air down thing is only if they actually do that which alot of them do not since they do not have a way to air back up

[FJAggie07]

There is an air up station at bmra

[Topgun155]

What is the plan for everyone. Are we just gonna meet up there, and where are we gonna set up base camp.

[cj nut]

leaving at some point to go somewhere.... Im planning on bringing all my food and such, I'm too cheap to be driving into town when I can last the whole weekend on 20 bucks

[TdmayfieldIV]

I don't think i'll make it. Tbi is still not tuned right, my axle is half torn apart and i have a broken radius arm drop bracket.

I'll try but I'm not sure

[KrazyKarl02]

Sounds like a good plan.

[KrazyKarl02]

If you bring it down to Crosby I have an extra TTB system we can throw in there. It will fix all those pesky straight axle problems :flipoff2:

[Topgun155]

So what the deal when we get there. Is it just drive around and find people.

[breckboarder55]

As of right now it sounds like Hotpocket and Corey are the only ones that are for sure going.

I can no longer leave work early tomorrow, and still haven't made it to my parents house to get my camping stuff.

If, IF I make it... It won't be till Saturday.

[Sharpe]

Use the CB you're supposed to have.

[sam_hodnett]

Im definitely out

[cj nut]

hmm maybe he could talk to me or hot pocket on the CBs that we are SUPPOSED to have, maybe I should fix mine or hot pockets...... cell phones work also. There is also some people from spring going with us with utv's and atv's they will also be heading out around the same time we are.... as for finding us when you get there look for a red dodge and a dove tail that will fit a couple rides, its a good place to start.

[cj nut]

me and hotpocket both have trail seats if anyone wants to tag along, BYOB though, I dont like sharing.....

[Topgun155]

I guess I'm out then. I thought there would be a much better crowd.

[Hot Pocket]

Looks like just ms and Corey then?

We should be there around 8 or 9 tonight

Anyone else going?

[Hot Pocket]

We have 3-4 rides going to Gilmer right now. Planning on possibly hitting up alto on the way home Saturday night and wheeling there Sunday.

[Hot Pocket]

Going to alto. Gilmer is too far and we want to start drinking.

[FJAggie07]

Boy this trip was a success! :gigem:

[breckboarder55]

Boy this trip was a success! :gigem:

Its hard to get away near the end of the semester.

[stx4wheeler]

Haha

[FJAggie07]

Its hard to get away near the end of the semester.

Totally dude. I mean I know y'all are all going to be studying all day Saturday and Sunday for those big exams that you all have at 8 AM Monday morning. It is so hard to get away, I mean geez everyone knows that got to wonder why in the world anyone would propose a trip this LATE in the semester!


Oh wait, y'all did.

[JB]

nice!

[Shaggy]

Should have gone to Clayton instead. I would have if I had Sunday off too.

[DRAGOONRANCH]

Going to alto. Gilmer is too far and we want to start drinking.

<------Green w/ envy. :gigem:

Truck Rodeo at Alto this weekend also! Should be a good time.

[Hot Pocket]

My first trip to Alto, and as it turns out it was truck rodeo.

Friday- got there, and it was pouring down rain. Rain was followed by a cold front of 40 degree weather. Made for a crappy night, but did some light night wheeling which was fun.

Saturday - went wheeling all around the place, managed to get the truck stuck in a nice mud hole, had water coming in through the doors. Corey pulled me out, truck wouldn't start. We also saw the mud drags and sand drags which were awesome. There were some pretty stout truck out there with plenty of horsepower. Gave me a stiffie.

Afterwards, I decide to take the 1 hour drive to oreilly, got a new starter and the truck was good to go. We wheeled for about 3 hours all around the place. I'm really happy with the truck and how it held up. It can climb muddy hills like a champ with that granny gear :gigem:

All in all, alto was a lot of fun... great success!!

[AggieTJ2007]

I am glad to hear and glad that you got to go wheeling

[DRAGOONRANCH]

Pictures damnit!!!!!!
