you are doing TCC the same weekend as Muster?

I said this multiple times and the answer I always got back was: "People will be back in time for Muster" .... That being said, April is filled with landmines as far as scheduling is concerned.

Randy has made it pretty clear no Side by Sides or I would have already taken my RZR out there.

MR.ZAP
03-06-2013, 03:03 PM
That would explain why I have never seen one out there!

Bad news, Katemcy is closed the weekend of the 20'th. Shain just got back to me cause they're in moab.

So we have 2 options

1. We can go the weekend of the 14th, which is parents weekend.

2. We can go somewhere else like Gilmer, Hot Springs, etc...

What works best for everyone?

Shaggy
03-29-2013, 09:17 PM
Bull****. Y'all didn't even get the weekend locked down. What the hell is y'all's problem. I made my schedule around this event.

TdmayfieldIV
03-29-2013, 09:22 PM
http://katemcyrocks.com/schedule.html

didn't say they were closed. Emailed him this week to check in and he said they were closed. Yeah, we ****ed up. We apologize, now we need to figure out a way to fix it.

I understand if yall are pissed, I am too, but let's figure out what we're gonna do instead of bitching about it.

Gilmer is having a rover rally that weekend. Just talked to flem about it the other day. Not sure if it is a closed event or not.

Definitely sucks that tamor waited 3 weeks before the event to make it official.

JB
03-29-2013, 10:04 PM
**** you. I'm bitching about it. Thats ****ing bull****. I already put in for that Friday off. Go **** yourself.

Get your ****ing **** together you half ass mother****ers.

So y'all dropped the ball completely and your response is for EVERYONE else to just deal with it, AND come up with our own solution? F U C K OFF

Emailed the guy at trees, he said he is gonna talk to the land owner on monday for us. Seems like a viable option.

Also talked to shain more at k2, may be an option since we have a good rep with them, and we can take care of ourselves.

I wouldn't mind a Clayton run. Would want to take off another day though.

Shaggy

Any updates?

Shaggy

My brothers jeep now has a front locker. Ready to go. Just need to know where.

Edit. Sorry upside down. iPhone Gayness.

TdmayfieldIV
03-31-2013, 10:59 PM
Waiting on reply from trees and k2. If those don't happen it's probably gonna be hidden falls. There are mostly smaller trails, but some big stuff too.

No new members are going to want to go to clayton, it's just too expensive.

I can't think of any other parks tcc worthy......

Good thing about hidden falls is that they allow side by sides and 4 wheelers.

Cavasar
03-31-2013, 11:21 PM
So there will be a run on April 20th to an undecided place as of now? I'd like to come, but I have to ask off from work soon.

$35 per rig and $15 per rider

What about plain old 4 wheelers?

Are you not bringing the Scout?

I am, but if anyone needs a spot, I can hook up my dads gooseneck and pull two rigs. I might do that anyway since my trailer is so sketchy

For anyone who hasn't been to Tree's Ranch wondering what it's like or worth the trip....

It's an awesome place to wheel in the Hill Country. Plenty of diversity in trail difficulty, ranging from hill climbs, canyons, and river beds. The camping area is wide open, so there's plenty of space to setup. Ingram/Kerrville are not too far away if you need parts or supplies.

Pics from a few years ago to give you an idea...

So do we have a head count yet? How many rigs? People?

Shaggy
04-05-2013, 01:02 AM
I'm towing my jeep and my brothers jeep. Will be me my brother and his girlfriend. I think Mason is going to sit this one out because of the change in venue. Leaving Victoria Friday around 3pm

MR.ZAP
04-05-2013, 03:34 PM
Not sure on a true headcount, but I would say 15+ rigs and upwards of 30 people.

TdmayfieldIV

I assume there are not any t-shirts, food or competition?

MR.ZAP
04-05-2013, 05:56 PM
There should be all three, as far as I know? Someone clarify.

DRAGOONRANCH
04-05-2013, 07:21 PM
Yeah, let me know on the food end. I don't mind helping cook.

MR.ZAP
04-05-2013, 08:04 PM
Good deal, Ed! Also, I stole one of your pictures for the Facebook, Robbie.

TdmayfieldIV
04-06-2013, 03:53 AM
There will be 2 comps. One koh style on a 4 mile course, and one on a rock garden. We will also have a trophy.

There will be t-shirts also, and they're gonna be sweet.

Looking into food also.

We changed venues, that's it.

Shaggy
04-06-2013, 09:22 AM
The 4 mile koh style sounds dangerous. Ill compete in the rock one if my **** ain't broke

MR.ZAP
04-06-2013, 12:13 PM
The 4 mile koh style sounds dangerous. Ill compete in the rock one if my **** ain't broke

We will cut the KOH course down, 4 miles is too long anyways. We can pick out the easiest section and use that.

Shaggy

I'm just worried about the go fast style of KOH racing with non go fast rigs. Hopefully everyone will know their limits. I do think it could be really cool if done safely.

DRAGOONRANCH
04-06-2013, 06:37 PM
I don't know if its the same course as King of Trees was, but the Beast did fairly well. There was only one section of "high speed rock garden" in the bottom of a creek bed. The rest was obstacles and gravel paths/pasture.

MR.ZAP
04-07-2013, 02:05 PM

Anybody have a correct address for the gate? Or is everyone just going off of the coordinates on their site?

Cavasar
04-14-2013, 11:37 PM
It's basically this "Ranch Road 3235, Mountain Home, Real, Texas 78058" Not quite the address, but type that into google and you'll find it.

MR.ZAP
04-15-2013, 05:08 AM
Yeah, that's what I got in Google Maps via their coordinates.

DRAGOONRANCH
04-15-2013, 05:25 AM

MR.ZAP
04-15-2013, 01:20 PM

That's a good question JB, but I don't see why not? Tommy???

bcolman
04-15-2013, 07:06 PM
I would confirm with Trees management because I know in the past they have required trail leaders and they may not have anyone out there on friday.

Shaggy

They are not requiring trail leaders for this run. But I still want to know for sure we can wheel Friday. That makes a huge difference.

That's not uncommon it seems anymore. You could never night wheel at K-Rocks or K2 and Gilmer's curfew is 10 PM.

I have been trying to put the location into my iPhone and am having no luck. The GPS in my truck is kinda crappy so I use my phone most of the time. Some reason google maps won't do coordinates. Any recommendations.?

Nevermind. I figrured it out. I was putting them in there wrong.

Shaggy

MR.ZAP
04-18-2013, 08:06 AM
I will probably be leaving around 5 for anyone that has class. Also, there are plenty of empty seats leaving town on Friday, so if you are missing because you 'don't have a ride', you don't want to be there anyway.

MR.ZAP
04-18-2013, 08:40 AM
Would taking 290 to get out there be smart or should I do the 35 to 10 route?

Sparling
04-18-2013, 09:06 AM
I would not even think of 35 and 10 if you are leaving after 2. Friday 5 o'clock San Antonio traffic is pretty crappy. Not Houston crappy but still crappy.

JB
04-18-2013, 10:43 AM
Weather looks good, though it does dip into the 30s Friday night. Should have a nice little fire.

Would taking 290 to get out there be smart or should I do the 35 to 10 route?

There is only a few extra miles going 35 to 10, but much better roads if your towing and can time the traffic out. 290 is cool for the RRDH crowd and some cool places to stop and grub along the way if you choose to.

So we plan on arriving around noon-1

When you get there you need to sign a waiver with Bob, He already has the money so you should be good to go. If we aren't the first ones there, have an experienced person find a campsite I.E Ed, JB

WE WILL BE COLLECTING MONEY ON FRIDAY NIGHT, SO HAVE CASH OR I'LL SHOOT YOUR KNEECAPS OUT WITH MY TACTICOOL WINGMASTER BIACHES

I want to thank everyone for all the help I got out on the trail Saturday night

Ed, thanks for getting up to the top of that trail and getting the winch line out pretty fast

Taylor, thanks for being the first one to get there and make sure I was good, and helping get it back over, and hauling ass back to camp to get the chainsaw

Evan, thanks for winching trees down for me

Tate, thanks for getting in there and setting the brake and helping get it down. Also for the hand sawing

Tate's brother, thanks for relaying messages to Ed and driving me back to camp

Robbie, thanks for the ATF

Sparling, you were in there somewhere, doing something, thanks

Austin/Nix, thanks for the chainsawing

Tommy, thanks for hauling all my yard sale back up the hill to Ed's truck

Sam, you were in there to helping doing something. Gracias

Hope I didn't miss anyone.

I know it was a dumb roll. Fueled by a little ego and adrenaline. But would have been sweet if I made it!

JB
04-22-2013, 09:57 PM
I had a great time. I would describe it as a much bigger, much better Canyons, yet not as intense as k2. For the stocker rigs, this place is great. Bob was incredibly nice. The facilities and campground kinda sucked, but the trail map and trails were great

I had a a blast wheeling a stock TJ. Did 99% of the blue trails and a couple of the orange. It has alot of creek bottom trails. Lots of loose rock on the steep sections make that difficult.

You absolutely have to plan for a whole day on the trail. The ranch road back is a rough rocky road and it is probably a 45-60 min drive back from the back of the property.

I think we should make a trip to Trees every year. I also think we could help them out and maybe donate/fab some things like a bigger better fire ring, and maybe some homemade wood bench or something. Getting a trail cut and named after TAMOR or aTM or something would be cool as well. Do we have enough to donate functional chainsaw? ***.

I know getting me recovered Sunday kinda took over, but were there really any plans for a comp?

Didn't see to many new guys out there. Matt rode along, the Samurai and another TJ disappeared?

Great trip, night weather sucked, sleeping in truck sucked, still hungover, had a great time.

Turned out better than expected, but still some hickups. I was looking for a comp course all day but between running back and forth to camp several times I never could find anything suitable. Plus, Jb's recovery and the amount of broken rigs kinda put a damper on it.

Carnage

Me: Made one hill climb before my transmission blew up, and I blew a trailer tire.
Sam: Blew both front axle shafts and someone welded his axles to his frame and filled his tires with concrete
Jb: few light scratches
Ed: Clutch linkage
Evan: Blew a bead and bent a rim Koh racing back to camp to get his winch controller
Dylan: Battery or alternator
Robbie: battery and alternator
Taylor: Ran out of beer during Jb recovery
Tate: Probably killed his t-case, but his axle didn't run away this time :flipoff2:
Adam: CV shaft in his 4 wheeler

Probably forgetting something....

Shaggy
04-22-2013, 11:48 PM
My tcase never let go. I took it a little easy late Saturday because I have never had a rig make it to the comp on Sunday. Was pretty bummed there wasn't one.
Austin broke a u-joint
I had a tire go flat hauling ass back to camp and hitting a ledge. Drove back to camp on it. Then it went flat again pulling Johns rig out Sunday. Think it was just dirt in the bead with too low of air pressure that caused that one. I raped my hood on two different trees. I had the radiator overflow tank go into the fan. Thought it was a radiator at first and then found out I was lucky after popping the hood.
Oh my transfercase linkage broke at camp before even starting the weekend. I had to crawl under all weekend to shift.
My case never let up but is extremely loud. Doesn't want to hold the jeep on a hill when shut off either.
I killed my top too when sliding into a tree bad when hooked to JB

My brothers jeep has some pin striping, his clutch took a beating Friday but seems good now, both nerf bars bent and top ripped.
Thank you JB for taking him with you all weekend. He is now hooked and will be on every run I go on.

My scout isnt that rough :flipoff2:

one of my trailer tires and tread decided to get a divorce on my way back to Paris yesterday, and that whore tread went ahead and wrapped itself around my trailer axle, so that added some extra time for my trip home, Thanks for getting me that spare Taylor!

As for carnage, blew both stubs, and my short side axleshaft. Long side is still fine. my exhaust also separated a little bit on the way back to camp.

All in all I thought the place rocked, but damn that drive is long.

Fred would know better but can you swap the outers to true d-44 outers instead of running the strange/weaker scout d-44/d-30 stuff? I would think you could take an entire waggy axle and swap everything from the knuckles out while keeping the 5x5.5" bolt pattern. You could also run high steer with the chevy flat top knuckles (don't believe you can do that with the scout knuckles).

Your pig is heavier then mine but it has a smaller wheel/tire combo and less go-pedal. I have never seen anyone snap d-44 shafts like you (you must have been wheeling right!).

Had a great time testing out the ZJ after working on it for 20 hours strait the day before. If it wasn't for sparling staying up till 5am helping I wouldn't have made it..

The trails were great but our group was having trouble navigating with their map which made for a lot of U-turns. If it wasn't for a loose trac-bar bracket I could have made it out with JB's group and been able to see more of the park.

My carnage. The part on the right was the fix for my taco'ed clutch linkage from the Colorado trip. The reserviour crumbled in my hand when I tried to pull the cap off to refil it when I was putting the master back together. I still need to go get a picture of the 'fix' for it. It's pretty redneckerific.
