Alto

[stinger7401]

Alright kiddos, the Alto trip is coming up this sunday!!! If you think you might want to go you need to come and sign up at the meeting and make sure that the Safety officer (Frick) gets your information (S.S. # and emergency contact) YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO TRAVEL WITH US IF WE DON'T HAVE THEM!!!

Also if you are a new member you need to see the safety video before you can attend a trip. Stay posted for details for this.

There should be plenty of seats, Im not taking my rig but I will be driving out there with a fresh supply of tools and good times..

[usmcagg02]

i havent been before but am interested in goin. where is it? how tough are the trails? can i make it in my truck?

Stay out of the mud and you'll be fine.

To the administration: Keep the newbies out of the mud. I think the lessons learned after most every trip to Shiloh should be taken in to account. It makes for a pretty crappy day if you mess something up as soon as you get there or when your DD breaks down on the way home and someone has to come pick you up from the middle of nowhere half-drunk at 3AM.

Make sure everyone is very well warned about how bad the "little" puddles of red clay are in Alto and if possible keep everyone in a group to watch the rednecks screw their vehicles up before they try anything without knowing the depth of an unknown mud hole.

Some guys went to Ram Jam this past weekend and almost every vehicle I know anything about came back injured. A guy in WFO has a Dodge on 40s and he buried himself in a normal looking puddle and muddy ****water was seeping in the cab of the truck. That's a pretty damned deep hole...

[StevenAg03]

lets see if we can recount the damage from the inagural TAMOR Alto trip.

Lynda's YJ - Alt. dont know what else

Brandee's TJ 0- Alt

Brett's TJ - Motor

Kawasaki's Wagoneer - blew the starter into about a hundred pieces

Shoeless Joes Blazer - blew up the 10 bolt

Jason Merek's TJ - i think it took out an axleshaft there

Steve Luchack's Sammy - burned up a clutch



Anyone else think of anything?

[crawlingno5]

didnt that one guy with the blue z71 burned up something b/c he kept revving his engine to get the ac colder?

[crawlingno5]

Blue Z71? you mean Aaron Weldon? his was teal and it was auto....but if i remember correctly his had some kind of damage and had to have it towed back by some girl that was ran off by a former member of this club (HUHHUH...I GHAT LOCKA....HUHHUH). on the way back something happened and her truck ran off into the ditch fawking both of them up.

[Shaggy]

[crawlingno5]

[Mud King]

STAY CLEAR OF ANYTHING THAT RESEMBLES MUD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Got water in motor, burnt up fan clutch, ruined first centerforce, seized a starter, totally roasted the radiator, broke one of the plugs off in the block drove home on five cylinders, oh yeah and the winch drinked up a whole bunch of water, had to break it all apart and repack it with grease! What a great trip!!!!

[Violentv8toy]

chevy cv.

the mud is ok, just stay out of the pooled water. just stay out of the pooled water. just stay out of the pooled water. And stay out of the pooled water.

but if you do venture into the water, go get a camera.

[Mud King]

So true, so true!

[bburris]

yeah...I think you know best about not putting your DD in the first hole you see out there...

:D

[redcagepatrol]

I wasted my rear driveshaft on that trip - ended up pulling Lynda home on the front driveshaft - with a strap - in the dark...

I hate mud, well not really, it's fun to play in, just not fun fixing everything afterwords.

Have fun, I think we will sit this one out and look at pics... :flipoff2:

[J Cooper]

well maybe - it was all going good till I fell in a huge underwater hole...
I bent the driveshaft on a rock somewhere - too much vibration over 40mph to drive home on

[uglyota]

[stinger7401]

Ok so its on!! $15 per vehicle once we get there. But all the info must be emailed to safety@tamor.org before you can go, this will be enforced so make sure he has your info. For new members you need to see the safety video before you can attend any trip, which there will be a showing tonight, tomorrow and Saturday if need be.

Is it 15$ even if were not gonna do anything, but watch people **** up their **** in the mud?

[Shaggy]

15$ to wheel per rig

[bburris]

I think they have a passenger fee, but if you're riding and your driver says they don't have a passenger then they don't have any way to track it. All they care about is whether or not you have their little ribbon tied to your vehicle while you're driving around.

[Jackasic]

BOOOOOOOOOOO.. theres cheap entertainment in that..

amen to that, those were some good times laughing at the noobs. i for one have donated 2 radiators to Alto.

What the heck, I down for another trip. See ya'll in the morning.

[BigRedFord04]

if theres another thread for this i'll find it shortly...i'm playing catch up...anyway....

WHERES THE CARNAGE??

that place cost me an entire cooling system: radiator, water pump, fan clutch, thermostat, antifreeze (water), and both hoses. that replacement fan clutch is the reason i absofrigginlutely hate fan clutches now.

aaron weldon also blew up his cooling system. yes, he was overrevving the engine to keep the A/C cold, and in the process the plastic fan broke off, destroyed the fan shroud, belt and sent all the pieces thru the radiator. yes, he ran off the road on the way back while driving that girls truck, towing his Z71 on a tow dolly. no damage to her truck with the exception of a bent bumper, fooked up the whole pass side of his truck from which he got a HUGE insurance claim with which he bought 4 solo-baric 18"s and amps to go along with 'em.

thats my story. oh yeah, btw....the pic tate posted, the hole that put me on 3 tires had just been driven thru by a scout...jackasic...props. i dont have proof b.c. i ran outta film, but it claimed him on the 2nd attempt. we drain a bunch of water outta his spark plug holes...but the bastard still drove home. :gigem:
