Nice... Keep 'em coming!
Also have video of that INSANE hill that tried to roll the bronco :flipoff2:
Cool run. That 3:30 meeting time reminded me that we use to meet at McDs at 6:30AM (and hit the road sharply at 7AM) to make our day runs to Ft. Hood and back. Long days!
Ya Dave, but that is back when this used to be a wheeling club.Quote:

Yeah one of my plans over the summer is to confer with the other officers and get some runs to various parks together with dates set ahead of time. It's great to be able to say hey, let's go wheel this weekend, but by the same token it's nice to be able to plan around a run rather than the other way around. I think runs to 47, Alto, Canyons, Katemcy, and maybe Bridgeport would be cool. And maybe even something really new like Hot Springs, Arkansas or some of the other places in West Texas.Quote:

Agree with the others, 47 is a cool place. Unfortunately, I got a little too confident with that huge hill in my stock cruiser. Made it up to the very top where it got even steeper and lost traction, most likely due to my crappy tires. Reversed back down and didn't readjust myself well enough for my lack of approach angle in the rear (aka big a$$). Ended up tearing off a rear mudflap, which jacked up my rear fender flare, and bending up my exhaust. Wanted to keep wheeling, but the rear half my exhaust/resonator was dragging in the dirt and didn't want to **** it up anymore. I also got a CEL from the bent exhaust kinking the flow. Limped it home and cut it off before the kink. I'm going to see if I can't bend it back and then just have a random shop weld it back together. I'm going to trim the rear flaps so hopefully they won't get ripped off be me running over them again.
Overall fun place, I'd like to go back, and it being so close is a huge plus. I also definitely need to start modding my rig, not being able to hang with JK's is just sad :flipoff2::flipoff2::flipoff2:

At the end of the day, nobody could hang with the JK's!!! :flipoff2:Quote:

I can totally vouch for that me and two friends made a week trip to hot springs staying 3 days at superlift and 3 days at the lake. Superlift park is BADASS and I was able to do almost all the trails. they have great places to tent and park RV's and stuff like that tooQuote:

problem solved, back to wheeling
maybe if you had more than 3 bolts holding the top on that wouldnt be an issue
Well that's probably a good thing, if had had more then it wouldn't have moved and it would be ****ed more than it is.
here are the best of the pics I took, the rest are on my facebook if you want to see the others. btw I compiled all of our pics in my facebook album.

I think Rustys could fix your exhaust for about $50.
Ft. Hood is closed now. It was about 1:45 away. About like Alto.
This run looks like it was a great time. Need more of those runs.
Agreed!Quote:

Not really. Mine was fully bolted down, for a long time, with alot of offroad miles, and never a problem.Quote:
