I'll be going up on sunday with everyone else because I spent money on Ag Kickoff tickets so why waste 'em but I'd like to camp out. If anyone wants a ride sunday I have an open spot if you don't mind yellow labs. :D
I've got an open seat and will be leaving tonight with the 630 group if anyone wants to ride and pitch in a little for gas
I don't feel like camping in the rain and I'll also be really tired after work. I still need to bleed my brakes and clean the trash out of the bed today. I will be leaving from MCDs at 6am or so on sunday. Garret, if you want a ride just pitch in a spot of gas. Give me a call. My toyota passenger seat isn't open though just to let you know.

would love to go but i am broke and istill have to make my payment on my truck this month.
the trip was great.

Eric: Fenders and behind the doors
I also exploded a front u-joint and broke a shock mount and lost a coil

i wish i could have gone, i'm going to try my best to stop studying and get out next time.
awww it looks like had a good time...i wish i could have gone too.
I definitely had a kicka$$ time today, it was great to see some real wheelin' (thanks Creighton, I know your Jeep's thankin' you) :D , along with all the damage for others. I'm ready for the next trip... :gigem:
Looks like Creighton had a good showing, that poor TJ. That is reminiscent of Troy, popping springs out...
had a good time, i'll upload some vids of me attacking some **** in 2hi sometime.
ugly truck got a little uglier.
Awesome trip!
kickass trip ill get the vids and few pics i have up today when i get home from school.
this trip has also got me remotivated to hurry up and get my truck loose ends tied up and get it on the trail.
Talk about a bunch of bad influences on that trip...
Saturday night it was Creighton and Elise, then Mario shows up with his "put it in second, and let the clutch out"
Hey Creighton you missed an obstacle :D
that picture makes me feel like im having a seizureQuote:

that looks like a cool obstacle, where was it?
it was off to the left where clayton and I lost you guys for a few minutes. I had to get strapped out of it. My right fender was keeping me up
hey what would you guys think about proposing a work weekend to the park? Like we all go camp and wheel for free one weekend in exchange for picking up a bunch of trash or doing trail maintenance if they need it?
Since people are already complaining about being broke and gas being high and whatnot we might consider another trip there this semester
btw camping fee was $10 total for all of us, and only had to pay for one day of wheelin.
Good deal
yeah that spot was pretty cool. got a little hairy a couple of times
man i could have made it up that.
that sounds like a good idea, although I can't wheel until I get a new shaft
Elise and i had an awsome time... her favorite was the night wheeling... all of us that went sat night enjoyed it and i think alto should be a weekend trip from now on instead of a day trip
dude, why is the ass end of your chevy sagging so much?Quote:

I also have like 3 sets of leaf springs, an axle housing, and other assorted metal in the bed.
i've got some vids too.
Heres the link to my pics and vids, some pretty funny ones of mario attempting stuff in 2-hi

I dig this one

Heres a link straight to the vids.

My favorite one is when i was between two trees (thought i was in the good spot) where either you go left or right, so eric decides to go between them where im standing. Kinda went like "hmm...hes getting closer...which way is he gonna turn.....hmm....uh oh"
Then there is the full throttle up the hill. That was fun. If i knew it would kill the joint i wouldn't have done it and waited for the hillclimb where creighton lost his spring to up and trash it. Square shaft won't work too twisted, gonna go to 1/4" wall.
Did anyone get any vids of my dodge
Yup, I got your full climb on the hill that Mario attacked in 2wd.
i have it too... its good about 1:30 long. I have 3 more vids (the good ones) that won't upload
Alto was awesome. That is the most fun I have ever had offroading. There were some iffy moments, like when I got stuck in the major water/mud hole. Unfortuneltly my truck did show some damage later. Pushed in fog light. I also had problems on the way back. The truck was overheating, and vibrating. I could not figure out the overheat problem so its in the shop. Can anyone give me a lift to Rudy's for Wednesday's meeting. I live at the Callaway House.
Oh yeah, awesome job with the pics and videos guys.
