Drink plenty of beer tonight to dry you out and then nothing in the morning.

Jerry and kolpecker - Looks like we might get on the road sooner than 8:00. I'm thinking that we can be on the road by 7:15 putting us in the Woodlands at 7:45 or so.

We'll have everything ready to go, so we just have to drop off Jake at daycare (we typically drop him off around 6:40am) and head out.

Great TAMOR trip? The GREATEST TAMOR trip? Carnage all around, roman candles, non wheeling realted suburban damage, the butcher, fullsizes going places fullsizes shouldn't go and destroying everything, Hummer tires being raped on trailers......plenty of stories for sure.... I had a great time.

We had a huge turnout. Did anyone get a final rig count? 25 or so?

Great trip! Tons of breakage.

I dont know whether brian colman or I suffered the most body damage.

Klogger report: Klogger ran as well as could be expected both days. Saturday evening I took the front driver's wheel bearing apart, to find the lock nuts had loosened. Tightened, no further issues. Saturday I lost the "park" feature, but still had reverse, neutral, and drive. The linkage boofed up. Also found the frame is pretty twisted where the TTB radius arm's mount. I mean bad twisted, almost as though someone has repeatedly jumped it at speed.....

Funniest part of the entire weekend. Driving home, Luis, Doug, Jerry, and BDR are in the car. BDR is asleep. We all whisper that on the count of 3 we are going to yell and I will slam on the brakes. 1, 2, 3 - yell. The look on BDR's face was priceless, his arms were flying around looking for something to hold on to and I think he is still cleaning the crap out of his pants.

The Bronco is fooked, or maybe its not....I got plenty of opinions but I really did not want to tear it all apart in the parking lot. Not really sure on where to start to figure out what its damaged.

Thanks to everyone that helped me out. BDR, Ed, Cory, St John, Creighton and everyone else that helped get it off the trail. Big thanks to Brian and Scott and Lynda for letting me ride along on Saturday too. I had a blast.

Jimmy, PM me this week and let me know about the window. Again, really sorry.

uh, what?

So we are back, had an absolute blast. The buggy suffered no breakage and the doors held up. I need to do something about my erratic winch though...

I am glad everyone was able to make it - the shear size of if makes this trip one for the history books.

p.s. I still want a shirt

[robertf03]

we need to have a winch rebuild day in the spring

[redcagepatrol]

Good times were had by all

Patrol report:
Broken rear Ring and Pinion
lost tree saver
winch cable pulled all the way out

Lynda Jeep report (Eduardo):
a few little scraps

Here are my pics - I've attached some teasers... Didn't take too many pictures, too busy driving and having a good time!

John and Jerry - no problem, we enjoyed it

Good stuff. Thanks to JB, DavidO, and the Schubrings for the seats. JB sorry I wasn't of more help, just looked like you had plenty of capable hands. I tried to take lots of mental notes all weekend on what worked.
