Sunny and dry! Wish I could have made it
Get dirty, or get off the trail!

It’s nice. Warm and dry. A little dusty. No one here but us basically. Hit several trails and no carnage from our group yet, a guy that jumped in with us broke his rear DS.

Great couple of days of trail riding but unfortunately not without some carnage.

@jesseshoots - tore a front brake line. We were able to crimp it for him to try to limp to a parts store

@Big Dave had some overheating issues. Had to call it a day earlier than he wanted

@Grass Janitor chewed up his driveshafts. Limping home right now

 Conditions were great - bone dry and nice and cool last night for camping

Dave and I made it up playground, I made it up boat ramp

Thanks Sam for the Videos!

Went to climb up Hells Revenge & quickly discovered it was in 4 wheel high.
Got it in 4 low & crawled about 1/2 way before my son said it was pouring out fluid.
I figured a stick got the radiator.
Pull to a level spot & saw it pouring out of the cap & overflow bottle.
Found out the e fan stopped working & I think mechanical fan is shot too.
Sat there for about a hour waiting for the engine cool off. Then we filled the radiator (it was empty) with some nasty ass water & drove back to camp just fine.
Loaded up & came home.
Still had a blast.

Big thanks to Rob for spotting me on Playground & taking us up Teepee.

That sucks @Grass Janitor tore up his drive shafts. When did that happen?

Upon further inspection it looks like the tire clipped the hard line on the frame and caused it to give way. I’m gonna adjust my steering stops to make sure this doesn’t happen again. FYI, TJ proportioning valve threads for front lines is 3/8”-24



I’ve got a video of you getting up the first part of Boat Ramp @TravisMac. I’ll post it up in a bit.

Glad you got it home! Did our crimp hold or did you go buy a bolt?

The crimp held to get me to Lowe’s at 21 and 431. I went in and bought a bolt just to be safe
