March 26-28 AOP Ride For Reid - Pictures, stories, lie's and carnage

[ILOVEDIRT]

@ILOVEDIRT  and @Truckin222

Drew and Zach- I had seen you out at rides before but it was great to get to meet and ride with you guys. I will be bring my boys (4&6) on some rides in the future.

Thanks for leading us on some good trail riding Saturday and that biscuit was awesome.  Alexander will look forward for some more camping friends.  Even though this weekend didn’t count as camping for him since we did not have a fire.....

I think I was the only one with any real carnage. Had to go back to camp for some coolant and work a bubble through the system (I'm assuming it happened when I bypassed the heater core. I've driven it since but probably not long enough). Got that sorted out and was running normally when I somehow killed the power steering pump (I assume, no steering unless I'm really on the gas or already rolling) on 93. Damn pump is practically new - only has 3 rides on it and had zero issues at Morris.

Also was having some starting/running issues with the motor. Dropped it off with Tyler on the way home to have them take a look at it. A little disappointed with Vengeance as I brought it up with them when I was there 2 weeks ago and he assured me there wasn't anything out of the ordinary with the way it was running and the fact it took 3 tries almost every time to get it started.

Had a great time.  Some wheeling Saturday and lots of time with my kid playing in all the mud he could find.  Got pictures I can try to post one at a time. 

Watching him play in the mud puddles was epic.  What a kid!

I didn't take any reel wheeling pictures.

Friday was a great day, the weather was super nice and the trail conditions blew me away.  I'm with Scott, got a little sun burn on Friday.  We hit some fun stuff Friday and had a great time.

I didn't wheel Saturday at all(I was at the front office working), other than to run Tmac up to his jeep on some trail....it decided to take a nap at Midnight Friday night.  Haha 

Overall, a great weekend.

I was good seeing the Wiilis in person. I wish i could have ridden with yall. Seems like we where always in the woods at the same time. It was some nice riding weather Friday and Saturday morning till after lunch. I did end up breaking early Saturday afternoon. Broke a front axle and that race car is about as useless in 3 wheel drive as socks on a rooster. I was told someone got hurt that weekend. Are there any details?

Wes Kean got hurt in a SxS race (not at AOP). That's all I know of. TC and I were at the front office all day saturday so we would have heard if someone got hurt at AOP

Sock on a rooster 😂.   Nice getting to talk with you and check out the 4400 car!

Ruby & I had a great time.
Thanks Scott and Rob for leading us around.

Big thanks to Drew for helping me during my cluster F loading up in the rain...
Derp.

I was surprised Friday and Saturday how good the trails were.
I got a couple pics I'll try to upload...

We are both looking forward to the next rides.

Did Scott in the white 2 door JK make it home in front wheel drive?

Yes he made it. Took a looong time but apparently he made it in once piece

[Truckin222]

Glad he made it home.
That front diff sounded crunchy when he was driving it around camp.
