GATR RIDE 07/14/2011 HARLAN KY - PHOTOS AND RECAP

If I can get my experience level up this year I may join the ride next year. Looks like y'all
had a good time.

Not much is needed as long as you are willing to listen and trust your spotter. 1 guy had very little experience but did great in his JK.

Great advice right there.  {toast}

Also, bright *ss blue shirts make you look really cool on the trail!

Wow...this ride had it all...one of the better ones I think. I had to be out of town that week, look like allot of fun, really wishing I could have gone. Catch you all on the next one....

Blue fishing shirts are awesome! I think you may have started a new fad. But only if they keep me cool on the trail. If not, it's  8==D

BTW, I ended up with someone's yellow Energizer head light/flash light.  I'll trade it for my missing rave glow stick flash light.   ;D

Wow that worked out. I was cleaning out the Jeep the other day looking for my headlamp and all I could find was Seth's gay blue glowstick

Insert cricket chirp here.

I decided to leave because I didn't trust the engine to hold up through another day, and getting out from Lion's Den with a dead motor would bring the suck.  I also didn't sleep well either night, nor the 2 nights prior (and it was NOT Randy's snoring that was at fault  {boohoo}).

Anyway, I had some analysis done today and it looks like the ECM is fried, and probably some of the harness leads.  I think the best approach is to get a new ECM/harness/prom from Howell.  I also want it hooked up so that the fuel pump is controlled by the ECM rather than full time when the ignition switch is on.  I don't plan to go on any other rides until the engine's running properly.

Since I didn't try anything hard, I had almost no damage.  One off the pads for a front bump stop got knocked off, and the big tire patch  on a front tire started leaking.

Take that thing to SBC Offroad and you won't be "That Guy" anymore!!!! I've seen Scott build complete buggies from scratch and take them on a hard core trail rides and no problems the whole weekend. That Jeep is a very capable rig and just needs some good QUALITY service work and it sounds like you ain't getting it!
