Had a little damage to front drive shaft....
but bigger promblem was I had oil pouring ....
my builder had a skid plate made on the oil pan.
Oil was ouring off the skid plate so I couldn't tell
where it was coming from. Went ahead and loaded
up and headed home. Got home at 8:20 pm.

The part that sucked were the swarms of lady bugs and yellow jackets. Kevin was the first to get stung and heard someone else got stung twice. It was a bitch packing up trying not bring back a 100 lady bugs inside the Jeep.

I swear there were 1000 ladybugs on the inside of the bus. Luckily, they were all on the ceiling & gone by bedtime.
The kids & I had a blast. The trails were slick but lots of skinny pedal took care of that.
I appreciate Jason leading our group.
I was nice to see some new members.

Darn!
I didn’t see the options for the cut-out , non white background decals like that. Looks great . Can’t believe y’all cleaned up your rigs so fast !
What a great time.
Our group that @Chris36l lead ( like a champion , btw. Dude can drive! ) hit med / intermediate trails (11,7,90,91,92,93,25&35 iirc) and nailed them all day long. My stupid self left the SD card for my GoPro at home and only got boring dash shots of Sam @Grass Janitor and @jinxproof1996 rears from the dash //:'(//
The trails we hit were just great and I am so glad I met y’all.
Daughter and I had a blast and can’t stop yapping about it.
Here’s a pano of the campsite. Ladybugville.
I got a vid of Sam and a friend we met and took down a few trails but unfortunately no other images = bummer cuz as I said, we four in my group boogied down on the spots @Chris36l took us down.

here’s Sam ( @Grass Janitor ) comin off a very offcamber spot on 91 ( watch the pickup friend’s lean after Sam, heh) but sorry for the horrible filming by yours truly

somebody else may have snagged video or images of the four of us cause there was some impressive driving by Chris + rest of us with the conditions of the trails

I fixed it @Anvilsam . VERY sorry and noob mistake/assumption .
I wondered why a silver Jeep would go by ‘Anvil’ . I did mention I’m simply the worst with names !
edit: it was Sam @Grass Janitor that I , of course, mucked his nickname up, heh.
Conditions were actually not as bad as they looked. Traction still available from leaves and rocks when necessary.

The Google is stong
Why They Do It. Known as cluster-hibernators, ladybugs swarm because they're looking for a warm place to hibernate for winter. When one of them finds a suitable place to spend the winter, it releases a pheromone that attracts a couple gazillion more of them.

Dinner Friday night turned out great with @BigMike bringing out some pork that rivaled @tcdawg 's...I could see a pork off on a future ride, no shortage of judges. The chili soup actually thickend up enough to make a very good chili. Thanks Karl @jinxproof1996 for getting the rice and cheese and for everyone else that I am probably forgetting.
I had a great time.
We'll except for getting stung and having to pop my Epi pen, right after lunch on Saturday. Thankfully Jody's wife, Amanda, and Marie, played nurse on Saturday and really helped make sure I was ok. I really appreciate it. That took a lot out of me. I probably should have stayed and took a nap but I bailed Saturday night amidst the SWARM. It really needs to cool off.
I made the mistake on Sunday of washing my hand in hot water and the poison's swelled back up.
Carnage wise I put a small dent in my new slider fascia on the driver side at the back door. I'm glad it happened on the George Winter Trail. On the passenger side of the fascia the paint is bubbling loose, in the same location. Maybe oil on the fascia when it was painted. I don't know. There's no primer so I will probably touch it up with some gray primer and after I really scar them up I'll have them sandblasted and repainted. They are a pretty accent, but they are sacrificial. They also hold a lot of mud!
Leading is tedious when you don't know where you are going but we managed. We rode Blues and Greens. It was actually easier in the morning. I thought the afternoon would dry out but the water must have had more time to drain down because it got slicker.
Lockers are the Bomb //ROCKIN//
Trail 12 into 10 was probably the biggest pucker moment droppin' into that single rut after the narrow passage between those 2 boulders. And then slip sliding sideways and having to drive out of the slide to avoid the tree. That was a bit hairy. Those boulders got a hold of @4X4KING and gave him a love tap into his new antenna mount and body at the passenger rear corner.
Big Thanks to @Trailabite for spotting me and for pulling line and the encouragement. My winch was put to use this weekend and it served me and the @4X4KING well. From what I heard everybody pulled cable at some point.
I posted a few photo's and a bad video to the GATR Facebook page.
I cleaned the Jeep Sunday morning and dropped it back off at Allsouth. The Caster has it steering like an old F100 (Wonky between 10 and 2) on the road and the vibration is still present.

Killer weekend!!!! Seemed like it was easier driving Friday during the torrential downpour. My buddy's that came out with me had a blast, looks like one is going to join the group and start riding on a regular basis( he's been riding for years, just steered away from clubs because of drama, seems like he really clicked well with everyone this weekend)
Kudos to Karl, Sam, and Jeff. Great job guys!!! That was probably some of the toughest wheeling I've done with the group and looks like we came out semi unscathed. Great additions to the group. You guys can really drive!!! There were several spots I didn't think we would make up without pulling line, but I was proven wrong.
I did flop on Friday night during a night ride trying to follow a guy on tons. No body damage, just an asshole pucker for about an hour until they got me put back on all fours. One of my buddy's got tons of video and pics, after he sifts through everything I'll post up what he's got.
Another successful weekend!!!!

Here are my pics. Wet Friday (VERY!), but Saturday was much better and the wheeling was still very good. Challenge level definitely was up a notch or two due to the mud/water.

I had a blast as well, was afraid the wet conditions would suck but Chris did a great job starting us off easy and finding some tougher trails after lunch. Great meeting everyone. I’ll definitely be back for more.

Had a great time out at AOP this past weekend. Despite the weather we got some good riding in. we had good groups both Friday and Saturday. We even did some good obstacles in the down pour on Friday. Some ledges became actual waterfall obstacles to climb.
Thanks to everyone that helped out during the winchfest. We had a mini winchfest on a short new black trail before lunch and then of course after lunch was trail 47. 47 has gotten even more dugout than before. I don't know if I could even make the big ledge anymore when it's dry.
@Danny Kinder showed the perfect use for those 42 Treps, they were killing it on trail 47 (the heavy throttle and momentum might have helped as well).
Carnage for me was my Artec ram mount on the front axle. It took one too many hits and decided to fold upward. Also, a different seam on my RCI fuel cell got a hairline crack in it.

Well, thank goodness you have a spare, double welded tank.
Any thoughts about how to make a better Artec mouse trap? I'm sure it'll be mine doing the same thing eventually.

Killer weekend!!!! Seemed like it was easier driving Friday during the torrential downpour. My buddy's that came out with me had a blast, looks like one is going to join the group and start riding on a regular basis( he's been riding for years, just steered away from clubs because of drama, seems like he really clicked well with everyone this weekend)
Kudos to Karl, Sam, and Jeff. Great job guys!!! That was probably some of the toughest wheeling I've done with the group and looks like we came out semi unscathed. Great additions to the group. You guys can really drive!!! There were several spots I didn't think we would make up without pulling line, but I was proven wrong.
I did flop on Friday night during a night ride trying to follow a guy on tons. No body damage, just an asshole pucker for about an hour until they got me put back on all fours. One of my buddy's got tons of video and pics, after he sifts through everything I'll post up what he's got.
Another successful weekend!!!!

Allow me to underline that statement about this being some of the toughest wheeling Chris has done with the group but alter it to include - for me - this being my INTRO ride with the group as well as that , lol.
@Chris36l was our FEARLESS leader all Saturday ( after his flop the nite before ,mind you ) as @Grass Janitor mentioned, easing us into progressively harder trails ( “f this rock!”) . Watched him literally take on each trail ,note it’s number & then completely slay each one and THEN spot each of us like a pro.
This guy open / open wheeled some of the wisest lines and hardest things I’ve ever seen a JKU take on at AOP & maybe anywhere. I’ve wheeled a lot but always alone ; this initial wheeling with the GATR was possibly one of the most awesome times I’ve had with my rig. At risk of sounding insincere, it truly was due in part to the fact that the other guys I was with were just wheeling the h*ll outta their Jeeps this day. Flat out good driving. All of our party was dropjawed at least once on each trail we hit,amazed at getting each other thru stuff ,working together, getting each other’s backs and just plain having fun.
Lotsa fun.
Thanks, Chris , Karl, Sam ,Rhett ( get that red rubi ready , dude!) and the buddies that came with each.
I’m still grinning .
Oh, of course I forgot my GoPro SD card. I do hope some pix were gotten so I don’t sound like I’m making this stuff up.
The only vid my daughter got is below.
( damage report : likely bent flange on rear 44 housing..slow leaked Amsoil 75w-140 all way to nashville ...
+ my skid plates won’t speak to me . Dunno why.
my daughter - also still grinning - got 1 vid of her old man ...

can’t wait for next ride. I can’t thank @tcdawg enough for connecting me to GATR. Confidence and good camaraderie from rolling in as a new guy at the rider meeting till roasting ladybugs around the bonfire later that night. ;p
Thanks all.

Just throwing this out there Chris .... rock bouncing like that on stock axles could easily result in bent tubes. Be careful!

^X2 You can say that again.
I can only dream of what that ride woulda been like had we not been slippin&slidin all day.
& @Big Dave , tell me about the risks of pretending you’re Tim Cameron but ya really only run tiny , D44 OEM axle housing ; I’m pretty sure I know the reason I’ve got gear oil slow leakin out and onto both rear wheels after this trip.
Is it possible to damage BOTH L&R races ,seals or bearings ( still gotta take off wheels and diag) on prepressed 4340 revolution rear shafts ?
Seems like it...
//no//

That big slab of square rock you can see in the video image of @Grass Janitor video is the one that ate a pizza crust sized section right off the rim guard of my cheapo rear drvr wheel,heh.
I wanna go back when totally dry. Hopefully , CfR will be dry this year.

replacements for my rear 4340 chromo axleshafts that were both bent on the above-pictured trails arrived at my house today.
The actual shafts, not the flanges, bent on both;I shipped 'em back that week after the trip , included run-out measurements I collected and no further conversations were required. USA made Revolution Gear & Axle products are awesome + they back 'em. //SLAMIN//
