Title: Looks like I had more fun then ya'll did...
Post by: Ben H. on February 22, 2009, 07:11:13 PM
Because I went to Windrock yesterday. Met up with another guy from school who has a 04 WJ on a 2" lift and 31"s, a guy in a 94 ZJ that has been buggified and on 40"s, one of the guys from the TV show "Trucks!" and their ZJ on 35"s, and then a bunch of Yotas. I think I probably took the most damage of all the guys. Started off with a broken idler pulley before I even left Knoxville, hi-lift put a nice dent in one of my doors, limb tore off my roof rack, and somehow my driver side mirror got a crack in it. But still all in all a good day.

Nice! I need to come up there some day and check it out. Sounds like a lot of carnage, haha.

Cool Pics Ben!  Sorry to hear about all of the carnage.  Is the zj going to last you until you get done with school?

I'll get some pics of the damage, but its nothing horrible, it just kept happening.

And Seth, yes the ZJ should last me through school. I'm fairly certain I will be getting a new daily driver in May 2010 so I will just have to make it until then. Also, most of the damage I have incurred so far has all been cosmetic (knock on wood) and nothing major mechanical.

Yea! Now I don't have to drive 3+ hours to go somewhere to ride with ya'll (unless it's during the summer in which case I might be at home and would still have to drive 3+ hours).

river rock would only be around 2 hours from powder springs.

I've looked at it. It is 3 hours from Powder Springs, plus another 3 hours from Knoxville. So, if I were to go during school, it would be 3 hours Friday night, 3 hours Saturday morning, 10 or so hours riding around in the Jeep, 3 hours Saturday evening, and 3 hours on Sunday. That is waaaaaaaaaaaay too much driving and gas in one weekend plus $50 for the riding fee.

im telling you it is not 3 hours. i grew up in roswell and roswell to milledgeville is 1 hr 45 min. so from powder springs MAYBE 2hr15min. dont trust mapquest trip times...they think you go below the posted speed limit.

Ok, that is 2 hours total knocked off. That is still 10+ hours of driving in one weekend not including time spent in the Jeep on the trails. Way too much for me.
