Title: THANKSGIVING RIDE - MORRIS MOUNTAIN - pictures, stories, lies and carnage
Post by: patman on November 26, 2021, 07:49:22 PM
A few pics. Barely took any this trip(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20211127/89e67ba47cdc4187a17cee2b6b3418f1.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20211127/ed574212bfc04a0eeb25e96289928bf9.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20211127/70add45c98b5ca38a84842cc4b4d6fff.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20211127/e3b085c0838cbf05ea7bd27a2e08365e.jpg)

Just a zig instead of zag on v notch. Bent my new light bar but it still works and broke the glass on my new side mirrors. There were so many people there it was back on 4 wheels as soon as I was out of it.

It’s been a few years since I’ve been to Morris. First time in the TJ.  Solid weekend, tried to remember to take a few more pics. Plenty of people out this weekend!

Here is my flop damage report. Just some touch up with a paint brush and sewing up a tear in the canvas roof (aka painters drop cloth).

Whats funny is that I kept getting the same question. "your shock is held in with self tapping screws?" And that's not what failed. It was the factory bolt welded to the shock mount bracket that sheared off.  Those are the strongest 1/4" self tapping screws in the world to hold up to the obvious beating the shock took.
I have shocks and all the parts to fix in the garage, including new mounts for the uni-body side, but Im realy wondering if they will be as strong as my screws ;)

This is the damage that hurts though.
We ended up on some trails that had not been cleared in a while. So trees blocked us everywhere.
All I can say is don't follow Travis. I figured if his buggy could get through the trees, then the xj could.
Soon as he was clear a new tree popped out from under his rig and the path was blocked.

The xj would not go through what looked like his rig had just planted in front of me and I slid into a different tree. I definitely have to say thank you to tony for pulling cable and standing on the new tree so I could keep moving(also letting me use his tools to take my boomerang shock off)

I love how this club jumps in and helps. Im happy to stay up all night holding flashlights so that trick head light fuel pump mods can be made. Because even though this is my 3rd ride, I feel like anyone would do it for me.

Thank you all for letting a true novice tag along. It was great fun and I learned that my truck is a better off roader then I am right now. Also I am thankful that when I got in over my head y'all hopped in and helped me think through the situation and lend me the advice that comes through experience to set me straight. Looking forward to going back out on the trails in the future.

Damn. That’s one clean twist off.

So nice that it didn’t get a yoke.

I only got to ride for about hour and a half following Scott around and then the transmission on my cousin's new to him TJ crapped out.  I had fun and was happy with all the changes since Harlan.

My youngest seemed to enjoy his first time out riding. He was super excited in the morning but I don’t think he really knew what to expect. I try to take it easy for him in hopes I wouldn’t scare him out of going again.

@Truckin222  I think the highlight of Jacob’s trip was hanging out with Ruby. He seemed to have more fun playing in the dirt with her than riding around on the trails.
