Title: Burris Valley recon ride - Rugged Mountain Ranch - PIC HEAVY
Post by: patman on June 11, 2021, 11:45:05 PM
Took a quick trip to Oklahoma to check out Rugged Mountain Ranch after seeing it featured in the 24 Hell and Back YouTube series. A little hot, but this place is epic. 36 named trails, and 24 of them are labeled as "buggy". I would not drive out here without stickies and built axles. The rocks are huge and the ledges are even bigger, and the water depth is over the tires in some places on the Tacket Creek trail (the trail featured in the  24 Hell and Back video, and the scene of an annual timed race)

Edit- it will be pic-heavy, after I get back to civilization. There is no cell service, and our lodge wifi is slow(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20210612/29cd666a9b3e33fac8dab8f809b60010.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20210612/0f906f5bf636243150afad3862986545.jpg)

This place is awesome, and I will be going back for round two at some point. If you're wondering where my buggy is, it was on the trailer at camp. Never got it backed off after it started dumping trans fluid on the trailer on initial startup Wednesday morning. The closest town is 1 hour away, and a new seal (my seal was new two days before the trip) was 24 hours out, and there's no guarantee the new seal would be different than the seal I already had that wasn't doing the job. I decided to take pics and be a passenger instead of losing a whole day for something that wasn't a sure shot.

I hoped for nice dry heat since we were out "west" but it turned out to be more hot and humid than GA. The park was empty accept for 6 other vehicles, and go figure 2 of them were people I knew from GA. The wheeling world seems small sometimes haha.

Real bad lol. We all also found our cooling system limits, and clark needs a sponsor for hydro lines.

In all seriousness, this place will find your rigs weakness in a heartbeat. There are "bypasses" in most places but even the access trails wouldnt be kind to anything under 37s IMO. Saturdays trail was balls out no bypasses and very steep and off camber. You need proven axles, good cooling, big sticky tires, knowledge of recoveries and repairs, and lots of patience for this place. Correct me if im wrong, but we were in Tackett Creek for close to 13 hrs, we stopped alot and had some repairs to make, but bring a lunch and plenty of water.

I will never, ever go back in the summer months, conditions were great, but the heat was almost unbearable. On top of that you had to watch every step, we saw multiple poisonous snakes and even a damn tarantula. Its the wild west still out there and you are 2hrs from the nearest hospital probably.

I almost forgot that Wes had to winch with sticky 42s on the camp access trail Thursday evening when we went back early to look at my buggy and move some meat to the fridge.

From what I recall:
Tony- overheated/fan relay issues
Justin- overheated
Wes- front locker and hub issue
Clark- 2 hydro line repairs at the pump
Pat- transmission seal failure (guessing)

The nearest town is 1 hour away, and if they don't have a part then OK City is 3 hours one way.

I also had a brake caliper fall off on the way back to camp Thursday.  You were winching Wes when that happened.  I hate the Kingpin Caliper set up.  I lost the slide and spring from the bottom, no idea how that happened.  Had a spare so was able to fix it.

That list of issues sounds like a lot, but honestly, I was real impressed with how we were able to hold up...that park was amazing but also brutal.

I will go back, but it will need to be spring or fall.

Just pick the best pics from this ride and put them in the calendar. Amazing stuff. When I bob and dovetail my JKU with 43” sx’s (after winning the lottery) I’ll join y’all for a trip there.

I also have a starter signaling issue, and one of my amps fell off the mounting surface, but kept working. 

Justin nailed the requirements and expectations.  Ticks were everpresent.

Lifeflight was mentioned on the bulletin board in the kitchen.

This place definitely looks freaking epic. That pic of Clark standing on top of the water is the best. @8lugLJ how did the cooler hold up in the heat? I still want one of these pretty bad.

well worth it, we all put the lunches in it to keep water out, ice never lasted to whole day.
