Title: September 16 - 18: GATRFest 2022 @ AOP - Pictures, videos, lies and carnage
Post by: Trailabite on September 18, 2022, 03:49:19 PM
Perfect weather for the weekend. As Clark said in another post, it was great to meeting new people and seeing g some old faces. Thanks to everyone the food and Brian thank you for the margaritas and country concert.

We had a group of 6 jeeps in the 37" under group and it was a blast.

I did not get a single picture or and videos. I was to busy lol. I did however end up with a little damage from trail 94 trying to squeeze between a rock and a hard place. Broke off passenger tail light assembly and bent both upper door body hinges.

I had a great time! Busted a steering box ( again) on Friday,  replaced it sat morning before wheeling with 37 and under group .  Popped a rear spring out on another trail, that was scetchy getting it back in.  Following Chucks lead on trail 94, I couldn’t get skinny enough. Ripped off passenger mirror, door handle and dented the door in.  Still had a blast and was able to drive it 3 hours home.
  Invited a friend up that had never been offroad before. By sat night he was hooked and is ready to get a Jeep .
Weather was perfect, fire was hot and margaritas were on point!
Absolutely, cannot beat a guitar around a campfire!

When the bearings turned to dust it just comes off

Hi lift was straight up and down when we started, we also had two other jacks under it. Spring was wedged against tire so me hat to take off wheel.
  Even after the time it took  to replace steering box, then spring.  We still wheeled for several hours.
Everybody just jumped in and helped .  Couldn’t ask for  better group to wheel and hang out with! Group pic on top of George Winter trail.

@8lugLJ flippin Crawler Hauler for the win! Do you have a shower setup yet? That would be killer after a dusty ride.

No shower, not goin to do one. No point when most of the parks we ride have showers or we someone in the group is in a cabin. Just too much bs to fool with additional tanks and interior space, maybe a different trailer and and different life.

Enjoyed our group Saturday, nice amount of rigs and everyone had fun. Dinner was excellent, thanks to everyone for pitching in. Sorry we had to bolt, would’ve loved some campfire time.

Had been a while since I’ve been to AOP, forgot how awesome it is for the 33-37” crowd especially when dry. Lots of great moderate trails.  Couldn’t believe what GWT has become, that one is off the list until 40”+ tires magically appear on my JK. Didn’t get many pictures, have a couple vids of John’s buggy I’ll see about uploading.

I missed that one.  He is trailering it now, doesn’t have to worry about driving it home anymore.
