A great day to ride. Thanks to Ben/Krawler for a great lead as always! It's a shame Adam doesn't get out more as that Rubi crawls! Rockinwrangler and his Dad, Clyde did awesome. A 2" budget lift and ARB's, and go everywhere! Enjoyed meeting you guys.

Thanks Ben for a great day.. It was a pleasure meeting all the guys. Like I said, "it is nice to meet other people who like the same things you do". I would probably have turned around on some of the trails we did today if it wasn't for you guys. I did lose a side step on the ole BB but like I said that will be a good reason to purchase some rocker guards... hahaha...
Thanks Doug for your encouraging words today. Hope everything goes well with your locker.
Thanks to Adam and Scott for all the photos. This is the first ride I have ever had any pictures taken of my jeep doing what it is designed to do.
As any one can tell by reading this post, WE HAD A AWESOME DAY"""

Yep, that's Clyde. Spends 3 months a year at Moab in the motor home, so I hope to see him there Easter. Sounds like he knows everybody out there.

I am back. Had an awesome trip and the ride was almost perfect other than Dougs issues. Dang! I had an awesome time spottin you guys too! I love to help but I never get any pics of me doin anything when I lead! :( Oh well! It was great to meet Mike and Clyde! Another great addition to GATR! The weather was perfect and the scenery was awesome! I think in another 2 weeks tops, the leaves will be peak up there. I tell you the bus has changed again. I have NEVER had to work the second set of ledges but this time I had to work it a bit harder. It changes all the time. Can't wait till the 7th to see everyone out again! I will get my picks up soon and post the link. Awesome trip guys! Doug, what is the status??? Do you have a new dog too? ;D

Hey Jeremy, The winch has always done a great job. I have used it about 3 times around home in the mud and I used it once at Beasly in Blairsville. The only issue I have ever had is that it is sometimes hard to free spool. I removed to cover and greased the gears really good. I ocassionally unspool by hooking to a tree and freeing everything up. Other than that it is plenty strong. I hope it gets better with age and use...
Thanks.
Rock

Hey who's in the tan Rubi? Is that Rockinwrangler's dad?
Hey Will,
Dad does pretty good for being 70 yrs old. He has definitely taught me alot about wheeling over the years..
Hope to meet you some someday in person also..
Mike

He can wheel! Best part is he has no fear of pullin cable! That man has seen alot of wheelin and knows that pullin cable saves parts! Ready for the next run guys!

That is a definite Ben, he always tells me it is better to winch that to brake something.. Sometimes pride can cost.
By the way, when did you say the next trip to telico was, Dad is interested. Also, don't forget to pick up my plastic step up on 12. I plan on ordering the rockers tomorrow... I am thinking about A-z's or rock hard's like dad's..
thanks again,
Mike...

Haha yeah it was pretty tough! Ask Ben and Daniel about pulling my winch line. It was some hard stuff sometimes but it never did seem to get easier even when I went with synthetic rope... Hope yours gets better.

I want to but my jeep is about 50 pieces right now. I don't think it will be done till Nov 8. But even then I will need to do a shake down run close to home to work any bugs before I make a long haul.

Come on Larry!!! You can get that thing back together!!!
