So, where are all the pics from the weekend? Let the viewing begin! Come on...
I didn't bring a camera, so I'll contribute some random observations from the weekend.
Hickey's rig works great (was this the first outing?), and you can hear it coming from WAAAAAY down the canyon!
Shawn can break Detroits, and really knows how to rip the crap out of a soft top.
Creighton WILL roll over if he is left unsupervised for even a moment.
Chris Holley, and Carl Nielson have the two best working carburators ever.
If you accidently hit reverse half way up a vertical climb you can quickly turn a successful climb into an endover roll, unless you're quick with the throttle.
Sheared off motor mount bolts can be removed from an engine block with a leatherman.
Everyone in the world (well, almost) has a Dodge Cummins tow rig.
A dana 35 can traverse Upper Helldorado without breaking.
Less than a month after the closure of Lower Helldorado, some geniuses will throw Bud Light and Mt Dew cans ALL OVER Upper Helldorado. You know who you are (and so do I)... When Upper is closed too you can take some credit personally, and everyone can come thank you.
Blair's dad sounds EXACTLY like Bart Jacobs. It's really uncanny.
Winch rope is cool, and everyone should be using it. I take back all the bad stuff I said about it in the past.

That was a sweet one to watch. He wasn't wearing a seatbelt either.SAMI said:

Why? Your cage held the roof in place. Or are you talking about the other roll you had?GETBENT said:

HUH? Your cab is FAAAAR from crushing in enough to make this post make any sense. Did you have a cage in that thing? If you truly beleive that not wearing a seatbelt saved you, then you have not spent nearly enough time on the trail. I have ZERO doubt in my mind that wearing my seatbelt has saved my life several (at least!) times since I've been wheeling. Roll that rig a few (dozen) more times and you will either know that seatbelts save lives, or you will be dead. Such a good first post too... Sad...

It's really too bad that no one filmed your roll. It was VERY exciting, and although unfortunate, that kind of excitement needs to be captured.GETBENT said:
