We ate inside, and I will concede that it's not the same, but still enjoyed it all the same. As a burger connoisseur, I will have to put the Duke into my top 5 and the restaurant as a definite return trip!

What night did you make it?

Rpf you should have came over to my trailer I brought my plasma just in case someone needed it. I don't know if it would have worked but it would have done something.

Damn Edward, you brought everything. Thanks for the winching. That side hill was aggravating to say the least. I love your buggy.

Had a good time, if only for a day. good to see some of you guys. Little irritated about the hi steer studs, but eddiehall just so happened to post knuckles for sale on here Friday night. Bad part was he's in Florida, good part is I have knuckles coming and will have spares. Thanks to all the guys who tried removing studs on their spare knuckle Friday night to get me going. Wished it would've worked out. On the way home Saturday morning, wife and I already talking about when we could go back and also to stoney for Kel to show us around there.

I'm ready for the next hardline ride thread to start!!

. I feel ya pain there brother! That last trail we was on got us both, I broke the pin off the steering arm. Sucks for sure, but still had a great weekend and was good to meet people.

Did anyone find a random strap and d-ring on the bottom of Viper? We had it out helping a feller winch out and forgot it there.

Also, if anyone has any good pictures of the Exploder, feel free to text them to me at 865-748-5260. Thanks!

What can I say about that ride ? Had a blast ? That's not even close...

The Hardline crowd is second to none, it was a real pleasure to meet all of you guys.

I want to thank particularly :

Kel for driving me around and spanking obstacles in his samurai, mash your motor style... or not :wtflol:

And for keeping the fire hot and running all night.
JCarter for showing us around and let me ride along on Maverik (Man, that was a hell of a rush ! :smoke

SteveO and TK and everyone who cooked... Ribs and soup are really foreign to me, but that **** is goooooooood !!!!
Eddyj for taking me up that hill everyone struggled on, 'cept you

And everyone in general as I felt really welcomed and a member of the group in no time.

Had a great time meeting you guys. Awesome park and plenty to do. I will be back for sure. I have your cord John I thought one of the guys got one of mine out. Send me your address and I will get it mailed back asap! Sorry for that, my fault. You guys sure know how to have fun. Next year I will plan a few more days. Jeff

My phone died just before the last few epic seconds. Mike was moving quick

Enzo, you are good people. I hope I didn't talk your ear off too much and I appreciated the perspective on your style wheeling. French Riviera backdrop at your offroad park is freaking cool. Thank you very much for assisting with the winching

If he is at a ride and you have an open seat, drag him along. He jumped in to take pictures, helped winch and like I said, he has perspective from a whole different side of the world. Enjoy the trip to Mexico and keep in touch.

Awesome, that's when I was calling my oldest boy back. He was really getting on it and I had to hang up.

Re:

Pretty sure we ran into that jeep and he was gonna lead us. Asked our buddy if our rigs were pretty capable, Jason told him we were and literally seconds later one broke carrier bearing mount and we missed out on getting to ride with him. Definately sounds like we need to look him up next time.

Mark Smith, the owner of HPO made this an easy event to manage. Loved having the park handling the registration. They sure worked some long hours in the checkin booth. This park has a lot of stuff, if you are stock or a bouncer. Really loved putting some names with faces.

Next ride we do, we need to have an event Friday or Saturday night. Like a meet and greet. Perhaps a raffle ticket with registration and get a vendor to offer up a nice prize. If there was a down side, I felt I did not get to meet as many Hardliners as I wanted.
