GMP - Hardline Ride - August 19-21, 2016

I did walk out to find a band aid on my boo boo. :flipoff1: The second I saw the quality of the bandaid I knew who it was.
I need a dent wizard ASAP

Had a blast this weekend even with all the rain..really glad I brought my full doors, threw them on, flipped the back treps around for "dig mode" and rocked on.

GMP seems like a really cool park, I definitely want to go back for another weekend ride sometime. I'm kinda glad there wasn't a huge crowd, we logged a lot of miles this weekend. We had 2 successful shakedown runs (Bobby and Jackson's), both did really well.

McMinn tried to hang with the yota....tried...its ok bud, we all have our off days. ;)

Bobby Morris is the man. period. he learned how to "crawl" this weekend :dblthumb:

Jordan, buy a rig already..

John and Tim from Athens Driveline showed up, they still didn't bring me a t-shirt :gtfo:

John G, thanks for putting everything together!

Nick & Hal , thanks for cooking for us

Chuck, the new buggy looks great, I'm coming by the RV for my steak next time

I saw those 2 famous Hardline personalities: kushKrawlin and Pholmann , I asked them for autographs but they called me a peasant and walked off :dunno:

Enzo is the man for riding shotgun/navigating thumb.gif

Whoever ended up with my spare upper rad. hose, I want that sucker back!!! molaugh (inside joke)

Good to see the Tupelo, MS crew again and meet some new folks, Donnie's new buggy is nasty!!!

Don't ever try to follow Lee through tight woods trails, I felt like we were cone dodging.. I added some more "character" to the passenger side of the truck



here are some pics


















 
Thanks for everyone for coming out. I think we all had a great time. We saw the park at is slipperyest, then Saturday afternoon it was tacking up real nice. Real good times.

The Meet and Great Saturday night was a blast. Who thought hamburgers using lettace for buns could be a winner. But, just like a trail repair, we all made it. I saw Broady eating one that way and though, damn that ****er is on a low carb diet, than looked around and saw ten people eating it that way. I had mine on white bread, wherever that came from. If anyone feels they were out of pocket more than they should, let us know and we will get some $$$ headed your way. Real funny times later on. Need to know who "****"'s screen name is, I think he should be known as "****" in the future!!

Kevin, congrats on not turning your **** over, but it is hard to do when you are riding bitch!

Kush looked at me so funny when in the big rock area by the bridge, I stopped him and asked if I should take a picture while he had no body damage, how true that one became. I even put a bandaid on his boo boo.

I had one small issue I will have to address, I the big rock area, Mine sounded off like a rifle, followed by the sound of escaping air. Way too loud for a tire, and they all were round. Backed up and looked around it and found the PSC bellows on the front diff vent blown up. Guess the ARB is leaking air inside the housing and pressurizing it. Also caused the fluid to pressurize past the seals. That one was a pretty strange break for me, never heard of it.

I was fairly quiet about this ride because I really did not know if I was going to be able to make it. From my day of surgery, this ride was my goal to be back ready to ride. I pushed myself hard in physical therapy and even started radiation early, to see try and make it possile to reach my goal. I don't think anyone, except my wife, really knew just how important this ride was to me. I had a great time and rode a LOT more than I imagined I could. Thank you all for making my goal a reality.
 
Carnage. I guess I'm getting chromoly inners now. This time it deserved to break. I was bobby tannering that mofo on the moon trail. I gave it a thorough beat down trying to get up it in the pouring rain. It looks like my inner c is bent on the top. I gotta investigate this further. How the **** or what would cause that?

Oh, had a blast riding with Amanda the Optimist in the Sinful buggy. She was so much fun and a good sport. Her glass is always half full. It would not surprise me if she has unicorns and rainbows at her house. I am certain she kept the rain away from us for most of the time.
 
Ya they were good people. Spent several hours Friday night drinking with her and her ole man. What's his screen name? That sinful buggy is flashemifyougotem

Had that problem in my buggy once, exactly as you described. I had always been skeptical of running an ARB, for this reason. Once I opened the diff, the copper tube had fallen into the ring gear. I installed a spool before the next trip...3 wheel drive is no fun.
