Is anyone actually riding?

In an effort to start another ignorant thread... that could be considered "general discussion"... is anybody actually riding anymore? I know a few on here who ride but most my friends who do ride arent on here. So where you riding at? Post pictures? Excuses welcome here also.

We ride Windrock (best park in the southeast :****:) every chance we get and manage to stumble to harlan and aop a few times a year.
We still ride but Rzrs only right now. Still looking for right rig
 
Like most folks I'm sure, I got a pm to post up so...

I lurk here more than anything. No crazy buggy or Jeep here, just a carb'd leaf sprung Blazer so no shock & awe like most of y'all. I haven't had my Blazer out of the shop, much less wheel, in over a year. The last year has been blessed and busy with good grown kid stuff, my wife retiring / starting a new career and me just working so I haven't had time to go wheeling anywhere.

I'm at the bottom of Ala so all the parks are 4+ hrs away which translates to vacation time to be anywhere long enough to have fun. There's a couple of mud parks (I don't mind it) opening close to me so hopefully I can get out some this summer and get a little riding in.
 
I still ride, never as much as i would like, but i still spend 60-70 hours in the shop per week. Don't do forums much anymore. Most social media activity is to promote my fab business. It really consumed a lot of time to try to update all the forums like I used to.

New CutlerFab buggy and a few others I've turned out in last couple years. View attachment 214091View attachment 214092
Glad to see a post from you here and enjoy seeing what all you've got going on via the Instalandgram.
 
We're just posers these days! ;) LOL!

My last trip out was to Hawk Pride. Broke a chromoly 8.8 shaft and it took out the Detroit. Have it back together but haven't been back out since.
 
Not riding anytime soon…unfortunately. Couple weeks ago I decided If I could find new tires/wheels I'd up my game so I pulled the trigger on new SX's and beadlocks. The supplier assured me they had what I ordered and I'd have my wheels in less than a week so I put my old setup on marketplace..yep.. sold in one day. Then like clockwork the wheel guy calls and says he screwed up and the delivery is pushed out..then out again..couple more phone calls back and forth and my orders is canceled and I'm missing the first two rides of the year.

I guess I could ride with the set of stock Superduty wheels and bald 255 radials I'm using to roll it around on now , fronts flipped backwards and running spacers to clear my steering arms makes it like 100" wide !
 
Still got the Unlimited and buggy.

Jeep has broke rear axle(tons ready to build)

And buggy has 2-3 year old stickies that been out twice!
 
Aaah good ol' hardline! I almost forgot about this place until Blackbeard sent an email today. I ain't been wheelin in my rig since September 2019 @ AOP. Between work, home life, snapping my achilles tendon in 2020, and getting into dirt bike enduro riding booyang the last few years I just have not made the time to go wheelin. I would fire up the ol' dirty white girl to stretch her legs from time to time until the fuel pump went bad and then it sat untouched for about a year. I finally cleaned out the gas tank and put a new walbro 255 in it this past fall then on Thanksgiving weekend a buddy of mine got stuck and stranded in his Cherokee on a local powerline trail so I went to rescue him... aaaand after the rescue... I blew up the 1UZ engine:****: So I put my spare engine on the stand and freshened it up over the winter. I got it put in the rig and fired up in March and the new camshaft seals (ebay Chinese junk) were pouring oil out and that pretty much killed all my motivation to get her back on the trails. Engine runs great though! Sooner than later Im going to disassemble all the timing components (again) and put Toyota cam seals back in it. A few of my buddies went to AOP this past weekend and seeing there pics and videos gave me "the itch" again :driving:I forgot about all the cool emojis hardline has also :ROFLMAO: :dblthumb:
 
Been trying to finish building this "little" ranger for an buddy. Once it's done I will be putting my Bronco II into shop for basically complete teardown and revamp. New motor, different trans, new doubler, gear change, and complete rewire
