Chris doing some improv fender trimming

Waiting for Mike

Chris on some rocks

Wicked buggy that came

Mike on rock pile

Mike battling rock

Mike coming off rock pile...Mike:1, rockpile:0

Chris and Iceman doing more spur of the moment fender trimming

Group poser shot minus mike...his truck was being fickle

Headed out after that
Followed Mike as far as I could and good thing too cuz his truck decided to quite right as I was about to leave...talk about luck.*

All in all the detroit did great, my clutch not so much until after chris figured out why and helped with a trail fix, otherwise the truck did great.*

So did you make it home, or did you have to get a tow?

It looks like everyone was having fun.

After 7 years with no wheeling, I finally got that itch scratched.
Now I am motivated to fix one of my not so many vehicles so I can really do some wheeling.

So did you make it home, or did you have to get a tow?

Made it half way, had to baby it to get it that far.
Died in an intersection.
Towed the rest of the way home.

Alternator is a goner...

Died in an intersection.

quite an interesting experience
got to test out pit team like towing skillz and got it off to the side.

It has been a blast getting to actually use it more that just watching it sit.

[NorCal_Chris]

[1970worthog]

Dude, yesterday was the first time in a long time that I stepped foot in my garage but expect fresh new pics in the next few days

did you fix your fail clutch yet?

Not yet but im going to get some metal tm and plate that section in.

Now a question...should I get 3/16" or 1/4" to plate that section...is 1/4" really nessecary?

 

[NorCal_Chris]

3/16 is plenty. the frame is thinner than that anyways

 

[1970worthog]

3/16 is plenty. the frame is thinner than that anyways

My thoughts exactly.
