RRB to WINDROCK Overland Adventure 2017! - Public Thread.

[DG Rider]

W@Plumber32 somehow managed to get 9 gallons of gasoline in his tank. Finally got it drained and we are.loaded up and back on the way!

I'm 45 min out. Could of been worse! Thank God mopar noticed my screw up. On the bright side locals showed up to help. Several people did the same at the same pump.

This didn't have to do with KY's screwed up pump coloring, did it?

I'll get a few drone pics and vids ups soon. I've got a small amount of Virb and 360 footage.

I also want to publicly thank @Windrock1000 and @JACKAL. Those two guys made great trail leaders and provided a lot more than just a route.

This was my first time to get to meet several members. Everyone is great and I'd ride with any of them again.

Another special thanks to @jrplaza2008 and creativeUTVgraphics for the stickers.

It was a little warm and dusty but I'll do it again next September. But this time we will run smaller groups!! I tried but the general consensus with the group was to ride together.

Again, thanks to everyone for coming out. Especially those that travelled from several states away.

Yes it did!

 

[DG Rider]

Yes it did!

LOL...sorry, should have warned everyone.

Everywhere else I've ever been: Green = Diesel
KY: Green = a green pump handle

An appropriately abbreviated state if ever there was one. (sorry, KY peeps!)

Will someone check my skid plate bolts please!





I drove up this in April right after @Eltobgi. Apparently the weight in the back from the all the camping gear was too much!

So right after this happened to me, here comes @Plumber32 like "I got that". Lol!!

 

[joeymt33]

This is a rough vid with me holding my phone and flashlight but this is all that was left for Saturday nights camping after the carnage and some folks needed to start traveling home.

 

[joeymt33]

Then there was two.....

Traveller and Farm Rig just didn't have enough riding in so we rode in RRB for several more hours. Up to the top of the world trail. This is my brother piloting Farm Rig. He did an awesome job for his first time for riding this serious.

Also, both of these Hondas were flawless. I'll have to check the mileage but we may have gotten close to 170 which is A LOT for this type of terrain.



I couldn't leave RRB without my patented roof stand pics! That is me and co-pilot Mike and my brother on Farm Rig.



We couldn't leave out our great friend shorty! Barely taller than the tires. Lol


Here's a view from top of Traveller on Top of the World

He's a sick man! Better in person but very sick nonetheless

First off I want to thank everyone for a great time! @Windrock1000 Thank you for the support truck and all your work. @joeymt33 for your level of preparedness and letting me borrow your boots, sammich(that cricket made) and everything else. You are a genuinely awesome individual. Thanks to @Kilo427 for letting me steal your rig to go boating, and @knuckledeep for using your rig as a water cannon on plumber lol! I am definitely in for next year. Like JTW said I HATE depending on other people to help me out. So from everything from ice to gas to boots to a fuse, I don't forget those things, hopefully I'll get the chance to repay the favor. Now, on with pics.

I am still curious which 5 machines made the climb, who broke axles, and all the other carnage related details

Me and @sugarray (a-arms but stock everything else and loaded down with people's stuff), my buddy Kalem on his stock 400 Kodiak, @JACKAL, @Kilo427 @Windrock1000 @Cuoutdoors all had combinations of tires , shocks, and arms. made it initially. We all made it down, with little more than skid plate damaged.

Dragons Back and Widowmaker are two tough trails, but a careful, slow, controled line 100% of the time and it's doable with little less than cosmetic damage, but miss the 1% and they can earn their names.

I think it's still in o'hana rig if you don't find it let me know I'll send your check thank you very much JT

It's still in there, just got in and myself cleaned up, I'll have to get everything unloaded and cleaned up tomorrow after work.

@Tramguage1 PM me your address and I'll get it out this week.

No it's true, just like days of thunder we got our own P1K Cole Trickle's

Harry Hogge: I can't talk to this son of a b****... I can't talk to that son of a b****... I just can't... I can't... I... I...
Tim Daland: You think he can drive?
Harry Hogge: Oh he can drive. He can drive beyond the limits of the tires, the engine, the car or anything else. If the sum' b**** listened to me we wouldn't hardly ever lose a race.

So if we can teach members not to drive beyond the limits of the CV joints, axles, & Tie rods we'd hardly have a slowdown.

Well I don't think we would have had any trouble whatsoever had we set up camp and then tackled Widowmaker and Dragons back without an extra 600 pounds in the bed
