Liberty/Indy 7-6-08

[Matt]

It was a great day on the trail and it was nice to meet everyone.

We were on the trail about 9:45, off by 4:00. Most of us ran Liberty in and then Liberty out, a well built TJ went up Indy (Spencer) to get out.

For my first time running the Indy trail system I was impressed. I also walked up Patriot and Indy to see it in person. :eek:

Onto the pics:

Met up with Steve and company in the parking lot. SWEET BUGGIES!!!!!

AWESOME DAY, thanks everyone!

I have about 80 vid files to go though, I'll try to get a video up in the next week or so.

It was a great day and it was nice to meet some new faces. Damage consisted of a broken front sway bar (jimhattj), a bent tie rod (matt), and a broken steering knuckle adapter (me). So my rig is still down in Penrose, at a buddies house until I can get the parts to fix it and bring it home. Thanks Cody, for the help.

Scott, let me know if you need a tow. Looks like everyone had a good time.

Glad you guys had a good day...sorry I missed it...I love that trail system...ended up on today's Spring Creek Run....great groups we had as well....some t - storms while we were in the Rock Garden made it interesting....slippery than snot...anyway all good..get down there again soon!

[Action Jackson]

Did you get any more shots of Steve and Jack's buggies?

[Matt]

Naw, we only saw them in the parking lot. I'm sure they would have been a blast to watch.

[Carl]

Great pic's. I'm jealous

[JeepWheelin02]

Scott, let me know if you need a tow. Looks like everyone had a good time.

I should be good. Gonna call the company today to see about getting a replacement part. Depending on how long it will take them to get it out here I might take you up on that though.

[MN-XJ]

Nice pics guys.....

Matt, I take it the ARB held up?

[JimhatTJ]

hey if any of you have pics of scott broke steering and my broke swaybar could you email it to me? Off Road Only wants to see the pics..

thanks

[JeepWheelin02]

And he is saying to email it because we can't see photobucket from work.

[jeeplvr79]

pm sent for email addy and i'll send ya the ones that Matt posted

[SlipkoTJ]

Thanks guys for letting me tag along.

I had a blast down their. I'm going to have to run patriot next maybe with Rick and Steve sometime if you let me know when you both are running it.

It was great to meet some new people I had a blast.

Matt,

I can't believe that knuckle broke. Time to Hydro to relieve some added stress.

It wasn't my knuckle but Scott's aftermarket steering setup. It was fun watching you take the big lines up Indy. :thumbsup:

Scott/James, PM me your email and I'll get those pics sent if you still need them.

[CSP]

Matt was your ZJ for sale on East Parker a few weeks ago?

[Matt]

Nope, mine has been busted in the garage for most of the month.

I've seen another ZJ like mine around Parker though.

[Steve Rickard]

Matt,
Looks like you got the only picture of the buggies. I took my camera but never got it out of the case! :shrug: Just a fast, steady pace up the trail.

Jack (blue buggy), John (black and orange YJ) and myself had a pretty good time. We ended up dropping back in down Freedom and out the entrance.
Only carnage was John's YJ. His front driveshaft broke on the last (first) obstacle on our way out. Winched him up and out and put our junk on the trailers and decided to call it a day.

Nice meeting all of you! ;)

Spence, I told you to hurry up and drop in, we would wait for ya! Glad you caught up with the rest of the other group. Looks like y'all had more fun anyway.

[Alpine Spirit]

OOOOO DAMN that trail looks like alot of fun!!

Yeah, you guys didn't waste any time.

After walking patriot, I need to come back and watch some rigs run it. That exit in person is just wicked.

[JeeperSince3]

Good running with you guys.... I need a new diff cover too by the way.

Hammer Time!!

Scott/James, PM me your email and I'll get those pics sent if you still need them.

Nope, Nora sent them to us. And ORO shipped out replacement parts for James and I free of charge yesterday. Thanks though.

So hopefully I will be able to head down there in the next day or two to fix my heep and bring it home.

Hammer Time!!

Matt,

I have a heavy duty cover for you. $15 and it's yours. It's a little heavier with a nice drain plug. Let me know. I've just been keeping it around.

Definately give me a heads up next time you run down there again. :cool:

Thanks Spencer, I PM's this to Cody (It was his Jeep). I just took the pic of his, but I wish I had a D44. ;)

[Matt]

Did you get your Jeep home Scott?

[JeepWheelin02]

No not yet. Parts came in today. So I'm gonna head down there tomorrow after work to get it. Anyone wanna go with me to drive my car back?
