NICE! The pic in the middle looks like you are at a real bad side slope! Even the trees are growing sideways!

[TwisteD90]

If I remember correctly my lev-o-gauge was at 40+. I think adding anti-rock in the back will help a lot since coil overs do nothing when it comes to off camber sections. Notice the Yellow D90 taking the same line with way less body roll, oh wait there was no body roll :)

Hey Keith, you see what you missed? Get the Disco running, we will be there next weekend again :)

[Mike Hippert]

Any damage pics?:grin

[TwisteD90]

It looks much worse in person. This is one of 6 damages by that one obstacle but it is the biggest though.

[Mike Hippert]

WOW, is the door shut? It look like it no longer lines up in that pic?

[Davis]

Sorry I missed you yesterday, Yousef--I had a great time with some Yoda's doing the trail, though. I bashed my frame hard enough to put a nice dent and bow the sides a little right between the front and rear trailing arms. I am going to weld some 1/4" steel along the frame rails to prevent future "carnage"...ALMOST got up the waterfall---next time!

[TwisteD90]

Mike, no the door wasn't shut all the way.

Which line did you take on the waterfall Chris? far right? middle? I tried the far right two years ago and my D90 did not fit, in fact it dented my front right fender :( Last year I tried the center line and also failed. No lockers nor enough low gearing. I might give it a try this weekend.

[DJ Menasco]

If I remember correctly my lev-o-gauge was at 40+
Man! What was your Lov-o-gauge on this one!!! :grin

[Mike Hippert]

Man! What was your Lov-o-gauge on this one!!! :grin

Thats what I was saying in my first post! but I don't remember any trees growing sidways while I was in Colorado either, I think he photo choped that pic to make it look worse then it is.:hmm

[redrover]

Yousef, I am waiting for a 44inch anti rock. I have a great plan for mounting to the rear. I will hopefully get the thing in and tested next week. I will take shots of the modifications and install. And pics of the articulation before and after. JP

[Davis]

Yousef==I took the line on the right--I scrapped up the front passengers fender flare and realized that the only way up was to bump up with a little momentum-- at that point my spotter asked how I liked my door handle (if I wanted it to stay attached or not)--which is why I bailed. Unfortunately the rock on the right angles in at the base so that the bodywork would take the hit before my sliders. If I could get turned just a hair to the left, I think I could clear it with a little bump. I might meet you up there Saturday, if that is when you go.

[dave_lucas]

Chris,

Did you get the Moab pictures off your camera yet?

[DJ Menasco]

Thats what I was saying in my first post! but I don't remember any trees growing sidways while I was in Colorado either, I think he photo choped that pic to make it look worse then it is.:hmm

Oops. I should read the entire thread first. Dammit!!

[TwisteD90]

Mike, I didn't know you were talking about that picture :lol

JP, how much was it? Pictures will be nice.

Chris, no plan on what day yet. I'll keep you posted.

DJ, that was at 130+ :grin

Dave, where are the pictures from Matel Masher?

[Mike Hippert]

Oops. I should read the entire thread first. Dammit!!No no, he did not reply to me, I'm glad I'm not the oly one to see it:grin

[dave_lucas]

"Dave, where are the pictures from Matel Masher"

Still waiting on them :)

[WhiteD90]

Nice pics Yousef, when are you coming east to wheel?

Tis

[TwisteD90]

Soon I hope. First I need to buy the tow rig along with the 5th wheel enclosed trailer but can not do that till my divorce is final. Let me take care of that first and then I'll let you know.

[TwisteD90]

Chris, I made the waterfall this time w/o any body damage. However, I took a bit harder line to avoid the body damage on that section. I tried the center section (Wall) made it up but I kept hopping the D90, which cause my front tires to go air born thus no traction up front.

Killed my sliders and more body damage. Fun time.

[TDI Guy]

[revor]

These glasses will soon be available exclusivly through Rovertracks! with the flaps up you see everything normal with the flaps down they show you the best possible line through any obstacle..
They really are quite remarkable!

When my 4 yo daughter see's thsi pic I am in deep trouble....

DADDDY!!!! You CAN"T wear my glasses!!!!!!

Keith

[TDI Guy]

Cool, I will have to order a pair. I thought they were the sun glasses that gave you NINJA powers... :) Sorry Yousef, I just had to.


Randy

[revor]

Nah it's the blue ones that give you Ninja powers :)

Randy Started it!!!!!

Keith

[Mike Hippert]

See I didn't say anything Yousef!































well maybe
Chicken!
:grin

[Rovertracks]

A Big FAT Chicken!!!!

(Inside joke having no reference to my tall friend)

[TwisteD90]

You guys having fun?

[TwisteD90]

Some more pictures running Carnage the last day of 04 and the first day in 05 :)

I did the trail with no headlights as the switch decided to die at the first few feet into the trail. Gotta love flashlights :grin

[Mike Hippert]

Nice pics! Is driving without headlights like driving with your eyes shut?

[TwisteD90]

No, amazingly the parking lights provided some light and the moonlight helped a little too. I could see the rocks but when in doubts I would use my passing lights or flashlights. I'll be doing another night run when both D90's are running again.

[rover4x4]

quit BSin its those ninja powers. :demented You got another D? :eek:

[TwisteD90]

Lol, actually the other one belongs to the girlfriend :)

[JBurt]

What a girlfriend!

Been trying to talk the fiance` into a hard top. She can't drive a manual so it'll have to be a '97. Funny part is, she's "actively" looking for one and her parents want a 110 now that they've seen my 90.

[rover4x4]

hmm its easy to learn to change gears

[TwisteD90]

She thought about selling her D90 and buy a 110 since I have a ST. I took her to test drive a custom built 110 with TDI but she thought it was too big, which I agree. Then I talked to her about getting a SW but she hates SW's, which I do to. So she is keeping her Buttercup for now :)

BTW, hers is a stick and she wheels the crap out of it but still cannot keep up with me. However, she'll out wheel a big percentage of D90 owners :grin :naughty

[TDI Guy]

You must be talking about Mike right? :lol

[Mike Hippert]

Well ya! Have you tried to drive Yousefs 90? You need to be a friken Ninja to know how it works!:grin

[JBurt]

hmm its easy to learn to change gears Yeah, but this way I get to drive everywhere in it :cool:

[rover4x4]

its nice to ride sometime.

[TwisteD90]

Well ya! Have you tried to drive Yousefs 90? You need to be a friken Ninja to know how it works!:grin

She must out ninja me then :) You and Randy seen the video’s of her driving my D90 and making every obstacle at the first try :grin

BTW, the first video that I sent you guys, she swears she’ll make it in 3 sec flat next time :grin Should I be afraid?

Hey Randy, “I’m going to roll, no you wont keep going” :lol

[Mike Hippert]

Hey Randy, “I’m going to roll, no you wont keep going” :lol
Are you talking about me? When I was driving your 90 down the rock and everyone was yelling at me to go faster then slow down then you all said STOP! And stared at me as if I was about to drive off a cliff, I thought I was doing fine.

And you are in trouble, I bet she can out wheele you any day.:grin

[TwisteD90]

Actually I was talking about the first video when she was climbing the guardian rocks. Go see it again and you'll know what I’m talking about.

You were going to roll my D90 in Moab? Where was that? I can't remember.

Hmmm well see about that.

[Mike Hippert]

I wasn't, but I asked you that when everyone went quiet, I must have been doing something right at the time so everyone stopped telling me what to do :grin .

And she is better, you just don't want to admitt to it.

[TwisteD90]

We had a visitor from Australia Ben AKA IsuzuRover from pirate so we decided to show him carnage. Some more body damage to my D90 which you really can not tell anymore, and blown side wall on a 255/85/16 BFG MT. Those tires should be left on street not rock crawlering :grin

Nice..... How is your drivers door? LOL

[TwisteD90]

Funny, that rock didn't even touch the door. Now the front and rear quarter panel is a different story :(

[WCURoverD90]

I can't seem to see the pics...Are they removed or are they on a website>???

[redrover]

Yousef, Hows it gong? Are you going to be in moab next weekend? How about some good photos of the new cage! Who did you get to build it? JP

Wow, I like the tire carrier better on da yellow 90. The driver of the yellow 90 seems to know how to drive allot better then you Yousef.:grin And who's Idea was it to put BF MT's on the yellow 90?

[TwisteD90]

JP, I'll post pictures soon. The cage was done by Rover Tracks. However, Keith did not build the cage, it was Justin. He does some work for him; he is the guy wearing red fleece in the pictures. The cage is one full piece, lighter weight, and a tiny bit lower than stock. After removing the rear tire carrier, putting the tire in the back, redialing the coil overs, the D is a beast it just keeps climbing.

Mike, I did not choose those tires. I mean I have nothing against BFG MT but that size is a poser size in my mind. It's more like you care about LR image more than off road performance. Let the flaming begin :grin

So then do I see some 38's for her soon? :) AndI think you really need to test the new cage!

[TwisteD90]

No, she won't let me cut up buttercup. However, I'm planning for a set of 35-36, 4.75, ARB for the rear to go along with front 4.75, ARB, HD axles that I'm giving her :) She gave me the OK to replace/sell anything off her truck as long as she doesn't have to pay any $$. She doesn't know what's coming her way :naughty

I did hit the cage three times hard. I push it hard and was expecting a roll over but the sucker won't go over.

[Mike Hippert]

What tires is she going to run? MTRs or Blue Krawlers? And why 4.75s! THat is way to low for 35s, I know thats what you will be pulling out of yours but chang the gears to 4.10s and keep it driveable on the road!

Have you not seen my excel sheet? http://www.d-90.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=2930

[TwisteD90]

No idea on what tire yet. It could go from BFG MT to Super Swampers. Her truck needs a low gearing bad, it's really under powered, so 4.75 and 35's should be good. Plus we alreay have the front so it would be better if we go with 4.75 rear. However, there is a good chance that I might go with Toy stuff!

[redrover]

The saga never ends.

[ISUZUROVER]

Hi Yousef,

Ben here. I just wanted to say thanks for taking me wheeling at Carnage. It was great to see what CO/US wheeling is about. I had a great time.

I had fun getting from Denver to ATlanta the next day. My flight was cancelled because of the snow, and I needed to get there quickly so I ended up hiring another car and driving!!!

Let me know when you are coming to OZ and I can organise some wheeling for you.

And thanks to Keith for Rovertracks for sorting out my Rover shopping list!!!

[TDI Guy]

Yousef, I liked the videos the best from the last trip... :)

[TwisteD90]

Glad you had fun. We were worried about your flight since all flights were canceled. Glad to know you made it fine.

Yes, my daughter studied about OZ and she really wants to go so I promised her that I'll take her to OZ soon. Also my son keep telling me that when I take them to OZ he wants to listen to that song (we come from a land down under) or some thing like that and he wants to chase some kangaroos at the same time :) Also I want to try your famous cookies, Mike Hippert baked some for us and it was great, but I’m sure it’ll taste better there (no offense Mike). So I’ll take you up on the offer and I will let you know when we will be there.

They were some great vid. We will take some more this year and try to find a website to host them

[Mike Hippert]

None taken! But let me know when you go so I can send you some and they can tell me how to make them better.:)

[chrisvonc]

[TwisteD90]

Now we're talking :)

I think you mean ANZAC biscuits? 3-6" diameter and flat? Asking for "cookies" in OZ will probably get you blank looks. ANZAC Day is the 25th of April, so that would be the best time of year to get really good ANZAC biscuits. But my wife has a pretty good recipe if you want it.

The best wheeling in OZ in South east Queensland/Northern New South Wales (About the middle of the east coast). Further south (Victoria) there is lots of mud and not as many rocks.

If you drive up and down the highways your son will see a lot of roadkill Kangaroos, but they don't run when you try to chase them :) .

[Mike Hippert]

This is what I used. The last Girl friend liked making cookies. :)

Oh great, here goes his dream! I'm sure he will be thrilled when he sees one :)

[ISUZUROVER]

Oh great, here goes his dream! I'm sure he will be thrilled when he sees one :) The live ones will run (jump) if you try and chase them, but if you are in a truck they are just as likely to jump towards the truck rather than away from it - so it isn't advisable. Hitting a fully grown kangaroo is like hitting a moose or a deer.

Over the years I have had one collision and one very near miss in the 110 - in both cases the kangaroo/wallaby decided to be suicidal and jump towards the truck rather than away. Fortunately they usually seem to be scared away by the noise from the ISUZU tractor engine. And the IIA doesn't go fast enough to collide with kangaroos :grin.
