PA Again! June 24-26

[Mike Hippert]

Well we talked about it around the camp fire and thought that the third weekend in June would be a good time for another trip. So who would be in for the 18th to 19th? I think Dave S, and Tyler thought they could make it, and maybe I might get my junk running by then (pray that a machine shop will do the work!).

So Mark your Calendars!

[flippedrover]

I can do the 17 and 18th. I've got to be home for a mountain bike race sunday. Must have passed out from all the smoke from the fire while ya'll were talking about the next trip.

[chrisvonc]

That weekend works good for me as thats one of my Fridays off. Rausch or Paragon?

[DaveHuny]

I think I'll be at my sister's wedding for those dates, so I'll have to sit this one out. What is it with all these weddings???

[TDI Guy]

I'm in this one definatley....

[souza]

I personally would prefer the next weekend, as the 19th is Father's day and I like to do something with my Dad then. (No, I don't think I could get him to come along :grin). But I will still consider it and try to make it. And I'd vote for Paragon, as I've not been there yet.

[Chris Vitale]

Sounds and looks like you guy's had one hell of a time! :angry Thank god you have decided so quickly to go wheeling again. :) Please add me to the list for Friday night through Sunday morning. I have never been to Rausch or Paragon so either works for me.

[Coiler]

Hi guys, I am recently new to the D-90 source. I would like to join in on this if there is room. Either place looks good to me.
Thanks!

[souza]

There's always room Ernie, as these are full blown OHV parks vs. some limited number for a trail ride. Depending on how many actually show up, we may have to break into groups to be a little more manageable, but we won't know that until we get there.

[Mike Hippert]

Hi guys, I am recently new to the D-90 source. I would like to join in on this if there is room. Either place looks good to me.
Thanks!Cool! More New England guys! We need a park closer up here!

[dmarchand]

Cool! More New England guys! We need a park closer up here!

Isn't their one in NH? I thought the NEOW.org guys go to it.

[souza]

Marchand just needs to buy a couple hundred acres in northern VT and setup one up!

[Mike Hippert]

Marchand just needs to buy a couple hundred acres in northern VT and setup one up!I second that! Forget buying a house and open a park!

[dmarchand]

Marchand just needs to buy a couple hundred acres in northern VT and setup one up!

Ha....




Ha.

[Mike Hippert]

OK so lets say we move off of Faters day weekend who can make it for the 25th and 26th?

[Coiler]

I definitely want to go on the next run, I am pretty sure I can go on any of these dates. Is it possible to meet with anyone and go in convoy?

[chrisvonc]

Look at that.. another AA Yellow to add to the ranks.

[Mike Hippert]

Ernie, Dave meets up with us at the rest stop at exit 70ish on 84, and we convoy down from there. There will be most likly be between 4 and 6 coming down from NE.

[Coiler]

That sounds good to me, as the date gets closer maybe we can work out a meeting time?

[Mike Hippert]

Sounds good! Maybe we can meet someplace before then and talk about the next trip.

[Coiler]

Sounds good! Maybe we can meet someplace before then and talk about the next trip.Mike I would be glad to meet you. Manchester isn't that far away and I frequent NH almost every other weekend. Let me know when is a good time for you

[Mike Hippert]

LOL well we have already met, at the last BSROA meeting, I was the guy in shorts with Jimmy. I was thinking we might have another D-90 meeting some time soon.

[flippedrover]

I can try and get saturday off for the 25-26. Right now I'm a maybe

[DaveHuny]

I could do the 25-26th probably.

[souza]

Yes, D-90 pub meet and greet at Jimmy's! Name the date. Did you come up for that last BSROA meeting Ernie? Mike you know it wasn't the Ernie I was with, right? That was Ernie Young (who may also attempt to make the June trip).

[TDI Guy]

either weekend is good for me I am off both of them

[Bikahoga]

Dont change the date I will be at paragon from the 16th -19th for a Early Bronco Show and I will have my 90 out on the trails.

[chrisvonc]

I am already off on the 17th so that weekend for me would be prefered but whatever the majority deside I can roll with.

[Chris Vitale]

Don't know if I can wait until June 25th. :crazy Not sure I can wait until June 17th! I recently moved to North Jersey, and if you guy's are interested, we could make TWOOOO trips. One in the near future and another at the end of June. What do you say?...

[Coiler]

Hey Dave/Mike,

thanks for clearing that up. I wasn't at the BSROA meeting. Like I said before, I am free pretty much anytime on the weekends. I would be glad to meet anyone anytime to go wheeling. Just let me know where and when

[jimmy salmon]

OK so when are we going to have a D90 meet

[Mike Hippert]

Hey Dave/Mike,

thanks for clearing that up. I wasn't at the BSROA meeting. Like I said before, I am free pretty much anytime on the weekends. I would be glad to meet anyone anytime to go wheeling. Just let me know where and when
OK my bad!:grin Too many Ernies and Daves! But I think we met at a BSROA meeting last year.

We need to pick on Dave Marchand and try and figure a Saturday he can do for a D-90 meet.

[Coiler]

That sounds good to me. I would be glad to meet and go on any saturday coming up

[rvrsrvc]

I'm in San Diego on vaca that week. Maybe next time!
Trevor

[cgalpin]

Fathers day weekend is bad for me. I can do the weekend after.

charles

[lobster]

I will be heading up to Rausch creek with some richmond guys the 24th-26th this might be a large gathering, excellent

[rvrsrvc]

I stand corrected! I return from San Diego on the 22nd, so I'm in!

[flippedrover]

Ok so are we doing the 25-26?

[cgalpin]

I'm in

[Mike Hippert]

As long as I get my broke junk going I'm in!

[rvrsrvc]

THere's a Jeep thing scheduled that weekend, as well as Philly Rovers, D90 and the Richmond/RTE boys. Should we call it the MSR=Mid-State Rally? The RSR=RauchcreekStateRally? DBR=DiffBusterRally?

[Mike Hippert]

I thought we were going to Paragon this time?

[cgalpin]

I don't care which. I have not been to paragon, so I'd like to check it out, but you guys didn't paint a very pretty picture of it.

Mike, your coming whether your junk is fixed or not :)

Trevor, I got the y-pipe end - you da-man!

charles
p.s. I'll be at Rausch this sunday for a OCC Club run. Need me to break anything? ;)

[PT94D90]

I'm in.

[Eric Siepmann]

I am in. This better be one hell of a ORV park!

EwS

[TDI Guy]

so its the 25-26th right?

[Mike Hippert]

Yep are you going to come this time or is the heater still going to keep you from comming (not that I am any better my 90 didn't come last time either :grin )

[chrisvonc]

Paragon is awesome. The 2 downsides to it though are the amount of crazy ATVs bombing around like bees and that Paragon draws a lot larger amount of people. They also have a lot more easier trails in case a group of new drivers want to throw into the weekend.

[TDI Guy]

lol. Im there this time. I have a spare tire now too. This might be a big group huh..

[cgalpin]

I'm still in :)

[Eric N]

I'll be in Ohio.. :(


Charles, How many Rovers are in Off Camber Crawlers now? Just wondering..

[rvrsrvc]

We could do both. One day here, one day there with one day to fix all the broken junk!

[flippedrover]

Does that mean you got the shop at your place done?

[rvrsrvc]

Nope, just mentally preparing! I'll build a shop at the next house- Andrea had a visit from the previous previous owner of this place and this woman told her some of the awful thing s that went on here. Bodies in the closets kind of stuff.
The woman also said she was writing a book, so how much truth is it? Either way, we're outta here...

[scoloco]

so its the 25-26th right?
Cant make that date. This makes me triple booked for that weekend :(

[cgalpin]

Charles, How many Rovers are in Off Camber Crawlers now? Just wondering..

2 defenders that I know of - Loic and I. There is at least one other person with a RRC I think, maybe one or two more. We need more Rovers!

charles

[dmarchand]

I am in. This better be one hell of a ORV park!

EwS


It is Eric. Especially if CVC is there. He's good at getting you lost on gnarly trails... :)

Seriously though, it's a cool place for a group gathering with trails to please everyone.

[Eric Siepmann]

Cool.

Vacation Approved. Planning the route. Not too bad a drive. Most likely leave on Thursday AM if I can't hook up with Mr. thaler.

EwS

[PT94D90]

Is there a campground at Paragon?

[Mike Hippert]

Nope but there is The Red Ridge campground down the road, real nice showers and everything!

[JohnK]

Mind if some Discos and/or Range Rover Classics from DiscoWeb join the trip?

[flippedrover]

sure. This the same John the wheels with Walter and Marco?

[JohnK]

sure. This the same John the wheels with Walter and Marco?Yes (hope that not held against me). We need more of a challenge than what GWNF generally has to offer.

[Mike Hippert]

We need more of a challenge than what GWNF generally has to offer.
As long as you have diff gaurds and don't mind some dents you should do OK.

[flippedrover]

That's what I thought. Very true too about GWNF.

[JohnK]

As long as you have diff gaurds and don't mind some dents you should do OK.I have an '89 RRC with several good dents and lots of pin striping. I have a Rovers North front diff guard (that requires re-positions after a good outing) and a Qt services rear guard.

I think some of us that visit the DiscoWeb forum may be interested in joining your group. Do you mind if a few Discos and RRCs join in?

[Mike Hippert]

I think some of us that visit the DiscoWeb forum may be interested in joining your group. Do you mind if a few Discos and RRCs join in?
Well, as long as you don't mind fallowing us around when we get lost in Paragon, or hopelessly stuck and broke in Rausch creek then I don't have a problem. Oh and you must abide by all of our rules and regulations stipulated in Section 82 of the D-90 trips and events manual.

[cgalpin]

I dont have the manual handy. Is section 82 the part about the disco owner hazing, or the fetching drinks on demand?

[chrisvonc]

If stockers or new owners want to join in, I may be needing to stick to the less advanced trails, breaking in a new truck so I can take them in a group.

[Eric Siepmann]

Just want to make sure the dates are solid as I have a few vacation days on this and it's a loooonnnnngg drive from CHi-town.

EwS

[Mike Hippert]

I dont have the manual handy. Is section 82 the part about the disco owner hazing, or the fetching drinks on demand?If you go through all the subsections that I have recently added per the last meeting they are both now under section 82.

No, they can fallow right behind ME! :grin Everone knows I drive very carefully.

Are a RTE group and the Philly Rovers (with the "Less is More" website) are going too? Under Section 82, are we to provide the drinks that we are required to "fetch on demand"? Can we wear our East Coast Posse colors at your meet?

You will have to consult with the Beer drinkers on what they like, I only drink the real hard stuff. The dates are set. We may do both, a day at Paragon a day at RC not sure yet. No idea on the other groups unless they post here I would not know, anyone else know? Bring whatever colors you like, but chances are they will look the same as ours by the end of the day, muddy brown and covered with gear oil and grease.

[cgalpin]

John you catch on fast. Yes, we like most imports, with a preference for guinness. Quantity always wins over quality though.

Mike, They make water softeners you know.

As I understood it the plan was to start at Paragon. If they run us out or we get bored, we'll just roll down to RC.

charles

[flippedrover]

So who's calling Red Ridge to let them know we are comming? I'll be looking to take it kind of easy this trip as I'll be breaking in a new transmission and T-case.

[jimmy salmon]

ssshhhhhhh don't metion the word BREAKING:grin

[Mike Hippert]

I tried calling but got no answer, I was just going to tell them 5 to 10 trucks some on Friday more on Saturday and Sunday. And I also wanted to find out how early we can set up camp on Friday.

[PT94D90]

I'm with you then, CVC. I've seen photos of the Hippert mud hole. :)

[Eric Siepmann]

So will there be a group site then? Or do we have to make our own arrangements?

EwS

[Mike Hippert]

I left a message and I am waiting for them to call me back but I want to see if I can get a group site (what we normaly do) but you will still have to pay the normal rate we just all get to set up in the same area.

[JohnK]

Here's where I may be wearing out my welcome; but, what do you think of a J**p Unlimited Rubicon joining in? This could be a good opportunity to compare a stock Rubi to a stock D-90.

Heathen! :angry


Just kidding. I'd actually like to get a good look at one.

[Mike Hippert]

OK I talked to Red Ridge and we are all set. We are camping behind the barn, as you pull in there is an immediate right, before the check in area we are right down that road. He also said he has no problem with us pulling in during the wee hours of the morning setting up camp and checking in the next morning. It is $10 per person per night for tenter's..

[flippedrover]

Cool. So how many going at this point?

[DaveHuny]

I'm most likely in for Sat & Sun.

[jimmy salmon]

i'm in.Traveling down thu sometime

[lobster]

I will hopefully be there Friday around 1pm

[cgalpin]

I'll be up early friday.

The stcok rubi is welcome. I can tell you from experience that even without lockers the D90 is just as capable as the rubi as its ground clearance is shyt.

charles

[Mike Hippert]

I'll be there Thursday night with Jimmy, does the Rubi have a winch? If so put him behind me with the other stockers. With the noisy T-case, broke drumbreak and other odd noises I don't think I have enough broke stuff yet and feel like doing something crazy.

PS it sucks when the gas gauge says you have 1/4 tank and you run out of gas on the way to work!

[lobster]

Bummer. Same thing happened to me 1/4 tank. At least that was a cheap fix

[PT94D90]

Mike - Would you happen to have an address for that campground so I can plug it into Mapquest? I'm gonna shoot for Fri morning in time to hook up with you guys before you hit the trails.

Yep I learned not to bother with D-web. I'm either going to be there thursday evening or friday morning. Depends on how motivated I feel thursday.

[Eric N]

I might actually be able to make this one. If I do it will be very last minute. My wife gave me the wrong dates for our Ohio trip.. We actually go up there the weekend of the 18th.. When I find out if I can make it I'll let you guys know.

[chrisvonc]

If i can get off that friday, I will come up either Thurs night or early Friday morning and plan on the whole weekend. If not, I will be up there Friday evening.

Eric, I think it will be a contest between you and Randy of who will get out with us before the other. :)

Ya, well, after a talk with my mother in law, my wife now stands corrected on the dates of our Ohio trip and guess what.. Same damn weekend as this trip :(

I swear I think my wife is messing with me on purpose since she knows how bad I've been itching to get out.. arggg!! :angry

So just how hot does it get up there in July/August? :)

[Mike Hippert]

That sucks Eric! Maybe next time. Oh and it gets pretty warm, the high yesterday was 90! but today it's only up to 56 out.

We can add RoverChic to the list. She's in NY for the summer but with out a computer.

Yeah sure.. heard that one before..
Besides, shes a fancy pant lawyer now right? Tell her to go buy a laptop from Dell... some crazy low prices now.

I'm on call and my partner is having surgery that friday so will be laid up all weekend. The only other person I could rely on being on call for me has other commitments. Sucks being self employed sometimes.

Charles go up to your Boss and tell him you'll quit if you can't go! Or just bring a PC and connection with you, then when someone calls you can fix it remotely, right?

Bummer man.

Well 2 problems

1. I am my Boss, and I can be a real ass sometimes. I just spoke to myself and I didn't budge. I can't really quit either.
2. This is more about physical access to our datacenter. I have plenty of remote help.

I think I'm out. Haven't been able to put in for time off for that saturday.

[mudrover]

Hmm...you boys mind if i do some testing with you guys on Friday, I've got t a concert to go to on saturday in Hershey? That is if I can get the kinks in the front end worked out and toss in an exhaust. I'll put a Land Rover logo on it if need be :ohmy

Bikahoga I think you have me confused with Randy...and yes I do know about the ECBR event, but I most likely won't have my exhaust made in time. A 3 day event isn't the time/place where I want to do testing for the first time.

[Mike Hippert]

Mine's running, but leaks all over! Working on it now, might be leak free for the trip! Hope ya can make it!

[TDI Guy]

Pete, Jorge and myself are going... I have to see if I will be there fri or sat morning though... We still hav eto put Jorges new suspention in prior to the trip....shhhhhhh don't tell anyone. IT will be my trucks firts trip too synce the rebuild. :)

With weather like we've had over the last week up here (although not today) you bet I'm looking for that A/C hookup!

Jorge, you gonna bring the DVDs from last year's trip? :grin

[jorge]

You bet,i made about 6 copies.One does have your name on it.

[rvrsrvc]

Jorge,
I take it you and Trevor C never caught up in NYC, and I probably can't make this trip, but I would really like a dvd.
Can you leave two with Lynn at the Rausch office and I'll pick it up the following weekend, or would you ship them to me?
Thanks!
Trevor G

[flippedrover]

Actualy Trevor if Ken is feeling up to it he could bring your's and mine back and I can get them from him. I mean its not like I won't be in the shop again picking up the truck.

[rvrsrvc]

Well, that sounds good and I'm hoping to resolve the D90's cooling problems before then! Also, I may be able to join up witheverybody for dinner on Friday....

[RoverChic]

Yeah sure.. heard that one before..
Besides, shes a fancy pant lawyer now right? Tell her to go buy a laptop from Dell... some crazy low prices now.

HAHA .............. Anyways Ya Michael is **Suppose** to be home that weekend.. But I have his credit cards and NY Is making me crazy!!!

[evilfij]

How is the gold one?

Ron

PS I know NY sucks.

You taking the NY bar?

[Peter]

Where you guys planning on staying. If I can get the new master cylinder in and flush the fluids I'll be there in the Series.

[rkoller]

Where are you headed on Friday? Rausch? Paragon?

Would like to meet up with the group Firday morning. Just need to know when and where.

[souza]

I'm out for this one. It was bound to happen really, just a lot going on and had to make a priorities call.... This is going to be a busy summer. Sorry guys, have fun.

[chrisvonc]

I may not be able to make this trip gang. I might be needing to pack up my apt. for a move to Austin with a new position in my company.

[rvrsrvc]

Like, Texas? Oh, that's no good.

Follow-up Post:

Also, Lynn from Rausch called and wants to know if anybody is going to Rausch Friday, and if anybody is camping.
Let me know and I'll forward that info, or contact her directly tjteal@aol.com

[TDI Guy]

Ok. Not sure If I will be there Fri afternoon or early saturday. Where will you guys be on these days? Where will the meeting place be? I think Vinny rom the Import Specialist might be coming too.

[JohnK]

Is the group wheeling on Sunday? If so, Paragon or Rausch? Do Paragon or Rausch require advance reservations? Thanks, John

[flippedrover]

I can't speak for the group since I'm out. But neither place requires reservations.

[jimmy salmon]

Looks like the ones who know paragon are dropping out and i am not sure if anyone is certified to lead a group at paragon.I think we should do rausch Friday as i know my way around there.I will still be camping at red ridge Thursday night (late) and be at the trail at 9.30am Fri.It would be helpful if those that are going to be there Thu night Fri morning could post here.
Trevor could you let Lynn know please.

We need at least 3 trucks to run the trails

[rkoller]

Would be glad to meet you Friday morning at Ruasch.

Still need a thrid truck.

[chrisvonc]

The certification for guiding at Paragon only takes about 15 minutes the last time I did it. It covers safety tips and park regulations. Anyone can go through the course. This is providing they still even require it. Its been a year since I have been there.

[PT94D90]

I'm in.

I'll be at Red Ridge Thur. around midnight. I'll PM you my cell # Jimmy.

[TDI Guy]

What about Saturday? You guys still going to Paragon? I will be there Sat morning about 8:30 or so unless I can make it friday afternoon. I will take down your cell # incase Jimmy. What about Hippert?
When Is he going

[Mike Hippert]

Hipperts 90 now has a broke T-case and wil not be making this trip. I'm not sure if I can get Friday off to travel down with Jimmy and watch everyone wheel again :grin

[TDI Guy]

That Sucks.....

[jimmy salmon]

[QUOTE=TDI Guy]What about Saturday? You guys still going to Paragon?

hopefully on saturday

[TDI Guy]

Someone post the Itinerary for the weekend so Jorge and myself can meet up with you guys Sat morning where ever you are..

[jimmy salmon]

Only 3 have posted saying they will be there for Fri so no plans as yet for Saturday.
We'll no doubt be at Red Ridge Camp Site till 9am Saturday morning

[TDI Guy]

So do you guys want to meet at Paragon on sat Morning or will you guys be staying at Rauch creek?
Jorge any Myself will be there about 9am

[DaveHuny]

Still planning on getting there Sat morning at 9. Does anyone have a link to directions to Red Ridge campground?

[Chris Vitale]

Jimmy,

Count me in for 9:30am Friday at Rausch.
Cell: 516-383-7645

[Mike Hippert]

Still planning on getting there Sat morning at 9. Does anyone have a link to directions to Red Ridge campground?

Hey Dave, Here is a link to the campground, getting to the place can be a little intresting though specially at night but if ya get lost or anything I think you have my cell # just call I remember the way pretty well.

http://www.gocampingamerica.com/redridgelake/

I just took a look at RC's and Paragons websites. RC looks good for Friday there is only 2 groups on the calender while at Paragon they still have the end of the big Hummer event. Then on Saturday Paragon looks good with only the one group while Rausch creek has 4 groups. Then on Sunday Paragon still looks good as there is only one group to RCs 2 groups, and Paragon is a closer to the camp ground and further North so it makes commuting easier for both campers and travelers.

Sound good guys?

[jimmy salmon]

Rausch Friday and Paragon Saturday & Sunday sounds good to me

[rvrsrvc]

The Rovertym guys are going to Rausch and will be there Friday afternoon, although they are not camping on the property. If you guys are planning to go to Rausch, someone needs to let Lynn know. The groups listed on the Rausch calender included a second group of Rovers because I had told Lynn we were coming there for this weekend! So it 's not likely to be that crowded.
I am going to be able to make it Saturday only, and I am going to Rausch (Paragon for me is another 45 minutes and the trails are so far apart, it'll take all day to run 3 trails!)
Have fun! Be safe!

[jimmy salmon]

There's 4 of us planning to do Rausch on Friday. As for Saturday, Dave H. is plannig to meet up with us at Red Ridge Campground around 9.00am. Does anyone have any preference as to which offroad park they want to do. I was kinda leaning towards paragon as I have not really been there. What do the rest of you want to do? We can meet at any of the parks on saturday morning if that is any better for anyone. We was thinking about around 9.30am at one of them.

[TDI Guy]

Paragon is good for Jorge and I. Please let me know by tonight since you guys are leaving friday morning. Also, What CB channel and I will have your Cell #

Follow-up Post:

Mike, are you hitching a ride with anyone? So far I have never seen your truck in action. It was always injured on the trail.

[chrisvonc]

Ok... who is going where? This trip is starting to look like a bunch of mice scattering when the lights turn on. Whos going to be at Paragon Sat & Sunday?

[jimmy salmon]

Paragon on saturday is good. We can talk to others on Friday to see if they want to join us. We will be at Paragon on sat at 9.30am. Please call me on the cell phone if anything changes for sat. as I am leaving soon to get to the campground tonight. See you all there and have a safe trip.

[DaveHuny]

Ok... who is going where? This trip is starting to look like a bunch of mice scattering when the lights turn on. Whos going to be at Paragon Sat & Sunday?

Me! I'll be getting to Red Ridge at(before?) 9 am.

[Mike Hippert]

Mike, are you hitching a ride with anyone? So far I have never seen your truck in action. It was always injured on the trail.

lol, well I have to work tomorrow so I won't be able to ride down with anyone, you guys will just have to take lots of pics for us all to see. But if you guys need anything Jimmy most of you have my cell #, don't hesitate to call.

[MikeJ]

Jimmy, you or any others going to wheel on Sunday as well. JohnK and I have been trying to get to both RC and Paragon this weekend since we've been to neither, but we can't do RC on Friday. The Rubi backed out of the trip so we don't have a third to get in anywhere. As Chris said the mice seem to be going every which way this weekend, so I'm just checking to see who we can hook up with. We're in a Rangie and Disco, both lifted with winches but not locked.

[Mike Hippert]

Jimmy is almost there now I just got off the phone with him, they are thinking they will do RC Friday, then Paragon Sunday. I think they are leaving red ridge at around 9 am on saturday to go to paragon I'll PM you Jimmy's cell # as I am not 100% on all their plans.

[mudrover]

Well, I'm out...going upstate for a few weeks or wheeling, you boys have fun at RC/Paragon...

Jorge, you didn't call me back, I'm assuming you got your tires mounted up. Call me early in the morning if you need it done.

[chrisvonc]

I'll meet who ever shows up at Paragon Sat morning. Will be in a Freelander so my offer to run mild trails with anyone not wanting to get rougher will still be open for Sat & Sun. Looks like this will be my last time to wheel here for a while before I move.

[TDI Guy]

Chris, will you be at the gas station Sat morning?


Randy

[chrisvonc]

The office or gas station, doesnt matter to me, either is just as easy. I just dont know what offical time people are planning on meeting.

[Mike Hippert]

How about 9-9:30 at the gas station, if you get there late call or go to the office! I'll make sure those already there and camping know this.

[chrisvonc]

ok.. sounds good. I should be at the station by 9am for last minute cooler goodies.

[TDI Guy]

Ok.. Sounds good. See you there

[Jaime]

PeterB and I will be at RedRidge Fri evening, and ready for Paragon on Saturday morning.

Peter's bringing a gwagen, I have a D1 on 32's, no lockers, so intermediate trails for me.

I'm looking forward to meeting some of you guys.

[TDI Guy]

Just got home. Great time. I will post some pics later. I think everyone did well except Jimmy. His Fuel pump in the 90 crapped out and they were looking for a replacement.

[cgalpin]

Huh? Jimmy's fule pump crapped out *last* trip as well. wtf?

[loykd]

He was up and running last night, thanks to Trevor G. '89 Cavalier fuel pump to the rescue!!

[edit]
Oh, and Randy, the rig looks great!

[TDI Guy]

Ken send me the pics when you can...


Had a great time....

[Chris Vitale]

Not to poor salt on an open wound, BUT... Jimmy seemed to also have bad luck the day before at RC when his driver side front tire popped off the rim in a mud hole... It ONLY took us an hour to get the tire off the ground so we could pop the tire back on the rim with the air tank. Sorry Jimmy couldn’t resist! lol



All kidding aside, it was great to meet everyone and checking out your rigs! Randy, your D-90 looks amazing and to boot, it laughed at all the trails.

Lets go again soon...

[DaveHuny]

I'm happy to report that Jimmy did just fine today. The only thing that stopped him was trying to get back onto the trailer!

[chrisvonc]

Here are two shot Ken sent over.

Follow-up Post:

oops.. I see Ken just added one of them to his post

[Mike Hippert]

I have no pics (forgot my camera) but yep we did get Jimmy's new pump in Saturday night and hit some good trails Sunday. Randy' 90 is awesome! It was great riding around in it even without a dash :) The TDi sounds GREAT, we'll have to get it a little dirtier next time! Oh anyone going to Paragon it is easier to use the force when navigating then trying to use the map! George that mud hole trip was great! Sorry we lost you guys switching trails, it's not like we really knew where we were either :grin Ken bummer you had to leave so soon after running only a few trails, but those girls can get really sick of the heat :) .

Then Sunday I road around in some guys freelander for a little while and I got to meet John C and Adrian finally! The Freeloader didn't do to bad other then getting cross axled real easily but then that might have been driver error :grin .

But then our luck went south on the way home, at about 8 pm in NY a passing by car pointed out that something was dragging on the ground, we pulled over to find the electrical connector to the trailer fell out and the wire and plug got messed up. So we found a Wal-mart and bought some parts to try and fix it. At 10:30 we still had not fixed it and were blowing fuses so we turned the Defenders park lights on the trailer and hit the road at reduced speed, we ended up at home at 3am or so.

Good meeting new some new faces, and good too see some again! :)

[TDI Guy]

IT was great meeting a few new faces on Saturday. Oh and Mike you are a great co-pilot. Use THe Force Mike...... lol.. It must be the only way.

Jimmy THanks for the great deal on the tank and the fillup at the camp site. Hope to wheel with you next time.

Note... always bring a lot of water and keep cool or your tounge will turn purple and you will pass out in a stream...

[JohnK]

Then Sunday I road around in some guys freelander for a little while and I got to meet John C and Adrian finally! The Freeloader didn't do to bad other then getting cross axled real easily but then that might have been driver error :grin .
I don't know why he wouldn't let me 'nudge' him over a few of the rocks (Jimmy-John in the black Rangie).

[chrisvonc]

hehehe... we tried to warn you guys that i was going to be slow going through the rocks.

I was pretty happy with how it did. Adjusting to the completely different driving style was the biggest throw for me and adjusting ones thinking that the lines and driving style you get used to with the larger Rovers are not handled the same with the Freelander. With a slight planning ahead and a variation in the line you take would greatly reduce the amount of "cross-axle" stops I had.

After 2 days of getting used to it, I would say the biggest improvements to make it more capable in the rougher stuff would be to figure out how get the ETC earlier or to be able to manually kick on when you want to or find some kind of lockers. But this is most likely better discussed over on MuddyOval. :)

[Mike Hippert]

I don't know why he wouldn't let me 'nudge' him over a few of the rocks (Jimmy-John in the black Rangie).

You know I wanted to let southern Adrian spot him through a few sections with his special glasses :)

You should Hack the ECU to take control of the ABS so you can selectively break each wheel independently. I think someone is or did do the on the Outer limits forum on a slightly bigger Rover. :)

After all it is my daily driver now and I do still have the D90.

[cgalpin]

Driving a freelander, moving to texas.....fag

=D

[chrisvonc]

aww.. harsh man.

At least i know how to put my defender in low range. :)

=D

charles

He said he was going to come to MAR with his 90 to prove his Manliness, and don't worry about the Texas thing, I hear the trails down there are pretty spars so he'll be looking to come back to wheel!

[cgalpin]

ROFLMAO .. tuche

I guess I should shutup until my POS actually runs. MIke, I'm gonna PM you later for advise when I get a chance - I've got starter/electrical probs again.

charles

[Mike Hippert]

Ahhh, sorry for not getting back to you last night, I totally forgot that and if I did remember it would have been a call back at 10:30, a little late for rover work! And I'll work on Rover electrics way before I ever work on a Ford! The Expedition had 120 fuses! :eek: and about 10 of them were somehow tied into the trailer!

[jimmy salmon]

There was four trucks for the Friday at Rausch,Rob & bill, Chris,Phil and Myself.Rob took the lead with me following behind.After doing a few trail Chris was having trouble with over reving and shooting over the rock,after a quick look at his truck the problem was soon fixed (enough said ay Chris;) ).Phil was having an overheating problem but not that bad that he couldn't finish the day.We did the ravine that was blocked with fallen trees last time and we all made it out first try.we also did a few water runs and the mud run where i popped the bead.After airing up we was about to hit a few more trails when mine overheated and went into the red,that was me done for the day,off to the jet wash.Even after that it was still getting hot on the way back to the camp site.Thank to Rob and Bill for guiding us throug the trails and to Chris and Phil for joining us.Saturday morning as we were about to leave for Paragon lo and behold i fry another gas pump,no wheeling for me that day.I drops the tank wired the pump to the battery and no go,whack it with a hammer still no go,have a beer hit it again stil no go,i kept repeating the prosses till one beer to many and hit my thumb.After wheeling Chris Von C & Mike after getting a call from Trevor with a part #(thanks Trevor) went to get me a pump(thanks to you two as well).Fitted that night i was all set to wheel the next day.I gets to the gas station and start pumping gas,in one hole and out the other,i forgot to connect the filler tube:blush (well i did have a few beers the day before).Chris led the trails in his Freelander and got cross axeld a few time on rocks smaller than i was picking out of the lugs on my tires:grin ,joking.We were doing the easy trails which was good as i was still worried about my overheating,which thankfully didn't re-occur.After stopping for lunch we split into two groups,Chris taking an easy trail out and us taking a medium which was quite challenging at times.Thanks all for a great week end.

Hey no problem at all. I can't believe you even answered the phone!

Don't forget you drive a ford now ;)

charles

[Mike Hippert]

Don't forget you drive a ford now ;)

Charles

I don't drive a FORD! wait a second I know what you mean (fix or repair daily) :rolleyes lol. I always try and answer, the only time I don't is because I don't hear/feel the phone while driving the Defender.

[DaveHuny]

Mike was determined to hitch another ride on the trail after the freelander ;) ...

[Mike Hippert]

LOL I don't know what was worse, hanging on the back or bouncing along in the back seat with the dog. I almost lost my head on the back, and I almost bounced out of the back seat trying to hold the dog down. Both made for a fun ride!

[PT94D90]

On the way home I kept hearing this voice in my head saying, "Put it in third and boot it!". :grin
And it was in a British accent.

Had a great time, would have stayed the whole weekend if not for the overheating problem.

Oh, and Roverchic looks completely different in person. :lol

[Mike Hippert]

LOL, all of us up here say that now no matter what the obstacle! Big rock pile to get over, going up a very steep hill, jumping barns while playing Dixie,,,,,,,,,,

Jimmy needs to add a sig that says "Put it in third and BOOT IT!"

[jimmy salmon]

BOOT IT![/b]"

thats what i wanted for a # plate but with TIT on the end they won't let me have it:(

[Mike Hippert]

Why not BOOTET!

[DaveHuny]

Move to CT (http://www.dmvplate.state.ct.us/VanityPlate.asp?PlateNo=BOOT.IT&PlateType=SaveTheSound&btnSubmit=Go)!

[Chris Vitale]

Jimmy
A quote comes to mind. "people who live in glass houses, shouldn't through stones" lol
Thanks for all the help on the trails Friday, especially for locking my center diff!:grin

[rkoller]

Thanks for letting a Disco join the group on Friday. Really enjoyed the day.

Jimmy, Do you have any pictures of the group going through the water hole?

[jimmy salmon]

Jimmy, Do you have any pictures of the group going through the water hole?
Rob, We have a video of each truck going through the water hole,loads of other pictures & video's on Friday which we will post as soon as possible
Great day, Thanks

[rvrsrvc]

Sorry I couldn't meet up with you guys this weekend! Our scheduled test tube baby making process changed at the last minute and I was able to squeeze in a day at Rausch, but after a small Disco power steering hose fire (not mine) and a broken shock (also not mine), I ran out of time for dinners/drinks/socialising.
Maybe next time!

If anybody is interested, we are going to Rausch again this saturday for the day...

[flippedrover]

Man i hate my work!! Sounds like i missed a good trip. And I thought I was having fun being awake for 23 of my 24 hour shift!!. I will make the next trip though. By the way Charles thanks for giving me the fan and shroud. Sadly after it was on the truck it develpoed a crack in the fan clutch.

[jimmy salmon]

the video's and pics from the weekend are now uploaded to my site,thanks to Brenda.

Too many people must be cruising Jimmys site cause I am not getting any love there trying to check these links out.

Jimmy - you should have cut an access hole in the back of your defender by now!

charles

[Mike Hippert]

LOL. I love the gods must be crazy reference.

lol that is what I was doing when you called last night :)

Jimmy - you should have cut an access hole in the back of your defender by now!

Both Jimmy and I said we need to cut a hole in the back to get to the pump, but now Jimmy can drop the tank in less then 20 minutes! :eek: No need for a hole!

[rkoller]

Jimmy and Brenda

Thanks for the great pictures.

The movies are awesome. I started laughing when I saw them, drawing attention from the rest of the office. They also enjoyed the movies!

[JohnC]

Mike / Jimmy,

Was that Chris Vitale in the black D90 at RC?

[Mike Hippert]

Yep! That was Chris! He was at Paragon on Saturday too, but he couldn't stick around for Sunday. PS john your PM box is full. :)

[chrisvonc]

Anyone with pictures of the Sat & Sunday Paragon outting, would you send them over to me. Trying to get a little package together for LRM. The higher res pictures, the better.

Thanks!

Thanks!

Follow-up Post:

Randy i did get 2 emails with some pics @ 2:30ish area.

[TDI Guy]

Chris, I just sent them to your d-90 email address and they worked this time. I broke them up into smaller groups. There should be 20 pics. Let me know if you got them.

[chrisvonc]

Got them, thanks Randy.. .whats with the blue artisit look in some of them? :)

[TDI Guy]

lol. don't know. it was my dads camera and I never used it before. I just fixed 2 of them a bit on my picture editting program with the auto tint fixer. See above :)

I wish I had some action shots of my truck :angry I think Fernando got some good video though. Can't wait to see it.

[TDI Guy]
