Body Damage is Cool
As always, I had a blast! Thanks to everyone for a good time! My only carnage was ripping off (well, more accuratly bending the tail pipe back at a 45 degree angle then cutting it off) my tail pipe off and a small dent on the driver front fender. Several people said "man you almost roled it" several times during the trip. Wether it was that close or not I dunno but it sure as hell felt like it in the truck. I don't think any one in our group had any serious carange, but a jeep did barrel role down a hill through, that was entertaining. I did get hung up pretty bad and have to winch myself out, but that was the only stuck I had. Here are a few pics.

Those are the only two really good actions shots my buddy got and he was only taking pics of my truck so he did not get some of anyone else, sorry buys!

Man, what a great time! Thanks to everyone who came out. Special thanks goes to our chefs for Friday and Saturday nights. Those dinners rocked!

I scuffed one tree on Daniel but for the most part it was a "damage free" weekend. My "new to me" 33s are wonderful!

Right side: bent mirror and scratched fender from guard rail on Daniel. Would have been worse if the guard rail wasn't there.

Left side: scratch and dent on rear door from dead toyota being pulled from full-size something on Wolf Den Sunday.

Front: Dent in bumper from tree on Dutch John. Tree is still there, but I'm sure I loosened its roots a little.

This is the most carnage I've received on any uhwarrie trip. But I had a blast, especially on Sunday in the rain.

Oh, one more thing. There's that clanging noise somewhere underdeath after the near roll guard rail incident. Not sure what it is, but the Montero is still rolling. I'll check it out when the weather improves.

Thanks for putting these trips together. You know who you are, even though we don't <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />.

A large time was had by all! -- Thanks to everyone for making it another great get-together! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />


No carnage to report here -- Heck, somehow I managed to climb that same rock that Robby's rig is pictured on above... I even made it up-and-over on 31s rather than 33s, under my own power (*Cough* Robby <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/pfft.gif" alt="" /> )

Anyone got any pictures of THAT ??? <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />


You can't really see it in those photos, but on your way up there was a large rock on the left side that looked like a major rig stopper - especially for someone on 31s...

Joe (BigPoppa) was spotting me, saying "Stay LEFT - I keep tellin' everyone that rock is invisible" - and sure enough, when the right side went up, the left caught enough air to clear that thing without even touching it.

Once the left side came back down - there I was, leaning way to one side, with my driver's door sitting about 4-inches away from the rock ledge, and Joe says "Steer into it."

"WHAT?????"

"Steer INTO it."

I just started laughing -- but I figured 'what the hell - it's only gonna be another dent with a good story to go with it', so I did exactly as I was told - and seconds later I was past it, without even a getting scratch.

Nice spotting, Joe! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />


EDIT...

Zippo posted one:

This was probably my 2nd attempt, before Joe's advice to stay left got me over it.

Smiley, i notice the TSL's before you even posted about it. I was like.. "man, smiley finally got some meat under there" <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/mrt.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" /> I was reading what you wrote about them, how'd you like'em? They kick <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/butwiggle.gif" alt="" />! I love'em! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" /> One of my friends calls them "sh!t grippers" <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />

Looks like I missed a HUGE turn out. Wish I could have came, but as always, timing is right for everyone, which is happens, oh well, next time. And I should be ready by then <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/shiner.gif" alt="" />

Actually I was telling them it wasn't really there. It's just in your head.

I had a great time, no damage to report. The food was awesome both nights. Thanks for a great trip, all that were involved.

No big damage to report. Little tree rubbage on the rain gutters sliced sidewall on the brand new tire itll take a boot to fix it.

We went on a sunday night run when DRaider90 finally showed up. Mike somehow managed to run over a stick and it got wedged between the gas tank and a crossmember. Took 20 minuntes on my back in the mud to get it out then another 10 to get the fuel lines back on that it knocked off. It was a <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/evil.gif" alt="" /> run and shouldn't of gone on it in the rain. Not to mention the Xterra we ran into <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/baby.gif" alt="" />. Thats all I got pictures are still on the camara. Just finished unpacking and demudding the interior of the Raider.

Thanks Smiley and others who pulled this together. Thanks Joe D. for sharing your site with my group. Did it rain on you all? I left Saturday. Also, what was the final count? It seemed like it was the biggest Uwharrie ever. I had 6 in my group. The boys had a great time!

Looking at Erik's 2nd photo, I suppose I could have been a wee-bit off about that 4 inches of clearance between me and that rock...

Looks like it might've been less than THREE <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/scared.gif" alt="" />
