Shoe Creek Run 9-14-03

[Ledford73]

Hey Everyone,

I just have to throw a shout out to Ben for setting up this run and for being so patient with us new guys and girls. Ben you are a great spotter and I look forward to trailing with you again soon. As for Ms. Mellisa, Awsome job in the Rock Garden. Between you and Chris that was definitly the highlight of my day. We had a great time with all of you out there and I know I learned alot. A few more meetings and I think I will just have to become a member of Tidewater Four Wheelers. Thanks again Ben...I had a BLAST.

Thanks to all that came out and enjoyed themselves Sunday. I had a great time getting the under and over experienced through the trails, and to those that helped me out a couple times too. WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THE TRAIL GUIDE'S JEEP IS STUCK!!! hahahah. Well pic are worth a thousand words but to sum up some of the action: One bent lower control arm, the use of two winchs(not at the same time), many rear diffs and gas tanks with rock rash, as well as other components under the jeeps with rock rash, for me a rear drive shaft, shock mounts, tie rod, leaf springs, and anything without a skidplate Well now time to get the jeep ready for the annual run. Anyone with a set of used 33 MTR's want to sell or trade for some 32 SX's ? See you all then. BEN

Ben,
if you decide to sell those SX's i might be able to help you out, those run a little taller than a true 32" correct?
thanks for being the trail guide yesterday, too bad the trail is three hours away, but it was a nice drive up there and back, i am definately in for the next one!

Talkn tires, I think the SX's are smaller than advertised sizes, 32 being 31. something. or maybe even 30. something. I think its the TSL's that run at or above advertised price. Im just thinking that it might be nice to run a tire that isn't as heavy and the MTR's seemed to KICK BUTT on the trail this past weekend. Ill keep ya posted on my tire decisions. BEN

[my95yj]

HA,
I was thinking just the opposite ;D seemed like I couldnt' get mine to clean......probably just because I am so silly heavy, oh well.....

Wow!!! You sure the run was at Shoe Creek? That is a lot of scares and wounds. Sounds more like a weekend up at Gore....glad everyone had a great time, maybe next time but no snow.
