What can I say. It's of myself.

Group pic's.

Last two pictures. Saved these for last. These are from the fun meters. When you got 30 on the Oh, Sh!T Meter, and 1.5 MPG on the over head. You know you're having fun.

Now I just got to figure out my video's.

Hey Guys,

I finally figured out what name I had joined under and then how to post. Just wanted to thank everyone for a fun weekend. The comradery and hospitality were great. Ben and I hope to wheel with you all again.

I picked up my truck last night from having custom sliders fabbed and installed. I will post pics soon.

Welcome aboard, John!

I'm sure everyone who doesn't have rock rails will be interested in pics, where they were done, and how much it cost.

I FINALLY got to spend some quality time with my truck and a pressure washer. I went camping again this weekend, so all my time last week was used prepping for the trip. I towed with mud from RC all over it!

I'm now able to see the extent of the pinstriping. Ouch! I also see that I bent a control arm. Not much, but it's a usable excuse to upgrade.

Now I will try to upload the pics and videos that Brad took. No promises...

Control arm? How did that happen? Rock?

I guess I shouldn't feel too bad with heavy pinstripes ans a gash/dent in front if the passenger rear wheel well. Gives me an excuse to get new wheel well covers like Russ and Mark and a few others have.

I assume from a rock. It's the driver's side lower. It took a hit from below.

I wonder how my nerfs would have made out? I'm thinking its a good thing I didn't go or my truck would be broke....

Vanished, you would have been fine. Both FireRescuePW and myself had our nerfs on and they got beat up but not a lot of damage that couldn't be fixed on the nerfs. The one exception was my rear quarter panel I crunched slightly when coming off a stump in a mud hole but that was my fault. I didn't go right enough and I could have taken an easy path.

I will say we pushed the trucks pretty hard and didn't have a lot of damage and then there was folks who took it a little easier. You would have been fine. We look forward to seeing you on the trails next time. Trust me we all are there to avoid damage and more then willing to guide you down easier paths.

Vanished, X2 what Peter said....the RC trip was the first time I've had mine out to a real off road park. Just some local trails and tank tracks on a Marine base before that. I made it out with a couple bumps to my grille guard and nerfs, plus a busted vapor canister where a tree limb wedged up thru the skid plate underneath....couldn't have predicted that one. Just a million in one shot. Otherwise, my truck came out just fine. I didn't do some of the harder trails, but that was OK by me. My PW is my daily driver and is still pretty new. I don't want to smash my rig up either. All of the guys were great about spotting folks thru rougher parts in order to not sustain damage, or splitting off onto bypasses around the crazy stuff. Definitely come out for the next one! This last trip was an absolute blast and a great bunch of fellow Power Wagon nuts to hang out with!

Hey! Glad you're on here, too! I would definitely like to meet up to get onto some Local stuff, too! Va_Wagon Man...is your rig back in full swing?

Jkann....we'll have to get some time & figure out options in Virginia for our rigs!

Hey, John! Glad you found your way again! I would like to get together with the "locals" as well. I think I am local enough... Can't wait to see pics of your new sliders.

And if you guys plan something, I'm more than likely in! Possibly Chris, too. We can convoy together to VA.

I am game. Do you guys want to try George Washington National Forest? I went down there a while back with a bunch of Jeeps and it was a pretty good time.

I'm always up for wheeling locally. And NO, I'm still waiting on my pump to come in.......:???:

Posted a YES! on the Summer wheeling in Va. Thread. I definitely like the GWNF area....tents, campfires, decent trails, fairly close to home. Good to go!

I think someone at "The Sierra Club" just vapour locked!!!!

[TwinStick]

So, here is my question: Did anybody have issues with their smartbar during or as a result of the water crossings yet ??? Just curious.

Did anyone try to seal theirs up ???

[Powerwagonmark]

No problems. I greased the connections before RC and when we got there I covered everything in fluid film.

[FirerescuePW]

No problem with mine. I cleaned and greased the plug before the trip as well.

[VA_Wagon Man]

No issues here, and my smart bar had PLENTY to drink if it so desired too.
