Wharton Trip turned SAS Discussion

[irishboy02]

Was a lonesome trip. I drove 2hr 20min and no one showed.

I hit some little trails by myself, wasnt going to completely waste the day. Water table was pretty high, snowed towards the end. Wheeled for about 4hrs. No pictures were taken, wasnt even worth it. Kinda pissed.

To top it off, might have broken something in the rear diff/axle/hub area and i didnt even come off fireroads. Need to get it looked at to figure out the exact issue.

Awesome day

[foosh]

It appeared to be in hub, so we're thinkning its the bearing, but as soon as we noticed that we stopped for the day. Still Where was everyone?

[MrSmithsTB]

You guys were advised as to my troubles. Sorry I couldn't make it. And sorry I didn't contact you earlier. Left my phone in the Explorer during the brake job. Mighty pissed I was as well If anyone of going to the OS MidAtlantic meet next weekend, maybe we head there early and catch some trails beforehand? Just a thought.

[foosh]

Kinda mad, you can no longer get the trail maps at atison... only batsto....

[irishboy02]

Yea that did suck.

Was a waste of a day, mileage and solid chunk of change. Let alone the bill for my new wheel bearing(s)
Guess some people are happy about the outcome though unfortunately. Guess thats just the way the cookie crumbles

[Gordinho80]

Ouch... that sucks. Sorry guys.

[foosh]

Its part of wheelin... unfortunately.

You said it was your rear, right? At least it's not your fronts. Those suckers are expensive as hell.

[HOTRODSURFER]

no one showed? wtf?i posted in the planning thread i could not make it -i would have loved to hit the trails on saturday insted of working

[trailblazzin69]

WOW your nuts it was way to cold to go off roading the other day and the rain/snow was bad and plus you went by yourself.Theres no way I would do that.Well maybe when I had my jeep but not in my tb.It always gets stuck and I always need my jeep buddys to pull me out.But that will change soon.

[foosh]

Yes unfortunately when you go alone you run that risk, I was with IrishBoy02, Brendan, and between the highlight and recovery straps theirs not much i wouldn't get him out of, worst comes to worst we'd have to wait for the next truck to come along.

[Trail X]

What's a 'highlight'?

Did you forget the -ER?

[MrSmithsTB]

Teehee, James.

Too cold? I'd rather wheel in a sealed SUV with the heat on when it's cold then a Jeep. If it comes down to temp, you probably aren't serious about off roading anyway.

..If it comes down to temp, you probably aren't serious about off roading anyway.

It's hilarious to read east coasters discuss "serious" offroading.

[MrSmithsTB]

Zing!

We don't all have the same backyard

[foosh]

Very true some of us has very little compared to that of Roadie and his gang of followers.

That was a brain fart...HiLift***

[HARDTRAILZ]

Glad you guys out at least a little bit. Dont worry about negative Nancy, just work with what you got and enjoy it. That is what is important. It was a bit too far for me to get there, but maybe one day when I get a year off I can take a bunch of trips.

[The Roadie]

Don't take anything I say seriously, you know.......it's all in the spirit of a good burn.

[HARDTRAILZ]

I know. I am just jealous of your closeness to the trails I see in the magazines.
