: Who's coming to the National Rally?
I know we've got a sticky but it doesn't really say who from this board is coming. Just curious who's headed to Montrose in a few weeks. Yes I said a few weeks... BTW, the deadline for registration without a penalty is this Friday.
I'm in. See you there. My cell is 719-648-2545. I am coming in on Wednesday the 15th. I have a 3:00 appointment for work, then I am free to play. (AKA, I am now writing off the majority of my trip...lol).
Way
Jtisdale 07-17-2007, 11:00 AM I'm pretty sure I paid already (I have a brain tumor remember), if it is OK with the powers that be (LWG) someone can have my registration.

Keith Armstrong 07-17-2007, 11:08 AM a) Tis, good to see you typing.
b) We'll be there Wednesday afternoon sometime. Just me and the boss, oops, my lovely wife this year. :)

We can work that out. You can also get a refund as well.
darkstar 07-17-2007, 01:35 PM we'll be there, looking forward to it.
rock90 07-17-2007, 01:51 PM I will be there Wed evening. Anybody interested in running Carnage Canyon
in BV. I might run it Mon or wed of that week. It is a good trail to shake out
you rig and make sure nothing is wrong before the rally

revor 07-17-2007, 01:52 PM Nice to see the words Tis!!!!
Rallye? Crap I guess if I'm a sponsor I should go... Hey larry as a sponsor I get a free rider don't I?
I'll be going out on the 11th to muck about in Moab for a couple days and then off to Juntion for a day and a half then down to Montrose.
Bobby said he'd like to come again this year too..
Cirbo 07-17-2007, 03:23 PM I'll be poking around the trails in the southwest corner of the state for a few days before the rally, then checking in to the Best Western on the 15th.
Salida, Pagosa Springs, Durango, and Ouray are on the list.
Serious One 07-17-2007, 04:36 PM We can work that out. You can also get a refund as well.
Send him a t-shirt with that refund. I'll pay for it.
Tis...get better man. Nice to see you web-wheelin' at least. :flipoff2:
EDIT: I can't come to the rallye unless you guarantee me a helicopter ride. :laughing:
Jtisdale 07-17-2007, 05:42 PM Thanks guys, you can just apply it to next year's event Larry.

Now if that isn't a reason to beat a brain tumor nothing is!
You better send him that shirt anyway Larry. Lemme know how much it is. Oh yeah, smear some Moab dirt on it first. If he can't get to the rally, the rally can get to him.
Michele 07-18-2007, 03:08 AM Assuming Keith doesn't forget to pick me up at the airport I'll be there

it's just a 1 day trip by plane

If that's Grand Junction, you can ride in the back of my truck. I'll be there picking up a friend around noon on the 15th.
Michele 07-18-2007, 06:41 AM Hey Jim,
thanks for the offer :beer:
I'll arrive well before the Rally, on the 10th, this will be my summer holiday.
Denver airport.
I should check Keith's driving skills most of the time :D
but I'd love to hitch a ride in different trucks, it's going to be a true experience for me.
I will take a lot of pics...
:smokin:
Cirbo 07-18-2007, 06:53 AM I know I need help. Going to a Tdi and an automatic at the same time was a little much. I'm still pushing for a clutch pedal and reaching for a shifter that aren't there.
Michele 07-18-2007, 07:46 AM Don't you just love the little Tdi :)
Cirbo 07-19-2007, 08:38 AM Still getting used to it, but the early returns are all positive.

Thanks Slade, if it shows up without some red dirt from Moab I'll just wipe it across my dash which is still covered with Moab dirt from two years ago. I expect lots of photo coverage to help me through that week.

tripm 07-19-2007, 11:30 AM I mentioned to my wife that since Roverfest was canceled, I could go to 'the other rover event'. I was joking with her, then she said 'I have miles, find a flight.'
Unfortunately, my truck won't fit in carry on.
RPR, are you heading out??

I guarantee you we can find you a seat each day. Also, let us know if your thinking about flying into either DIA or Grand Junction, we can probably hook you up with a ride to Montrose as well. If you end up doing this post something over on the www.solihullsociety.org forum. Lots of traffic there and should find someone to help out. I'd offer but I'm headed out the Friday before the rally.
revor 07-19-2007, 09:18 PM That is correct. As long as you pay for the sponsorship that is ;)
I gotta do that don't I?

But! I will be in Moab Aug 10,11,12 if anyone is planning on hitting that up.

You also want a pickle tank. I would have sent you that one too, but it had cracked somehow-probably got knocked over by a raccoon.
I only used the two stage. Preclean with brake solvent, pickle in HCl and right into the parkerizing solution.
Worked really well for me.
rtiqulatendisco 07-29-2007, 06:07 PM I am trying to go. I have not signed up yet since I am not 100% sure my backordered parts for the broken toyota diff will get to Kieth in time.
Keith, will you be passing my house in Vail on the way to the rally/moab??? Maybe I can buy you dinner at my restaurant if you can drop the chunk off?

Get your junk together so we can go break it again in Moab! :flipoff2:
revor 07-30-2007, 08:26 AM Moab all winter long! We'll make up for lost time James!
At this point I am so behind I'm not sure I could touch another project, I'll try if I get the parts!
I'll likely take you up on a Meal! We should be passing through the evening of the 11th!
Now that Farka has blown up his truck and Karen keeps giving me that "look" for not working on the Short Bus I'll be needing a peacful moment at a fine resturant. I'll even bring a nice set of clothes (think anyone would complain if we changed in the parking lot?)
I at least had a moment to put my new LGI Skidplate on!!
krazz1e 07-30-2007, 10:56 AM ohhh lane can be fixed in a jiffy. weled 4 cyl diff and a pile a poo and he will be ready to go.. it's up to him though :D
darkstar 07-30-2007, 11:21 AM I already put some pressure on him this morning!
rtiqulatendisco 07-30-2007, 12:01 PM Keith,
If you can get it done in time, I will be working that night so I can make that dinner happen. Talked to inchworm today and you will have the parts by Friday at the latest. If you don't have time, let me know so I can make other arrangements. Maybe drop it off at Slee if need be.
I already put some pressure on him this morning!
I suspect many of us are putting a little pressure on him right now!
Lane, Get your junk running. No excuses!

Shoot me an email and I will take care of it.

mightymg1 07-31-2007, 06:47 AM Holy Crap Lane! What the hell happened?
This happened 300 yards from the end af a REALLY HARD trail we ran this weekend, no breakage all day untill this, and it was a DOOSEY!
The 30 spline held up amazing I was pounding on it!!:smokin:
Total carnage,
Rockware links sheared off on both sides, after the welds, causing the axles to flip under the truck breaking one fox shox, both links, bent my frame ear for the link, and it sheared my pinion off inside the flange, ohh and my exaust got its ass kicked! time for heims and 2.5 shocks ..:flipoff2:
Nomar 07-31-2007, 02:18 PM I am just curious to see how the moonshine makes it through security. :laughing::laughing:

DChapman 08-01-2007, 08:54 PM I had basically the samething happen, Lane. Except, I stopped before it went too far.
One of the shafts on the JJ snapped. 1" cold roll, threaded 18 count.
http://www.virginia4x4.org/gallery/albums/userpics/10001/Dictum%20009.jpg
I slipped a big nut over the break and welded everything back up. I then used the winch to re-locate the axle.

krazz1e 08-02-2007, 08:52 AM shit Dan you carry a portable welder?

It's an RTE arm, but I machined the parts for the JJ.
DChapman 08-02-2007, 01:26 PM Lane,
What Drive shaft are you running? I've snapped two stock shafts my last two trips. I was going to toss in a T-woods with 1310 UJ's, but now I'm thinking of going right to a 1350 and be done. I understand Arizona can make this happpen...

Will this be your first trip wheeling in the west? If so, you'll never want to wheel back east again!!! Just ask SCSL.
Keith Armstrong 08-02-2007, 04:09 PM Man, I hate it whan Larry's right. :smokin:
DChapman 08-02-2007, 04:29 PM LOL, I think SCSL has two faces. He says the opposite when he's with us.
Yes, this will be my first trip out west. I'm trying to come back with my truck in September, but it's not final, yet. Trying to do a two week tour... First stop in the Badlands and making a full circle from Moab back to Windrock hitting various areas in between.
krazz1e 08-02-2007, 04:32 PM what days are you arriving Dan?
Sept-Down to Moab? I am planning a run in mid sept down there if you are interested.
DChapman 08-02-2007, 09:47 PM what days are you arriving Dan?
Sept-Down to Moab? I am planning a run in mid sept down there if you are interested.
I'll and at like noon on the 15th (I think, I need to find my schedule), and I fly out the 19th.
In Sept, I'm trying to make sh*t happen. Looking a little dull right now, but I just hired a new person. So, I may be able to sneek away for a few weeks if he catches on. If not, I'll be there once the snow melts a little.
rtiqulatendisco 08-02-2007, 10:17 PM I can pick you up.
DChapman 08-02-2007, 10:36 PM I can pick you up.
I'm not sure I trust your truck after you've worked on it your self.

You just don't like getting dirty.
ME, VA, NC, GA, and FL have some great wheeling. As do HI and WA. Hell this is the first place I have ever lived where you don't need to spend hours after the trip washing off mud.
Mud can be fun. It definately provides a dynamic, changing surface that makes every single trip different. Can't say that about rocks.

Bingo! I've always said if I had to move where the only wheeling was in mud, I'd be giving up wheeling... Mud Sucks!

lane got his truck out, now the repairs begin.
DChapman 08-03-2007, 09:45 AM I hate mud! I get my yearly dose of it at MAR....course, that's about to change.
Paragon did not have a lot of mud and neither does Raush Creek. Sure, you can find it at those places, but why...???
Tellico is just silly. It's not mud, but a gooey slim that covers everything. Top that with the rock that are slick as glass and sharp, and you have a very difficult place to wheel.
Windrock has a little mud if you want it, but you can spend all day long on the Rattle Rock trail and travel about 1/4 mile. Who cares about mud then...???
The list goes on....
You can find all the mud you want around here, but we have a lot more than just mud.
PTSchram 08-04-2007, 10:25 AM Bingo! I've always said if I had to move where the only wheeling was in mud, I'd be giving up wheeling... Mud Sucks!
I'd just like to live somewhere (again:flipoff2:) where there IS wheeling. Indiana SUCKS!

Been there, done that.
Same with Redbird, but there seems to be more carnage when wheeling at Redbird.
Neither place is very pretty.

aloharover 08-06-2007, 07:11 AM There is BLM land east and west of town. I bet if you head east and up onto the Gunisson Canyon rim you could find a pretty sweet spot to set up a tent.
If you are in town Weds and not out wheeling. Some of us are going to meet up at the Red Arrow (Rally HQ) at noon and then head out to BLM land and find a spot to blow off some ammo :D

OK, now I understand. When we had the gun shop, we had to work on a MAC-10 and only had the receiver (which in the infinite wisdom of the BATFags constitutes possessing the entire weapon), but not the paperwork. My father was quite scared by the entire ordeal and we never had even parts to select fire guns on site thereafter. Made my work for the drug control task force much less lucrative.
DChapman 08-06-2007, 02:43 PM If we go, .

rtiqulatendisco 08-07-2007, 01:04 AM Double whammy was easy. Nothing happened there. The other side spur obstacle killed me.

No sh*t man, if you need the parts shipped to you to make the trip, I can bum you some 3" RTE rear links and other "stuff" to get you rolling.

Do you really need an answer to this question????? Everybody bring something to break!!!! I've got an old 24-spline axles you can sacrifice... Seriously! Someone can drag out a 10-spliner. It would be cool to get some data on Rover junk.

revor 08-09-2007, 07:34 AM Short Side Disco shafts and CV's..24 spline.. Bobby has the flanges and stuff to make those break..
Longfield 08-09-2007, 08:23 AM Short Side Disco shafts and CV's..24 spline.. Bobby has the flanges and stuff to make those break..
Yes we only have the jigs for the 24 spline that you give us.
DChapman 08-09-2007, 08:46 AM I know y'all will give me a lot of crap for saying it, but I'd like to see a 1-year old longfield birf vs a 1-year old D-60 (30 or 35 spline). Of course the UJ will break in the 60 first, and a CTM is too much $$ to break, but maybe a steel pin could be made to act as the UJ...
Bobby, did you get those other two 30-spline CV's back from Jeremy yet? Were those "installed wrong" too?;)
krazz1e 08-09-2007, 09:54 AM I was talking to Keith about bringing the axle testing machine, what do you think?:smokin:
someone call GBR and have him bring a set of his new HD Cv's. Great opportunity!
So Bobby, I broke a roverlong innershaft right at the splines entering the CV. I was surprise it didn't break in the middle of the shaft or on the diff side. What if this was up to 30 spline on that end, do you think it would be any stronger? We could bore out the spindles to fit a bigger shaft.... or is it just polishing a turd and at that point go with the 30 toy longs with 30 spline ends at the diff too?

Yes we have already tested them like that at the Hammers, not much differents between the new and used one.
I'm not sure if they sent it to us and its broke we will replace it, and you know we even replace them when they are installed wrong.:smokin:

If you broke our inner shaft send it back and we will replace it. We throught about makeing the inner shaft 30 spline in the birf but the next weak point would be at the outer stub witch would cost more to replace and could kill the spindle.

Keith took care of me already, thanks!
DChapman 08-09-2007, 09:52 PM Anyone contact GRB/Bill or Thom about getting one of their CV's? Would Rockford give one up? How about Dave?
I wonder if my warrenty covers "breaking machine" breakage....

Bill screens my calls so I can't call him... On your warrenty question, hell why not! It's halfway between the mall and the trail so it's fair game!! Though he wouldn't be happy to replace them.
I once heard a story about Bill not warrantying his old CV's even though the warranty comes from rockford, eventually this person got a replacement directly from rockford no problem.... this is 3rd party info so I can't verify it but it comes from a good source.
Bill should be at the rally.
aloharover 08-12-2007, 10:32 AM Bill should be at the rally.
Really?
I know someone else from his shop registered, but didn't see his name

Justin; just so you know. GBR doesn't even have caller ID. And Shawn's the office manager. So Bill isn't screening your calls. Bill just focuses his energy on productive endeavours, Not wasting his time on negatives.
1861SC 08-19-2007, 08:44 AM Pics should be up in a couple days. The Montrose trails live up to their names. Lots of carnage over the last few days. Best trail repair so far- weld together a sheered sector shaft on trail (3 hrs). "Die trying", "CactusII", and "Topless" have an endless bombartament of rolling boulders jutting can- openers and rocks the size of your truck. You don't ever get a break on these trails. Larry and his sulihull team put on a excellent event. JP

The Rally was a screaming succes. Thanks to all of our Sponsors, Vendors, and Staff.
It was great to meet so many of you.
I am glad that so many people were able to make the Rally.
Final count was 176 Vehicles (1 Pinzi)
Ok now to start planing next year :D

We had a good time to. It's always fun meeting lots of new wheelers. Yes we always like breaking parts outside the rig.
Oh man! I missed a good bashing thread of GBR! I'm super bummed. I should log in more often. Is it too late to start a thread called "Bill Davis the GBR Liar"...lol.
Ralley was super fun. I saw tons of people giving the longfield set-ups absolute hell with NO breakage. I was blown away. I thought it was more GBR hype until I saw it with my own eyes!

Did you leave your rig at home...I noticed several trucks on their side but none that resembled yours.

Missed you out there Tis.
Montrose needs you and I to come back.
Jtisdale 08-22-2007, 02:17 PM put your monkey bars on and I will meet you out there.
Seriously though, I hope to be making some stops along the tumor tour in Las Cruces for the CC and maybe we could hook up in CO and hit some Montrose action too? Too early for you to be committing to events? Clear out your voicemail or answer your phone while I'm hounding you.

I'm up for a Tumor Tour. Las Cruces sounds pretty good to me. Definitely need more time in Montrose. You would absolutely love the trails out there, and plenty for 5 solid days of wheeling as well.

I'm game... I love the area, we ran topless and scratch & dent a few years ago. Last time I was there we spent a half day looking for Die Trying with directions from the local 4x4 shop, ended up running S&D again.
The pictures look great, I hate I missed the trip but I'm glad you guys had fun. Lots of trucks on their sides?
