There are a few of us planning to be there. This will be our first time at MM, but it looks like a cool place.

donkeystompit · 02-14-2007, 03:01 PM

I'm there!

draggbody · 02-28-2007, 04:38 AM

is there another thread on pBB about this??? i heard alot of people were refering to the "CRAWL" ride, but no luck on the search....

donkeystompit · 02-28-2007, 05:36 PM

I read somewhere else about it, but not sure where. Seems since crawl committed to covering it people started calling it the crawl ride. You going?

draggbody · 02-28-2007, 05:56 PM

i'll be there... talkin' shit, and takin' names....

dr hook · 03-14-2007, 06:31 AM

Bump, I was just wonderin how many people from here were gonna be at Morris Mtn this coming weekend. If you see a one armed guy in a silver Jeep, that will be me

oh, and the tag says "DR HOOK". If anyone sees me, give me a shout.

donkeystompit · 03-14-2007, 05:50 PM

I am packing my bags right now actually. See ya there.

GAredClaYJ · 03-18-2007, 12:43 PM

Who all went? I rode with a bunch of friends...chopped/tubed zj, white fj40, sammy, bobbed s10, and another zj.

Who was the orange buggy that was tearin it up the donuts and had a little hydraulic fire?...badass

dr hook · 03-19-2007, 10:15 AM

I was there...heres my rig:

If you saw the orange buggy doin the donuts you probably saw me doing the hour-long recovery of the big black Ford with the front wheel broken off.

I'm guessing you were with the "Georgia Rock Rods" crew?

95ckee · 03-19-2007, 07:37 PM

the orange buggy was probally wes kein (guess i spelled it right) from chattanooga. he is always up on aetna mountain in chattanooga. he rides with some pretty badass buggys. if you like long steep hills thats the place to go

GAredClaYJ · 03-19-2007, 08:01 PM

No, I was with some guys from Atlanta and Tennesee. What all did that big ford break?
I had just as much fun watching everybody doing stupid stuff around that watercrossing as I did on the trail...alcohol and big horsepower are fun.

youngbuk · 03-19-2007, 09:30 PM

did anybody get any video of the dounuts and cyclones going on in the mudhole area?

dr hook · 03-20-2007, 07:32 AM

The big Ford sheared off both ball joints, and sheared 2 ears off of the u-joint. The entire spindle was still attached to the wheel.

Seanzy · 03-22-2007, 05:46 AM

Here is a highlights video my buddy made of the trip. It has both the donut fest and the broken ford in it.

Pretty sure the ford had D44 in the front w/44 Boggers. The ball joints just popped apart and the shaft followed. I wouldn't expect anything else to happen.

swamp donkey · 03-22-2007, 08:10 PM

sean....cool vid. i remember ya'll from the rock garden when your buddy in the red S-10 broke his right WARN PREMIUM hub.

looks like ya'll got your moneys worth!!!

Seanzy · 03-23-2007, 05:52 AM

Yeah, that was me that broke the Warn premium. They are becoming a problem in our circle. Looks like drive flanges are in order. Were you the guy in the white TJ?

scatterbrain · 03-23-2007, 05:57 AM

breaking a warn premium is like waking up in the morning; drive flanges are definetly the only way to go
