loaded up rdy to go

buzzbomber · 05-04-2012, 12:30 PM

i think everyone else is doing last minute repairs haha. i gotta change a fuel pump on mine this evening and adjust the tv cable on the 700r4

orangenotch · 05-04-2012, 12:47 PM

Cant wait to see that thing in action. Completely different then a rzr/canam. Looks like it would be a wild machine.

midwestracer · 05-04-2012, 01:18 PM

on my zuk i am swapping engine on it on one and doing a frame off build on the other

buzzbomber · 05-04-2012, 01:32 PM

looks like the wheelbase is going to help that thing a ton

midwestracer · 05-04-2012, 01:39 PM

yeah it's kinda like a long travel mini sandrail with 4x4 i really like it need to get some bigger tires but thats down the rode so how far down the river do you think we will make it saturday and get to work on that truck times a burning

orangenotch · 05-04-2012, 01:46 PM

The plans really to make it to raymond. Going to take a while and make new trails, find new places, bullshit. It will take a little while with as many people thats going and trying new stuff. Raymond to Alden is around 20 miles of river? thats down the trails anyways.

midwestracer · 05-04-2012, 01:53 PM

sounds good from there are we all heading back down river or back roads to alden or should i try and figure out how to get sxs back to trailer

orangenotch · 05-04-2012, 02:00 PM

you'll be ok going down backroads back but i imagine we'll most likely head back down the trails/river

buzzbomber · 05-05-2012, 06:44 AM

1:00pm south alden bridge. see ya there

buzzbomber · 05-07-2012, 06:49 AM

had a blast even with sheering a 28 spline corporate 10bolt axle in half when i tried climbing a tree on top of a hill when vertical. upgrading to a 14ff. definitely have another in the planning stage. pics/video coming soon

KungFooMASTA · 05-07-2012, 08:14 AM

10 bolts bring teh suck. Why would you want to run anything bigger than a 27x8.50 with a 10 bolt offroad. JK.

buzzbomber · 05-07-2012, 09:17 AM

dont honestly know how it lasted the 2yrs it did.

buzzbomber · 05-08-2012, 02:43 PM

few pics from saturday. phones were dead and i broke an axle so didnt get any from sunday. was a blast!

KungFooMASTA · 05-08-2012, 04:54 PM

Lots of fullsize rigs there. How many people/trucks made it all together.

buzzbomber · 05-08-2012, 05:03 PM

I believe around 30 total trucks, quads, and side by sides.

socaldmax · 05-15-2012, 07:56 PM

How did the wildcat do?

Did you guys make it as far as radium?

orangenotch · 05-16-2012, 06:50 AM

Ive been from pawnee rock all the way to sterling down the river. This trip we just went from alden to raymond and back.

The wildcat broke a belt about half way in.

midwestracer · 05-17-2012, 06:25 PM

Yeah i burned a belt up half way going to always carry a spare from now on

buzzbomber · 05-18-2012, 07:00 AM

you broke it actually pretty close to the same spot i broke my axle

buzzbomber · 05-18-2012, 01:53 PM
