TM 6/7/09 LT, Conda, DS, and Pred with AZYJ and crew...
#1
Well guys, I had a great time. Table Mesa at sun-up on Sunday, June 7th.

AZYJ set this run up for him, his boy, a friend, and whomever else wanted to run. Showboat and I took him up on it. Flexy was at church, so he couldn't make it.

River is down, so here are the four of the five rigs that ran..



We started the day on Lower Term as the sun was coming up...





Friggin' Jeeps Everywhere!!!







White line added some brown lines to shorts...





#2




Everyone but me ran an alternate line on Z-Turn to great success













#3
I ran a more traditional line on Z-Turn







Friggin' Jeeps...











Steve (AZYJ) hitting it big on the last obstacle

#4






Others tried... (I did not... so I can't make fun here. )



Geoff Succeeded...









#5
Now... SOMEONE told Showboat the grocery store was THIS way...

(everyone is aware the Geoff's a stud, though, right?)















and on to Anaconda



Not many pics here because I decided to tear up an axle shaft... be talkin to you soon, Joe.

#6




No, this is not a new toy for Jack... after shaft was pulled, stuffed this sock and plastic bag gadget into the axle tube to keep fluid from spilling out while I drove home on 3WD, backwards, down Anaconda.



Random desert photo since I was out of commission and pissed...



I rode Biotch on DS with Steve's son Steve Jr (Thanks man! I appreciated the seat!!!), but only got a pic of Showboat on fall three... thinking of other things beside pictures at this point...



I, however, had a GREAT time and really enjoyed wheelin' will all who went, but especially meeting AZYJ. If you get a chance to wheel with this dude, do it.

The rest of the guys ran predator, but since I'm whipped and out past my wheelin' time, I had to go home.

Great time all and thanks! Geoff, or someone is going to have to fill in the Predator pics, since I missed that part.

I do wish that Bob, Dana, Jon, Paul, Mike,Chris, Jack, Rob, and everyone... had been there. I really enjoy wheelin' with you guys, but I've got to tell you, Steve is a class act and someone worth wheelin' with. Great guy on the trail and it was nice to meet him. Reminds me of Bob in his willingness to help and his eternal trail patience. Just an overall great guy.

Nice job on photos :cool)

So the 30 gave up the ghost huh? Named obstacle or just random rocky roughness?

That optional optional line Geoff is on looks crazy! Nice work on the driving and the build man.

Random rocky roughness between the first and second falls on 'conda (the second fall being the one where you really have to hug left that took out my roof rack last time) Geoff and I both heard it go pop. I was tail gunning, got hung up, and maybe used a little too much skinny pedal to get out. :red|

We had a GREAT time, though. Always such a pleasure to run with Geoff. Mike - thanks for letting me take your high lift. Told you the first time I didn't have mine I would need it, and I DID!

I'm going to see if Superior will replace the shaft under warranty. I think I actually have the receipt from when the guy I bought it from upgraded to them.

Good times! If it was the Ujoint that killed the shaft you are going to have a hard time getting them to replace it from what I have seen... I hope they do!

Short side 30? I may have something that will work for replacement... Let me see...

Never mind.... I had yukon
