March 26th - 28th Windrock trip

[cinci]

Kascar put on a great event at Windrock in Oakridge TN. There were approximately 50 trucks at the event with only 5 H2s.

A Small group of about 10 trucks went down a day early to prerun some of the trails on Thursday with every one else showing up Thursday night.

The weather was dry and warm with sunshine most every day. The trails were mostly dry and traction was good. However, they were very challenging with something for every one. We made it through the weekend with only rolling one H1, breaking approximately ten half shafts, axleman correct me if I am wrong, one u-joint, one rear shock and mount on an H2, a clutch fan, a break caliper, two rear windows, and various dents and scratches. In other words we had a blast!!!

I managed to get the first body damage on my truck so it is officially christened.

I want to thank every one that was there for a great time and I am looking forward to going back real soon.

Cincih, THAT's what I call PHOTOSTORY!! Great photos, great captions! Makes my hair rise! How much your damage will cost?

Whos lifted Yellow H2...? Do you know how big the lift is? Love that setup...

H2Finally,

I don't have an estimate on the damage yet, debating whether to fix it or not. It will probably have more company by the end of the year.

sKauGhTiEe,

Ron Shue who owns www.ronshueimports.com (http://www.ronshueimports.com). The tires are 38.5" boggers on 10" rims huge off sets. The lift is by Skyjacker and Ron said it was a 5.5" lift. He runs 40x13.5x17 MTRs as his street tires but said they were a little tippy on the trails. So he went with the 38.5x13.5x16.5 boggers for his off road tires and his wheels are set off almost all the way to the out side. He said there is only about 2-3 inches of rim on the inside. This gives him a wider stance and lest tippy. He also added two extra shocks to the top of each front a-arm to reduce the tendency to tip to the front when going down steep hills.

Phil,

The darn truck is just lazy what can I say http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif. We were going around this nice little tree on a nice easy 30+ degree slop, I think I saw 35 but don't quote me on that, and the truck decided to lean against the tree.

I love the way the rack protects the top of the truck so I wasn't real worried but I forgot that the rack doesn't go all of the way back. Plus I might have been more concerned at the moment with just keeping the rubber pointed down http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif.

Great pics, Cinci -thanks for posting. I got my BFG 37's MT's today, so I won't be sliding into as many muddy ruts in the future [I hope]. My front locker is being installed tomorrow... can't wait to go test 'em out!
