WHAT A RIDE!!!

With all of the bad things that happened I sure enjoyed this day with all of you!

For those that didnt make it you sure missed out!

~Roll over~broken stearing box~body damage~skid plates ripped off~etc~

pix and video to follow......

Yes, what a great day. Even with all that happened... got some great video, just a few photos

Machines started out clean...

Some tight areas

Our fearless leader

Oops... there goes the S (my first roll BTW)

Broken steering box :cry:

Ryan handled it much better than the photo shows

We arrived at 10 am and pulled out about 9:30 pm. We were able to hold 1 tie rod in to the steering box with a strap, but had to constantly re-adjust. Removed other shock, tied the suspension up, and basically let the wheel float. Ruth drove the Rhino backwards, with partial 1 wheel steering and the rest of us hanging on and helping steer by pushing it around. But got the 2 1/2 legged Rhino over some serious obstacles and out of the canyon. What a great team effort, there is no one I would rather ride with. Thanks for a fun a fun and memorable day!

Thanks for the pix Brad! We did work well together and was very glad we had as many rigs as we did. Im glad I didnt attempt this one on my own and I would have tried. Ruth did do a great job driving the injured rhino back down. She was happy to see the road! Chinese was great after as well.

I have a short "part one" video that I will be posting up within the hour. Part two may take a week or so since I need to get footage from everyone else.

I cant wait to do this ride again!

Jared, I will get my clips and pics to you tomorrow. Check on my Muzzy complete system, the sooner the better.

Thanks to our driver Ruth and the crew for helping get the Rhino out. I can sleep tonight knowing my parts lists isn't as pricy as first thought. Now it's getting everything back together quick.

MR. KRYPTONITE · 2009-09-13 22:05:42

Sounds good, thanks for the pix and clips Ryan... I will call you tomorrow on the Muzzy. Let me know if I can help with anything else.

Jared,
The POV video clips are on the way.
Here is a preview...

mbroyles · 2009-09-15 11:15:39

great photos and vids guys. Thanks for sharing!

RANGERDALEXP · 2009-09-15 14:26:46

I am not sure if i would attempt this in my Ranger Xp. Those trails are real narrow and i could not afford to repair all the body damage at this time in my life. The disadvantage of have a limited edition model. Good Job Guys on what looks like a real technical and outstanding ride .

Badley · 2009-09-15 15:10:13

Jared, my disk is on the way! Can't wait to see the next video

MR. KRYPTONITE · 2009-09-17 22:53:14

Looking forward to the POV clips.

RANGERDALEXP, your XP would do fine. If ridden corectly you could get by with very little damage.

Got your disk today Brad! Thanks for sending it.

I would like to get the video done Sunday but still waiting on the other slackers footage.

zrated · 2009-09-19 15:00:20

Jared,

Did you get the POV clips?

MR. KRYPTONITE · 2009-09-20 11:45:23

Jared,
Did you get the POV clips?

Yes, got them yesterday. I "plan" to get the other video done today.

Thanks guys!
