DavidW Posted May 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 Planning on being there around 10AM! Awesome! I will be there as well - this time I will make it on time so I don't miss everyone! ;-) I am installing my rock slider/steps on Friday, so I am very excited. Which rig are you bringing? -David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavidW Posted May 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 What rock sliders/steps did you purchase? Nigel Hey Nigel, I got the slider/step combo from GN Vehicle Protection (in the UK). They are very similar to the slider/steps available from Voyager. As you know, I don't plan to do any crazy rock crawling or anything, so it's more for looks and some level of protection. Here is a link: http://www.gnvehicleprotection.co.uk/discovery-4-slider-step.html They gave me a great deal because I had purchased my front sump plate. I'll post pictures once I am done and if you are at the May MORG on Saturday you can see in person. -David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll be great to meet you after missing you at Cerrones a couple weeks ago. I don't have a CB radio, but I will be there around 10AM to meet the group. Looking forward to meeting you. -David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFlores Posted May 6, 2012 Report Share Posted May 6, 2012 David how did the MORG go I was the guy that pulled up next to you in the white highlander and waved to you and your wife.

I had wondered who it was in the white highlander that waved. It's so funny how people run into each other sometimes. You thinking my LR4 was Nigel's is a compliment, as he does has an awesome rig. Mine is coming along slowly. The MORG was awesome, though it was a very small turn out.... only Nick and Chuck were there. Still, it was a great time! Take care and hope to see you sometime. -David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Desertcrawler Posted May 7, 2012 Report Share Posted May 7, 2012 Right after you guys left the excitement began. We were driving over to the bottom of truck hill to play in the ravine and got flagged down by a bunch of jeepers with their bikini-clad friends. There was a guy stuck in the waterpit (if you remember the Annual event it was the same place where Frank broke his driveshaft in the D90). They couldn't get him pulled out. Desertcrawler to the rescue! Then it was time to exit. One of the jeeps tried running up the side of the hill -- couldn't make it -- tons of wheel sping. After 2 or 3 more tries and lots on momentum he made it to the top. Then it was my turn to show what aired down tires could do. Chugged right up it in low gear with no wheel spin at all. Then we went over to the gulch. It was pretty washed out and knarly. To the point that I got out to spot Tyler -- and we ended up getting into such a tippy situation that we couldn't get out of we pulled out the winch again. Not to get out -- but just to make sure we didn't tip over! Tyler took some pictures and I will try to post em up. Good time, not a lot of people in the park. We ran our RC cars up truck hil and didn't see anybody.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for talking me into doing a few big boy obstacles, as it was a lot of fun. Each time I go I get a bit more adventurous. I'm still in that baby category - haha! I got some great photos of your rig - will post them now. Nice meeting you! Hopefully the MORG next month will have a few more folks attend. -David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
