DHappel Posted March 6, 2015 Report Share Posted March 6, 2015 I'm not sure if I should be bummed that I don't get the bonus points or happy I'm not old enough to get the reference? -Jared TCR - Total Control Racing!http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Total_Control_Racing Basically a 'slotless' slot car set up that had a slow moving car you had to pass - the 'jam car'. Ours lived in the attic above the garage. You know, exactly where you want to send your kids when it's already a 90*+ summer out... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to look it up and I KNOW I'm old enough to get that reference because Santa brought plenty of AFX & Tyco stuff back in the day... I just didn't know what a Jam car was, because I had the slot car with the pin to keep it in lane. -Jared Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRover Posted March 6, 2015 Report Share Posted March 6, 2015 By the way, still in on the idea of this trip -- since I'm already committed to so many other trips, I'll just wait until the date lands. I think I'd like to get rock sliders on RedRover before something like this. -Jared Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeremyP Posted March 7, 2015 Report Share Posted March 7, 2015 Man, you guys need to live in the moment a little and quit booking up weekends! You are talking about weekends up to 3 months away! I mean, who does that?!?!? Oh, I'm out for the month of June. My weekends are booked On a serious note, I'm in for April or May pretty much any weekend except for the 3 day weekend in March. 1995 Range Rover LWB 300tdi1986 Defender 110 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Pedram Posted March 7, 2015 Report Share Posted March 7, 2015 It's funny how Nick was really asking about next year but you guys are planning your own. At Slick Rock, but I have to say everyone can do the first or last 2/3 of the trail (depending which side you start on). When you cross the river in your Rover you get to a set of bolders. Then your either forced to go up or down it. I can say this part is the hardest. It's also called the gate keeper. I wouldn't take any stock trucks up it without a good spotter. There isn't a really good bypass for that part. If you have rock protection then your in better luck of getting out without damage. It's been a few years since I've been there, but I did drive my GMC through the first half and parked it at the waterfalls area. It's a very nice trail for most of these trucks. I would say great choice of trip for everyone. I'll definitely be interested in this trip. Thanks for the thread Nick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ndamico Posted March 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2015 Hopefully i can get the approval to buy and older rrc by then. I am a little concerned about beating up the lr4 too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
astateofmike Posted March 8, 2015 Report Share Posted March 8, 2015 Hopefully i can get the approval to buy and older rrc by then. I am a little concerned about beating up the lr4 too much. Ok, as the owner of a RRC and on behalf of all of us RRC owners...we approve. Now go buy one. You may point me out to the wife at a later date and say "Talk to Mike, he made me do it".... You can ask others, they will back that I am a bad influence.

Ok, I give you permission. "Talk to Mike, he made me do it".. http://sacramento.craigslist.org/cto/4921918865.html hmmm http://orangecounty.craigslist.org/cto/4917659967.html this seems familiar?...I am not sure about the penthouse deck...do I have to take that too?

RedRover Posted March 10, 2015 Report Share Posted March 10, 2015 Hi Don, this was mentioned prior to the switchover. The new forum doesn't use the [sIGPIC] bbcode tag, so you will need to re-import a photo. -Jared Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
