If I do get to go, I'll retrace our last ride to look for your lost a-arm guard

I'm in this coming weekend. Just keep me posted if y'all go. Installing a arm guards and snorkeling this week hopefully. Better not get water in my brand new Royal Purple!

Which guards did you go with?

This is short video showing off Joey's cool invention. I'll let him explain it better but basically it's a wash station you can take along with you. No idea what my daughter is going on about. She gets that from her mother is all I can say lol.

Hey @Delton, don't give me the credit. It was your idea, I just put the pieces together.

It's a bilge pump with a cig lighter plug and a hose. I plugged it in and pitched the pump in the creek. It's mainly for washing the window instead of wiping it which could scratch it and washing the seats. I had so much fun with it, I kept washing everything. It's great for hosing the children off before they get in the truck too.

I am ordering today.
Down to the ones you have and the FUTV ones. Looks like both on Ebay could have to me this week. Would get the TA arm guards, but don't like how the fronts don't wrap up around the arm for direct impact protection on the lateral, or outer, side.

It's true what they say... necessity is the mother of all inventions lol.

If you get the S&S like mine, go ahead and use 5/16" bolts and junk the 1/4-20s that come with it. They are way too weak. You'll have to open up the slots in the rear. The U-bolts that come with the front are holding up so far.

Checked the schedule at work and I don't have any overtime slated for next week. Anyone up for a ride Tues through Thurs? Can't go Monday. Wife and I are taking a bike ride down Blue Ridge Pkwy and maybe Deals Gap if we have time.

But We want to ride with you

This is what I've got planned for Monday. Great way to celebrate an old man's birthday. 130 miles and 4 hours.

Nothing I'd like more man. Next time you get a wild hair, pluck it by taking a trip down south.

 

[CumminsPusher]

Me too! We do have fun but I'd love all my friends and family meet! It bugs the crap out of me that all you guys are so far. I apologize for saying something again but dammit

 

[Delton]

If our company will hurry up and leave I can squeeze in some fun. I'm half tempted to just be rude and kick them out lol. I'm loaded and ready to roll!

 

[Delton]

I got in about 3 hours of riding. It's been raining for a while so things were a mess, just the way I like it lol.
This hill is a challenge when dry in 2wd but was impossible today. 4wd got it done but not easily. Don't know if it's obvious in picture, but it is super steep with a couple of turns.

Had to do some trail maint.

This is a really fun technical section but not today. Love my Evos but they don't clean themselves very well. They were packed full of peanut butter goo and couldn't quite get a bite on those larger wet rocks.

Anybody missing an a-arm guard? I slipped in the mud and busted my arse. If I hadn't fell I never would've seen it. So it was just dumb luck lol.

I pulled a Joey and bashed a rock with a center cap. Unlike him, I wasn't able to recover. Guess it'll sit til I get a replacement. NOT!!! Like I care if I only have 3 lmao.

I believe that A-arm guard belongs to @CPope doesn't it @joeymt33 ???
