SGU Turkey Run 2018

I only took two photos on my phone - Emma takes better pics than me anyhow

This one sums up the trip though pretty well

 

Was waiting for that one...

 

5th leg?! Or kickstand?

 

great pics !..can't beat the West for overlanding

 

Sausage fest?

 

ass fest ?

 

Chorizo fest?

 

Sunday's video

 

we need an AAR: what worked and what didn't.

 

Did you tag that fender???

 

Yeah. Some how it happened when I got the flat with my bent rim on Saturday.

Front fender was done at Buck Lake a few months ago though

 

So, you're sayin' you were just hangin' out? LOL It was nice meeting you both.

 

Make sure your RTT is on securely and reinforce the tracks. Couple fucking hours after talking to Alex about it mine pinwheeled.

 

WTH happened to your spare? Its just hanging and the bar is bent.

 

Yeah, that idea was never gonna work. But, he doesn't like to take advice so I quit trying to help.

 

Great pictures!
I want to tag along!
Wondering what the temperature got down to at nite? Do you just use the below freezing rated sleeping bags? I so want to try the RTT out in colder weather

 

The water in a Waterport froze the first night. I had a 0* bag and was fine. Next night I was too warm which for me is better than cold

 

Cool!! I wondered how those sleeping bags would do ! Thanks

 

The last trip I took with my RTT on the dang thing fell apart on me from hardware coming apart.

 

How was the last day? Looks like you guys got some good wheeling in

 

Mine fell apart also after the second trip, had to replace every piece of hardware before this past weekend.

 

Not so good. Got a flat leaving the amphitheater and had another tire with a huge blister. Then I hit a rock really hard at speed and bent something pretty bad. I know I bent a cam tab for sure but I think I might’ve bent something else. Had to hit an alignment shop just to get the truck home. Dan lost his rear resi off his ADS. And we had one RTT doing cartwheels down the trail. Lol. So we hit Steele Pass and just camped at the springs and left in the morning.

 

What? That dusty, sandy shit wasn't fun as hell? It was darker in that dust than the RTT was at night. Oh well, I really had a blast and am quite happy that the truck can out run a cart wheeling RTT.

 

Lots of casualties this trip. More than usual. This is gonna scare off a lot of would be newbies from joining on a trip.

 

Not so good for my truck but it was still fun as shit.

 

Great idea that had an epic fail during the high speed runs.

It was great! Really enjoyed it.

 

I really hope it doesn't scare people off but instead encourages them to be well prepared. I didn't know RTTs tend to go AWOL, do now though. Next time it'll be mounted much more securely. I've never, in 2 yrs, seen Joon get a flat so that was kinda unusual.

 

Sounds like a blast!

 

That might not be all bad, stuff is gonna break. Just got to be able to deal with it, and be prepared to pay for it. Not everyone can fix things on the fly, and some things can’t be fixed easily.
