Are Gators welcome to come ride?

Are Gators welcome to come ride?

I'm sure Gators Are considered OHV's. It's probably more reliable than my Jeeps.

 

[Rox&Mud]

If everything comes together, I'll have our TJ out on the trails for the first time since 2009.

@snappy we had one ride grand overland with us last year.

My first thought was, we won't discriminate regardless of your football team preference...

 

[Southern_Transplant]

So, those on the board showing up on Friday.. you mind wearing your official Keyboard Krawler shirts so I can recognize who's who? After @BigClay 's mason jar on the last outing, I don't know that I can recognize faces too well.. hell I think I was half bli d by the end of THAT night

We will be there around 1-2 Friday and staying till Sunday.

@snappy That was me. I rode my Dad’s 825 Gator and it did great. You’ll have a blast. Bring it!

 

[Rox&Mud]

We plan to be there midday Friday but we're towing in a new configuration plus possible rain, time will tell.

Where is everyone staying? I missed the get together and may make a trip up (no rig, not done) to hang out for an evening.

I’d say most will be camping at the event location as usual. We are staying in a house a few hundred yards from the event again this year.

Awesome. Ask anyone there where i am.
I will have cold beer and warm food for ANY vet that comes by my camp.

 

[BigSouth]

I’m there Saturday (10ish to dark) riding Bitch with my Lil Sis.

 

[obullfish]

Weather looks like it’s going to be nice. I’d say there won’t be any dust though.

Happy to say I was part of figuring out the reason

It was another great event.

As always, good to see old friends and make some new ones while honoring my fellow Veterans.

Happy to say I was part of figuring out the reason

Thanks Ken for helping me to put the pieces together. Also, thanks Sean for hanging out and providing tools since mine drove off without me.

Essentially my front DS was too short and kept separating but I couldn't figure out why as I hadn't had issues in the past. Well since it's been about 11 years since I wheeled the TJ and 10 years since I donated the automatic transmission for the 1st annual Veteran's day ride, I didn't consider the manual Transmission being shorter. That said, I would have thought when the swap was done the MT shaft would have been moved over to my TJ and the AT shaft moved to the other TJ with the transmission.

As several know we had several truck issues just making it down to URE on Friday, the DS issue on Saturday w/ the TJ and we couldn't get away with out more issues with the Truck. The truck would only go for a few yards then had no power in any gear. Thanks to Lee Crawford with some remote diagnostics we determined that I needed a new transmission filter. Messy job to do in the field but could have been way worse.
