Did you cut the sidewall? Got pics of it?

Sidewall got a hole poked in it, what sux is I wasn't going to get in there because the granite rocks. KC and I discussed the fact that they would posssibly cut a tire, I couldn't resist . No pics of it, I just sent it out to be vulcanized.

Where around here can you get the vulcanizing done? I still have those 40" gumbo mudders that got slashed and wouldn't mind gettin em vulcanized so I could use em still but I can't find anywhere that does that?
 
Call a heavy truck tire store, the place I found really doesn't do it for the public, just tire shops. The tire shops usually have to send them out and it takes a week or so to get them back. I told them I needed this one asap to go wheeling over the week of the 4th and the guy told me he would get it done if I brought it to him. I have a new spare that I could have used, but I really don't like going hours away to wheel with no spare.
 
Those were some pretty brutal rocks. I saw at least three driveshafts get broken by them. My front driveshaft got some rock rash.

Did anyone get a pic of my rig in the rock garden?

here's what she looks like...

Definitely something to repeat - a great time, big crowd, some cool activities. It can just get bigger and more fun from here! Kinda wimped pulling the trailer over the rock garden at the end - didn't want to get hung up in front of the guys from the club... Nice to get a cheer from the folks left at that point. Had a great time and would jump at the chance to help put one together next time. Thanks Mike! And thanks to all the folks that aren't always visible - can't be done without you!

Any pics of people down in the hole? Or them coming out of it? You guys have some very impressive rigs, getting more and more ideas for what I'd like to build when the funding is available:driver:

Good pics and captions, not the run of the mill rockshots :) I actually showed these to my wife as representative of the event! Good job.

Thanks, man. My site has gotten about 300 hits since last night, all from this link. I only wish I'd taken more pictures, but I was too busy looking at all the great rigs.
 
I felt like such a jerk with my stock TJ. Hopefully won’t be stock for long.
I had a great time though, thanks for doing this BDOR!
Oh, and spraypaintman, I saw you on the RTI. That’s one sweet rig you have there.
 
FINALLY, I AM HERE!
HAD A GOOD TIME BDOR! BROUGHT HOME A LITTLE TREE BARK AND LEFT A BIT OF CAGE PAINT DON'T EXPECT ME TO WRITE LONG SENTENCES LIKE THIS ONE EVER AGAIN, MY WIFE IS TYPING. HEY EVERYBODY! I NOW HAVE RUNNING WATER AND A WOOD STOVE

Hey Shell, you might want to turn off the 'caps lock' key.

Tell your husband 'The Rocketeer' to take a typing class.

Thanks for the killer spotting job you did for me, just a few scrapes and zero carnage!
