PNWX goes to Rimrock

Schludwiller · 04-23-2001, 12:14 AM

PNWX made it's latest trip to Rimrock, WA. The trails are still pretty muddy, and lots of them start with a deep pool like this one. Most of us decided to pass on this one, but when there is a crowd and cameras someone has too.......

Hey this doesn't look too bad.

Dive! Dive!

Get out of the way. Here he comes.

Yes those are 32" Super Swamper TSL's and they look like racing slicks.

That's as far as she's going cap'n.

Time to back it up....

Hey what's that gurgling sound?

Where's the fish?

Well it appears the water came in through the rear vent flap (behind the back bumper). The water wasn't noticeable until the truck was parked at an angle. Then it all moved forward into the drivers feet.

I'll be posting video as soon as I get done digitizing it.

Super Swampers and a WAAG guard, huh?
Well I guess you don't have to worry about trimming it back to clear the tires...

Any more pics?

Well his truck represents his construction company too, and looks are important to John. He has this whole transformation that his truck goes through before offroading (tires, flaps, step-rails, etc). The guard stays though.

He doesn't baby it. John is one of our crazier drivers, and usually one of the first to go through the tough stuff.

ewwww......so he has that mud from the back to the front. that's gonna be yummy to clean up.

i was waiting for someone to have water come in those back flaps. it looks yucky. how close to the computer did it get? and how bad did it hit the abs and air bacg systems under the drivers seat?

The RR corner doesn't look to have gotten all that wet, and that's where the cabin vent flaps are. There are none on the LR corner. I'd say it was the door seals that leaked...

So is John hereafter known as Capt. Nemo, or has someone else already earned that moniker?

That is amasing PIC. I would like to know the story behind that PIC.

<Cough> *Photoshop* </Cough>

Schludwiller · 05-02-2001, 12:14 PM

ha ha ha.

Nice Vb code there. If my computer made a coughing sound I would be impressed.

Yeah, it's photoshop, but I didn't have the real picture on the internet to post.

Agh!
Who cares if its Photoshopped?!?!

The pic looks great + real, what else would we want?
