North (way North) Area and update

The MOG now has a 5link front axle. Yeah, I said 5link. I added a Panhard, but the throw of the upper 2links are at such small angles that I did not need to remove one of them. Lost maybe 10% of articulation, but gained a LOT of steering torque.
Bed is complete.
LEDs are wired and a controller for them is complete. Fabbing the lens' soon and install on chassis.


Was up north last weekend. Eyes are always open for rock and trail areas. My wife thinks I have an addiction"thumbsup".
Found this one at a roadside park on the west TC bay, halfway towards Suttons Bay. Prob a 100+ yards of this!
Lots of scaler/trail areas between all the rocks made it beautiful.

Looking good Jim. What rims are those?

Oh man, everybody with little Jeeps now. Wish I had not gotten the big JK. Smaller stuff is more fun.

When are we trail running again?
Sat or Sun?
Any possibility of being closer to Holland?

[sweli]

My itch isn't crabs or VD. Who wants to trail run? Anyone? pleeeeaaaseee............

 

[itsjust me]

im going to try and check out a new place tonight. sat and sun dont look good for weather...

 

[sweli]

Whats the new spot? Pics from today?

What about Friday night at BFG?

Anyone up for anything this weekend?

Wonder if sometime this summer we should carpool over to Grand Ledge and check it out?

 

[itsjust me]

whats in grand ledge? didn't have time to check out the new place. has any one ever looked around on the hill at john ball park?

 

[sweli]

Where the &*#$%@#& is everyone?
If I run with my two oldest kids, I get left out of scaling, as only two run. Suppose I could run the comp rig after them. The way this summer is going, I prob will convert my torsion to a scaler so the kids and I can run when we want to.

Wow, weather was horrible out there today. Hope everyone stayed inside where it was safe...........LOL

Out Geo-caching with cubscouts in a county park between Holland and GrandHaven. Very large park with LOTS of hiking trails.
NE corner of park had a ravine with a 18" wide, 2-6" deep trickle of a creek running through it with typical woods obstacles around it. Found the ravine from the edge of the road in front of the park, where it is easy to park and walk 20ft into the area.

My rants (above) aside, anyone up for something after work this week? Tues or Wed?

 

[WyldWeazel]

Unfortunately, your rant will be true for me this week. My work doesn't have anyone to cover for me while I am on vacation and now I have to get caught up by Wednesday. Thursday, Ford, one of our customers is coming in for an audit... So my week sucks. Wife and I are still discussing this weekend. I know I will be unavailable Monday. We will see about Friday.

[sweli]

Hey Weazel, does it seem like Ford had gotten a little tougher with their audits in the last year or so?
Used to be you didn't even need to prep for a visit from them, now they feel like Toyota up your business.

 

[WyldWeazel]

You got that right. On the plus side I am saving a fortune on prostate exams.:shock:

 

[a_g_j_86]

Hey Scott, it's alex. I sent you an email last weekend I think, I'm up for something on Wednesday after work
