Topic: Azusa Off Road Park - SCCX Day 8/25/12

[RockinX]

What an absolutely terrific day of wheeling and spending time with a great group of club members!  Thanks John (GhostX), Max (MaxPower) and all the members who were able to attend to make it a perfect day.  And a special thank you to those who provided the entertainment by pushing their Xs to the limit.  The obstacle course volunteer said that we (well, not me) were able to tackle and conquer even the most difficult obstacles.  The weather was great and we were totally entertained by rock crawling, water crossings, sand hill climbs, lots of mud, an X rescuing a jeep, a couple Xs that needed a little nudge to be on their way, all topped off with barbecue baby!  Good times indeed!

Bead locks and radiator skid John.  I like the TS, looks great!
 Sorry I couldn't make it, I was busy raping  Steve's (USKO) truck.  He's talking about getting a VW  
See you guys next time for sure.

[usko99]

Oh boy I missed this great day!!! sorry guys couldn't make it...

Randy and I were doing some facial transplants on our X's... (well thats what she said  )

Decided to part out my truck because I will go with a better suited daily driver...

Was looking into the audi A4 but found out that the vw gli autobahn is 15k cheaper and better...will see what I can get for the X first...

I'm going to miss all this 4wd action, but the X has to go....

Another one bites the dust...  

That's a bummer Steve, we will miss seeing you on the trail for sure.  However, it sounds like Randy is the beneficiary of your move to a more street-centric vehicle. 

I believe raping is a strong word...I prefer consensual modding?    We will be looking forward to an update to your build page soon RBD.

Steve that is not good news.  You will be missed.  Stay in touch, even ride along if you want.  We've had too much fun for this all to end like that.....

What size?

16 in rims. If you mount them conventionally its like mounting on a 7 inch Xterra wheel. If you use the bead lock clamping ring as a true beadlock they are 8.5-9" wide, depending on the thickness of the tire bead. I will sell them for less than I have into them + the free labor of the welding.

Mounted as true beadlocks:


Conventionally:




Plus you'll have the ONLY Nissan 6 x 4.5 pattern beadlocks!!

Great pics Marshann and Ray.  Looks like everyone had a great time.



Well, almost everyone.  What's the story with the FJ that looks like it's about to get washed out to sea?  That's a lot of water in the background - and a lot of mud in the foreground.

FrankB things like this are very common in this area.  Knuckleheads that don't know what they are doing push their cars to the limit and beyond.  We rolled up to this FJ while a couple of trucks were trying the wrong way to pull him out.  They strapped to the brush guard first and when it started to come off they re-strapped.  They were using straps and a chain, the trucks trying to pull him out were in reverse by choice because "reverse is a lower gear", too many people standing too close, oh and the trucks weren't even pulling at the same time.  It was like they were competing against each other not trying to work together.  We left before it was rescued and in the end we heard it took 4 trucks to get this FJ out of the mud.

[Ghost65]

Frank, Max is right.  It was quite a scene down at the shore line.  And his written depiction is very accurate.  When the group brought out the chain, we backed up to about 300' out and watched from afar.

The amazing thing was, people in this environment actually went into mud/obstacles knowing they would get stuck...a new phenomenon that I haven't encountered.  It seems there was something in the mud that increased the testosterone levels of the driver, and threw common sense out the mud spattered window.

Entertaining for sure...dangerous, definitely.

The group had a wonderful time, I just wished I hadn't forgotten my camera.    Marshann and Ray took some great photos, so we have that to be thankful for.  And the barbecue afterwards was incredible!!

Oz...I sent you a PM regarding the wheels...sorry for the threadjack.
