Scouts in the Crushers Sept 6th

[Binderbound]

Cut and pasted from my post on the bb...

I'm planning a 'crushers' day for Saturday, sept 6th. Meeting at the gales creek shell station at 9am.

This is no joke. These 'trails' will chew you up and spit you out. You will get body damage. You will break something.

Vehicle requirements...
Must be IH or have some part of an IH left in it.
Minimum 35" tires
2 lockers. I might let a front limited slip in but a rear locker is a must!
No regard for body damage.
Recovery points on both ends
rocovery grear ie: straps, high lift jack

spare parts list...
Spare tire
axle shafts
axle u-joints
locking hub/drive flange
drive shaft u-joints
misc electrical parts
misc nuts and bolts
fluids
tools

nice to have...
Winch
cb
spotter

you should come prepared with lots of food and water. Blankets and provisions to stay the night in there. I'm not joking. We have left many people in there over night while we rounded up parts to fix your junk.

Various pics from there...

I'm in!

Fyi: current odfw fire regulations state that you must have a shovel and either a gallon of water or a 2.5 lb fire extiguisher in your vehicle...

Anybody have an update on this? I couldn't go so I hope somebody took lots of pics.

it's 2:36am Sunday and since there are no pictures I can only assume you all are still there. Please post pics for us who had to work. Thank you and god bless.
Just walked in the door. We all are out of the woods. We have lots of pics and lots of damage. The worst of which is chris. He busted his ankle up pretty bad. I'm to tired to post anything else now.

Here are a few pics to tide everyone over. The thread on the bb will have more, as I ended up being the unofficial camera man.

My pic where I am on my side looks better when you rotate it fully to match reality:

yeah - I was totally on my side the door was smashed up against a rock.... And the truck stayed running 'til I shut it off. Then fired up and drove out of the spot when we decided that was the best solution
