We had a great group of trucks:

@t_j
@Kmandoske
@13raptorcrew
@Jimbo
@fingermalone
@Crikk
@Rico'14
@poke27
@ironside
@mnblly

The trails where a great mix of tight single track, even tighter single track, fire roads, snow covered versions of the aforementioned trails and a small amount of pavement between sections of trail.


Unfortunately @Big Blue did not make it as he got ill (all exit stomach bug) a few days before the trip.


Please don't post pictures of damaged trucks without the owner's consent.

Lessons learnt:

* @mnblly needs to leave more room between him and the truck in front and install some fender liners or screen over his intake :doh2:

* Make sure that someone else brings a chainsaw if the person bringing it does not make it.

* Make sure the first few trucks have a couple of people in them to help clear trees

* Rotate out the lead truck more often so they don't get over tired from stopping and clearing the trail

* Don't switch out to summer washer fluid in the early stages of spring


As for the minor carnage:

* Another broken mudflap
* Some broken trailer connectors
* A broken VHF antenna

Other carnage to be reported by the trucks owners.


One very close call and amazing save by @mnblly:

So Billy has no fender liners which was the cause of the issues.

After hitting a large puddle at far to high of a speed he drowned his intake, and filter, we blew it out with air from my co2 tank to dry it as much as possible. After that it fired up just fine.

Then on Sunday we hit some decent deep snow and he sucked in a large quantity of snow clogging up the intake and causing it to throw some more codes.
