Arkansas Run - March 14 & 15

[dogknat]

Washed it today. Got most of the mud off, it definitely has been worse (Time Attack) but still was laying on my back at the car wash. I was prepared, wearing swim trunks.

I know there was a LOT of tight spots but man that Arkansas pin stripping is down right nasty, it is scratched to hell! Think I will wait until after TRR and try to have it professionally buff out as I have never seen it this bad.

Yea mine is bad as well, The mud actually wasn't too bad but I took it to the car wash on the way home to blast it down before that clay set. My drivers side really shows the marks where I got in the argument with that tree. surprisingly the only scratch on the passenger side is where my antenna came down to say hello. Later this week I am dropping by the body shop to see just how much they want to fix my lessons.

Pretty sure you cant get much tighter than what you took us thru Joe.

Well I don't know what you went through previously but because we kept trying to find alternative routes due to water crossing issues we went down a few trails that was unmaintained. We had to stop a lot to break and move branches, small trees and even move debris off the trail. At one time my son walked in front of us with an axe to clear the way. Only to get to the end where it meet another trail and we couldn't get through because it was closed off causing us to turn around and go through it again.

One day I will go through my gopro videos and post some up, got over 100GB to sort.

Yea we found one that was narrower and more of a rock crawl first thing Saturday morning, it was one hell of a way to start the run..... well that and nearly smashing an entire heard of guinea hens that had wandered out into the road. But like @RDFTS said we ended up having to break or move a lot of downed limbs from the winter before we could even get through. Quite a few headlight level branches that would have done some damage. My problem is I had a fight with a tree in the mud trying to get turned around on red clay. That one shows up the worst.

Definitely sounds like you two had some fun.

Debbie finally had our truck detailed and polished a couple weeks ago. I guess the ARDD damage finally got to her. We definitely took some tight, limb-dense trails that weekend. But after the first few, we just stopped cringing and said screw it, the damage is done so let's turn up the radio and have fun!

I got a huge dent under my fuel door that weekend. Still don't know how that one happened. lol

You were probably drunk, passed out, and hit your head there in the process of falling to your sleeping position.

Yeah, we had some good ones on Night Raptor, one went through the wrap a little, but Yukon tends to hit things to try and clear them because we have the wrap, plus we wedged good in that dead end...lol. Little reds wrap self healed like it was suppose to and she only has some minor marks on the mirrors and fender flares. I thought for a second we cracked our windshield on that low hanger on the night run though...it hit loud!
