Memorial Day Weekend 2022

Since I forgot to ask beforehand, who went where and how was it?

Temperature wise it seems perfect for riding and camping. Trails may have been a different story after all the rain though.

I went to aop Friday and came back home this morning. Weather was great, minus the several days of rain leading up to the weekend. At least it wasn't dusty. Lol

It really wasn't bad, and got better every day.

Cole made it up little ceasars ? It's nasty now.

He got to the tree and went to take a look. Busted out laughing when he saw the 6' wall right at the first corner. I'm not sure what it would take to climb that now.

Great pics. How'd the slide-in camper and minimalist trailer do?

The trent buggy did good. I wish i had more time to study it. Lots of stuff i like on it.

That thing was rowdy. Needs lower gearing but it worked really good. Only real issue we had while he was with us was his wireless winch remote not wanting to work right. Once he gets some more time with it and dials it in it'll be bad ass for sure.

I hate those wireless remotes. They dont ever seem to work right IMO. Just something i've noticed.

Wireless remotes for something as dangerous as a winch always left me skeptical.

It worked great. That trailer pulls so easy and straight. I still need to build the front floor sections in so I have better places to haul all the stuff that would previously ride in the truck bed. I'll also make a small platform at the front to have a nice step for the camper Once that's done it'll be on point.

The camper is tall (12.5' total), but with the air bags it made the trip just fine. I never had any bad sway on the road. You get used to how it feels in about 5 mins of driving it. I ran with the cruise on 70 all the way. Got a little over 9mpg average. It's not good, but its better than I got pulling the old enclosed trailer. I'll be taking it back up for the u4 race in a few weeks.

Good to know all around and will make sure to flag ya down and say high at the Ultra4 race. Hoping to be there Thursday through Sunday.
