Games Rednecks Play

As yesterday the Atlantic was calm, light breeze, and quite warm, I thought I would head down there today and spend a few hours relaxing on the beach.

But today, it was quite unlike yesterday. Windy, rough surf, and not at all warm.

I was bummed but was going to make the most of it, until I got a call from thejeepjunkie. Whatcadoing jeepjunkie? Waiting. Waiting for what? Waiting for you to get over to the racedude's house so we can go 4 wheeling. Needless to say, I was off lickity split.

We all gathered up and headed out. There were in total seven or so vehicles. All but the CJ's filled with rednecks. 2 CJ's, a Cherokee, a big ass Blazer, and three or four pickups.

If you will remember from previous images, those wheels on thejeepjunkie's CJ2A are chrome.

And the ones on the Kid's CJ5, they are white. Look at the mud line on the spare tire and that grin on the Kid's face.

thejeepjunkie heads to the woods to talk to Mother Nature.

While the Kid observes this practice and says, "Don't step in any bear droppings."

Those CJ's stayed right with those Redneck rods in every area they were challenged. the Kid and thejeepjunkie wisely decided not to challenge the mud bog where Redneck 1 broke his truck and the Toyota and the Cherokee both got stuck. the Kid let me drive his CJ5 quite a bit and we went off through the woods on a barely there quad runner trails several different times, successfully negotiating two them all the way through.

And that was it. It was fun and a good time was had by all.


The damage toll?

Well thejeepjunkie's CJ2A's carb gasket blew but that was easily repaired by the race dude with some cardboard and chewing gum. I kid you not. Straight up Redneck.

Redneck #1, a coworker of thejeepjunkie, broke the front axle, not the housing, just the inards, to his big ass pickup. Straight up Redneck, alright.

One of the race dude's sons Cherokee over heated after a series of high rev donuts. Have I said Redneck, yet?

the Kid's CJ5 was reluctant to let them disengage the left front hub, but they were finally able to do so about 1/2 mile down that paved road.

On one particularly oddly approach rut, the Kid driving bucked me out of my seat to the floor bwtween the two and the display my cell phone, in my back pocket, got shattered. Off to Metro PCS tomorrow to have them switch my number to one of my old Nextels.

I sure had fun and might have to trade the olestationbus in for a 4wd. I think I will Scout around to see what I can find.

Thanks to thejeepjunkie and the Kid for having me along.





What? Not enough?

Oh well, I guess I will have to post the videos then.

Upon arrival.

The ole longrooffan driving his first 4wd in many years. Thanks Kid.

Another stuck Redneck.

About 1/2 through, you can hear Redneck 1 break his truck.

Quite dusty out there today.

Even the dog is a Redneck.

I about busted my ass at the end of this and lost two rechargeable batteries to that muck and this blog.

Thanks again Kid and jeepjunkie. The most fun I have had in quite a while.
