Big Bear Pre Run

[cruiserlarry]

So far, no damage has been reported by Ollie, but the weekend ain't over yet.

Well, he did manage to lose his HF antenna, get a few leaks in his on-board air hoses and rip a hole in the driver side CV boot.

That sucks...that HF antenna costs more than most fenders !!!

He only broke the whip on the HF antenna.

Got the resize going, now need to clean up pics. Yet, when downloaded they are clear and sharp? What Eric said makes sense. I don't know. Sounds like BW struck again.

They download much faster! As far as the crispness, I'm not sure. They don't look quite as crisp as the originals, but I am on a different computer now. Your original "refinement" pic now looks clear on my screen whereas from home it looked wierd due to scaling. I dont think the forum image scaling issue has been completely sorted out yet. Like you said - Who knows... Trial and error I guess..

What a great weekend!!! Great times, Great people, and great trails. What more can you ask for? There was some carnage (we know who to blame ).

BugEater Damage:
1. ATAS-120 whip snapped off at actuator.
2. Right rear quarter panel plastic clips broken. (FJ now has an air brake. )
3. Compressor system air leaks.
4. Driver side CV boot torn.
5. "Christmas Tree" on due to front end being knocked out of alignment. (Not related to CV boot damage. They were seperate incidences.)

I am processing my pics. I will post pics tonight. I got a few good ones.

I'll check it out when I get home tonight. My work computer blocks the website you use.

Though I did not physically run into you folks, talking on 2-meter was cool. Soon after my truck decided it wanted to take the rest of the day off and protested on the way up John Bull and I had to take it back to camp. It still needs some love before it can go back on anything hard again.

Later however, we did run up that trail over by 39 that was discussed on the radio and the views are indeed wonderful! So thank you for that!

Glad you all had a great time!!
