[Evan]

Opening things up to floor space and tenting in the field around the cabin this year due to popularity of event . Sorry folks but there is only 26 bunks and we're close to that now . We'll make room as we always have no shows and last minute cancelations just know I may not be able to offer all a bunk after we reach 26 attendees

Thank for you support!

[galen211]

Confirmed to be just me. Can't wait for this!

Any snow at the moment?

[Frank84]

I'm slow to the party here, but put me down for a floor spot please!

[rvrsrvc]

Myself and possibly Max. We'll bring air mattresses and grab some floor if there is still room....or camp.

[galen211]

Sven and Neil have expressed interest and should be added to the floor/waiting list.

[devildog01]

This kind of turnout is truly awesome. This is a great event and something the kids and I look forward to all year. Thanks in advance Evan.

[Tom109]

Evan,

Too early to tell if I can rearrange that weekend and make it, so put three of us down for camping.

[kun109]

Can I get put down for one? Camping/floor space.

[Evan]

Can I get put down for one? Camping/floor space.

Who are you ?

[kun109]

Who are you ?

Matt K. Thanks Evan.

[devildog01]

Anthony Nelson asked if he could get some floor space too.

[pushngo]

I'll camp I'll bring the Kodiak if anyone needs a roof

[Evan]

We need a food list ......
I vote for a shrimp boil for Saturday dinner
I'llpick up 15 lbs of shrimp

[galen211]

Everybody better brush up on their Rover knowledge because we are going to play some games for prizes this year too.

I can get corn and potatoes.

[mlp141]

Can't make it. Can I play trivia via satellite?

[devildog01]

I'll bring the usual a couple dozen eggs and a couple pounds of bacon plus some pancake mix.

[Disco96JSWB]

We told Donna not to bother to make the fudge and oatmeal cookies this year because nobody seems to like them.

[galen211]

Can't make it. Can I play trivia via satellite?

You providing the satellite? :cool:

Wish you could make it. It's been too long...

[devildog01]

Bring 3 times as many or don't bother showing up.

[mlp141]

You providing the satellite? :cool: Wish you could make it. It's been too long...

Ok. Via FaceTime?

And it has been too long. Just can't make it up there.

[devildog01]

Looks like we shouldn't have any lack of snow again.

[galen211]

That's for sure!

[DiscoSux]

We'll watch for ya Brett!

2191

[Dan The Man]

Now that's funny...

[devildog01]

We'll watch for ya Brett!

2191

Hey, remember that time I rolled my truck? Me neither :D

[galen211]

Hey, remember that time I rolled my truck? Me neither :D Remember that time you ran into a tree? Me too. :)

[devildog01]

Remember that time you ran into a tree? Me too. :)

I didn't run into the tree. It jumped out in front of me.Those tree's in Canadensis are very sneaky. And for the record Dave hit a tree before he decided to "park" his d1 on it's side.

[DiscoSux]

Oh, I wanted to thank you for scoring me Brett!

2193

[devildog01]

Oh, I wanted to thank you for scoring me Brett!

Always looking out for you buddy!

[Dan The Man]

2?! That was at least an 8💸

[rvrsrvc]

I'm out.

[pushngo]

i'm out.

what?????

[rvrsrvc]

Max is performing in a play that Saturday night and I was volunteered to help. Hate disappointing my peeps, but I can't disappoint my kid either. Don't think I've been to the cabin in about 5 years.....

[Tom109]

Evan - we are out for SCC again. Looks like I may be flying out West that weekend...






to pick-up a Rover!
:)

[galen211]

Watcha getting?

I updated the first page to remove Trevor and Tom.

[Tom109]

Watcha getting?

Let's just say I'm staying true to "no more coil springs..."

[oscar]

Yes...... you read right. I'll be there, with the spawn. May even bring a Rover....

[galen211]

Will we be having tea on the trail this year? :)

[LC Rover]

I won't be bring down the 88....have two sets of chains for someone to use....they fit on 7.50 x 16...if u have 235's I will have to add a few side links...

[80-One]

Suzie is out………I'm still in. Will have plenty of Starbucks pastries for breakfast and trail munchies.

Steve (English)

[galen211]

We have as much snow on the ground this year as last and I'm getting nervous (excited?) for next weekend.

Time to dig out the chains.

[DiscoSux]

I worked on the truck all day Saturday, just about ready to go. I need to replace all the tie rod ends and install new rod ends on my panhard bar Tuesday evening to get rid of the death wobble and I'll be set.

Hope we get to the cabin before dawn... Can't wait!

[galen211]

If you're replacing the TRE's on your panhard rod you may want to check your muffler bearings too. :D

BTW, I was just having death wobble beginning to show and did my panhard rod bushings, it made no change. It was the shims in the swivel pins even though I did them less than 2 years ago. I think adding an ARB bumper and winch to the front end added enough weight to need a re-adjustment.

[DiscoSux]

If you're replacing the TRE's on your panhard rod you may want to check your muffler bearings too. :D



Point taken, Galen. I said rod ends...I have an adjustable Rover Tracks panhard rod. Looking at putting Johnny Joints in.

Ah, I see that now. :)

[kun109]

We'll, I hope you all have fun. I'm not going to be able to make it. Hope to see everyone at Spring Robesonia. G, make sure to post pics of all carnage. Matt.

[Disco96JSWB]

Sorry you won't be there, Matt.

Do we need a food thread or is it under control?

[galen211]

Saturday lunch is on your own.

Saturday dinner is the shrimp boil, Evan said he is bringing shrimp, I'll handle potatoes, corn and sausage.

Saturday and Sunday breakfast - Usually everyone brings stuff and we piece together a breakfast each day.

Cookies, snacks, desserts and drinks are always good to bring what you like and to share.

[DiscoSux]

. G, make sure to post pics of all carnage. Matt.

SCC rarely yields much carnage. Last year Brett broke his winch line 5 times and tapped his off road bumper on a tree which promptly snapped the end of it off.

*Livers not included

Just saw an updated forecast. -7 friday night. I think it may be too late to add a few extra pounds of body fat to ward off the cold....

[galen211]

I sure hope we aren't on the trail for 6 hours on the way in with -7 weather!

2014. Never Forget!

[galen211]

I don't know if many of you guys go on D-90.com but they have been talking about the Maine Winter Romp and how hard it was. I keep thinking, why did you have to drive so far to experience that? We have the same thing here in PA!

http://www.defendersource.com/forum/showthread.php?t=59564

[devildog01]

It's all good this year. I've got cains and no center diff "pumpkin" hanging down to obstruct forward progress. Not to mention rear locker and traction control. Also 3/8 tjm winch line and a much more stout tactical rovers front bumper to fend off those pesky tree's.

[galen211]

We still aren't letting you go first. :)

I vote Dan the Man goes first!

[Dan The Man]

No diffs, no love I guess...😳

[Disco96JSWB]

I vote for Brett to go first.
-Jake

[devildog01]

I vote for Brett to go first.
-Jake
Thanks for the vote. I vote Galen goes first.

[Dan The Man]

I vote jake does all the shoveling

[galen211]

I always hate getting this close and having to go to work. All I want to do is leave for Canadensis.

I'll try and go first (if you want to be out till 4 a.m. again)

[Frank84]

I vote jake does all the shoveling

I'll second that.

[Disco96JSWB]

I'll second that.

I thought we were friends..

[pushngo]

Neil is saying there is a wind chill of -27 at Canadensis right now. Bring your woolies
The bad news is it's 42 in Utah were we're headed to ski

[crazyfish]

It's only -10 right now, so I'm not worried much.....

[Dan The Man]

Is it time yet? Longest day ever...

[DiscoSux]

Is it time yet? Longest day ever...

Yep, may as well not even be here at work. I got a 5 hour trek through the woods on my mind...

[galen211]

Glad I'm not the only one. I'm in a meeting right now I'm leading and checking this thread!

[80-One]

All loaded up and the only thing not frozen is the scotch!!

Assuming the generator fires up, I've thrown in a battery charger, a couple of extension cords and a ceramic heater in case we have some reluctant batteries!

English

[oscar]

Loading up as we speak.

Dropped some heavy coin at LLBean yesterday for nuclear underwear for me and the lad.

Bringing a juicer and a bunch of oranges for fresh OJ in the am.

Bringing some red wine, and Gluewein..... (Mulled wine, German style, served hot) to share.

Also, I made what I call Irish Chili...... ground turkey, taters veggies. It's packed in one serving aluminum tins, I'll heat them in the oven Saturday morning and will carry them in a cooler......If you feel adventurous and have a good spot you can put one under your hood somewhere. I should have about 13 or so to share for Saturday lunch on the trail.

Have kinetic tow rope, shovel, a large hook bridle to connect said rope to chain links or axles. Managed to get the heater blower going, as well as the headlights. These are good things. There's some interesting looking wiring under the hood right now..... You can keep your smart ass comments to yourself.

Then again, wait 'till you see the MarkII fuel system.....I'll probably never hear the end of that. But, with two tanks full of crud, an inop fuel pump and just a few days to get everything done I had little choice than to think outside of the box.

Good news is that it's 100% street legal.

Looking forward to seeing you all again.

[oscar]

English

Have 100 foot extension cord, trickle charger and heavy duty jumper cables.

I do remember from the military getting coals out of the fire on a metal pan and placing them under the engine with blankets skirting the edges.....

With the Leopard I tanks we would just keep one running all night and jump off it. Food for thought.

[galen211]

Ha! Last year we kept all the trucks running all night!

[devildog01]

Waiting for Dan to show up so he can shower and do his hair then we are on our way.

[Disco96JSWB]

Another great year of SCC! Here are a few pictures from the front of the group.

Thanks Jake! Nice job with the pics.

Agreed - great weekend!

As always - thanks Evan!

Galen - GREAT job with the club activities!

[galen211]

SCC rarely yields much carnage. Last year Brett broke his winch line 5 times and tapped his off road bumper on a tree which promptly snapped the end of it off.

Uh huh....

I overheated my truck again Friday night, killed the battery trying to give the guys light while letting my engine cool down and shredded my rotoflex.

Frank had a brake line ripped off by a tow strap wrapped around the axle.

Dan G had loss of brakes, a locker failure and overheated.

Brett's LR3 had transmission faults from the heat of driving in the snow.

Fred's P38 had so much snow packed in the front tires that it lost the bead and the rims were spinning in the tires!

Oscar's Series didn't even make it 2 miles in and quit running.

Anybody else?

[galen211]

Nice job on the photos Jake. I always mean to take more and never seem to get a chance.

Thank you all for coming out. I don't even mind that I didn't drive anywhere on Saturday, just being there was nice!

Thanks Evan!

[rvrsrvc]

Galen, I hadn't even considered that my family can't come with me as my copilot grows bigger...
Randy, wow, never seen that before.
Looks like fun. I went skiing, the spaghetti dinner was postponed due to weather, and I just made myself useful around the house. Other than driving the Rangie to Roundtop, didn't touch a Rover all weekend....

[80-One]

Yep, Sean burnt his ass! Quote from Sean………"I'm burning my ass on the heated seat".

Seriously, many thanks to Evan, Galen et.al for making the weekend an absolute blast!
As some of you know life has served me up a bit of a curve ball lately so having a few days of gut doubling laughter was just the therapy! Mind you, Suzie did question me this morning as to what went on at the cabin as through the night I was screaming out….."I'll take History for 40" and "My name is Frank Abagnale"!
As always…..what happens at the cabin….stays at the cabin!

Cheers

[oscar]

Home safe, with all the bits and pieces we left with, including the MFTactical flashlight I thought I lost out of my pocket on the trail, but found in a duffel bag. Brandon and I had a ball. Thank you to Evan, Galen and all others for making this happen.

Time to fix the fuel system on the truck. The temporary setup does not bleed itself right away when it sucks an air bubble going over the bumps..

Shopping for something with tracks..... Found this. Unfortunately sold, and if it wasn't it's a wee bit outside the budget......Would do the trick though..... Dreaming is free.

That's quite a list! Looks like the white '96 D1 did Ok then...

[devildog01]

Big thanks to Evan for allowing us to have an awesome weekend. Carnage or no carnage it is always a fun time. Thanks to Galen for the trivia. That was alot of fun. Always good to see everyone and looking forward to the next rovers event.

[DiscoSux]

Brett! Did you put your truck up for sale? Hard to tell with all the silver...

2208

[Frank84]

Absolutely great weekend and another epic ride into camp! Having no brakes made little difference with all that snow to slow me down. Made up a new line and bled the system before getting on the highway and all was well after that.

[Tom109]

Brett's LR3 had transmission faults from the heat of driving in the snow.

Any details on this?

[devildog01]

Cleared the codes on Saturday morning with Dans scanner and haven't had an issue since. I also had a reduced engine performance code and a parking brake code as well as no special programs. None of them affected the drivability of the truck on Friday night. I think the lr3 just doesn't like the cold.

[DiscoSux]

I think the lr3 just doesn't like the cold.

Either does its bitch-ass owner...
