Re: Huckfest, anyone going?
Driving the Bronco again made me question everything.... Seeing this first Explorer made me excited to build mine!
P.S. Anyone know the owner?

Re: Huckfest, anyone going?
Good times were had.....having my radio programmed and scanning the team channels was very entertaining and everyone near the back of the Bronco could hear all the chatter on weatherman and the BFG relay. We heard when drivers got in trouble, when the kid in the orange shirt was running on the course and when other "spectators" decided to roll over the orange fence and drive on the course area and when they got worked up over BJ's Helo flying and filming.
During the event people near Jim and Paige aptly named it the Stuckfest! I was mesmerized by the people driving past our spot on the hill who would stop on an uphill section and get stuck and the action that followed.......
After BJ did his thing I tried to get Steve to join me and make an Outlaw run down the hill and tandem jump before they stopped us.... I got shut down the only tandem jump Steve will do again is with Rick.

Re: Huckfest, anyone going?
Hmmm Best Jump?..... Well I saw Steve's daughter Bella jump of the back of 'ol blue and stick the landing just before road edge, truth be told that jump looked better than some of those attempted by the other hucksters.
Motolife was a crowd favorite-drove it hard and launched it pretty impressively.
Big Thanks to Jim and Paige that meal made for a great ending to a fantastic day! We left the camp ground and Brandon was out before we hit the 101......

Re: Huckfest, anyone going?
You know it! In my opinion, EVERY 4 wheeled vehicle should have the ability to tow. I don't care if it's an F350 or a Ferrari. It should have a hitch!Nick wrote:You can take the boy out of the valley, but you can't take the valley out of the boy...SteveG wrote:Yes.

Re: Huckfest, anyone going?
It was really clean and looked good driving around... made me feel better about building an Explorer! I do like the 33's but It's a drag that a 33 won't fit in the stock location and I don't know what it would do to mileage. I would love to ask the guy a few questions about it.tcm glx wrote:Also, I'm diggin the sleeper 4 door explorer.. 33x10.5s look so good on those!

Re: Huckfest, anyone going?
Steve, I saw you ripping down the fenceline whoops pretty fast after the competition ended. We were right by the south entrence to the dunes. Pretty impressive run and you passed like 20 trucks through there and the bronco just soaked it all up.

Re: Huckfest, anyone going?
The truck had a lot more left in but there were too many people to really open it up. I putted through most of it but got tired of the up and down, up and down, up and down, so I picked up the pace at the end. It also helps that it's incredibly fun!Agui-E7TE wrote:Steve, I saw you ripping down the fenceline whoops pretty fast after the competition ended. We were right by the south entrence to the dunes.
