Hillbilly Run
Our first run of the season and what a great way to start it. Two adventure full days of wheeling, day one stock vehicles, day two modified rigs.
This year is looking to be one of our best and busiest years to date. If you like off roading this is the place for you.
Anniversary Run 2011
May 29th was year number four since the creation of ExploringNH, so as usual we celebrated by putting together one huge run. Over 75 people showed up to celebrate with us, of all ages and all skill levels. The weather was fantastic, the wheeling was incredible and thanks to Colony Auto Parts for all the food we could eat. Life just doesn't get any better then that.
More of these photos as with others can be seen in our "Trip/Trail Reports & Photos.
Featured Rig
Project Downward Spiral
A highly modified ’97 XJ trail rig
This month’s Truck is from member RCman. A two plus year work, that has been a joy to watch take shape. This was his first major build, and he accomplished it with skill, and dedication to the highest level of craftsmanship. One of the most impressive aspects of this build was the amount of thought and research that went into each and every modification. The list of mods is extensive to say the least. Some of the goodies:
Comp Cams A6 X4 250H-13 Camshaft, Bored & Align honed, Speed-Pro 3.905 in.
Bore Pistons, ported/polished intake, shiny new black paint, and so on. Precision 5.38s, 35-spline spool, Fox 2.0 Shocks for the front, Crow 5-points, Summit Machine drive flanges, brand new in box 12-bolt H1s, a front D60 T&T truss, BTF rear D60 truss, 2.0 14" travel remote resi SAW coilovers, dual rate kit.
Mad Dog 39 X 14.5 X 16.5’s. Custom owner fabricated mounts for 4 link, amazing unibody frame stiffeners, and a multi-axis bent roll cage that is hand notched and simply beautiful to behold.
When it was time to buy a part, RCman didn’t go with cheapo import parts; he tried as often as possible to buy American. RCman is a humble builder, and will say that anybody can do this with practice and patience.
The devil is in the details and this truck is loaded with little things that aren’t readily apparent when you glance at a picture. Each piece flows seamlessly into the whole and looks like it belongs there. That is the mark of true craftsmanship
