[noloc45]

I wanna thank everyone for the advice given. My trip was very nice.

Special thanks to the gentleman at Haywood 209 Cafe with the Red JL that told me about Goat Trail. Super fun!

No one wanna do Dickey Bell Saturday?

What time are you thinking of going and would you be opposed to wheeling with a Uwharrie noob?

We're pulling a camper there tonight and staying in Uwharrie. We're not really early risers, but probably get going on the trails around 9ish.

This will be our first Uwharrie trip, so you'd be in good newb company.

Well it's been 2 years of owning Fat Ninja and they have been a blast but the time has come to part ways. Within the next week I will be selling him to a dealer who made an offer I can't refuse and moving on to our next Jeep. The biggest reason is the obstacles we are now doing are becoming ever more challenging and difficult and the manual transmission adds an unnecessary level of complexity. Stalling out on a small obstacle is no big deal but stalling on these massive rocks where you are off camber or near a cliff edge can quickly put you in a position of serious damage occurring under the right circumstances. That coupled with we are currently a one Jeep family and the Mrs. can't drive stick really well points us to the sale of the Ninj.

Goodbye my friend, I will miss you.

Hello new Jeep...

Don't lie, you just wanted to complain again about those milestar tires

Do you surrender your pets to the pound too?

I do. Unlike SOME people who I suspect would just simply drive 45 mins away and let them loose in the woods. You know the kind of people... the ones that take nice, well built Jeeps and run them through stop signs. Those people... the same ones that drop their pets off in the woods and drown kittens in garbage bags.

I literally LOLd at this.

Hello new Jeep...

It was just time to move on. Fat Ninja will die alone and forgotten. It's ok. I don't blame you. Lol

I have some logistical questions regarding the cats, trash bags, and drowning...

I would assume you fill the bag up with water before adding the cat and sealing closed OR you put the cat in the bag and throw it into water with the bag open assuming it dies whilst still in the bag OR does it suffocate in a closed bag whilst floating in water...?

Edit: I assume said cat is declawed or do you double bag for puncture resistance?

Shawn out of Kernersville, NC.

Ordered Ocean Blue JLU Rubicon on 2/21.

Got my VIN # this morning.

Does that mean we can expect a name change soon? lol, sorry, made me think of Bronco Nagurski

Well from what I have HEARD (no personal experience in the matter but I believe @UNC Rubicon does) you put the cat in an empty bag and then weigh it down before tossing it in the water. The pressure from the water on the bag compresses it around the cat making a perfect seal against the cat and ultimately causing it's suffocation and death. Claws are a non issue since this happens so quickly they don't have time to cut their way out of said bag.

My suspicion is a certain person was documenting this say... via text... while they blew through a certain stop sign resulting in the birth of Pain Train, but I can't be sure.

LOL, yeah I've been meaning to call you. Running Prichett resulted in an in depth conversation of where we want our wheeling to head and the decision was made.

Going with the hunch that after 3 years and 3 Jeeps, no changes will be made.
