Well HCRR 2018 was awesome! Saw many old friends, and made plenty of new friends. Weather ended up being perfect Friday & Saturday with the only rain shower being late on Saturday evening (only lasted like 15min).

The staff at the event were great, food, sponsors, and the trails were also awesome. I got there early on Friday morning and helped the staff setup for the event & then we went out to scout the trails. Ended up doing some level 3, 4, and one 5 trail. The ratings really didn’t mean anything as the rain, and wear n tear on some trails could turn a 2 into a 5, or a 5 into a 3, it just depended on the terrain.

I took my Kalahari which is actually my lowest sitting D2, but it did fantastic! People can make fun of a D2 all they want, but with HDC, CDL, and the manual mode for the transmission in Low Range it’ll go anywhere. I knew my D2’s Jlo butt was going to be my weak spot so I babied it down some drop off’s. I ended up loosing both rear lower plastic trim pieces & it wasn’t due to smashing them! One cracked from sitting to close to the rear metal bumper, and one just broke from old age and vibration. I’m going to just make a line from under the rear fender flare and cut all the way back (including the side of the bumper).

Truly a great time & I’ll post all the action shots once their posted up on their event page.
