Relocating to Utah (what about rust???)

[CoreyPerez]

As far as trail rides,



www.coloradok5.com has a "Blazer Bash" later this year, I'm planning on making that one. Depending on how things are going, I may try EJS2002 my self. I'll only really be going to check out the trucks. I'm sure the trails will be WAY over crowded at that time.

Home is 801 272 2526, but I am rarely there.

Any of you feel free to call any time (as long as it isn't in the wee hours of the morning)!



PS- I don't do any off-roading with my truck, that is what the bike is for!



PSS- drawson- What is your name? (so I don't feel stupid when I call, well not too stupid anyway )

 

[drawson]

My real name is Dee Rawson. I shoot IPSC matches almost every week end, so it's hard to get me on the weekends. We'll all have to try and hook up here shortly... .

Keep me posted

Count me in.



Chris and I will be getting together for an ATV ride as well. You're welcome to come along. The more the merrier.



Welcome to Utah. LOTS of outdoor stuff to do here - Rockie Mountains, Great Basin, Salt Flats, west desert, canyon lands, Bryce, Zions, yadda yadda yadda.

Hey, the guy in Ogden is Ken Jones. He is one helluva good guy. He isn't out to gouge everyone, and on some items, has very good prices. Dispite the fact that he is a Diesel Dynamics dealer (I really don't like them), he will usually give better prices than they will. His number is: 801 731 6291

Undercoating

Corey, Of all the procedures for treating the undercarraige of a vehicle for rust prevention, I have researched this extensively and here is what I know. As you know, up here in Connecticut the salt pounding we get from the state is on a regular basis. Just ask ToolManTimTaylor a neighbor of mine. The worst substance used for winter conditions is in Pennsylvania. A coal ash by-product is spread on the road and is nasty stuff for metal and paint. Yes, the same stuff steam locomotives used in the forties. A good source led me to the oily spray that CAnderson mentioned. The only drawback is it eventually wears off. A re-application is required about every other year to assure complete coverage. All in all, if you clean the vehicle at least once a week and a pressure washer is ideal, also, hot water loosens up salty sandy build-up underneath, you can slow down the deterioration process that the environment does to a vehicle. I was also told that the standard undercoating in a can, the stuff that is gummey until it dries. That stuff dries and forms pockets next to the metal due to small levels of shrinkage. It can then crack and hold water that seeps in while running down the underside as you are driving and starts rusting. JY

Hey guys,



where do you ride the ATV's at??? Oh, before I get my self laughed at, mine is a 1990 Honda fourtrax 2wd and slow as heck, but she is sure fun to beat on!



Corey

 

[Ben Rumson]

LOTS of places to ATV !!!! Mountain trails, sand dunes, slick rock, desert trails and foothills... . You name it, we got it!



PM both myself and CAnderson when you get out here and we'll get a ride planned.



My machine is an 88 Suzuki 4x4 250 (280) that is low and slow. You'll fit right in.



To start off:

SLC area = Jerico or Little Sahara Sand Dunes

Ogden area = Mantua Reservior (trails, roads, and some river bottoms)



Let us know when you get here Dude !

 

[CoreyPerez]

Ben,



I'm here already! I'm just in the process of looking for a house. Currently the quad is sitting in a storage unit, but its no problem to dig it out. I'm looking for something local, not a far drive or anything, something that the wife may even want to join in on. The only problem I can forsee is I left my helmet at the house and it was packed up by the shippers...



So, nothing too crazy!



My room phone number is:



777-1844 ext 4726

281-216-2942 (cell)



Looking forward to showing you guys just how big of a kid I am!

Relocating to Utah (What about rust?)

First... . no helmets are required for ATVs in Utah. Second... There are places all over this state you can ride. Some towns even allow ATVs to transit their streets so you can access their cafes and motels on multi-day trips. There are trails that will take you from the Arizona border through to Idaho or Montana with few interruptions. Look into the Paiute and Fremont trails in the South and any number of others in the North. The BLM and USFS offices are great sources of information. Most any forest road or BLM access not listed as an ATV trail is also accessable. The "greenies" have yet to shut down this independence minded state... but they are trying. :-{}

Hey All,



I'm going to be at ball games with my kids beginning this Saturday for who knows how long. I've been living minute to minute lately...



Chris is right, one ride isn't enough. PS Thanks for the call last week and for your advise. Hope school is still going well for you. Sorry we couldn't get together for a ride.



I got Wyoming clay all over my quad over the weekend. :-laf New DTT Transmission is such an improvement over stock. Wish I would have had the money for the upgrade sooner. 18 foot car hauler with 2 quads to upstate Wyoming and back over South Pass and it just sailed up the hills.



If someone get's a Quad ride planned, let's reply to this post and tell everyone where and when and see what happens. I have a friend/neighbor with a 1 ton dualley CTD but is not a TDR Member. He's he!! on wheels with his ATV's. I'll let him know about the rides as well.

Paiute ATV Trail !

Hey Corey,



For some mouth watering ATV temptations... go to www.Marysvale.org and then to Paiute ATV Trail.



It's a trail through a large section of Central Utah.

 

[CoreyPerez]

Hey guys,



The wife just gave me a big "go ahead" with the ATV ride. So, come on guys, lets get something going! Just let me know when & where, the wife and I'll be there. Just try and get me a heads up so I can rent one for the wife.



My cell phone is 281-216-2942. We are getting ready to move into an apartment so I don't really have a local number.



COME ON GUYS!!!!

You could move to Montana. they dont use salt there. Last year I was elk hunting there and following one of their highway snow plows up I-15. The driver threw out a hand full of sand about every 1/4 mile. Later that day we had lunch with him and h still had a full load of sand!!

 

[CoreyPerez]

Hey guys,



Here is a question I've got for you. I'm looking for a good location in Hill AFB area for emissions testing on the vehicles.



If you can point me into a good direction, please let me know.



Corey

Emissions Testing

Hi Corey,



DRawson is in the Clearfield area just south of Ogden. He's an Automotive Instructor and would be able to help you - great guy, great TDR member.

Send him a PM. I'll bet he can help you. I think he left his phone number at this same thread earlier.



Great news that your wife want to go riding with you. Mine enjoys it also, but we have 4 young kids and it's hard to get away - just the two of us. Plus we'll have 3 of the four in Soccer and Baseball starting this Saturday.



Here's a list of Utah TDR/ATV Contacts that have responded with interest in rides so far:

(Me) Bruce Adams 435-563-3396 (Logan Area)

Chris Anderson 801-272-2526 (SLC Area)

801-556-8082 cell

EricBU 801-965-6358 (Wasatch Front?)

801-599-7877

Yourself 281-216-2942 (Ogden Area)



The next time I go riding I'll send a PM to everyone and let them know what's up. If we can get together - Great. If not, there will always be a next time.



Alot of the snow should be off the back side of Willard near Mantua (NE of Ogden) within the next few weeks... FUN stuff !

Hey- I'll be on the trail almost every saturday. I checked out the Marysvale site; that looks awesome! I will for dam sure be hitting that some time this summer as I am currently looking for a replacement for Joe's Valley type riding. That place was beautiful. Now, after the pine beetles, it is a forrest fire waiting to happen. No good, most of the trees are dead. I mostly ride trails in the five mile pass area just past cedar fort, and everything in the Jerico/cherry creek area. Most times it is just by buddy and I, him on his ttr 125 and me on my yz 426. Most of the trails in those areas are to tight for 4 wheelers, but I think that the Marysvale ones would be awesome for both. Let's plan a trip to Marysvale!
