I'm being pulled in two directions at this point. I have been given consent from the queen to spend some money, which I have to work OT for, on the ex.

I have been on the trail I am going on, before. I actually flopped on the driverside of the ex the last time I was on this trail. Since then, I have just been enjoying the ex and pushing the limits of my rig. I vowed to have more gearing and some armor before going back up on this trail. I am going to purchase some rock sliders from a company where I live and make a front bumper in the next month.

My issue is, I would like opinions, should I get gears (5.13's) or a DD box for rocks doubler? Its not a DD and I plan to run either 35's or 37's later this year. I just want to know which would be a better fit for this trail. Both upgrades are going to be completed eventually. I like to crawl and let the engine do the work, however, I will use the go pedal when needed and I'm not afraid to abuse the ex.

This trail has some gnarly lines that have to be taken. I made them last time but damaged the ex. The sliders will save me from most of the carnage experienced from the last trip, however, alot of the climbs are steep and its ALL rock. So, should I get gears or doubler?

Last time, I stalled quite a bit and definitely worked the clutch a bit. I plan to replace the clutch, for peace of mind, before the trip. So, please help make my mind up. :salute: ]]> Exploring every thing under the sun!! cmhaah06 http://www.explorerforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=355879 http://www.explorerforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=355876&goto=newpost Sat, 12 May 2012 05:33:04 GMT Hey peeps!

Figure i would try and start something positive. name of the game is "Whats the nicest thing you've done for your fellow member?"

Have you gone out of your way to help someone? sent free parts against your wife's will? ( Me ) donate parts to get a fallen rig up and running in the middle of nowhere? Tell your story. show that there are still good people out there.

I recently sent a sunroof to South Africa for Bullrush free of charge. although because of cost it took me a bit to actually get it out the door, it got sent. i also gifted a fuel filler neck to another member.

What have you done?

LOUIS -- Police are studying possible charges against a man accused of hijacking a horse-drawn carriage in downtown St. Louis and punching the horse.

KMOV-TV reports the horse appeared unhurt after Tuesday night's incident but was being checked by a veterinarian.

Police say the episode began when the suspect ran toward the carriage and hit the driver on the head with a cane, then grabbed the reins after the driver jumped out.

The horse -- named Henry -- broke into a run and pulled the rig back to the carriage company's barn. Once there, police say, the suspect jumped out and began kicking and punching the horse before witnesses pushed him to the ground.

He is a wonderful dog, but is not good around infants. Nothing has happened to Wesley, but in order to avoid any mishaps, it is best that he be in another home. It absolutely pains Michelle, Justin and I to do this, but it needs to be done.

We have had him since 10 weeks old and he is now just over 2 years old. He is well trained, smart and very loving. Gus is a Lab/Border Collie mix and I have a ton of pictures of him. If you, or anyone you know is looking for a great companion, please contact me. :(

(IMPORTANT)



Hang on to any of the new Minnesota Quarters you may acquire.
They

may be worth MUCH MORE than 25

cents!



The US Mint announced today that it is recalling all of

the
Minnesota quarters that are part of its program featuring quarters

from each state.
This action is being taken after numerous reports

that the new
quarters will not work in parking meters, toll booths,

vending machines, pay
phones or any other coin-operated

devices.



The problem lies in the unique makeup of the Minnesota

quarter,
which was designed by a couple of Norwegian specialists,

Sven and Ole.
Apparently the duct tape holding the two dimes and

the nickel together
keeps jamming up the

machines. ]]> Exploring every thing under the sun!!
