Calling all NC Wheelers!!!!!!!!

LBarr2002 · 04-03-2007, 09:14 PM

Arrowhead campground shows no sites available, so I just reserved Badin Lake sites 2 & 3 for my crowd.

Dopler174 · 04-04-2007, 12:34 AM

HEHE. I don't have to camp...I got a small camper down there. Even has cable TV. I'm trying to make it down there Sat and Sun, but I don't know for sure yet. I will at least be there one of the two. Fo Sho.

*Premier* · 04-04-2007, 01:00 PM

take pics of the trip

*Limited Ex* · 04-04-2007, 02:14 PM

Would any of you guys going be interested in buying the following:

4 Pro Comp AT 35x12.50x15 $320
4 Super Swamper Trxxus MTs 34x12.5x15 $180

I think I am going to throw a new set of mud terrains on my Explorer, and need to get rid of the tires that I have.

The Pro Comps are basically brand new, they have full tread all around. The Trxxus' have a few miles on them, some are worn more than the others.

Pictures are in my sig, in the My Pictures page. The ones with the tape measure are the MTs, the other ones are the ATs.

sorry just dreaming

If you want to get technical, yes they could, it would just require a tad bit of trimming!

Dopler174 · 04-05-2007, 10:13 AM

Do It!

*Limited Ex* · 04-05-2007, 03:11 PM

Woo hoo! Got new tires on today, 35x12.5x15 Mud Kings, which is BFGs cheaper version of their MTs, and she now rides spectacularly!

Now I just have to get my winch back together, maybe get the tranny fluid changed, and I am ready to roll! Not sure yet if I am going to get the locker installed or not. The tires set me back pretty decently. Depends on if I can get the tires sold...

zhanx · 04-05-2007, 03:35 PM

whatcha pay for those mud kings?

*Limited Ex* · 04-05-2007, 08:50 PM

They were $141 each. Which after doing some research online, is a pretty good price. Considering most places that sell them for less charge roughly $20 per tire to ship. I am very impressed with them, real deep tread and nice lugs on the side. I cannot wait to give them a whirl in the dirty!

LBarr2002 · 04-05-2007, 11:03 PM

Got my electric fan installed tonight to replace my failing fan clutch and cracked stock fan...Now all I need is a new intake tube to clear the fan and some test time, and I'll be ready.

zhanx · 04-06-2007, 04:11 PM

Caleb not a bad deal on that.

LBarr wait till you see my fan setup.

2 10" pushers and 1 18" puller. I sound like a hover craft now

I just reserved the 19 (old) 21 (new number) which is right by sites 2 & 3. Caleb the wife said your welcome to stay there also.

*Limited Ex* · 04-06-2007, 08:57 PM

Well, it looks like I will only be able to be there Friday. I can head down that way after 11:00, once my class gets out, but I have to be to work by 1:00 on Saturday. Good thing I don't live too far away! How many are planning on being there early Friday?

John, I will probably just have to meet you at the outpost and follow. Stupid memory..

LBarr2002 · 04-06-2007, 09:15 PM

I'm not going to be there till late friday because I don't get off work until 5:00. I'll have some extra space too because we've got 2 trucks, a trailer, and a tent in 2 spaces.

Are all those fans really necessary?

No, he just likes the whurrrrrr sound they make.

zhanx · 04-07-2007, 09:18 AM

i am leaving as soon as i get out of work. (whatever time that maybe before 2 hopefully). first thing i am doing is setuping up camp and stuff like that.

Anyone beside caleb gonna run friday.. and we can do on early trail sat if you got time.

LBarr2002 · 04-07-2007, 11:05 AM

I'll set up camp and it'll be dark, but I'm up for an early morning run saturday.

Dopler174 · 04-07-2007, 03:24 PM

What time are we planning on meeting up Saterday?

zhanx · 04-07-2007, 08:43 PM

anytime you want. looks like we will due an early sat run and then meet up with you late comers. I'll be camping up there. my cellphone number is 910-seven two three - zero seven eight five

caleb any of the tires on rims? love to see what my ex looks like on bigger tires.

*Limited Ex* · 04-07-2007, 10:29 PM

Thats a negative on the rims. Just tires by themselves. If you would like to see them, I could bring them down. The 34s anyhow, Dopler said he has a buddy that might be interested in the 35s.

Let me get a time frame though. If I decide to do a Saturday run, what time would we get started, and how long would it take? I only ask because I need to be at work at 1:00. Which means I will need to be gone by 11:30. .....stupid......pointless.......job......
