Yea kind of figured if a lot of people do come you would need that spot for parking.you HAD to bring up the yeti im setting up' booby' traps this year and putting my trail camera up.ill get a pic this year! !!

you might just get me sleep walking in my tighty whiteys... what??? bahahahahha just kidding

 

[DominicanX]

I'll probably be up for this one. Already have my lift/coilovers done and will definitely have front/gas tank skidplates by that time...hopefully rock sliders too. If I have any extra money I also would like to have at least the rear axle set up with a limited slip.

I am probable as well. Trying to get my OnBoard air adressed within the month, and electrical issue should be fixed this weekend (crossing fingers).
I'm newly engaged, so it's hard to find time for anything with that on top of grad school work... damn I have not time.

Definitely going to try my best!

 

[Xeek]

Xeek & JD, THANKS!

No problem about last trip. I have a really cheap torque converter! Thats the bottom line. It doesn't lockup in low rpms so the tranny overheats. If I don't replace it by the trip I will probably run the trails in 1st and 2nd gears to reduce stress.

I have the plans set for the tank; its going up where the spare tire would be and will utilize a rim as the mounting point and then will us the spare tire winch system to hold it in place. That way I can disconnect, if I don't want it up there.

Will be consulting with James in the near future.

 

[Xeek]
