SMORR MO 2010--July 16,17, & 18th

[gmanpaint]

just a question. feel free to say no if you want to, but i was just wondering if this is STRICTLY for members of this site. a good friend of mine has a geo tracker that's pretty stout. he's on a local suzuki forum here in kc. i'm also a member on there, but i don't post much. the guys there are pretty cool, and a few of them have some super nice rigs. i thought it might be pretty cool to extend an invitation to them. if you guys would rather it just be us, that's cool. just thought i'd ask.

There are going to be other makes going with us on this trip, I personally do not have any problems with it. The Smorr the Merrier to me!

If you can get a head count of your attending party, I can just list them along with your name on the attending list as ...turboranger91 +...x amount of people.

Bump To the top of the heap!


Is anyone getting a powered camping site?

 

[MrQ]

It'll be a primitive site for me. Electric is a little expensive.

 

[gmanpaint]

I will be getting a powered site then. I needs my mass quantity of morning coffee, plus its nice to have a air compressor on site. Gotta have the strings of party lights up too...lol

Hmmm, should I bring the small A/C unit for the tent? Ha...

Now that you say that, a little ac unit parked out the side window of the ex doesn't sound too bad in the middle of July.

 

[gmanpaint]

At the very least, run a couple fans in the tent at night for sleeping.

Can we do something about this list?

Turdle ..........................When did he sneak in here? LOL

[MrQ]

Oh Turdle is coming??? Can you please find a way to haul your powders and oven setup up there??!!!

I bet 10 to 1 you will have a out-of-your-truck concession stand for powder coated parts.

But if he did that he couldn't go wheeling he'd be powder coating the whole time.

QUESTION...

I am down in the maybe section, that is because summer school is about to start and I haven't yet been able to talk to my professor yet to find out the dates for all my exams.

I see that no reservation are required to enter the park. right?

However I see that reservations are required for a camping site? I would be pitching my tent in a primitive site. If free spots are available, can I just register for a camping site upon entrance? Or must all camping sites be registered in advance regardless?

What is the last week to register for a site?

Is this an issue that I need to call the management at the park about?

Thanks.

-Also, I will not be brining a rig to offroad, just spectate.

 

[gmanpaint]

Hitchhikingmike,

The primitive sites are just in an open field type set up. I highly doubt all the space will be used up, as they say unlimited primitive sites.

You might want to call and ask Brandon about it. I doubt he will have a problem with you showing up and taking care of everything when you arrive.

There is still a fee for entering the park with out a rig to wheel. Passengers also pay a fee, and they have no way to know who is riding and who is not, so its a cover charge type deal. I think its $5/day.

Still (lots) to do list: Editing as they get finished.

'95
Front locker install
Leaf packs rebuild......Done
Cross member added to rear frame......UGH! Not sure this is gonna happen

'94
Body lift............This weekend
Rock lights....... done
CB installed
Swap rear Autozone shackles for Warn153...Done
T/C, trans, both diff fluid change
Dump the exhaust with 6" turn down after muffler.

Only have weekends to do all this and we don't have many left!!

 

[MrQ]

I also have a list a mile long as well:

Drop and fix valve body (stupid 2-3 slow shift )
Fix leak in tranny pan
Swap in new LS 3.73 axle
New shocks
Still waiting on my shift linkage
Replace front left rotor
Fix all breather tubes
Lift the truck another 1-2"
Pick up the 32's from unclemike
Get the speedo cable and locks from Maniak
Install my new tow hooks
Sway bar disconnects

I am afraid to think of any more...

Also, flexy's with swaybars

I also have a list a mile long as well:
Replace front left rotor

I don't think that you can just replace just one rotor at a time. I you replace any brake pads, calipers or rotors, both side must be done at the same time in unison.

Or else your truck will always pull to one side when braking.

Heres how my truck looks right now ,
few things to do to get her ready.
