All driveshafts are telescoping. They can change length do a certain degree depending on how longthe slip yoke is. I am guessing that most stoke ones are 4-5 inches long in slip. However if you leave your shaft stock and spring over the back of the explorer you lower the diff 4-5 inches(...

Anyone know if they are? Sunday I was over at RangerX's house doing bearings on the one side and took a look at the other and the lock washer that goes between the two nuts chewed th treads all up. I have the old 28 out of my ranger on the side of the house and if they are the same I will pull...

Got back yesterday morning then went and helped rangerx get his truck going. tdavis and myself were the only ones that showed. Every one else missed out on some serious fun especally those with lockers and winches. I got to test my winch bumper I built and it didn't come off so I am pretty...

Man I wish I would have known. We ran in Saturday. I camped up there saturday night and could have meet you guys Sunday and ran the trail again. I ran it with a bunch of guys from the pirate4x4 board. One of the guys that was there competed the week before in cedar city in the ARCA event...

I was just up there last weekend. I ran john bull trail. DO NOT RUN THIS TRAIL. I smacked my diffs a few times and would be way to hard for a stock exploder to do. When we were heading out there we were trying to use the cell phones and could get very spotty coverage in some areas not enough...

I might be able to do a run on the 18th up in the sierras. i am supose to be moving back to fresno around the 10th and then might go run the dusy the 12th or so if I can get a group together or join a group that is going. If I don't break I may be up for doing a run somewhere in the sierras...

If he doesn't have very much time then I don't think Terra del sol would be for him. I know that club takes alot of time to be involved with. I know one guy that is in it and another that is think of joining both great guys that I wheeled with last weekend. Matt

Nope nothing but rangers and exploders aloud:D :D Just joking tell him he is more than welcome to join us. If he is not sure where it is have him email me ( offroader3@juno.com ) and i can meet him or give directions on how to get there. The one thing that will make it nice is if he has a cb...

Have him check out www.ttora.com or something like that. It is a tacoma owners club. I saw a group of about 15-20 of them out in Los Coyates a few months ago. Matt

I don't know when I will be able to get over there. I am going to be out of town all the rest of the weekends between now and the time of this run. Paul, What is the number that you called for info. Id like to get more info for camping costs and etc. Matt

The temp should be pretty nice out there. It also depends on what trails we end up running. If we stay up high in all the trees it should be pretty nice. If we drop down and run the lower trails we will be in the brush and it will be warmer cause of the direct sun light. eather way it will...

Wish I was up there so I can make it. O well at least I get to see the recarnated beast a few weeks later. When I get back up to fresno we will have to do a run sometime up there. Matt

For all you guys still on the border I have another incentive for you. I talked to the editor of San Diego Offroad Magazine today and she said send a write up and some pics and she may be able to squeeze in a few pages in the magazine sometime. I know it is not a national magazine but any...

I guess an earlier post I made got lost so here it goes: Los Coyates is located just outside of Warner Springs CA. If you put that into mapquest it will give you directions to there. From the town take Camino San Ignacho (It is about 200 yards south of the gas station across the street from...

The truck is back together and runnig again. No I just need some time to do a wheeling trip. As far as fixing it so it doesn't happen again I am planning on building some type of drop bump stop and possibly shaving a little metal off the drop bracket. My permenent fix will be a solid axle...
