Looks like a great time. I'll eventually get back out there. Who was the winner of the broken leaf springs on the red rig?

Took it to Joshua Tree yesterday. .

Awesome, thanks!

Welcome back, Charlie! You just couldn't use the first explorer because it's white... :p: Looking forward to seeing the progress of the Ranger.

Quick meet tonight with King of So Cal. It was good to meet you and actually see a lifted 4th gen. I'm looking forward to getting these trucks dirty.

I'm going with our olé salt Al Frankin, board name aldive. I'm not sure a lot of newer members know of him, but he had a 1999 4 door that got 30mpg with his witchcraft voodoo science. :D His truck thread with all of his craziness. :) His most famous thread was the HHO generator thread.

That was right after I installed the lift, so I think the front actually settled a little. It did rub VERY slightly on the pinch weld of the firewall which was an easy fix (big hammer).

Sorry, I don't. Superlift and Skyjacker seem to be the most popular. TrailMaster was known to pop a hole in the aluminum front diff, unless you grind down the corner of the bracket. Rancho had a 4" lift using 2.5" lift brackets and 4" springs.

Because you can. I don't see anywhere that Mark says you can't fit 33s with a 4" lift. Plenty of people have. I don't think any of them ride better than others on the street. This is my first explorer with a TrailMaster 4" and 33x12.5s on 8" AE wheels.

Check your PMs. I'll keep my good camera in there this week. :thumbsup:

Thanks! :) I'll keep an eye out. Normally a white GTI, right? I won't be there tomorrow, but the rest of the week for sure. Appreciate it. :thumbsup:

I took it to the desert yesterday. I even got to use 4 low!

:thumbsup: Congrats, FR!

My post doesn't count, but it was fun to go back and find a few I did on here.

This has Gen 1-4 in one picture, but since I own a 4th, this is where I'm putting it.

Looking forward to it! :D

What year Galaxie? I really miss my 63.5...

It looks good. :thumbsup: What size wheel spacers do you have on there, 1/2"?

Since it's not a daily driver, I'd go for it since that is so cheap! I had 4.56s with my 35s and 36s and wish I went lower, and 5.13s is what I would have done. Even in 4-lo, it's not really low enough for real crawling type of terrain. On another note, here is RangerX's rig in it's element...

Matt, you have become a plasma cutting machine! :) all of these fixes you have come up with are great.

Chocolate Thunder was way more interesting to watch this year. On BD, everyone was giving it one light attempt and then winching. Now on Thursday evening, it was great with everyone (non-racer) just going for it. On CT there were different lines so there was some passing, had 1 roll-over, and a...

Here is a link for my photos. KOH 2016 .

What about Back Door, Steve? I'm back and had a blast, but I don't think I have ever gotten that dirty in only 2 days before. :fart: Having the UTVs was key. We were able to go to different obstacles and have fun doing it. I'm going through photos (I took a ton of them) and will post a link...

Getting excited! 30 more minutes then I can start packing the trucks and trailers with the UTVs. The Yamaha YXZ (Jason Weller) did an excellent job getting 7th in their first appearance at KOH!

Watching it at the office here, too. Looking forward to getting out there and I'm very glad I get to stay in a trailer instead of tenting it. Yikes! :)

Sorry, Brian. I would if I could, but I'm not heading out that way until Thursday... :( I'm going to Monster Jam tomorrow!

Bummer! I mean it's good you have the work, but bummer you can't hang out. :)

I just looked at the driver list and see Jeremy Hammer is driving for Fly-N-Hi Racing still. I wonder if he remembers anyone from this site? :)

Congrats! :thumbsup:

OK, I think we saw some others there this weekend. Was it off of Sunrise?

So was it as quiet as you had hoped last night after moving camp?

Here are a couple from the GoPro. I didn't get much with it. Here is one from my phone. We only had 2 trees this year.

I'm back home and already miss being out there. I needed this trip, very much. It was great to see everyone, and it's been too long. I hope to make the trips more regularly again. Thanks for the seat, DB_1, and thank you BKennedy for that beer! Picture Link: Explorer 20th MLK - Colin Ignacio...

A few from today. I miss this so much... I took a bunch with my Nikon and will upload them when I get home tomorrow.

Got it, thanks. See you guys in about 18 hours. :thumbsup:

Looks like Saturday morning for me. I'll be there before the driver's meeting. :thumbsup: Wash or bluff camp spot?

Thanks, Ted. I actually just found a fox file with all of the waypoints and "track points" on pirate. Able to view them on my phone. I'll have to put it in my GPS as well. We'll have 2 UTVs to get everywhere as well. Looking forward to it!

What are the obstacles to get to and watch? I'm going to try and plan a "route" for our group.

Tierra Del Sol (TDS) 2008. There were about 7 of us total, but this was the only good shot I have... 90ranajo(35s) myself (36s) and DB_1 (37s).
