All Ford Nationals and Paragon run, (PA) May 2003!!

[Doug]

I finished the herculiner today and i gotta say it looks good. I herculined up to the molding on the doors from the front fenderflare to the rear fenderflare and i herculined the inside, no more carpet. No herc on the hootus but i have it on my hands and arms and i cannot get it off... looks like ill be wearing long sleeve shirts to work for the next few weeks. I'm gonna be busy with my truck this week, getting new rims for the 33s tomorrow and my 35s are going on my steel rims but im gonna paint them black before i mount up the 35s. the truck is also going soa sometime this week before the 35s go on and i still have to order my fender flares from JCwhitney. Spas messed up her rim when she tried to follow me.... damn curb just jumped out and bit her.

It's just the opposite for me. My truck looks worse now than it ever has. I pulled off the moldings on the drivers side doors and, well.... for all those who asked me if my truck has been repainted, the answer is yes. Man am I pissed!! There's a paint line all the way around where the moldings were... and to make it worse, when they taped it off, they taped better than they washed and there's dirt under the paint. Oh well, the moldings are off now and the lines arent too noticable. I also had the body shop attempt to buff out a 1" scratch on my fender and they managed to dull out the paint on HALF of the fender. Going back monday. But... What am I gonna do. I've got a show a week from tomorrow and then AFN's two weeks later. This show coming up is gonna be a bit more techincal than the AFN's. They will be putting mirrors under my truck.

Oh, quick vote... Wing on or off. If you say on, tell me why and don't say because it looks good.

 

[Spas]

Wing OFF! Reasoning: So I'm the only one at the show who has one

IamTodd, Doug's right; Stupidity + Ice= one hurtin' Bullitt If anyone should come across a single one in good shape for cheap, feel free to PM me...

fri no, sat yes. sunday still thinking. i dont wanna break it yet. can someone explain the trails, and i guess once your on them your committed cuz someone will be behing you. just some basic info (please) also i see that some people are having a hard time finding a hotel. i live in gettysburg i can board 2 or 3 for sat night if you dont mind a couch, chair or floor. maybe in trade to ride with you on sunday.

Paragon, stock Ranger, 125" wb, can make it through all the greens, and some blues with a little bottoming, not taking my time. Your truck looks taller, and your wb is shorter, advantage, you Although, I will be sitting on the XX 33" Cooper ****s come tomorrow

 

[Redrig]

so you think ill have no problem? im used to trailing but not in a x does it cost to run the trails? if so how much.

 

[explornj]

the only problems I had on the trails with my old truck was the mud holes, but I think I would have done better if I had tread on the tires and not running slicks in the woods

 

[Doug]

You'll do fine with 33s. We've gotten completely stock explorer through paragon with no damage. We're going to be doing easy stuff but i think chris is planning some harder trails with bypasses. All you stockers can watch the big dawgs play. Paragon is 35 dollars a day and you'll need to buy a flag and depending on which one you get theyre like 2-15 dollars. I was running blue one trails with my 97 sport with nothing more than a TT and 31s.

[Skunk]

When it comes to the trails.... just follow me....

Oh yeah,... Happy Mothers day all you Mother F'ers

 

[Doug]

Whatever you do.... DONT FOLLOW ME! im lost

 

[Muskrat]

well john, I don't think your truck is such a good judge, didn't you get hung up on Turtle? Hell, I came up that trail, while my rear u-joint was grinding into the cab with no problem

 

[Spas]

We've gotten completely stock explorer through paragon with no damage.

>>GRINS HUGELY<< And I've still got pictures to prove it...

 

[Muskrat]

and scratches

 

[Spas]

well john, I don't think your truck is such a good judge, didn't you get hung up on Turtle?

And I can count the number of times you've chosen a bad line on one hand, right? PFFFFFFT! We all make mistakes, rat boy Be nice!

 

[Muskrat]

I'm just saying that the if the longest, lowest, manual truck in the group, with street tires can get through something, a shorter, better equipt truck will go through without a problem. I always pick the bad lines, I want to get the truck stuck, but don't follow me if we have to go through mud, I'll loose, I'm about to just be pulled through mud

 

[Doug]

*blah blah blah ***** ***** ******

 

[Muskrat]

of course

 

[IAmTodd]

So I do have a chance to get through :frustrate :fire:
