Arizona Run, Spring 2003 Photos!

[Rick]

That's the turbo. He was on his way to get it when he called. He needed directions back to the trail head.

All in- All out

 

[Dust]

everyone was under the impression that he had it worked out. I towed it back to the trailhead and he said he was getting someone to tow it later that day or sunday morning. I did my deed in getting it out of where it was

THUNDERHORSE

Does anyone know if Jerry "THUNDERHORSE" made it out on this run? He drove out from Corona, CA and has a Red and Silver Explorer - 1991 model year.

Well the deal with the turbo Ex was a interesting one, I had agreed to try to help him, by using my trailer and truck, but he left after they got his truck to the trailhead, in his girlfriends car. So I had a truck with trailer and 2 explorers to get to town with only one driver, so we figured on picking it up the next day. THen after our LONG day Sunday we tried calling him quite a few times to no avail. It was after 10:00 when we gave up contacting him, and myself, Kevin, and Robb gave up our rescue mission. I gave Kevin the keys, and he was going to reach him Monday morning. I am sorry, I did not want to leave his truck there, but after he bailed on it, I had no help and kinda gave up myself.


On another note has anyone heard from Msupertek?????? he lost his front tranny seal, and had made it past our staging point and into town, he was looking at buying a new truck to haul his Ex back home!

I must say WOW what a weekend, I very long yet short one, that was a lot of fun yet Sucked! I will explain more later, must go to work!

Talk about bad luck!!!!!!!!

Hello everyone. Well Rick the good thing is I made it all the way back to Texas and it only took 16 qts of Transmision fluid, oh and I could only go to gas stations on top of hills because first and second gear are practically inop and I had to roll down hill to catch speed so the tranny would shift in to thrid gear. Overdrive works great though, LOL! Tomarrow I will begin pulling out my Transmission to overhaul it, and I will pick up a new set of hubs from 4Wheel Wholesale (under warranty the one I busted up). I also purchased a F-150 Fx4 as soon as I got back with the towing package. Next week I will purchase a trailer after I get paid, and next time I come down I will bring plenty of extra parts, and will have no fear of my truck breaking down. I can just tow it back home. I have made a lot of plans for my X, so the next AZ run I go to there will be no stopping me. Had a great time even though problems existed, all of ya'll are great people and I look forward to seeing you again.

 

[Rick]

Michael, I'm glad you made it home ok. We were getting worried about you! Getting the tow rig and trailer sounds like a great plan. Hope to see you again soon!

Yea, I'd like to get into a shop. Rick told me where ya work, I dunno if I could handle that drive in traffic on a daily basis though. Probably has to be 50 miles to get to your end of town, but if ya know of anything, I'd still appreciate if ya let me know. I'd check it out.


& I'll probably give him a call here soon Hammer.

Sorry I disappeared for a few days, had a bit of a family emergency.
