Badlands 08

[JMan689]

(winter cliffs run anyone?)

YES i'm totally down for that.
Anyway, so....do you still need you solid axles? or what? I got a friend thats got a few D44s and a 9" laying around...

I have to officially say that i will not be there. My business has taken off and i can not afford to talk a weekend off. Sorry guys.

Come on....its just one weekend.

aww come on burns! I was just about to ante up for this one too.....i was gonna ship my trailbike....

Go for it.

 

[Exploderpilot]

just gotta find out how much it will cost....

 

[Exploderpilot]

what is the closest major city?

 

[Burns]

Indianapolis is the closest big city.


I just cant. I loved badlands. It is a really good place to go. I will go again. However with my business only open Fri-Sun i got to stay with it

 

[Exploderpilot]

What about employees? You have to be there every weekend?

 

[Burns]

I will not be hiring anyone in a management position until they work with me for a few years. I will after a few years because im already looking for another one to open.

 

[Exploderpilot]

399. i'm in. what are the actual dates?

 

[Exploderpilot]

i gotcha. Smart idea. sucks for weekends though. Have you thought at all about staying open all week, and showing slightly older movies during the week?

 

[Burns]

They dont do well during the week. That is one of the reasons they started to all close down. You lose to much during the week. Got to be open for max exposure and cut the rest

I'm goin with the 7th & 8th so colleges are done with finals and it shouldn't be too hot out.

Burns, if thats your plan, how are you going to make Tellico?

well i'll let you know when i have 4wd, and we'll do some easy wheeling.

i'm covered in the axle department. i have dana 60's f&r, that are both about 80% rebuilt. the rear just needs me to complete the disk brake swap, and the front.... well i dont want to waste my time with the 30 spline crap and old beatup hubs, so i'm going to drop another 1100 on 35 spline upgrades. then my weak link will be the rear axle shafts... yay. i have yet to decide if i want to do the 35 spline conversion on the rear or swap a 14 bolt in, but i want to get the swap done first since i already dropped the money on the rear d60 turd.

Wow....sounds good it should be one hell of a beast. Ff you're not busy on a night when it's snowing you should come hang out with us, all we do is climb snow mounds and what not.

Cheater.

So, June 7/8th? I'll throw that into my planner to save the weekend. If not, I'm saying that's the weekend!

 

[mynameisaric]

Agreed.

Sounds good.

I'm good for that weekend. I can bring all the crap that noone wants to haul all the way here (welder, grill, firewood, etc....) Just give me some advanced warning so I can make sure and fit it all on the trailer.


Everyone camping at Badlands?

Anyone coming on friday?

Any interest in a night run. I believe it is 500$ for 50 trucks. It has to be set up in advance so let me know and I can arrange that also. I can get some guys from my local club to go and help offset the price of the night run also if you don't think we can get enough people.

Need anything else, just email me at jdubya20@att.net

I'd assuming most of us will be camping, depending on my schedule i'd like to make it out there friday, probably wouldn't be untill late though.

And i seriously doubt we'll get close to 50 of us.

 

[Dre]

June you guys say? that's a bit far in advance so I can't say for sure what I'll be doing then. If I'm around I shall be there. Still trying to pick-up the pieces after 18 years in the real estate business went down the drain.

Truck is still here - have not sold it. It's lifted, all together now waiting for Superunner steering... should be ready then... might want to run to Attica to test the set-up.

later,

 

[RFR2212]

Cableguy-i'll be at attica camping. I highly doubt this crowd will be large enough to get the dough for a night run. might wanna do a joint run with RRORC. And if possible, i'd be shooting for a friday afternoon arrival, instead of my traditional late night arrival.

Dre-Good to hear you may be sticking around!

Hopefully in the next month i'll know if i can take vacation. if not, i'll have to see about switch days to get off
