donations

ok, guys that are going to the gilmer trail! I was wondering if any of yall would be willing to donate a straight front axle that will fit an explorer. i know this is kinda weird of me to ask but im 17 with about 0 dollars in my name after insurace and gas gets me. i want to go staight axle so i can get rid of IFS, i have a freind that works at Pellit Performance who is willing to help me install but i have 2 get one first. also will be willing to accept other parts that will help, cause some day i wanna have a beast explorer like all of yall in the elite explorers. i know some of you have parts lying around with no good use, so pls help. thanx.

[james t]

cool... get to see the pumpkin in action.
test drove the xj last nite and no brakes. one thing after another. but i am there for sure.

If your brakes fail and you come bailing down a hill then aim for my junk. It's old iron; you wont hurt it. Also, there's not much of it left to tear up anyway.

 

[swak6287]

i'll keep that in mine, james.

hey trakmgk

what are the specs on ur 33s again?

 

[Randall]

My truck should be out of the shop on Tuesday with the new bumper, so I should be ready to go. They are also having to relengthen the tv cable from bow tie overdrives, which they say is about a foot too short.

almost ready. i think part of my brake problems are air in the lines. so, let see if bleeding it does any good. bought the oh-so-very expensive injector to be replaced also. other than that.. i think it is good to go.

 

[jake the snake]

are all the guys that are going on this trip driving rigs with serious mods and lifts?

 

[Trckmagik]

Everyone on this run will be running at the least 35's (DeJello?). All vehicles will be locked front and back with the exception of a few. This is considered a Big Dawg run for sure.

jake, i am not that big of a dawg, so, come on out and if the crew heads off to death valley, we can detour to something less white knuckling. i only got 33s only also.. but hey, u never know. tons of trails out there.

 

[jake the snake]

swak,

considering the fact that i am a virgin to the gilmer trails, and also that my x-sport is my daily driver, i think that i will wait to break my cherry until there are some non-lifted rigs going that i can drive with. i don't want to go all the way there (probably six hours of driving) just to park my rig to ride with somebody else. plus, i have no lift and 31's. i'll pass, guys. have fun and lemme see some pics when you get back. i want to get shackles and coil spacers before i hit gilmer anyways. anybody got a line on some used ones for cheap?

 

[Trckmagik]

I have some Warrior shackles that are yours for 15.00 dollars plus 15.00 shipping. So thirty and they are yours.

And if I am not mistaken Jeff (SVO) has some F150 Spacers he will be selling.

Try to be there by 9 am on Saturday morning. I dont want you to miss the group.

 

[james t]

EVERYONE PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING-

We will arrive at 9am Saturday morning. We will meet at the front office and wait there until 9:30 for the stragglers. If you get there later than 9:30am then contact the group via CB. we will be on channel 30. Remember that-

CHANNEL 30

 

[Trckmagik]

And for those of whom are towing a rig. We can sign in at the office at 9 then take your truck and trailer to camp to unload. We will then meet back at the office and wait until 9:30.

 

[james t]

Oops, didnt think about camp. Anyhoo, there will be SOMEONE at the office from 9-9:30. If you see an Explorer(s) or a God aweful green early Bronco, then holler 'cuz its one of us.

 

[bobdreadknot]

so then what time would we be leaving?

 

[swak6287]

takes 2 1/2 hour from my house. so, u do the math, bob.
