Silverwood/Arrowhead January Snud Run

[R.J.]

i have explorer lights with a black billet grill. the stock mazda parts are still in the garage. im thinking about putting it back on

 

[mounty71]

O i knew you had explorer front end installed, what i meant was you had the mazda stuff in your possession.

 

[cybergasm]

Friday sounds good to me it'll be interesting to start from the other end this time

I'll be there regardless of these other youngster's decide Since i am wheeling junkie now

RJ will the navajo grille work with your glass? thought that was why u were running the Explorer stuff in the first place.

 

[Stic-o]

I love the mazda stuff on the front, it just hard to replace when you break Although I really like fakrwee new front end with the old b2 ranger grill

 

[cybergasm]

it just hard to replace when you break

yea i know this since i have been trying to find a set of Navajo taillights for a little different look on my Explorer but there virtually impossible to find.

Lot's of guys claim to have em on E-bay but then you look at the picture and there just OEM Explorer Lenses

I'll be there regardless of these other youngster's decide...

lol...I'll be there regardless of whether or not my truck is ready or not.:
Hmmm...Thurs to do list - get trans rechecked, have t-case checked, install trans temp gauge, and mount at least one front tow hook...

...Since i am wheeling junkie now

Ha, this will be my fifth run in five weeks...probably why my pos still isn't running quite right.

well u got me beat since i don't have too many friends that wheel so i jump at every chance i do get.

EDIT my to do list this week is to pull the plugs and check the wires so i can try to figure out why i am getting in intermittent miss in the motor.

 

[R.J.]

im thinking of some ideas for puting the mazda grill and lights on. ill start a thread about it sometime. but once i break anything i'll prolly switch back to the explorer front end again.

mazda front end will work with fiberglass. i changed it move the blinkers higher/out of the way more

navajo taillights are different? ok sorry, this really has nothing to do wiht the topic of the thread

 

[R.J.]

i don't know aobut it in mud, but in dry weather i had fun there with my almost stock 2wd

 

[R.J.]

and if your like me, just staying on the easy road is fun

 

[mounty71]

Haha, that video's cool, looks like a lot of fun!

 

[Exploderpilot]

I just need to save some gas money for friday, and i'm ready!

OK sorry sir topic is back on topic:notworthy

 

[Exploderpilot]

Cyber, If I bring a tarp to line the back of the blazer, do you wanna throw that motor/trans in there after this run?

yeah that'll work

 

[Exploderpilot]

sounds good. I put some new stuff in that photo thread of mine.....lots going in tonight.

 

[Boomer12]

My truck will be going back to the shop on Thurs...

So I just got back from the trans shop, and I'm not very happy...

After reexplaining to the guy the signs/symptoms of my problem the guy told me that I'd have to leave it with him for 2-3 days and that it probably needs to be rebuilt. After reminding him that he just rebuilt it 60k ago, and that it still drive/shifts just fine under normal use he remarked "sorry, don't know what else to tell you". I told him thanks for his time, but even if it needs to be rebuilt, since his only last 60k, I'll need to find somewhere else...

So I' m gonna due some more research, and tinker around a bit... worse case scenario - I still go tomorrow but stick to the easy stuff...

 

[carlover]

Well im out for this. I cant get the day off tommorow.

 

[Ritsui]

Sorry to hear that. Sounds like you might be better off getting a low mileage junk yard transmission and replacing it outright?

As for doing easier trails, I may be in the same boat as I could have more damage than I thought from the last run. I have to get under the truck and try to actually see what I am feeling, but I am not sure I want to put too much stress on the front end before dealing with it (whatever it is).


Sorry you can't make it, carlover .

 

[mounty71]

I won't be making it either, sorry guys But in a few weeks i'd like to go. Now the wait for truckhaven...
