[Stic-o]

13th or 20th here too..

and if Tim wants too go I can pick him up.

 

[Mike 92 XLT]

The apartment is still up in the air right now (damn flaky LA people), but I'd say the 13th looks better than the 20th for me.

Hey guys, this is my first post, and just wanted to let everyone know there is one more exploder junky in Orange County! I have a 97 2wd with 3" spindles, aal, 2" torsion twist, and 31x10.5's It's currently in pieces in my garage as it's getting a 3" Body lift and spring over in the rear to fit my new 35" Pro Comp x-terrains = ) I decided to just go ahead and skip the whole 33" phase and jump straight to the big stuff. And a word of warning to anyone attempting a body lift on a 2nd gen, it's a @#$%!!!! We just keep running into one snag after another (it's been in my garage for 4 days running). But if anyone is attempting it and needs some help, I now own every tool and have the knowledge it takes to perform one. One of my buddies who's been helping me out with all the lifts has gotten so addicted he went out and bought a 3" lift for his ranger and is taking my 31's, talk about an addicting hobby! Anyway, once I get my rig back up and running I'm going to take it out for a run on Indian Truck Trail. Anyone is welcome if they so choose to come, it's a nice easy trail possible in a 2wd but has some wicked side trails we wouldn't do in a 4wd jeep. Feel free to e-mail me at gemrox888@aol.com

Welcome

It took me 8 hrs to do my 3" body lift, and only 5 to take it out, both times working by myself. If you have any more questions on it just PM me.

Mike, are you looking for 31's? I will have some BFG Mud Terrains for sale cheap very shortly if so.



As usual, my schedule is all messed up now so just pick the date when you guys wanna go and I'll do my best to join. No day is better or worse than another for me.

Jefe have you ever run the trails in the San Emigdio mts? just down the road from Lockwood? I saw a 4 mile trail up there listed as "most difficult" by the forest service and a handful of other trails listed as "more difficult." May be interesting with the bit of snow.

Ditto!

Oh corse it helped that Jefe did all hard stuff first when it was on his truck!

 

[Jefe]

OK, so, It looks like this weekend is looking the best. Everybody ready to wheel?

Looks like its gonna be 75-80* out there

Wanna meet at the Sand Canyon In-n-Out like usual, and drive out together?
As for time we could do early (say meet at 8 or 9am) and do lunch on the trail, or we could eat lunch at InO (for Mikes sake ) and then head out there. Any opinions? (figure 1.5 hrs out, 1.5 hrs back and say 3 hrs on the trail)

You took it out already??

 

[Mike 92 XLT]

Joe -

As soon as I get a daily driver, I'll be looking for 31s. I'm supposed to look at a car tonight, so keep me posted on when you're going to sell yours.

And, it looks like the Jeep won't be able to run the trail this time around. The hot weather has been kind enough to point out that my cooling fan isn't working, so I'm having some overheating issues that I need to get resolved. However, I'd still like to go if someone has a seat for me.


Mike

 

[Stic-o]

No! I've been given a 35's a solid axle yet!

What your Bro asking for the 33's anyway? Or did he already dump them?

Mike there's always a seat open

However if Jobunn can't make it is this gonna be a 2 truck run?

the 33's are sitting paitiently in the garage. Not sure if he's listed them somewhere or not.

man, only 2 rigs?

I also have a front seat open, and my truck is much more fun

 

[Brother_of_Jefe]

The 33's ARE sitting patiently in the garage, and I was going to check around to come up with a reasonable price. I haven't measured yet, but I believe the four are still at least 50% tread, and the spare has never touched the ground. If anyone is really interested, they are BFG A/T KO with approximately three trips to Moab and five trips to Truckhaven on them. Make me a resonable offer. They are not mounted, since I decided to keep my old rims. (No, Stic-O, I can't afford to donate them!)

 

[Stic-o]

No, Stic-O, I can't afford to donate them!

LMAO! I didn't think so! I was just curious if maybe they were cheap enough and in a little time I could get some cash. The Donation thing is kinda a joke!

I just know I'm gonna have to put out for rims too Sooo.

I also have a front seat open, and my truck is much more fun

Well I say we could just go down to 1 for more fun, but who's gonna pull you back over when you put it on it's side again!
