OK, I have four screensavers make. One for each of the runs and a big one that features all three runs. The big one isthe one that I am figuring everyone will want is 21mg with 132 pictures. It will take 17 disks to make one set of instalation disks. So I am going to make a set and then mail it to who ever wants it. From there you can mail it on to the next person that wants it. I recomend sending addresses over e-mail instead of posting, but that is up to you. Who evers address I get first will be the one to start the chain. If you want your own set you will have to wait for a little while for me to buy some disks. I would try and e-mail the zip fle to people, but 21meg is more than my system can handle. Maybe by Hooters I will have two or three copies.

Wow! Matt! 3 inches and what a differnece now. One thing though. You're now driving without the front bumper? scary. If I were you I would definatelly call Duff and ask them to make some kind of pre-runner bumper right away. They are still working on their own design for a winch bumper. Anyway, looks good. Brian, I sent you my address. I can also drop disks over so you can make another copy. One thing though. Let me know where I can dowload the small ones from or just simply e-mail those to me one by one. OK?

Why is that scarey? It.s not likre I plan to hit somebody and if I do, my truck will be wrecked anyway so waht's the difference?

 

[RFR2212]

Gee Matt, what a way to look at it

Then again, if you are looking at it from the other person's standpoint, then I guess I could see how it would be scarey. It's sorta like getting creamed by a forklift.

heh heh heh....

 

[riffman]

no bumper? goo?

 

[2001ExpSport]

Ya, LOL, just the front facia. Bumper is in the garage.

Mounted the fogs today though.

 

[RFR2212]

Genious...I'll leave the bumper off, put the cover on, and throw the fog lights in....Matt, are ya sure ya arent goin at it backwards?
Pete

 

[2001ExpSport]

It's hard to explain, but yes.

I see, it's cool, just putting your quote to justice?
Pete

 

[Dre]

and that's what I meant. Scary to others and you're right about that fork lift thing. The way it looks now anyway if you rearend someone you'll be on top of them anyway, well, unless it's a semi........ (knock, knock) better not!

just think about the possibilities now Matt simply based on what you "did" without that lift!!!

Later,

 

[2001ExpSport]

Ya man, I am ready to roll....

 

[BigDave]

rememner this one?

Now this thread brings a tear to my eye... Without this one I would still be a virgin to the world of off roading...

Also has sentimental value cause I started it about TWO YEARS AGO!!! Goo...has it been that long?


Dave

 

[Dre]

and that's basically how NoIEC was born....... our first run in Attica............ oh, boy, time flies when you're having fun.

Lata,

 

[BigDave]

Does that mean my embership status in the NOIEC will get bumped up?

 

[RFR2212]

Probly not....since it seems ya aren't too heavily involved in most aspects.....

I read the last 2 pages of this thread and it felt like I entered the twilight zone. Here you all barely new eachother, and Brian was a total newbie. Now the guy wants to do a huge lift, and is obsessed, just like me and everyone else. I get(sniff) teary eyed thinking of how I went out on a limb to go wheelin with a bunch of guys I met online. Wether you liked it or not you all taught me a ton, not to mention got my ass home. I check in daily to see what is next , how Pete's swap is coming together, or what Andre is selling. I think the biggest boost was when Andre sent me an axle shaft not even a week before Attica and I got my truck together at the last minute, well sort of. You are a great group, and I think from what I have seen my truck can hang and bang a lot better( what a difference 4-6 inches makes)
I want to see if anyone wants to do the Apple Valley farms run on the 17th of Aug. About 2 hours from me, and if anyone wants to come to LaCrosse on Thurs night I can put em up for the night and we can go from there friday morning, wether you already know me or not, I love to wheel with all the guys I have met.

Well, if you go back all the way back to the beginning you'll see how it all started.... Dave was the guy that reached out to others from Illinois and soon we decided to go on a run. After Attica our apetites grew much bigger so we had another run and then winter interfeared with our plans. If you'd like, you can go back to my page and see the pix and read a bit about that first run......... my truck wasn't even close to what it is today.....the only mod I had on were bigger tires (street 31X10.5 Wranglers). Look where it all got me? thanks to all these guys I have loaded a few thousand dollars into my truck which otherwise could of been just another grocery getter.......

don't you love this?

 

[BigDave]

Pete...you can't take everything so seriously...
