Where are all the Virginia Explorers??

My truck is in need of a tranny rebuild and I have a short in my harness. I blew one of the big 60 amp fuses in the engine compartment the other day over by TCC. It killed the entire ignician system. I used a jumper wire and trid to restart my truck to get it home and smoke came out of the engine compartment :eek: I wiggled the wires around and was able to get it home. SOOO, I have a nasty short in it. I need to go over to U-pull-it and get another tranny to rebuild.

Damn, sorry to hear. Need any help just let me know. I have been tossing around an SAS thought, but it will be awhile.

Im going solid probibly this winter. I get a daily driver this week :D. First time out with true 4wd and I snapped an inner tie rod.

Recently I have beening going to a place called Hope Haven to play. Its kinda by North Landing. Its not posted or anything but there isn't TOO much to do like damneck.
 






Is that over by Victoria Park, that new housing dev. by Vo-tech. I went back in the sand pit there
 






Alright you hooligans stay out of my backyard! :p: I have seen a fullsize bronco up to its doors back there when they first put it in. My neighborhood is on the other side of the trees(Courthouse Woods). Still wondering what they are building.

I too am thinking about solid axle as the TTB is worthless on the rocks. We can get an entire front axle front U-pull-it for probably 150. They quoted me 124 for a rear 8.8 with discs and brake hardware included. I just need someone to weld. My best friend is a boilermaker but he lives in Washington state. :mad: I would be willing to help someone in return for a little help with mine. We could have an SAS marothon weekend. I will most likely use a dana 30 unless I can find a 44 the same width as our trucks. The one thing that sucks is I will have to get another locker, unless someone knows of a dana 35 solid front which I dont think they made.
 






I know a few welders, most of which live in NN. My b-in-law welds, but he is in the middle of moving, travis does also, i might be able to talk him into it. He just built the hell out of an older s-10

i get dibs on the RCD kit when you do, lol, i have the itch to go wheelin again. i need to get out
 






I'm up for doing a sas marathon. I don't have the know how to do it all. I'm mechanically inclined, just don't have the experience. If you've got a welder, I'm definitely in.
 






we should all go wheel at that place chris is talking about soon. is that all we have left thats legal around here?

it will be a long time before i can go solid axle. but im saving for a body lift, 33's, gears, bumpers, and sliders hopefully to be done by next spring.

I would get an Aussie locker first. That has been the best wheelin mod I have ever done. My truck sucked with open front and rear. I added an LS a while ago and last may I threw in an Aussie locker. I still have an Xterra supercharger sitting in my garage but I know if I put it on my tranny will grenade :(
 






Yeah its across the road from Vo-tech. Down the hope haven rd. about 1/4 mile on the left. I might be going out there monday afternoon but I'll let you guys know for sure. It will be gooey.

I'm im working on getting a welder now and saving for a plasma cutter. I could then ***** my self out to make all of our trucks solid.

Was thinking about it but not sure. I have a brand new SC, vacum/boost gauge, FMU, and some homemade plates that need finishing. I also have photo copies from a finishe system that are fullsize so I can't imagine it would take much to finish. I just don't know if I'm ready to part with it.
 






Let me know if you decide to get rid of it, I'm sure we can work something out
 






Well if it isnt too late let me know if you go chris.......
