This is my cardomain website. Page 4 has the few pics from last Sunday when Boomin and I went to Newport News and them met up with the others out by Damn Neck.

OH MAN. I really need to get the zuk's exhaust and 4wd fixed! You DO have mud holes in VA!!!

 

[boominXplorer]

there was a stock 2wd chertokee out there and he didn't have much trouble. When I got stuck there I was high centered both times. Lots of room around the deep places but I still gotta try

 

[pete99ex]

ive been out behind k mart dozens of times and dozens of times when i was stock. there are some REALLY deep holes but there are easy ways to get around all of them with my 31's i have no problem out there. youll have fun just feel out the holes before you go through them. its really been rutted out back in ocotber i could get through that spot where boomin got stuck stock but i wouldnt even think about goin through it now even with my 31's but yall have fun if you go up there i wish i could be there

chris
is that first picture at kmart or dam neck. i guess i should have looked more closely before i posted i dont think thats k mart

 

[boominXplorer]

The first one is behind k-mart. I was almost all the way to the right side

Chris, did you ever find out who owns that land on Dam Neck?

Is everyone still good to go tomarrow? say around 1?

 

[WhitEngineering]

I'm in, where are we meeting? At the spot on Dam Neck? Where exactly is it? I'll get there as soon as I can, but may be more like 1:30 for me.

 

[Foggman]

Sounds good, yeah the place on Dam neck. If you are going down Princess Anne like you're going to the court house, take a left on to Dam Neck and just as you pass the Farmers market (on the left) you will see a few little driveway cut outs in the curb (with no drive ways behind them)...just turn in to the one with a bunch of muddy tire tracks leading out of it. I will probably try to be out there by around 1 and my Brother in law with his stock jeep and possibly a buddy with a stock ranger.

I live right around the corner from there (right behind the 7-11 on P.A.) so if anyone wants to meet up at my place or the farmers market just let me know 761-6576.

Still waiting on a call back on permission. There are no "no tresspassing" signs and I tried to call so im still going.

Within 2 months. Trailmaster 4'', perrys 3'' glass fenders, 35'' X-terrains, 4:10s

I am still tracking down a 4406 manual with all the linkage now. I can't find one anywhere and I WILL make it fit without changing the gas tank.

By the summer the front and rear should be locked

If you would have said something sooner I would have let you use mine. Only problem is your truck won't fit in most garages. Maybe if you flatten your tires or have a spare set of pizza cutters you can throw on.

 

[boominXplorer]

actually I have found I can fit in almost every garage. I just can't hit the brakes hard then going in. My roof rack comes about 1/2'' from the top of most.

Thanks Josh for the offer, I am going to Foggman's tomorrow morning to do the gasket.


As of right now I have 2 people meeting me out there from my work to wheel.

 

[Xzibit A]

sweet, my truck is on hold except i might bend up an exhuast someday, but im working on the explorer, shaving everything and redooing the seats and some other stuff to get it ready for some shows

 

[Josh]

Today I saw what had to be the gayest(SP) Explorer I have ever seen, EVER! It had the back side windows covered and the whole roof and back side and half the tailgate was covered in that cheesy vinyl with padding. Inside was wall to wall green carpet. Thank god it was in the junkyard.

Sorry a little off subject but had to get it out.

 

[boominXplorer]

any 95+ 4x4?

 

[Josh]

There was a 2nd gen out there but not sure if it was 4wd. Pick-n-Pull aka U wrench it always has explorers out there. What are you looking for?

 

[pete99ex]

chris have you ever been to johsons mustang and truck parts theres probably close to a hundred explorers out there about 60 % are second generation.

[boominXplorer]

I'm looking for 4x4 parts.

Pete where is that at?

Had a great time today... Was nice getting into a bunch of mud instead of my usual dry mountain trail. Got to really put the ProComp m/ts to work, I'm impressed to say the least. Special thanks to Chris for pelting the INSIDE of my drivers door with mud.. Lesson learned: Keep all doors and windows closed at all times!! Some teaser pics below... fullsize pics here Got a couple videos I'll get up before too long
