[boominXplorer]

Well due to me getting a car while I'm at my parents (Fredericksburg). I have to push the time back to 6:00. I will be leaving here by 2:00 and hope traffic isn't bad. Its usually a 2-2.5 hour trip just as long as everything goes well.

[boominXplorer]

Pete for any reason I get in town early I will call you.

 

[pete99ex]

[boominXplorer]

Me pete and a buddy of mine dave with a Jeep wagonner on 42s were out at hope haven tonight, even pete made it though most of it.

Pete man that other trail we went to past battlefield blvd on kempsville was crazy. You HAVE to have 35s at least to get through there. I got stuck on my way in, I didn't have a tire on the ground. Everything else was big ruts and hills. Locker in the front almost neccisary as I almost got stuck about 4 times.

 

[pete99ex]

yeah hope haven was fun i wish i had a bigger truck to go back there. i'll have to ride next time you go to battlefield im not taking my truck if its that bad.

I don't think I'll go to the battlefield till I'm soild on 37s at least. The wagoneer was on 42s and he was draggin diffs in spots, the same spots I had to go through

 

[pete99ex]

when are you gettin started on that? are you using a dana 44, what are your plans?

 

[Bobby D Crawley]

this place you guy's are talking about would it be worth riding from altavista va for, I have a little 88 ranger that likes to climb slick hills. are there any hills. I may try a mud hole or two as long as I'm not up in the engine compartment. also is this place legal.

 

[Josh]

I don't think there are any places in this area that are legal or have given permission to people to use. All places around here are iffy at best. I used to ride at this one place over in Portsmouth for years, hell the cops used to sit out there and watch us ride. Then one day they just start handing out tickets.

Well. i havent been on in a few days, but the steering issue is this: It turns good till about half way, then it feels kinda stuck, then turns the rest of the way. It is the same back to center, and tonight it even felt alittle sticky, like the power was going out. And, im starting to get a bad wobble again. The only thing I havent changed would be the driver side inner-outer tierods. Would this cause this issue?


As far as the portsmouth spot, you talking about Jolliff road across from Cosmos, hicentrd used to go out there alot.

Check your steering extension for the body lift. They can become loose and give those symptoms.

 

[explrths]
