BTW, any of y'all need some parts for your X's, like a locker, a full length skid plate, shackle skid plates and rock sliders??? I may be selling mine soon. I'm going tomorrow to look at another truck that (should I buy it) will be my trail rig
Now I remember that i was suppsed to send you the $$ for that extra skid plate material.... you might be needing that for the new template for your new rig.... but I would like to buy that Skid plate off of you if you think it would fit.... and ahem the rock sliders may come in handy too....
Muskrat......I was only joking..... since my Ex is trail only now I think I can safely say the sway bars are as good as gone..... I took them off about 3 weeks ago.... I would just like to have some quick disconnects made in case I do need them.....

Nice Darren. Karol I'll look into quick disconnects like what Jeff has in the back, they should be easy enough to machine, but I don't know how much time I'll need to do it.

I'll be there for the early august run. I don't think I said yet that I was sure I would make it. I didn't want my Explorer to be totally stock so I made some swaybar quick disconnects for it.

Hey I have a great idea, let's all go and ride in everybody elses truck so we don't actually have to wheel in our own trucks.
What is the point of going out to wheel if you ride along with some other guy. I will never understand that....NEVER.
Karol, if you go, make sure you install some mirror guards.
Lindsey, invest in some ear plugs, if you don't hear the WORD, it won't bother you.
Oh and by the way, the places lizard is gunna take you only requires 2wd, no reason to RIDE ALONG with someone....*cough*pussy.
ANYWAY, love to hang with you dudes, but the wedding has priority.
Draper, I swear, if you buy the Zuk I'm gunna drive over it...er....put it in neutral and back over it......or...something.
Also, for all you ride-a-long wussies Lindsey took her prestine X out on the trail and kicked ass. Thought I'd send out some motivation for ya.
MUCH LUV!
Toodles.

Hey Jeff, those actually look kinda cool, especially since it's a trail only vehicle you can tear the doors off, bang it all the hell up and not care. I saw a bunch of those at paragon the last time I was out there and they all had solid front axles, does it come stock with that?

Get me a driveshaft out of a 98+ supercab Ranger w/ 4.0, and 4x4, and my truck will be there I can't risk this crossmember. If I get a shaft, and cut out the crossmember, I wheel without it until I find the right one Goeff, in the words of Namitey, "It's all good because I got a transfer case
"
Jeff, my stock Ranger has more flex than that, but it's cool, just drop a Ford power plant in, and an 8.8, and I'll call it an honorary Ex.
