I'll be able to make this. I voted Superstition. I really liked the sand dune part last time I was there.

Hmmm....I think I may take some vacation time and go to this one and THEN the Baja 1000 later that week. I'll have to see, but either way it may turn out that I show up late on Friday.

I'm really stoked about being able to make this trip. These trips are always good times. No jumping for me while we're out there...I still don't have bumpstops yet :eek:

HE IS ALIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Glad to see you are doing okay out there! PM me when you expect to pull in.

Very cool that you will make this trip. I know you were bummed that your schedule would keep you from wheeling this season.

Still here. Just really busy. 10 days of unread posts are a lot of catch up on.

Cake and the Black Pearl sounds good to me. I think I'm going to go for sleeping in the bed of my truck like I always do out there.

If I go that will be my first option as well. The last trip had winds blowing my freakin tent on top of me. I'll take the comforts of my Taco thank you.

wow, havent checked in a few days, cept here and there...

i had a huge unexpected expense, the laptop which i rely on soly for my school stuff (i have a desktop that takes care of everything from movies to games to pr0n, but not school work) died on me. one of the memory dimms is bad.

i have a new on on the way, 1100 bucks later, should be here next week maybe?

anyway, this is putting a damnpener on the spirit of lifting, installing new tires, brakes(tundra swap), bushings all around, finding out whats rattling and squeeking in the rear(rear fixed windows?), etc. so much work to be done, deff not enough time.

so well see how it goes when i get that far. i might just do the lift and tires, and wait on everything else till x-mas break so i have more time.

I cant wait to wheel areas that I wheeled with IFS before...no more wheelstands.

Unhappy I need help fast.

I took my truck to get it align with 285x70x17. The mechanics couldn't get it align correctly within spec. Please see my tread here

https://www.yotatech.com/forums/f117/lift-alignment-issues-96640/

In addition, with the big tires, my tires rub the A-Arm when I turn. Can I get wheel spacers to fix the problem or I have to get after market a-arm (total chaos), or get new wheels with correct backspace?

Sorry to go off topic on this tread but I need help fast for the trip.
