Me and Mikeys87 are planning atrip the last week of April. What do you guys think? by then we should have our rigs ready for the trails. And it is far enough in advance to make plans.




PS if anyone wants Seafood for dinner Let us know. We can bring it up fresh!

mmmmm shrimp and scallops. . .

i guess if most people agree with that choice we can go with it. It's plenty far ahead so im almost certain id be able to go that weekend, assuming my truck EVER gets finished

OUr school club is heading to uwharrie the weekend of april 23-25. We are gonna be staying at the hunt camp i believe. WE should try and get together or you guys can come join the festivities one night

That sounds good to me I guess, all things considered, I really need to get some new springs hung and shocks mounted up before I hit any trails. Negevtive arch scares the hell out of me. I need someone to weld for me before then, I refuse to pay someone out the ass to just weld on hangers and shock mounts.

That sounds good to me but crap... I just remembered I don't have any skid plates. I guess I could remount the bent up stock ones with a spacer (I think thats all i have to do to get them to go back on). But that would be a good weekend for me too because that is the weekend after mid-terms. Schweet! I can't wait to see everyone's rigs! I'm already excited. Bring all the seafood you want! I'll bring the BBQ! Matt and Jon, I know you want to bring the x!

Jermey and I will be rebuilding my front axel this week and possible I can get things going with the suspension soon, my major problem now is the motor, the 22RE is burning oil faster than I feel comfortable with. I may just go cheep on the suspension and start a supra swap while I still have the 3rd gen. Stupid 85 if I had known it was gona sweep this much cash out from under me I woulda never bought it.

I'm up for some sea food and BBQ that sounds like one hell of a combo. Austin I'll just leave your "x" comment alone, I'm scared to ask.

x-star???????????????????????????????

turboale

Yesssss sir!!

Scott, I'm sorry to hear the "new" truck is such a head ache. But dude... You did buy a truck thats almost 20 years old. Desireable setup yes. desireable age, no. The idea of an 85 as a trail truck isn't so bad. But having one as a daily driver is quite a feat for a 20 year old car that hasn't been completely papered or completely restored. I hope things start to level out for you and you don't have to keep dumping money into it. Just wait til summer and it warms up and you will be tearing up uwharee with the top off

OK time to start thinking about accomodations.
We stayed @ arrowhead campground last time. (and probally will again)
Any other suggestions?
I have checked on availability at Arrowhead and right now we can get a few campsites together. But we cant wait because they will be going fast.
Let me know so we can start reserving them.

NCSU-4runner

we probably need 3-4 campsites depending on how many people are going, definetly a good idea to reserve them early. Do you have to pay ahead?

Stump1883

Yeah last time, we started with one, added another and then another, we fit around 10 trucks in there. If we can reserve w/o paying ahead then lets do that, we're gona need the space.

turboale

Yeah, lets make sure we have a place to stay. I'm not sure about names, but lets get the place that we went the first time. I can't remember the name, but it was the one on the lake. We will need the lake front ones... espcially if we can talk matt and jon into bringing their boat . Heck yeah... i'm so ready for summer!

customcruiser

i dont mind staying on the trail -- its free

Hyperlite

there is no trailer for the X-Star
The lake is called Baldin Lake and that is where we met the other time.

here is a link to the arrowhead camp area. You have to pay to reserve the site. This is the only site I know of that has hot showers. (Me and Mike are taking our wifes so we must have some creature comforts)

Well in that case I guess Badin Lake Campgroud is off limits. Our shower for the weekend was the lake it's slef, Jon was the only one to attempt it at the time though.

I would vote for the trail if we didn't have to have amenities, or if they even allowed it. But then again we would have to put up with truck on night runs. But hopefully we will be making another night run. I better get some protection for the underside

runnerboy97

so whats dates are ya'll goin.

seaflea

I was thinking about the 23-25 of april.
I think that is the same weekend you are headed down here
Me and Mikeys87 are going to reserve our camp sit tonight or tomorrow night.
I will let everybody know where it is located as soon as we do it.
We would like to get a place that has plenty of area around us for the night time

runnerboy97

cool, we will have to chill one night, i would like to meet some fellow yotatechies.
