So, what tires on yer truck here in the last pic, Jerry? Are those 33's?

no 31's.....the guide (who had a truck like mine) has a lift,lockers and 33/10.5's....and a 3vze to boot.

and LUMPY is working on trying to keep my exhaust together with something other than a Pepsi can.

as of writing this.....it's still together

LUMPY is home as of about an hour ago.

It was great meeting and wheeling with everybody. Me and the lady had a great time and look forward to doing it again. Ive got a ton of pics and a really slow internet connection so bare with me, Im gonna just post some of the high lights. Sorry i don't know most of your screen names but I think Ive got the first names down!!

and even though i bailed out early i still wheeled for 4 hours and broke something, so that doubly qualifies me to wear the sticker

Well, I like to say I made it home in one piece, but I made it home in two. lol After the day of wheeling on Sunday with Joecan and another Jeep we met up with after doing some trail cutting, I finally tore the bumper completely off. Yay!!!!!!

Only issues I had were the bumper, and my idle, no biggie, The bumper was on the way out before we even started. I think 92Toy's bell crank did in in a little while ago. lol. But that's another story.

As far as the idle goes, some how it went away when I turned it off and back on again. I think it was just the fact I bumped up my timing from 0 degrees to 6 degrees and the fuel pressure set on the weber to 1.5psi. Maybe running a little rich. Setting my timing back to 0 degrees helped the intermittent problem on Sunday, with the exception of some large inclines we took on a few trails on Sunday.

Anyway, pics coming soon.

Zeb8806 06-27-2010 05:53 PM

Glad to hear you guys made out well today wheeling!! I was way to wore out to go today and after taking a closer look at my 4runner glad I didn't! Here are some more pictures for your enjoyment!

Yup I hit it
http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e2...0/IMG_8776.jpg
The last trail saturday night had three lines to choose from, looking back wish I had chose a different one:spank:. Got hung up here and apparently scraped up and dented my drive shaft pretty damn bad. It looks like a twisted pretzel stick!!!! I have a vibration now above 65mph so anybody with a stock driveshaft they would like to sell let me know please!
For the record I did make it:rockin:

xxxtreme22r 06-27-2010 06:07 PM

while I am thinking about it, Liny4runner (not with our group) on here blew a front diff while at the park on Saturday, not even 10 minutes into the ride on his first obstacle.

Not any of us, but this makes me want a tow rig

Too bad the trailer was in the way, but the one on the left is sitting on 40's I think.

Now let me tell you a story on our guide.

About 4 days ago, I put a message on the Rausch Creek Forums looking for a guide to show us around the park a little better. Noone replied for 3 days. Josh (our guide I think that's what his name was.) finally replied the day before the trip. I look at his post count and it was his first post on the forums. He had been registered on the RC Forums since December 09, 2009. Pretty stand-up if you ask me to offer assistance to a bunch of guys who he didn't even know. Hopefully he will eventually make his way here to see our gratitude for his outstanding guidance. He even had a trail run layout already mapped out.

Here are my pics from the East Coast 4Runner Jamboree this weekend...

YOTALUVER on the first big obstacle of the day, if you want to call it that for him.

http://i561.photobucket.com/albums/s...k/PICT0018.jpg

IFS flex poser shots of me and Joecan. Any higher on that rock and my driver rear tire would be off the ground. I think my procomp es3000's are too short. I also forgot to undo my front sway bar.

http://i561.photobucket.com/albums/s...k/PICT0020.jpg

YOTALUVER playing on some hills. Myself and some others decided to sit back on this one. I don't like hills. (I will explain later)
http://i561.photobucket.com/albums/s...k/PICT0021.jpg

Joecan on the very top hill. We all though for sure he was gonna roll coming down this. Pic Doesn't really do it justice. However you can see from the angle of where RyanC was standing how steep this really was.

Joecan and his engine bay. Our group mudrunner. I decided to stay out of most of the large mud holes, due to the lack of a back-up alternator which I fired both of mine the last time I was there.
