That's weird. Make sure when you download it, it comes to a size of 107Mb. Sometimes the download get's interrupted or something and the data gets garbled (technical term) and the video won't play.

If you still have problems, I can try emailing it to you in like 12 parts!

Do you have the latest version of Quicktime? It shouldn't matter as I've played it with Quicktime 6, I believe. But the newest version wouldn't hurt.

On my computer, the file says that it is 110,272KB.

Oh yeah, did any of the other guys get any photos of the excitement that we missed at the Safari?

I think you would have been fine. I was just pushing her a bit and made a stupid driver error on a 45degree decent. No big deal. We had her on the trails againin no time.
The cool thing about me breaking ( that sounds ˟˟˟˟ up) is that now I know how to do a CV and now could easily do it on the trail if needed. Spare CV is now standard wheeling gear for me so no worries.

Manual Hub conversion is in the works for my Runner and will really open up the posibilities for more lift and strength. So I am actually glad it happened.

So many ideas enter your gray matter after a wheeling trip. The guy that wanted my Tokico shocks offered me his Hella FF200s so...I'll have to figure out how to install them . I can't wait to get all these mods done for the next trip!

I'm definitely feeling what your feeling. My short list after the trip:

*CB (so I can make sure I'm not getting clowned, or at least participate)
-- btw, I went to fry's, but had a couple of questions that I'll ask sometime in
the forum if I ever have a chunk of time to do so

*Sway bar disconnects (if they even have those for a 4th gen??)
-- maybe the face plant wouldn't have been so severe on the dropoff

*Some bigger shocks for the rear
-- the front hoes are just way too much for the small billies over the
whoops

that sounds like a plan, jared. When you buy your CB, consider a quality antenna to go with it. Eric had problems receiving us with his Wal-Mart antenna. Let me know if you need an extra set of hands wrenching.

Let me know if you need help with the cb setup, I've learned alot through my trials. It's all about tuning, getting atuneable antenna, and good coax. I have an SWR meter, so if you need help tuning, I can deliver.

I couldnt agree more, I am thinking the same thing. I bottom out pretty easy on the bump stops w/ my new set up. Im thinking of just ditching the sway bar also. I just can't drive like a maniac on the street anymore...

I'm surprised you don't have it. I thought it came in the box with front coilovers!

That's the book that Mark and I were looking at to figure out where the hell the slot was. I'm glad I had it too, because it would be hard to know that the slot is a one-way trail until it was too late.

Between you and dfireballd I'll definitely need some help. I admittedly know NOTHING about CB radios. Once I get done with this month of back to back Mammoth trips, I'll give you guys a PM or call to give a moron some help.

I wasn't even aware you had to get them tuned, so I definitely need some help!
