The totaled one my not be that bad, the insurance company totaled it so I’m thinking it might have a fudged front end. Like broken a-arms or something.

We’ll see tomorrow.

Greg, got room in your yard for 2 more vehicles?

We’ll see!!!

What can I say I love TOYOTA. One can never have to many.

I’ve hopefully got my 87 trooper sold. I wanted a taco when I got my Runner just couldn’t afford one so the price is right now so I figure I can’t pass it up.

If nothing else I can part them out and use the motor for my Runner but I don’t see that happening.

I see a SA trugy running on 35’s (maybe 37’s) in my future.

I figure I need enough for the both of us and most on the board.

Some 35x12.5x15 Kumho’s or BFG Muds. I really want some Firestone Destinations but they don’t make them in 35’s.

If I can sell my 33 BFG’s I’m just going to buy some 35’s and some black steelies for the Runner and put them on and make them fit and try and take it easy on the IFS (yea right, I can hear it screaming uncle already) until I’m ready to SAS her.

I figure it’s better to sell the 33’s now sense they only have like 5500 miles on them.

I’m working a deal out for 2 e-lockers. One has 4.10’s and the other has 4.30’s but I’m getting them for a killer deal.

I’m going to take a crash course in installing ring & pinions and install my on ring & pinion.

I don’t think the Runner will be ready for this Tellico trip but should be ready for the next trip.

One of the Tacoma’s I’m going to look at tomorrow might have an e-locker in it. I’m getting them from a lady that had no idea what I was talking about so I’ll see tomorrow. If it does I plain to take the fenders and bed off and just put my 33’s off the runner on the Tacoma that runs and bring it up and take on SlickRock.

We’ll see I’m not getting my hopes up about wheeling hard this trip. I’m planning on it just being one hell of a fun weekend and just watching and meeting new people and if everything works out taking on SlickRock.

Brett, I'll definitely miss everyone a lot! I've had a lot of fun on all these trips, that's for sure.

Where the holes already there or did you just have to figure out where to put them?
I bought the under the runner tire carrier off E-bay - I had to drill two of
the 4 mounting holes but it was no big deal. Thinking of a CUSTOM tool
box like mine ? The rear tire carrier is a PITA if you haul trailers and such.
I got rid of my tire because there always seems to be something attached to my runner. I do boat work by the way.

Hell I could not even open the door - no mud inside but it was EVERYWHERE ELSE. The locals carry a set of fishing waders to wade into the mud and hook the winch cable.
Apparently they do this all the time. 4 Jeeps on 35's and 33's with me and my 4 runner - later we went over to the Clifty river and drove up and down some water falls - water was only 1 - 2 feet deep.

The rock in the river is flat solid huge pieces and they were doing donuts
on the rock. Cool way to clean the bottom of the runner after the mud
hole experience. I was wheeling with some true RED NECKS !

Um, 3 I guess. Me, you, and Greg. My brother (going to be designated cameraman ) will be riding along with me. Looks like Chris is moving to Colorado and I'm not sure about Andy or Doc.
