I saw on ne of the boards somewhere that you're thinking about a flatbed. But what about those bling tail lights you have now? You'd have to swap them over.

Yo Jackson,

I sent you an e-mail Thursday, did you get it? We are all set for Sunday, right? I assume we'll all meet at Paragon in the lot like last time...around 8:30-9:00am? Which way do you go 'cause I'm leaving from my house in NJ Sunday morning and didn't know if we could meet up on the road.

Well I guess either reply here or email me.

Later.

I don't think I can make it, I had an adventerous night in the city yesterday . I'm feeling the after effects still at this moment waking up at 5am tommorow to get there on time is sounding a little rough. I'll catch up next time.

Well that sucks, you need 3 people to ride at Paragon and you were one of those 3. I have no idea if Jackson read this yet or not? I'm still going and I hope he is... Hopefully we'll find a 3rd truck to go with us or another group to tag along with.

Maybe next time.

Greg

Sorry for the late notice - we have no Internet access at home.

Greg - yes, I did get your e-mail and I replied to it... something must be wrong with my e-mail here at work. Anyways... I am still going, I should be getting there around 9:00, planning on meeting near the registration trailer like last time.

I think I've got another rig coming down with me. He said he wanted to go, asked me when/where we were meeting, asked for my phone number. I gave him all the info, but haven't heard back from him. Crap... I wonder if he's not getting my e-mail either. Damn.

Well, I'll be there, you'll be there... we'll see what happens from there I guess.

It's greg's (4 the Hard Way). I'll let him give the gory details, but it's a SASed first gen with dual lockers, crawlers, and 38s. see his posts above. I think his website is in his sig or profile.

I only took a few pics... I should have those posted tomorrow. We had an excellent group that rolled right along - we didn't get bunched up so there weren't many photo opportunties.

I've got a list of trails we ran on my site... pics should be added tonight or tomorrow.

lol... hey Pete - it was good to meet you.

For the time being, my trail rig is also my daily driver... so I usually take the winters off. It's one thing to have to ride my bike to work during the summer if/when my rig goes down... it's another thing to do it in the winter. But we'll see...

I needed some type of scale reference in the picture to show how large things were or just how small things are... Maybe it was just something that was going around yesterday; you know, people walking front of the camera!!!!

Hey... what's up with your rig? Any ETA on when it'll be ready to wheel? I'd like to get out with a small group (maybe you, me, Greg, and Ross) and try some harder blues. I'm getting bored with Doe Run, Turtle, and Rock Swamp. I thinking maybe the last weekend of this month.

Hey waskillywabbit,

That's my '88 4Runner...I couldn't see the pic yesterday, so. Anyway, the list is long so I'll just give a quick breakdown if that's ok?

5" AOR orbit-eye springs front and rear with AOR bonz shackles
14" travel Bilstein 7100 shocks front and rear
front narrowed Dynatrac D44 with 5.86 gears and a Detroit locker (soon to be an ARB)
rear narrowed Dynatrac D60 with 5.86 gears disc brakes and a Detroit locker
Dual Marlin Crawler with 2.28's in both cases (soon to have 4.7's in the rear case)
38x12.5x15 TSL SX's on 15x10 Allied Rock-A-Thon beadlocks
3.0 V6 with DOA heads, cams, and t-body...blah blah blah.

Sorry to bore you, but the list can keep going, but I don't want to take up any more time.

Last time I was out... I think I started spinning a bearing in the rear transfer case, sooooo until Marlin ships out my 4.7s, new, clutch, and T/C rebuild kit I'm out of action. But on the brite side, the gears are supposed to be in by the second week of October and they will ship from then, hehehe oh yeah, that is now!

I've got a few at home... nothing exciting - I just keep forgetting to bring my memory stick in to work so I can post them. I was hoping to see some of greg's or Ross' by now.
