Mount mods done. Box not here so I put on Sue's spare 3.25 extreme bla bla bla bla. Not as much power but it will do. Got to get a ground fault checked and remove a resistor in the wire harness and try a diff. 137 amp alt. Dam dodge TSB's. Will know more tomorrow.

That's the dirt bag response. 😉

I'm bettin there will be another Barrett run before this season is over so I will wait. I'll just have to occupy myself with Clayton,Currie and :weld:.... 😀

If you are replacing the upper front axle cleavite's with the currie stuff let me know how you like it. Need to change both of ours again soon.

Made myself a promise to always be as prepared as possible and NOT the weakest link. Folks might be OK with it one time so you get a taste, but get tired of being slowed down real quick, in my experience.

My dad did a lot in the outdoors being born/raised in Minnesota (read that as REAL cold and LOTSA snow) and I was ASM in a Boy Scout Troop for years so "be prepared" has been almost a mantra.



That said, I am REALLY looking forward to it!!



:arrow: End of Hijack.

Being as prepared as possible doesn't mean you won't be the weakest link. Someone has to be the weakest link otherwise everyone just dumps money into their rigs so they can look at them in the garage. 😀

My weakest links are bad driving and stock tj 44 axle housings.

My weakest link is the one between my eyes and my brain...you know the one that is supposed to say, "that's a stupid idea, don't try that."

Plus you never know if you are the weakest link until you get out there. I broke a rear trackbar bracket on a logging road. I didn't think there would be a need for the weakest link theory there, but lo and behold - I was the weakest link...

Yea' but all you do is pop a hub or add some patina. 😲

I think mine got run over. Do they still count?

Did you get points for it? Usualy slower equals more points...

Gold Hills Posse members do not drive over the gate posts. The gate is there for a reason.

Good point.



If I recall there was a lock box on one of the posts that your tire must fit under. I think a 38 fit, but am not sure if a 40 fits under it. I know my 37" toyos fit under it with some room to spare.

It was not intended to be a recommendation, but I guess somebody might try it.

Ful width axles and 37" tires should have no difficulty. 40" tires need to deflate and squeeze under the latch on the gate. My only concern with the full-sized Dodge would be the wide body. It might not fit through the gate.

No I did not. Unlike my phone someone else squished them.

You ran over your phone? I just backed over a brand new camcorder. How many points is that?

Problem seems fixed but have not completed all the TSB's yet. I have tomorrow off so so they will get done including the drive monitor test. George, what is the latest you will take a reservation for Sat.? If you want to, or have changed plans, no problem. Kind of iffy when someone's junk is junk. Torque converter was sometimes un- locking when it was not supposed to.

Hope your camcorder was a mil. spec one. My phone was. Sue laughed like crazy until I showed her it still worked.

Camcorder was not so lucky..

Is there a time and place to meet set up yet?

:badidea: I dont have to worry about it since I am not a member for some reason. :censor: :nutkick:

Due to the gate issue I never asked to get off work, and now I am stuck. Have fun and take some pics.

George will be up there Sat morning. I will not be on the run.
