Superlift July 4th weekend?

[nimrod712]

Well guys I've been off the forums for a couple months with health issues and work, so I've got a lot of catching up to do. Haven't gotten to do any wheeling either.:( But the good news is I finally got my truck how I want it (for now anyway). So anybody gonna be at Superlift this weekend? I might go Friday, Saturday, or Sunday, or all three. I'll probably be running just 3's.

I hope to be there if I can solve my timing chain woes.

I'll be on 4s, though :(

yep.. plan on being there Friday and Sat at least, with some buds.. probably be on 5's Friday, 4's Saturday if I make it through fri.. .. I am still tore down waiting parts.:mad: but somehow will get it back goin by friday, its just brakes, no big deal right?? :D

Cool. I'll be in a '08 black DC with black wheels, so if ya see me, hollar real loud or chunk a rock or something lol.

Looks like I'm probably gonna be the only truck in my party, so anybody got any reccomendations for 3's that wouldn't be too bad? The only 3 I've done is Buckhorn SE (G14), but I had no problem with it. I'm thinking I'll do Rubicon Ridge for sure, but not too sure about any others

I hate to be that guy, but I'd highly advise not doing trails by yourself. You just never know...

[nimrod712]

Yeah, I will have a passenger or two and I've got plenty of recovery equipment, but I see your point....

What happened with plan B? Run into problems with those shafts?

[Jordan7118]

I think I'm gonna have to pass on this weekend. As much as it saddens me, I don't think I'm going to have time to redo the timing chain and tie up loose ends before Saturday.

yea... forgot I had a ifs in it.. I was so wound up chasing parts and stuff. funny.. I put the axles and brakes in and noticed they went in really easy.. crap the splines were not in the carrier at all :rofl: what a DA !! I felt about as dumb as ya can.. so instead of pressing all the brake stuff off and onto my spare shafts, my parts will be in Monday, so I am just gonna air off tryin to piece it together, and do it right then wheel the next weekend or 2 probably still hit the park this Friday in the heep....

While it would be extra work and you'd lose your e-brake, you could always swap the whole housing over... You'd be back to the skinny rear end temporarily though. I wish I had known you were running an IFS rear...

thought about it, but my chebby springs are inboarded and that exceeds my bs level for 1 weekend worth of running...... huh?? e brake? that was gone long ago... yea.. me to on the ifs .. but thanks Aaron..

nimrod.. saw ya down there sat. nice truck!! we were on the porch of the cabin. bs'n mid day. I would have hollered but I parked the rubi and bummed rides with some buds on 5's and didnt figure ya wanted that.. see ya Dave

[nimrod712]

Thanks. Yeah, I saw your jeep, just didn't see anybody around. Don't believe I could handle a 5, not upright anyway lol. We didn't stay very long anyway. The guy that was with me wasn't feeling too great - rough night the night before lol.
