That does look good. I'm glad they actually put in some culverts. Only problem is it is going to be loose dirt. So until it gets packed down, it is going to be soft and deep. I was planning on taking a drive over there when I get down to Lock 30 on Thursday to scope it out again.

Full_Tilt_Fud · 04-24-2012, 07:24 AM

What time are you shooting for? I will try to be there and ride with you.

head · 04-24-2012, 07:47 AM

I was hoping to get there around 2:00. But I may have to wait around for UPS/Fedex. I want to get camp setup first so I wouldn't plan on heading that way until about 6 or 7.

Full_Tilt_Fud · 04-24-2012, 11:00 AM

Dug up spare parts....got two tierod ends, complete set of knuckle and hub studs, complete set of trunion bearings and caps, inner axle for both sides and one birfield, and other random crap..half of it dont fit my truck but i'm bringing it anyway lol.

Now if I only had spare hubs...i just got a feeling they are the week link that is gonna let go

ohio03trdtaco · 04-24-2012, 07:02 PM

While there lets put together all the spare parts and build a spare rig.

Full_Tilt_Fud · 04-24-2012, 07:43 PM

Sure...you bring some

and I will bring my spare parts collection....we will combine them and build.....something

Full_Tilt_Fud · 04-29-2012, 04:46 PM

We are all home safe in Michigan as well.

Thanks so much to everyone who worked so hard to put this on.

Special thanks to Pete for convincing me to come and for guiding us around saturday.

Also thanks to everyone for your patience with our groups issues on friday, and while we did ugly.

I have to say...driving pucker was the highlight of my weekend...i was 100% convinced it would never happen but it did...i am not gonna forget that for a while.

NwiTACO · 04-29-2012, 05:31 PM

Thanks to all who contributed to putting on a great event. The hospitality of the people at this event never ceases to amaze me...home safe and sound and counting down until next year!

BillaksBlazer · 04-29-2012, 06:12 PM
