I would like to make this run,I'll try to get all my junk in one pile by then and if the weather will hold up,open jeep and no heater(yet) makes for a frosty day,I did take it on a snow run though and survived in pretty good shape.

Is there mud on this run? I don't mind it on my rig just not on me

Just drop a few of those little blue pills in the gas tank and you can enjoy the thrill of being young again :twisted:

I don't think Brenda realized that there was a run scheduled when she planned Brandon's 5th Birthday party!
Oh well, I guess she'll be entertaining a bunch of kids without me cuz I'm going wheelin! :twisted:

Just kidding. :cry:

<sigh>
I tried to tell her we could have cake at the BBQ after the run. And that the clubs could even sing to him too.

She didn't go for it.

You guys have fun, I'll be at Wahooz.

by **Goat** » Thu Mar 04, 2010 3:50 pm

go carts are more fun anyways right?

by **redgper** » Thu Mar 04, 2010 8:50 pm

Well just pulled out the track locked rear end to rebuild and put in the open rear. (whole axles). Going to repair the hubs (make stronger). And test. I might have to go wild. I will be there. YA :lol:

by **Louis** » Fri Mar 05, 2010 1:22 am

Maybe if someone would help me i would be able to get my cage done before this run.. Ron...

Call me at an "Appropriate" time.. :wink:

Got the stand made (Credit to my dad and don) And am just waiting on my die.. :roll:

Run update.

Harvey, Chuck, Gabe, and myself did a pre-run with some WWOR members yesterday. It was a great time. We ran Gaunlet up, then Diff Hanger down.
Chuck rolled his buggy, well, he was spotting and his passenger was driving. Jeff McKlusky, WWOR, (sorry if the spelling is wrong Jeff) rolled his TJ, on seemingly flat ground! Rock jumped up out no where and flipped him!
We may need to update trail ratings?

Gauntlet is HARD. Lockers front and rear, 5-8 psi tires, winch, EXPECT body damage.

Diff Hanger has some VERY tight spots. One locker min, or very good limited slips and skilled driver. Post says 31" tires, 33's maybe better. Winch may come in very handy. And no whining if you dent a body panel or two, especially if you do not have rocker guards.

Not trying to scare anyone off, and Harvey can trump my post, just be very prepared if attempting these two trails.

Gauntlet and Diff Hanger as well as Hooker are about 10 miles out of Bruneau.

I'm always happy to help a fellow wheeler Louis you know that. Just call me and let me know ahead of time when you are going to do some stuff and we will get on it.. you never got with me to design that thing... call me and ill give you some measurements to take and we can get a base laid out.

and 12:00 p.m is an appropriate time.......

by **redgper** » Sun Mar 07, 2010 12:04 pm

OK then. I believe since I took out the track locked rear-end I will stick with the hooker canyon. I would attempt diff hanger with the open dif but I believe I would like to drive out. Slowly getting items to maneuver these trails. Then it will be (accent like Apu on Simpsons) FOLLOW MEEEE :lol:
