i look forward to meeting any/all who i can. please forgive me if i "seem" distant at first cause until my wife gets comfortable with the setting and environment, we have to stick close and make sure she's ok and once she's ok, i hope to start roaming around and hope others come to introduce themselves. i have to be at her side the whole time but would love to meet anyone who can come around us to hang out/talk/and even take me on a route..i would love to have someone to follow at some point around some stuff they think i could do or try.

i will be riding with a friend who will be driving a ford ranger stock and when we get there i will look for you and you can follow us if you want.
 
You welcome to fallow me around and the group I'm with. I got a xj on 35s locked front and rear with built axles, a bronco 2 locked front and rear on 33s and most likely a 87 4runner locked front and rear on 36s

so you found a ride i take it..cool. see you guys there.
 
yes he is coming all the way from Tennessee and we might be there around 7 or 8 in the morning i will be looking for yall have a safe trip
 
sweet. thanks you too.
 
i got that straight already,lol thanks. the only way i'm going up easy street that everyone keeps talking about is if 1. if trail isn't too wet (which doesn't look promising) 2. depends on how i see others rigs tackle it and what it takes for them to get through. number 2 usually gives me a real good idea of what i can/can't do according to what it takes for others to tackle something: wheel spin or not/bouncing/crawling/finesse/skinny pedal...not a pro but i've gotten descent at judging these traits of others to determine if i an do it once i've ridden the terrain around. OPTION 3 LMAO: at the very end of trip if my jeep is still in one piece and running strong...i will PROBABLY/MAYBE hit something hard???don't know what but something where i won't be in anyone's way just to see how much abuse a D35 can really handle LOL i have a 8.25 that i'm getting next week so wouldn't hurt my feelings to break the D35 and it's the NON C-clip so at least i can still roll it to the trailer lol
 
problem is i hope if i do hit something hard...i hope the D35 would be the "weak link" to go...not my T-case or front diff lol...that would suck. T-Case i have spare but D30 Disconnect i don't and harder to come by but i love them for the "free locker" option!!

Easy street is never dry
It has a spring somewhere near the top feeding it or so I think because water is flowing year round.

But that's what makes it so fun! Doubt I'll hit it this weekend, my 3.5 yr old sidekick is riding shotgun...but you never know!

I've got short arms, the bronco2 has a xj longarm kit on it and the 4runner is all springs so that's about covers all the major set ups without getting to in depth with fab work

Its going to be a push to finish it up the flat belly made the drive shaft hit the tank so he ordered a fuel cell should be here tomorrow... Maybe Friday probably still gonna have a huge hole in the floor from moving everything up. And still have to lengthen the front drive shaft. Then put the seats back in and throw the doors on. There is more to do but that's all I can think of now lol. But fingers crossed it will be there
