Had a great time at the Badlands in Indiana last W/E.
Space Ghost was fun to wheel with as well as FJ 60 Guy (?????name)
Made it up "Pergatory" with out breaking...
Lots of clutch burn...
420 MUST get done this winter! ;-)

For anyone looking...
Space Ghost has a great 420 Plate adapter and ring that he sells that are top quality.
I'd buy one if I wasn't getting my own done...
Great price... Contact him :-)

He also made some nice changes to the Alston Racing cage that a buddy of mine had them blueprint and make.
This is the best cage out there for the $$$ if you can't bend your own.

Hey Cory,
I had a great time wheeling with you guys. I figured out what my problem was on Purgatory, not enough air in my tires!

I left there with 4 brand new MRT beadlock wheels looking for some "big" skins. The 60 belongs to Rick, who "didn't" scratch the side of his Cruiser up, while trying to keep his feet dry! Got video or pics? I promise not to <IMG SRC="smilies/crybaby2.gif" border="0"> !!!

The adapter plates are on hold while I take a road trip. Off to DC Thursday for a wedding and then back home to load up the Cruiser for Las Cruces and the Warn Rock Crawling event. Be back around the 12th (unless my wife sees this post <IMG SRC="smilies/eek.gif" border="0"> ).

See ya in the spring,
Mike "SpaceGhost" Smythe the guy who needs some bigger meats and can save you some $$$ on a SM420 swap. Snoop around HERE (http://www.iei.net/~msmythe/) for details and then e-mail me direct msmythe@iei.net

SPANK! <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0">

Hey Cory,
I AM the fj60 guy, Rick Emerick. Thanks for the Motor mount fix. I owe you <IMG SRC="smilies/beer.gif" border="0"> It was good wheeling with you guys. You have a fargin cool spring setup on your rig.

Spaceghost, dont forget I donated my tail light to that big mud hole, but at least I was shiney side up the whole time (I has some of that photographic proof) <IMG SRC="smilies/jeep1.gif" border="0">

Hey newbie what you gonna do with them pics? I'm outta here this afternoon until the 12th. Leaving Monday for NM, you wanna go?

Attica trip

Had a blast at Attica. Purgatory was great, even though it ate my clutch.

I think this was my first trip in a while that I dindn't really break something. Hopfully it is the beginning of a trend. One thing that may have contributed is that I ran more pressure in the swampers.

SpaceGhost - Looks like I will be moving to your neck of the woods very soon. I am going to take a transfer to STL next week... We will have to get together.

Later,

Hi guys,
I'm going back after Purgatory this Friday (after turkey day). I think a little more air in the tires will make a difference, if not I'll just get bigger ones!

Went to New Mexico with Troy, Todd and a bunch from Badlands for the Warn Championship. They put 3 vehicles in the Currie's (don't ask) dozen for the finals. Finished a 2nd, 6th, and 13th. Not bad for the only non-ARCA finalists from the home of "corn on the cob"! I sure learned a lot, and recommend a trip to a major event for anybody who wants to improve their wheeling skills.

Richard is that ST. Louis? That's still 3+ hours or so from Attica. Bummer you gotta move (the work involved), but glad to have you a little further South!

See you guys in the spring,

Mike "SpaceGhost' Smythe

ya, I will be moving to St. Louis ASAP. It is WAY closer to Attica, as there is no Chicago to go through.
