So who wants to go run Table Mesa stuff Saturday? I am thinking about Terminator, or whatever anybody else wants to do. So, let's go wheelin!

Damn you guys and your built rigs.... I wanna play.
I may be able to go if someone can provide a seat, or a helicopter to get my truck in.

or a helicopter

LMAO!!

I think we are gonna be short on seats, sorry. Just bring the damn 4runner, and we will beat it through!!

Hey, as long as when I come out it is bobbed Im fine by that:D .... Its cool... Ill hang with you guys another time. Nice cruiser by the way. Didnt know if I got to tell you that last week. I was thoroughly impressed with that thing. Shouldve seen my reaction when I got behind you turning onto the trail. Didnt notice the Rockwells til then... Said a lot of surprised explicits. NICE

Thanks, i had fun too. It is an ongoing project, just like everyone else's rig. I still think it's a big TURD. Keep working on yours, and let me know if you need a hand turning a wrench. We'll wheel again sooner or later!

Axleshaft is here :D

now if I can just get my power steering to behave...

awww come awn AZ86 you got a locker, i run both terminators and a handfull of other trails and i dont even have one locker, and you cant be reffering to the IFS cuz my buddy( tie wire champ) runs the terminators too with his IFS. but not for long, he's finally lettin me do the SAS this w/e:D so we'll be busy wrenchin.

if we get interest down there, we could switch over to Florence too... just me & Elf so far, & it's the same distance either way for him... & I'm open to suggestion for a medium trail. We just gotta go easy on the amature driver, single locker, leaf spring bending, tweety bird lookin vehicles (note my signature) :flipoff2:

If you need any help let me know, I would love to learn how to do a SAS (I will be doing my friends this winter). (925 586 7029) Todd is back down too if you need a lot of exta help.

Id love to wheel with you guys again, but Im pulling my 231 this weekend in favor of a twin-sticked, 4:1 Dana 300:D It will probably be down for a couple weeks. Ill be ready to wheel then:p

cool scott. You will like the twin-stick action. Now you need to get a line lock fro the rear...

hey AZ ford, take elf to martinez canyon, moderate and enough rocks to keep him busy, besides it would be nice to see how easy those rockwells straddle the big v-notch.

ryan i dont know how much help we'll need, but you can come hang out all the same. i'll give you a call.

Or I could just run rear brakes only like you:idea: :shaking: J/K man I will probably do the line lock thing someday, no rush though.

Oh yeah, and Martinez is a cool trail a bit on the long side though. I think Wes would have fun on the 'peckers.:D

Termiantor can be done with minor mods. We used to run it all the time with IFS and 33s. It has been practically paved since then. A rear locker is helpful but not neccissary. We can run lower in about ten minutes now, and use it as a "short cut" to Predator and Anhialator. Go for it. Running Anaconda with IFS when it was new, now that was a trip!

My 96 4runner went up both Terminators with 285's. It's nothing. Like Zags said 10-20 minutes to run it.

Where and when are you meeting on Saturday?

I have a 2wd/ 3.5"lifted/ 30x9.50 fitted 98 Rodeo that thinks its a 4x4.

I may want to attend.

scott;)

2wd? uhm.... nope, it don't think it's that much of a 4x4 :D

Elf... how 'bout table mesa parking area @ 6?

6 PM sounds good. Let's see what i can break this time... LOL!

As long as the hubs don't fall off, i will be okay, i will be bringin the FORD too, finally.

did ya get those motor mounts replaced?? mine came today.

mine came yesterdat, but i am gonna swap em tomorrow. Looks like it will be a straight swap.

take it easy!

Would you guys want to run Raw Deal when you're done with Terminator? 6pm is to early for me... I would rather start when it's already dark so it's not so damn hot. Maybe 9pm for Raw Deal??

Rick,
Id be up for this. Meet at 9 at the parking lot? Ive gotta go to dinner with the parents so I cant make the 6 run. Let me know Id like to go.
Mike

We will try to get back to the dirt lot at 9pm, then to hook up with you guys. I want to see the pumpkin!! We will be on CB ch4, if you don't see us, then we will have had some problems, or be too far away to make it back. CB's have a pretty good range out there, so try to raise when you arrive...

See ya'll later!

Rick/Mike... sure, I'm in... I don't see how it'll take us all that long to do terminator with only 2 good vehicles anyway, figured we'd end up playing elsewhere afterward... we'll meet back up with ya, or else we're broke somewhere :D
My tow rig'll be the brown Dodge quad cab w/the big ass white trailer, so as long as that's still there, so am I.

Fair warning Matt... Torrey and Jeff might show up later in the evening.;)

Missed you guys. We waited by your trailers until 9:30 then took off with some other folks on Raw Deal. Just got back at 2:30am :D

We had the white Ram with the camper... who left us the bottle of Bacardi on the trailer;)

She's lookin damn good Rick... sorry we missed ya, got caught in alot of traffic down there & weren't moving very fast. I would have looped back around, but my power steering completely shit on me, & she was hell just to drive back to the trailer. I'm down untill I can redo pretty much the whole steering system, tired of dealing with it being such a POS.

Damn, what are you using for a flash? Those pictures turned out pretty good. I took a couple on the same trail about an hour or so earlier, most turned out kinda dark with a lot of dust particles in the air. I hate taking pics at night.

Ditto explorer - I really wanted to see your rig. We just got held up trying some weird lines on Raw Deal, and i think we saw you guys coming towards us while we were at the top end of the last hill. I was debating waiting to see who it was and i wish i would have waited, ohhh well. I really wanted to check out your rig, but it will have to wait until next time.

Were you guys with a guy named Tony who lost his cell phone? We found it on the trail and returned it to a guy in a white CJ.

As were were getting to upper we passed three trucks that turned around. A toy PU, CJ and something else.

Chris, I was shooting with a killer new digi cam. It's a Fuji S2 which takes all my Nikon lenses and flash gear. I was shooting at 800asa which helps increase the range of the flash.
