Yeah, Ryan recommended rattlesnake and constrictor which are out by five mile. The You tube videos I pulled up make me wonder if my rigs up to those trails (some pretty crazy videos), if not I'm sure theres other stuff to hit. I have to wheel with my DD so Im probably a little more causious than some.

Default Something funny I wanted to share

MY LIVING WILL Last night, my kids and I were sitting in the living room and I said to them, "I never want to live in a vegetative state, dependent on some machine and fluids from a bottle. If that ever happens, just pull the plug." They unplugged my computer & dumped out my beer, they are so cut out of my other will!

I've done rattle snake & its wasn't too bad! My dad made it up in his TJ about 1 month before our lil moab run & donkey did it with his new tires still on the 2" BB lift! There was only 1 step that kinda gave them greif & it wasn't bad after stacking some rocks...

Oh & jeff those r 2 things kids should NEVER mess with... Ur last wishes & ur living will!!!

I'm hoping to have my sliders and crossmember installed, just waiting for them to get here. Feeling like a kid waiting for Christmas.

I can't wait to see those sliders & cross member jeff! The "meet & rides" section is bellow the great lakes section on the drop down at the bottom. I'm all set for the 28th just talked to the boss man & told him I need that day off!!!

I've been plotting this slider idea for a while now, drawn it up, & measured it all out! So I called wasatch steel to get a ball park on what we will be payin to make our sliders so here's the #'s;
* 2"x 2" .125 wall- need 12'- sold in 20' lengths $39.60
* 1.5"x 1.5" .125 wall- need 5'- sold in 10' lengths $17.25
* 4"x 4" .125 wall- need 4'- price for 4' + cut $31.07
*1"x 1" 3/32 thickness- need 8'- sold in 10' lengths $8.55
For a grand total of $97.47
Then ofcourse we will all need to pitch in on welding rod & cuting wheel discs... So let's see how much cheaper joe can get us the steel & set a date to fab it all up!

Sweet! This is shaping up to be a good ride!

$100 is not bad at all! Did you ask them if there was a price break for 2 or 3 times that much metal?
