last year’s 2018-4th Annual SAN G. TRAIL RUNS & TW Family Reunion 9/21-23

Shit I'm new too! lol

 

Trusted a spotter too much and crushed a tail light, other than that, nope.

 

I can't go. I'm only sitting on 295/70/17 remember. lol

I'll try and make it but I've got a lot of stuff to fix. I talked to Chase at ECGS today and I'll pull the locker this Sunday hopefully. While that's out I'm doing bearings and seals on both rear axles. Then drop the Kings an inch and get some limit straps. Then replace that passenger side CV. Then drain all the fluids in the crawlbox. My trans temps got up to 210 on the way home from the Dusy. It's never that hot. I usually run 170-180 on the highway. It's all little shit but it's gonna take some time.

 

Yeah your probably right.

I haven't ruun everything at Big Bear but I'm sure Dusy Ershim is more difficult than anything Big B has to offer.

We'll cruz right thru it.

 

Yep. I've got a Hayden cooler. I checked the lines and nothing got pinched to slow the flow. It's probably that shit TG seal leaking between the crawlbox and the trans tail housing. Either that or a bad sending unit. I really hope it's a bad SU but I doubt it. lol

Remember how I was telling you the wife wanted a rig that she could use since I took over the 4runner? We finally figured out what it's gonna be. Lexus GX470!! So I gotta find one of those in the next month as well. We talked about just going LX but the GX is smaller and lighter. I can't wait to mod this thing. lol

 

Dude that Lexus is going to be sweet! Sucks when all those little things add up. I got a ton of work to do for this big bear trip. Doubt I replace my clutch by then but hope I can do everything else...

 

You guys both live in a higher population area then I do so keep your eyes open and ask around if you don't mind. Bishop is rad but finding a car/truck here is almost impossible.

Mike, get your clutch fixed even if you pay a shop to do it. Those things are what keeps sticks moving. lol

 

Pretty much. It's got 90000 hard miles on it.

Sadly Ill probably have a shop do it...

 

Ive never done one but im sure I could figure it out. Sometimes it's just easier to pay somebody..

 

I just dealt with the bitter pill of having the rear wheel bearings done so I feel your pain.

 

Haha, took me and my little bro a weekend. We had never done it before though and had to get the wheel refinished and a tranny jack halfway through. Its doable with enough friends/knowledge.

 

Only if you have the proper bearing puller lol that was a multi hr struggle

 

A trans jack makes the job pretty easy. It's still a huge PIA in labor to get to a 20 dollar seal though. lol

 

how many rigs are considering in running Motino?

 

Sounds like it's a cluster fuck at this point. Me and AssBurns at the minimum.

 

damnit

 

Sounds like Mike is warming up to the idea, so.... me, Mike, and assburns

I also let a couple folks know about it outside of TW, they may or may not show up

 

Hey everyone I’m glad to say that I have aquired a camp spot by another TW member and will be joining the fun camping and wheeling adventures!

The camp spot fits 2 trucks so if anyone is looking for a camp site and would like to join the fun adventures PM me and we can work out the details!

 

Cool what site are you in?
