Anyone planning on attending the Carolina Meet in April 08...

yeah.......i hear that. im driving my wifes accord to work all week, and filling up the truck this weekend on the way to the meet.

 

sounds like a great time. have fun and get pics

 

Awesome...

Just got my 33" spare mounted. Will be working on De-badging once the rain chills.

My Truck is almost 100%, except for the lift of course.

 

sounds good hodgie!!! for everyone that doesnt have it.....my cell number is 803-448-2027. i think me and nate are gonna stop by eldorado on the way in......go ahead and pick up some maps and stuff. weather should be good this weekend. hopefully, since brandon has been there before.....he may be able to show us around a bit.

jhodge............call my cell when you get into uwharrie, then we can go back to eldorado after setting up camp. finish picking up whatever else we need.....plus passes. probably need to get firewood too.


and my last question for everyone going.........what are ya'll bringing to eat??? i know im bringing deer sausage and stuff for breakfast, plus snacking stuff, and stuff for snadwiches....plus beer!!

 

did you change your diff fluid yet??? if not......dont forget that to add to the mix.

 

glad im only gonna be driving my truck this weekend and not this entire week......gas is as follows here: $3.48 regular, $3.58 mid and $3.68 premium.........holy crap, im gonna hate to see what its gonna be this summer!!!

 

every 30k......but i switched mine at 20k with some mobil1 synthetic 75w90.........i think you'll need some gear oil with the lsd modifiers already in it.....or buy the gear oil and add a tube of it!

 

man.....i cant wait to see all our trucks.....gonna be kickass!!


oh yeah.....rear diff is easy as pie, but if your spare is under there, buy one of those small hand pumps....like for changing oil in a boats lower unit.....makes a world of difference!! changing the spark plugs is easy too......driver side front plug was a pita though.....barely room to disconnect and reconnect plug in for coil pack.

 

I need to jump in this conversation but i took some allergy meds so i'm tired. just wanted to say that i'll PM my number to anyone that needs it but dont want to post it on the board. I'll chime in with what i'm bringing and some random questions tomorrow when i'm at work. goodnight TW!

 

first thing is to loosen the fill plug(they are tight as hell), then take out the drain plug on bottom(make sure to drive a bit to warm the gear oil up), let it all drain......i put a jack on the driver side rear to help with draining, the put plug back, fill till it starts running out, screw fill plug back on hand tight, go for a spin round the block, then fill till it runs out again.......should be able to get a bit more in there. then tighten it all down, and you're good to go. i let mine drain for about 15-20 minutes just to make sure it got all the old oil out. be sure to clean of the drain plug magnet too.....mine had alotta crud on it that smelled like musty,sweaty feet. easy enough process though.

 

Carolina is too far away from here damn it!

 

Ok, i'm gonna bring two coolers (ice chests for you idiot Texans out there). a booze cooler and a food cooler. For food i think i'm just gonna buy a buttload of those pre-made sandwhiches from bi-lo, some chips, random snacks, water, gator aid, tp, camping gear tooth brush, etc.... prolly nothing i'll have to cook cause i'm lazy. maybe hot dogs. hey hodge, is this a rustic campsite or are there toilets and showers and all that? Like i said, anyone that needs or wants my number can PM me and i'll get you my work cell and my personal cell. i have nextel and verizon, and will has ATT i think. we'll be together so between teh two of us we should have a signal at all times. I dont think either one of us is familiar with the park but we are two poorly educated rednecks, between the two of use there is almost a 50% chance of getting you where you need to go.

 

thats gonna be rough out in the sun for 2 whole days with no showers..... we're all gonna smell like wet ass....

 

i think i read that jhodge is bringing a grill is that the ony one
