Any Members in Arkansas?

I really love mine. I've used my truck in the mountains of Wyoming, Idaho, Montana, and BC, mostly fall/late fall. It's handled everything I've thrown at it, plus it's very road friendly and has no clutches to wear out.

 

This may be the remains of that old CCC road. I will need to drive out there to get coordinates on the map. I don't remember anything like Twin Creek.

 

Send me an invite and I'll be there. Moving back to Conway next week so I'll be pretty close.

 

Good little meet in Little Rock yesterday.

 

Glad y'all came down to see us. The head kind of slowed me down.

 

Do you guys have experience with Kiamichi Trail from Clayton OK to Mena AR?

 

In the watershed like that, I'm sure CAW has it closed off and no camping anywhere

 

I can see that.. The watershed. I didn't know anybody that camped there in those days (1968). I remember our neighbor (old timer) telling us about one side of the road was a game refuge. Some neighbors would hunt back in there. Nobody camped. Now I realize the CCC road must have been built a long time before construction on Lake Maumelle started in 1956.

 

Here's a map from 1950. Lake Maumelle came later in 1956. I can see HWY10 basically stops at Perryville St in the heights. The west end of Perryville street was City limits at that time

 

I had a Jeep friend that ran the 'K-Trail' and he said the OK side was a bust due to private property and really bad two track in sections. He said the AR side and near the fire tower was pretty good.

 

I've got a Ruger LCR, .38 +P, w/ the factory Crimson Trace grips for sale. Guns at least 95% condition. Bought cause I thought I needed it, but it sits in the safe. Have a DeSantis IWB holster and some ammo to go with it. Thanks!

 

That's what I hear. The people I'm going with have a map around the private property. We want to camp near the trailhead on a Friday night. I got invited to tag along. I'll record a map in GAIA.

 

Happy Birthday Craig @CS_AR

 

Thank you Pete!

 

This was a fun, longer than I thought it would take project…WoooooPigSoooie

 

Those look great

 

Well, I got a set of Dobinson's GS59-220 front shocks swapped in this weekend. I can definitely tell the difference in ride quality; so, @TenBeers was probably right about the shocks being bad. Hopefully, my tires won't get anymore cupped than what they are now.



If anyone has any tips on painting the chrome grille with some real paint that will stick, I'm all ears! The old plasti-dip job is showing some age

 

I'm a sucker for rattle can over proper primer. Easy to touch up, and they make it for just about all material surfaces anymore. A good enamel will take a beating. Glad you resolved your front end issue!

 

^ Yeah, this, but proper prep is required to get anything to stick, especially to that chrome. You'll need to scuff it up with a 3M scuff pad (red, green, grey, any should work), and be sure to get the edges. Wipe down with acetone, then a good automotive enamel should stick and last longer than plasti-dip.
