Don't worry about bbq for me dude. I can just grab some Dairy Slut if I'm feelin' froggy. I will be tentatively scheduled for arriving Sat evening, but I can't really say when. I should have a better idea as we get closer to d-day. We're gonna try to get the torchmate going this week, so that should really speed up the fab process for me. I would be interested in registering for a nice bridge whore...preferably one that has seen her fair share of meth. Nobody likes a toothy blowjab!
Anybody coming to GSSE have a 37/xx/17 tire they want to get rid of? I need a spare.
Wow just got word my shocks will not be to my house until the 25th or 26th... cutting it REAL close.
Side note, any harm in driving slow around the neighborhood on just the springs? I want to break-in the tires before Harlan.
Yes! Dont do it. I made that mistake when a pair of rear shocks didn't fit right before a wheeling trip. But I was in a parking lot and went over a speed bump slowly, the back end felt like it was going to shoot a spring out it was so out of control. If they were leaf springs it would be fine but with coils, you could easily lose control bouncing all over. Like you said you could go very very slow, but I just don't want to see you have an accident or have to stop quick or something. I suppose limit straps would help prevent that if you really want to give it a try.

Clay just cinch every corner down a few inches with a 10k lb ratchet strap and rock out
I have limit straps, and those along with the coil retainers at all four points will keep the springs in, but I am uncertain about the bouncing all over and loosing control. I may just try it to say "hey don't be a dumb ass like me"
Sorry weve been slacking on registration. Me my girlfriend and roommate are gonna be registering Monday I believe seeing as how my debit card is dead and the banks are closed. I think also we found someone to pull a double trailer so me and Casey (greyjeep93) hopefully both have a spot being towed up there so count 2 more rigs on 35s in.
Yeah that's why I said cinch it down and compress the coils to limit the bounce. The preload from the tension on the straps would eliminate most of the sway. But it's probably a lot of work and a crazy experiment just to knock some expensive tread off a nice new set of tires.
Ronnie- glad to hear yall will be joining us again this year.
Yeah, I may just knock the tits off the tires in Harlan haha. Glad to hear some other rigs on 35s will be there, can't wait!!
Word...can't wait to see it.
It's moving along...the rear axle is about 90% done. I need to redo my limit strap mounts and burn in my link tabs...also need to run brake lines and setup the gears. I've still got a laundry list of other little bullshit that needs to be done on the rig. It's gonna be a busy week.
just registered. will be driving 9hrs down either thurs night or fri morning - to arrive likely fri lunch or dinner time as long as everything gets together and doesnt fall apart on the way. Campin fri and sat night at the evarts campground. Lookin forward to it, Cyall there!
