    Snakes on Monday, July 4th at 1:00pm

    I'm fine with meeting at 9 or 10; just let me know what the consensus is. Well I'm a peglegged lowrider so I can't make it all the way through, but I know I can at least get to the left turn. I can be at the back of the pack and watch as you go on up the waterfall by yourself... then I'll...

    How early are you guys thinking?

    Snakes on Monday, July 4th at 1:00pm

    My co-worker Mike (Awz here on RME) says he wants to go run Rattlesnake with me on the 4th... and this time he "really means it" (unlike the last two times when he stood me up :p). He even asked me to start this thread so that others would know about it, so maybe he'll actually make it out this...

    Haven't you said that before? ;)

    Don't quit on me now! You've got a roof over your head and doors with windows, so you have nothing to complain about--you'll be plenty dry enough. I'll be doing this same thing with my bikini top & upper door halves....

    Do you have a bikini?

    Oh, come on. You can easily fix that in just a few minutes with a hole saw. :p Don't they make the equivalent of a duster rear deck cover for a 4Runner? Rain or shine, I'll be there.

    It would be better for you to make a thread in the newbie introduction forum, however I am also in Lehi and thus might be very close to you. Send me a PM and we can chat.

    Here's another option for you This is a tad bit over your proposed budget, but I feel it's an excellent return on your investment. We just took in a 1999 Wrangler TJ Sport. It's got a great driveline: the 4.0L straight six, a 5-speed manual transmission, the Dana44 rear axle with 3.73 axle...

    Sounds great. I'm looking forward to checking out your TJ.

    YJ LSx swap

    If you are performing a substantial upgrade smog-wise, you may be able to get a waiver to remove some of the OEM smog equipment. For example, one of my mechanics has an early '80s Subaru BRAT. This car was originally carbureted. For driveability purposes, he decided to upgrade it to...

    YJ LSx swap

    Call your local Air Quality department and talk to them. Be friendly; get to know them well since they are who will need to approve and sign off on your completed project. See the 1991 Miata in my sig below? I'm in the process of converting it to a 5.0L V8 out of an '89 Mustang GT. I have...

    Greg told me he'd call you. He also said he would get off work a bit early so he could meet us at Chevron at the appointed time; does your remark mean you don't have that luxury? (I'm cheating; I'm off that day.)

    That is great news--I'd love for her to see someone conquer Wayne's World. Our three rigs are my black TJ, a yellow first gen 4Runner and a purple Nissan pickup. If we aren't there waiting for you at 6:00, we should be there very soon thereafter.

    My niece is in town from Texas for a few days. She has never been four wheeling. After hearing about our Friday night trip, she asked if I could take her on a run. Since it's her first time, I thought something scenic would be appropriate... and since AF canyon is still closed, it looks like...

    5 mile Night run this week?

    It was a small group of only three rigs: myself, YOUKNOW and ozzy702. Still, I thought it was a great trip. I'm sorry we couldn't accompany Eric onto Constrictor (though I would have been willing to at least begin it just to see how much it has changed over the years). Maybe next time. I...

    Still??? I thought they headed out at 9am this morning. Good deal.

    5 mile Night run this week?

    One of my co-workers (the one not on RME) is threatening to drop out on me. Hopefully someone from this forum makes it out there tonight.

    5 mile Night run this week?

    That is my plan, yes. I hope to get off work at 6pm. I actually live close to the Chevron, so I won't need any serious commute time; I have decided on the 7pm meeting time just in case I actually get out of work a little later than planned (because that is life in sales). My two...

    5 mile Night run this week?

    Nice! If I make it out there, I'll be happy to follow you over to WW and watch you climb it. (I'll have to take the bypass, of course.) What size tires are you running?
