Don't be. I have seen your offroad rig and it is a heckuva lot better than my junk. I know now why you like hauling on flat bed trailers. Between you, Cheston, Matt, and Stan y'all have something to show off in the way of your trail rigs. I use a race trailer because that and the tow rig are the best part of my junk. When you have something as ugly as my beater you will tend to keep it under wraps and only show off things that are worth showing off.
Catch ya' later,

If you have bad noises coming from your valve train and you slipped a couple teeth on the chain, theres a real good chance your noises are a bent valve or two and not lifters. It is possible that the lifters got damaged too. You said you did a compression test and ALL cylindars came back even? Maybe you lucked out with the valves.... but you might just try adjusting them first before replacing. If you replace the lifters and not the Cam, you might cause both to fail before long. Just my .02 cents

For anyone interested... Pack Creek Campground is a great place to stay! Off the beaten path and quiet! So what if there is not a pool... they don't care if you work on your junk at night, as long as you don't speed through the grounds, they are cool!! Clean bathrooms, playground for the kids and ample room for bigger rigs!! Not to mention great company!!!

yeah, you're more than welcome. I'm kinda thinking Pack Creek at a tent site. I can bring my bigger 3 room tent without any trouble.

Don't worry, I think I may hotel it... if I can find someone to split a room. I've been camping recently and have plans to camp the weekend after Moab Mash, I think I want to avoid a tent for this weekend. If I can't find someone, I may setup my tent by yours.

I'm probably up for a motel.
What's the rate? (this is the first of a BUNCH of trips over the next 2 months, though, I need to watch my cash a little, but if it's just a little more, the convenience of a motel would be justified)

How did this happen? Sidewall? Bead? How are the stein bead locks working?
I have been thinking about going with internal bead locks.

:greg: I'm not sure honestly, I haven't checked yet. I'll see what I can find out.
Honestly, I'm not sure what happened... I don't want to say what the problem is until I have a chance to check it out. I noticed the tire was very low right before I left home for a few days.
The Stauns are a PITA to mount, but work very well. I've been running 4-5 PSI to break in the tires and the traction is amazing. Best part, no loosing a bead!

Well, after loosing a inside bead trying to climb eagles nest I now carry a nitrogen tank and am looking at other options on bead locks. Seems like the Stauns mught be a good option!

Better hurry. I had a hard time finding a room and I booked about a month ago.

I've never been to Moab so all for this is new to me. I've been planning to go sometime in October. The hotels are so busy that you need reservations way in advance? I only plan to stay over for 1 night, maybe a friday-sunday trip so a tent would not be so bad.
I've also heard about registering for trails. How do you do that?

I would get advanced reservations cuz most weekends are pretty busy. The hotels right on Main book up first. You could probably find a room just outside of town but I wouldn't chance just showing up.
You dont need to register for trails unless your going to run with an organized event

Oh, I just thought of something....
vent hoses for the diffs/t-case. Probably won't need them, but they need to be done.
