Cool dude.....can't wait to see it my man!
thnx for the kind words bro! if anything im just trying to get my ride up to par with you guys. and do the trailvoy site proud. :thumbsup:
Anything new?? Just wondering....
ooo ya, canadian tire had 12v electric portable impact guns.........soooooooo I bought one hahahaha.
Now i am one piece closer to having a complete 4x4 off road kit hahahaha. pluss, who the hell wants to take their wheels off manually anymore hahahaha.
let see, what else.......I got 2 new tires going on, bds lift, tahoe springs, mrkmc 2.5 lift, bilstein front shocks, and adj rear rancho shocks, shift kit and about 7 other new trany parts, amsoil fluid, and flush the transfer case.
if anyone else is interested in a set of rear adj shocks (rancho 9000xl), i think i can get additional sets for around $120 + tax CAD....i will confirm if anyone is really interested.
hey JD where it u get those stackable organizer boxes you use for your offroad gear in the back of your truck????
Man i cant wait for this!!!!

Make sure you test it on your lugs before you actually HAVE to use it on your lugs. 12V may not be enough juice for lugs. Also make sure it has enough reserve energy to take off and put back on all 6.
You talking about these?
The systra modul cases are made for a dutch tool company. We were lucky enough to have a few floating around the office, so I grabbed a few.

the gun plugs into the cig lighter so as long as the vehicle is running it will run, or i can turn the truck off and use it for a bit but i wouldnt want to burn out my batt.
the gun is listed at 250lbs of torque. that should be more then snough to get our lugs off.
ill take your advice and give it a try before i take it out in the trail. i still have the receipt so if it sucks, back to the store it goes, and my search will continue.
i looked at the pelican site, and i love their portable tool box with drawers, but it is pretty pricey. ill keep looking but may end up getting that.

Ohh, I thought it was a cordless model... you know battery pack powered. :duh:
They make some really nice stuff, but I agree that the cost kinda outweighs the benefit. If I had ordered a pelican case for all the cases I carry, I would have spent at least $600 on the cases alone.
Just FYI, the 3 cases you see stacked below are modified DeWalt tool cases. I just worked with what I could get my hands on.
add me to the list. zone body lift and 33" km2s are on the way. i gotta get up with markmc for my suspension lift and fred for my wheel spacers and then ill be ready for some fun.

Once you guys know for sure that you will be attending... let us know.

My confirmation depends solely on tires for me. Being unemployed makes it very hard to get spacers and new rubbers before September. Recovery and camping equip will be ok, but meats are the big issue. Any hookups you guys have, let me know.
No problem guys. No rush.
When you get everything installed to make yourself trail ready and are sure you can attend, let us know. :thumbsup:
PS, check craig's list for tires. Lots of people are taking off tires with decent tread still left... you may be able to find something.

Haha, I figured your wife killed you because of the scratches. Haven't seen you around in a while.

Hey, CHRIS!! Nice to see you posting again!!!
i was thinking the same thing. if we have alot of people wanting to come maybe we could split up during the trail rides and meet up for camp. just a thought...
I think his eight might be realistic. You have no idea how many people drop off as time gets closer.
James, maybe if you up the limit to 12, we'll end up with 8 overall:undecided

We had six total at TECORE I in April, and it was a pretty easy to deal with. Much more than 8 will make it rough. We need to emphasize the WORKING CB. The problem with splitting up on the trails is that James is really the only person that knows them at all. I remember bits and pieces of some of them, but from what I understand, we'll be hitting some different trails.
Last TECORE we had approximately 40 people "interested" in the trip. And that started 4 or 5 MONTHS before the event. So, honestly, we'll probably only have 6-8 after last minute drop outs, etc.
