Nov 14th @ McLean
« on: November 13, 2009, 12:02:28 PM »
Anyone heading out to McLean tommorow (14th)?

Looking to do a basic run and see what works and what doesn't on the new rig. You know what they say... never wheel alone.

Let me know?

Hey man, Im meeting a couple buddies at the gravel pit Saturday @12:30pm, if you dont know how to get to the pit be at the Mclean store for say 12:15 and I will meet you there around then. Would be good to see ya out another time before the place actually closes 

It's a later start but, thats the way it always ends up..

Jonas... good to hear from ya... the later start is perfect for me as I have a few things to do to the "new rig" before I head out.

I have no idea where the gravel pit is. I have "offroad only" plates and there is no way the new rig is street legal... so can we meet at that loading/offloading area just down the road from the store (i.e. on pavement past the store &  just past the campground entrance)?

I'll be unloaded and probably be goofing around down there trying to figure out how the Atlas transfer case and a few other things work. If ya see a brownish Mega Cab Dodge w/ a 28' gooseneck attached... that's me and wont be far away with the rig. See ya round noonish.

I'm gonna be away from a computer starting around 8:00AM... so here is my cell (968-1973) in case something changes on your end.

Thanx.


Kevin

That looks like one GREAT trail rig.  :)
I followed a rainbow out to a garage and found a leprichaun. The rainbow ended in a potted cactus on his porch, but there was no gold :(

Yup... Dana 60 w/ CrMo inner & outer shafts in the front and a full float 14bolt in the back... both w/ detroit lockers. I dig the dual internal beadlocked H1 rims too and the TSL-SX's did real well on all sorts of different surfaces & terrain.

Cant wait to put it up against similar built rigs and see how it does.

Thanx for the props guys!
