Looks like I might be able to make this one. Anybody want the extra spot on the trialer. Should have a spot or two for the ride down also. I was going to try to convoy down w/ whomever on Friday afternoon.

I'll take a spot, ed, unless somebody ends up needing it badly, anyway.

[DRAGOONRANCH]

That sounds fine. Hopefully we will have a good turn out at this one. I always have a blast at alto.

[BroncoJo]

I don't know how badly this is but I would like that spot on the trailer being that I have yet been able to make a single trip with the club and I don't have my own trailer. Either way it won't hurt my feelins.

[Sharpe]

I'm in, I'l probably be leaving fairly late friday afternoon. I'll have 3 seats on the way there and 1 seat on the trail.

[Fredo]

In the other thread I said I had plans, but I was looking at the wrong weekend. I have a bachelor party that has come up for next weekend, but the details on that are still TBA, so I don't know if I'll be able to make it to that or not. If it is a further drive to go to that than Alto, I'll more than likely come to wheel in Alto. That is if I can get the frame of Lurch rigged back together enough to hold the body up. I'll post some pictures of that. Heh.

[Fredo]

Spent from 8am to about 8pm saturday restructuring the rear of the frame on lurch. The doors even shut correctly on the strikers again! So basically it's ready to go f'up again. I think I'm in....so who all is going on this trip?

[DRAGOONRANCH]

I'll go through and edit my first post w/ a list in a bit.

[Sharpe]

Well Pigpen is prety much ****ed right now so I might just ride along. Anyone need a tow? I provide truck and trailer you provide trail rig and ALL FUEL. My truck gets 6 mpg towing Pigpen so keep that in mind.

[Seth]

damn, jew

[Fredo]

[Fredo]

am I the only one that laughs while reading cook's posts. In my mind, I read them like Lurch from Addams Family would say them. Soooo gooooo foooorrrrrr ittt......missterrrrrrrr vice prreesssiddeeennnnttttt.

[BMFScout]

uuuuuuuuugggggggghhhhh.....

[jerryg79]

i hate the adams family. When i was little after lunch the shows went lassie, the monkeys show, batman, and then the adams family/i dream of genie. I watched the first three regularly (if my mom didnt kick my ass outside), and once the adams family came on i turned on the nintendo.

[Fredo]

you watched lassie? The coolest part of Lassie was the late 50's GMC Cameo pickup the dad on the show had. Same with the monkeys. That wierd ass limo contraption to look like a long superbird was about the coolest thing they had going too.

[jerryg79]

I was 4 and 5, once i started school my mom had me going to all kinds of crap to get me out of the house. Bible school, ymca camps, etc.

[TMatheaus]

[8Runner]

And I am out because of Davido's pre-wedding shindig...sorry

[RCcola55]

http://www.racepumps.com/

me and flem replaced the pump and jumped the relay, the fuel pressure was still too low so we then unplugged the reg., she ran fine for like 5 min then acted like it was going to die whenever i touched the gas

[Fredo]

bad regulator?

[RCcola55]

normal when the regulator goes bad on these motors the fuel pressure goes way up, they are the diaphram/vacuum controlled type, and the damn thing is brand new

[agjohn02]

does he volunteer to work on everybody's POS or does he just get suckered in a lot?

[mudtoy67]

I'm not sure if you have the same engine/efi as my 95 Ford, but the acting like it's gonna die when you hit the gas problem has happened to me and some others. The problem ended up being a bad TPS each time. Mine would work fine for a while then all of a sudden would have no power. It would idle fine, but giving it throttle would make it want to die. Maybe you have a combination of this and a faulty regulator. I know it's new, but that doesn't mean it can't be defective.

[Sharpe]

Yaahhhhhh, about those TPS reports...

[Fredo]

So it's pretty much down to Ed, Creighton, and myself. Hmm.....Ed, you just want to come to Dallas and drink? :)

[DRAGOONRANCH]

I gotta get some wheelin in sometime soon. Maybe headed back overseas in a month or so.... BMRA maybe?

[DRAGOONRANCH]

Or what about the new park north of Ft. Worth???

[agjohn02]

Maybe headed back overseas in a month or so....


whiskey tango foxtrot?

[DRAGOONRANCH]

My unit was called up.








Not really. I will give you a call and fill ya in later.

[agjohn02]

[robertf03]

I showed up for some tiger woods golf, then some how ended up in the driveway

[RCcola55]

thinking of that you need to work on your guy

[robertf03]

yes, I know. I really need that 8.5 degree driver.

[BMFScout]

Flem, let us not forget what happened the last time you went to college and spent all your time on Dexter! Remember? Hmmmmm? :flipoff2:

[sasquatch]

212000, im lost on ideas about this pos

try running the codes on it again. you can also need to test things like the tps and **** like that. didn't it rain on your motor a few times when the hood was off?

[FJAggie07]

theres fall quarterly or whatever at bmra in oct. scott knows when it is and plans to go. i will probably show up with ranger two in tow.

I think that is the same weekend as the work weekend and I think that makes it Oct. 26-28?

[robertf03]

we checked tps, its a smooth transition all the way up
I still think its ICM, but those are kind of pricey

can't some parts stores test the icm?

[robertf03]

not really, its usually a heat thing. probably works great in a 70 degree store.

Looks like it is just Creighton and myself right now. Ryan is a maybe for a ride along. I updated the list here (http://tamor.org/forums/showthread.php?p=161350&highlight=find+thread#post161350).

[robertf03]

if you can find a 94 or 95 it'll have a remote mounted ICM with a big ass heat sink, same ICM, slightly different distributor but you can just extend the wiring and make it work.

[AggieTJ2007]

ok, well I am down, yall can puss out all you want but Ed and I are going to have a great time

[Cajun]

A bunch of us will be in Gilmer if you guys want to drive a little farther.

[DRAGOONRANCH]

Andy, I appreciate the offer but I think Creighton and I decided we wanted to get some good redneck veiwing in this weekend. He is just waiting on his new choos for the jeep to show up and I am finishin up loading up right now.

Last call for a ride out there.

[OnyxZ71]

howdy yall, im out here in Nacogdoches at SFA with my two friends. We are coming out there. We are all members of the off road club, im a newb. Can you just let us know what channel you will be on? We'll be on channel 12 if we cant get ahold of you guys.

[Sharpe]

TAMOR is usually on 12 as well. They will have a BIG purple chevy, red chevy dually w/ gooseneck and a yellow TJ.

[BMFScout]

just look for the drunk rednecks, you can't miss them! :gigem:

[OnyxZ71]

awesome, yeah last time i went out with yall you were on 12 as well. Awesome, we are about to head out there and hopefully meet up with you guys. We will be in an 98 extend cab grey Z71.

[Seth]

awesome!

[OnyxZ71]

awesome!

haha, i said awesome a lot didnt I? That was as I was running out the door to head out there. Oh well, I was scattered. Fun day, we saw the trucks and couldnt find anyone so we took the truck out on our own, then when we came back the yellow wrangler had broken a U-joint and who knows what else and the spindle wasnt attached. But we did find one guy and saw Ed drive by. We are going back out tomorrow for a bit but TAMOR is leaving early so I ended up not wheeling with the off road club at all. We got some good pictures.

[uglyota]

the noo choos were a little stickier than the old ones, eh?

[OnyxZ71]

[uglyota]

This was Creighton's first run on those tires

[OnyxZ71]

managed to bury a set of 35's

http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z69/greyz71/SSPX0064.jpg

[OnyxZ71]

This was Creighton's first run on those tires

oh really? We didnt wheel with them at all. And we are going back out tomorrow but they said they were leaving early. He busted the jeep and Ed was runnin in 2wd. I think he broke a shaft.

[AggieTJ2007]

for the news, I busted a rear u-joint because I broke my limiting straps and broke a front u-joint climbing a hill in 2nd gear w/ krawler hittling the rev limiter in front wheel drive.

drove it back to camp with one wheel drive and whill backing into the shade it busted the ball joint

Ed managed to bust both front shafts while wedging his truck firmly inbetween 2 trees, one in front touching the stinger and another holding the tailgate shut.

we had to cut a tree, with permission of the owners, to get it out

he should have pictures but I was able to pull the inner axleshaft yoke out of the nuckle with the tire still one.

Good stuff

they on the way home we discovered a blown inside dual and was unable to find a replacement so we drove to dallas with a blow inside dual chunking rubber as we drove down the highway.

Also his alignment must be fcked because the driverside front on the truck was worn to the cords is several spots on inside so we had to change it as well.

Fun drive home

[DRAGOONRANCH]

Inside left rear dual on the trailer.

It made it all the way back to the house like that, will get it fixed in the a.m. I don't think I took one frikin picture all weekend. I was to pissed about the broken u-joints and shafts on the beast to think about it. It did pretty good in 2wd on saturday on the way back to camp from the 4 wheeler comps. There were some pretty good hills and holes that required a good bit of finesse of the skinny pedal. Once the "upgrades" are done, there will be plenty of good video of the beast gettin beat to ****. :) Good time were had, I met up w/ some folks from Durango (a little town in our school district) that I sorta knew and got to wheel w/ them Friday night. That is when the truck got wedged and broke. Guess I shouldn't try to follow a sammy anymore :D It only took us 3 hours to find it the next morning. (Lets just say there were plenty of libations consumed both nights. )

[DRAGOONRANCH]

Sorry we didn't get to wheel w/ ya. We will get some good runs in next time we go. :cheers:

[DRAGOONRANCH]

We never did figure out what they were "esplodin" down a the mud hole did we? That was some loud **** for a firecracker.

[OnyxZ71]

Sorry we didn't get to wheel w/ ya. We will get some good runs in next time we go. :cheers:

no problem man, I had fun with my two friends and we got to check out the park so it was a good weekend. I dont think I have even met you, Ill have to do that. Im lookin forward to the next run to meet some more guys and do some wheeling.

[DRAGOONRANCH]

The one and only picture from that weekend and it didnt get taken until last month. :(

yes, that is 35 spl. outers. :D

Funny reading back on this thread though, the same tire (just the front axle this time) shelled it's cap coming through San Marcos on 35. That was a sight to look back and see the cap about 15 feet in the air with traffic behind me. Lucked out and no one was hit. I can't remember what the brand of those tires is, but they are complete sh!t. Put some Hankooks on so we will see how they hold up.
