spring break trip(s)

[eight]

The trip to Cruces is about 740 miles one way.

What's everyone still planning on doing? I'm not up for all the driving in Scott's plan and I'm sure more of you aren't either. How many days of wheeling can Cruces provide? Is there nothing near our route where we could wheel a day or so?

[redcagepatrol]

you could wheel Mason on the way out to Cruses... There are enough trails in Cruses to keep you happy for a week, but some of us have already run most of them and are looking for something different. See you in Cruces - Happy trails

Hey scott, I'm in class right now, so I can't call him to find out, but do you know how big of trailer busa is going to be towing, and how many rigs he is going to have on it? The way he has been talking to me it sounds like he is only pulling his toy. I was going to just ride along, but after talking to nick I feel like trying to bring my truck if possible. I'm riding with Busa no matter what, but I would like to bring my toy along if there is room somewhere.

[redcagepatrol]

will fix sig in second,

As for Busa, he doen't want to pull a large gooseneck and only wants to pull his tow on a small trailer. I am using his utility trailer for Lynda and Mine is going up on Greg's next to his beast. It will be a waste to bring your truck and not wheel it... Call him and try to talk him into a large gooseneck...

[CRaSHnBuRN]

If my truck comes, I will wheel it. My problem was coming up with a tow rig and a trailer (plus I still have a lot of things I really need to do to my truck). I figured at least if I rode with busa I would get a chance to check some of these places out, but the more I think about it the more I want to take my truck. I'll try to call him later after I'm out of class.

Is greg's rig going to be done?

Doug

[CRaSHnBuRN]

Which one? Yesterday he was talking like he might just try to get the yota done and bring it. But still no axle shafts for the jeep as of last night.

[Krawler68]

I thought the Toy was already done?

Are these shafts Broached or flanged shafts? It shouldn't be that hard to get the measurements and get a custom shaft sent from Cone Ind. or CTM... I would get Avalanche to refund my money on the shaft too...

[redcagepatrol]

the Yota has a TERRIBLE front driveshaft angle and will require the front knuckles to be rotated or less lift, or a high pinion. Also, there is no reliable steering

As for the axleshaft- taled to them yesterday too, still searching for the right one - which order is mine type of deal - or was it ever ordered???

He said that he will OWN Avalanche if his stuff isn't on his truck by spring break - Wood's group/Mustang lawers invloved...

[Krawler68]

I'll buy some of the tools off him if he gets the shop...

I still think he should have called Cone Ind. a long time ago and got it moving.

[Doug Krebs]

Hmmm i'm not sure about rex, i don't think he is going unless he changed something in the last day or so.

[fbronco86]

umm yes i would like to stay around the las cruses area. ryan you said something about the frio river. If its warm that could be a good idea wheel for a few days and then do that. also i was wandering what we need to do for the camping arragements do we need to call ahead and get a reserve a spot at las cruses?

[fbronco86]
