    with clarkes kit you would still need all shocks, brake lines, blocks, and u-bolts. Probably another $300 depending on shock quality/brand.

    I would go extended arms, sorry clarke. See my BWT thread for why. Basically, my frame cracked, while the drop brackets were way beefy and had no problem holding up. I agree that an SAS is not the only option though. Especially after seeing some of the longtravel type stuff made for TTB. Hell, wanna trade trucks?

    Today i bought a class 3 receiver on craigslist for my truck so i can use that as a recovery point in the rear. I have 2 10k tow hooks i'm going to mount to the frame with some grade 8 bolts and nuts in the front. Is there anything else i should be looking for to get my truck ready for gilmer? I have a 15' tow strap and a hi lift in the truck. Should I carry some extra u-joints with me? I'm not sure if I'm doing stressful enough wheeling to break any or not.

    Front Axle u-joints along with driveshaft u-joints. A handfull of wrenches, a mini-sledge (2lb), a few fuses and relays. That's a good start.

    Oh, and lots and lots of colorado kool-aid to keep Karl well lubricated.

    Eventually you will need to consider spare front axle shafts. However for Gilmer, I will have a complete set of TTB shafts, so if either of us breaks, we can figure something out.

    Some spare u-joints might not be a bad idea, or just change the joints in your truck and keep the old ones for "trail spares".

    Oh and post up in the Newbie thread some pictures. I want to see what this '66 mustang looks like.

    30' 3" strap with loops not hooks.
    Shackle and mount to go in the reciever mount like this
    good pair of leather gloves, esp in winter (tsc has good ones for 13 bucks)
    full size spare tire and 4way or lugwrench
    trail tools never hurt. (6 in 1 screwdriver, crescent wrench, pliers, duct tape, zip ties, fluids, brake clean, wd40, prybar, then sockets and wrenches)
    ratchet straps to hold your crap down (cooler and tub for tools and straps)
    CB radio
    Jumper cables
    mudboots/extra socks/rain gear/warm clothes

    Labeling crap or marking it might help your chances of it getting back to you

    I always had problems with my hubs, yours seemed to work fine but you might pull the covers to make sure they are still clean and lubed after soggy bottom.

    will a 3" strap loop still fit inside the reciever? I guess it should if it's folded over in the loop.

    or you can buy a drop ball hitch for a trailer and put a shackle in the hole instead of a ball. Thats what i'm doing because i already have one

    That would have to be one of the most redneck things I would ever see if I ever saw it.

    what about making one of those receiver shackle mounts with some 2" box tube and some bar stock inside with holes for some grade 8 bolts and the shackle?

    Are you talking about for the front?

    No for the rear to fit into my receiver and hold a shackle, something like this.

    1: 2" box tube
    2: 1/2" grade 8 bolts
    3: Bar stock
    4: Hole for shackle
    5: Hole for hitch pin

    The whole thing would slide into the receiver just like a ball hitch or the one in the TSC link above.
    I think we could buy some box tube and bar stock and make a bunch of these for people in the club at cost. I know there were several people talking about getting these.
