Fordyce 11-5, Day trip
« on: Nov 04, 2006, 05:38:43 PM »
Sper of the moment type of thing, didn't really plan it but we're going to be heading up to Fordyce tomorrow for a short day run. Anyone's welcome to join as usual!

Probably wheel just past the first winch hill, depending on what the waters like of course. According to Dreamflows its only at 75!

Feel free to e-mail me or PM me if you want to cruise up w/ us

Got a really late start because we had difficulty finding Rudy a trailer , we wheeled in 7 miles and then had to come back.

Had a great time, weather was great and we didn't break anything. All in All I had a blast!

Posted just some random pictures, meet up w/ Pete in the Sami.. really cool guy meet him at MCR5. Ran the right line on driveline hill.. didn't give us to much trouble. My shocks are still really screwed up so the off camber sections were interesting. Good times  :beerchug:

dude I am so jealous I haven't gotten to wheel really at all since the little tiny bit at the roundup

I can't wait to get back down there and wheel with you guys.  Did I tell you I got the buggy running all good now.  Just refilled my shocks to and it now sits a little better and rides A LOT better.  I don't quite understand however why you are having such a hard time with those airshocks mine work great.

btw do you have your own nitro take for refilling them?

Nah this is what makes it really difficult for me, I have to go to a buddies shop everytime I want to fill them. As you can tell in this picture my trucks stable but on off camber situations the truck REALLY leans like the shocks aren't holding any weight on the up travel.

Didn't make it to winch hill one.

You dont even have a functional truck, besides I hear you dont want to put anymore time/money into the rig or even wheel it!  Just dirt trails?!?!   remind me to biatch slap some sence into next time I see you ELV.  :beerwhack: :slap: :yesnod:

Ouch man, but you are half way correct. I am moving into a new place and I have a possible custody battle for my son coming, so... funds are short and when I do get some change (some time next year) I will be putting on marlins 4inch USA's. I think thats plenty wheelable, but I want to set it up more as a hunting rig since I can't stay stationed here forever.

I told Rudy to call you and tell you IMMEDIATLY after I told him we were going up for a day trip. He said you wouldn't want to go!

If you want to blame anyone, blame Rudy....


Btw you know i'm just fug'n with you ELV, I think you should get some 63's and rear's up front from the junk yard for around $150 for now but thats just my  :twocents:
