"Later, I learned that even though I engage 4WD my hubs are not automatically locking? Something about manual locking hubs I think. What's manual mean? I need to read a manual to lock them? lol  So I found these neat autolocking hubs and installed them. Sometimes they dont stay locked while I am backing up, but that's fine because I dont have a backup camera to see where Im going (like our RV) so I just simply dont ever back up"- BigMike

Toughness is optional, depends on what lines you take. It is mostly dirt/mud/snow

Here are some pics from BlackDog's run:

Bad news, Trip is CANCELED!

I was supposed to be going to a Child Birth class today, but the class was canceled and will probably be rescheduled for next Saturday. So anyway, I gotta put my kid before wheeling.

Maybe Niagara on Memorial day?

Sorry guys,
Kyle

I think I get Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday (Memorial Day) off this year. So I guess that would be the weekend before? :dunno: 26th,27th,28th,29th probably wheel sunday monday.
I'll let you know as we get closer.
I'm just really pissed that they canceled my class, my wife only has 3-1/2 weeks until she is due!
