Colorado 4Runner Jamboree 2010 - July 30th, July 31st & Aug. 1st

[Volcom]

anybody willing to let me ride along if I can get time off work my truck wont be ready by then I just started a new job and have a baby on the way so I have to save money for a while but I still want to go...

There should be about 35-40 open seats.  If you can swing the trip (even without having your own truck) I'd suggest it!  It's an awesome weekend of wheeling!

[coloradocrawler]

i would love to go but its a little too far for me to travel (especialy without a trailer). BUT if you guys do a junction trail this time or on any of the next jambo's i am soooooo in. ill keep an eye out for future posts of the next C4RJ

we are running billings next weekend if u wanna join us?

[wakkjobb]

Again, I am getting pretty psyched about this... still want to move the axles apart some but a 103" WB should be okay for most of the trails. Hopefully I can squeeze together some $$ for new tires too; probably 36" Iroks... anyone running bias-ply tires?

Totally understand.  I've been borrowing my dad's CTD to tow my 4Runner around.  I finally got the go ahead this winter to buy a truck of my own.  We roughly plan the CO4RJ at the same time every year (end of July, start of Aug.)

well now i feel bad. it looks like the misses wants/needs to go to moab to visit her mom and dad and help babysit her sisters baby while her sister goes to a wedding. we will be heading back sunday night 5ish. ill have to check my schedule, im a stay at home dad right now- im open alot during the week. if my wife works i have my son all to myself- and shes still alittle afraid of him getting hurt in a flop or roll so i do not bring him. so if she works i can not go. the weekends are hit or miss with her work schedule. so i guess just keep shootin me notices of dates you guys go out and ill see what i can do.

[jss]

A few of us are gonna hit 21 Rd, Thursday the 6th around 10:30 - 11:00 if anybody is interested...    

[toytank]

im working in nd right now but my next trip is memorail weekend in rangley a group of us r heading that way for 4 day if you can swing it your more than welcome to join us

[Volcom]

Bump!  Two months away.

[wakkjobb]

  ...broke a shock hoop this weekend, lost a caliper bolt and I need new tires; although the old MTRs do well at 10 psi.

>>Dan

[COToy91]

i dunno if I will make it with the new job I have. We shall see, I have had no time to work on the truck at all

[Quick Draw]

Hit up Ironclads today.... Moab on Wednesday....and that's all I have planned until this....so hopefully the truck will be in good shape to go.

[854RUN]

Well i had to put my r151 and dual cases in my truck over the weekend so as long as i can get a front d-shaft by then im in.

I hope you can make it!

[wakkjobb]

Josh, what did you have in your truck before the duals? How about a square d-shaft? They look pretty simple to build; I'm gonna run one whenever I get the RUFs in/done.

it was just stock tranny and t/c with 341xxx miles on it lol. ya i have a square d-shaft from when the tranny and duals where in my 4runner but i have a d44 up front in the T so... and i have a long travel d-shaft from the front its just now 6" to short and it being my dd i need to be able to cruse on the HWY faster than 45. Worse case i will go the the junk yard and pick up a d44 shaft and mod the one side of my square shaft. my tires on the other hand are starting to get a little low on tread.

[Quick Draw]

Well, my rig survived Moab and came back in one piece.  This is my next major wheeling trip I have planned, so she should be ready.

[coloradocrawler]

well the opportunity came and went.   im in the process of doing a bob on the 4unner. i had to let my dad "borrow" his welder back and cant get it till this next weekend. when i get it back i can finish the tailgate and crossmember hopefully during the following week- BUUTT i need to wait for the brother in law to open some space up in his garage so i can borrow his bender for my rear bumper, he is in the middle of rebuilding a trailer in his garage so its gonna be awhile.  all i can say is   .   
   please get lots of pics so i know what im in for on the next one and i will definately be watching for the next chance with the utmost eagerness

[wakkjobb]

Aw, you don't really need a rear bumper; just strap a log out back and call it good. Come wheeling anyways!!

[COToy91]

plenty of trails that dont require a fully built rig. Come out and enjoy the camp amd some of the more scenic trails

im still asking purdy please to the wife to go and just ride.... we will see what she says. ill look around for a log tomorrow. heres a funny "you will get flamed on pirate" question. i have an 87 4runner with a 5 in lift. what kinda log will work best for rockcrawling? does marling make one? TG logs are weak!!!

[wakkjobb]

 
I'd reccomend at least an 8" hardwood (yeah yeah, shut up  ) like oak or a nice chunk of Hickory.
