mid CA off road trip?
Ah i see, you plan on adding any other performance mods? I think im throwing mine on the dyno next week for datalogging for Troyer, then sometime this summer i want to add UDPs and E-fans. I'm anxious to see what power im currently making. With my Roush muffler going in and deleting the rear cats, both happening Wednesday, it should help a little as well.
Ya, I plan on more mods, just unsure of what. I want to keep this truck fairly tame, for a longer life (but that will never happen ! Orginally said no lift... oops) I want to do some type of high-flow exhaust. Debating on Long tubes and high flow cats, and just using people I know to get through smog. If i do that, then I will need a bigger intake (S&B) and go from there. i think I will stay away from UDP (unless you do em, and they do wonders and don't hurt much). Maybe E-Fan, but again, not sure if its worth the money. I don't know what else, tons of small mods. Hopefully we will get to see some of our mods actually installed, and swap some ideas.
Don over at Johnny Franklin's and Kenny Belle are working with me on a posible Super Charger for the 4.6L in our trucks. We will see where that leads !

E-fans are expensive from Troyer, but Josiah was telling me of a way to buy all the parts and build it yourself, costs like 120 bucks or so. I may buy the parts and then have him or someone show me how to hook it all up at one of these meets/offroad trips.

I actually have two jobs. Bartender, and a driver for a budweiser distributor. So, my life pretty revolves around the selling of alcohol
.
Okay, here goes.
My name is Matthew, or you may call me ToRn.
Directions to Starbucks:
If traveling South on i5, take the Sperry/Diablo Grande exit, turn left onto Sperry and go across the aquaduct (maybe 100 yards). Turn left at the stoplight. Starbucks is in there somewhere (I think to the right).

Oh, and an FX4 is LSD in the rear, so you will spin both tires. The front goes back and forth, often times spinning both tires.
My truck is open diff in the rear for sure... the front is hit and miss.

Pyramid Apricot Weizen!! so good.
also Heineken. Fat Tire is good stuff too. Had Blue Moon for the first time saturday night and i liked that one also. I'm in college and rarely get to drink quality brew, now I'm getting excited. Any of the ones you mentioned will be more than satisfactory
Never tried absinthe but i want to.

Tried that stuff last night (hence being up late and talking on the forum
) Pretty neat stuff. Definately NOT a hallucinogen. Just a different sort of "drunk". And good, glad your alright with the better beers, some people don't care for all that flavor packed in it. I will probably buy a box of MGD or something similiar just to have beer in bulk !
Any of the other younger fellas have a preference ?

Sorry, meant younger then 21 !
Talkin to my buddy Rob (owner of Johnny Franklin) about caging both Dan's jeep, and my Zuk.
Towed the little beat down the shop to tear into it (again)



6" of lift going on. missing link shackles (kinda like Jeep's TeraFlex Revolver shackles). Long travel suspension. Higher mounted shock hoops for bigger/longer shocks both front and rear. And hopefully a spool or locker of some kind for the rear
Other dan is trying to make his yota work, but we may have to find another rig to tow it. We'll see.
