Ya, I have rolled the thing 3 times or so, and landed it on its side countless times. Its a beater for sure, when your on the rocks, you don't want to have to worry about body damage ! Now i hope I just don't scratch my dents !
Should be fun.

Thats a big negative on the E-brake. Just haven't gotten around to it. :o

mSal: New exhuast ?? Nice. What set-up are you running ?

well they didnt have time for me today, so im going in tomorrow morning. I currently have a flowmaster super44 SI/DO, i bought a Roush Offroad muffler and i'm having it swapped for the flowmaster muffler, and if they can i would like to have the rear cats cut out (but a lot of shops dont like the play with cats/emissions).

I see a stock tailpipe on your truck MT, maybe a FREE flowmaster super44 muffler (only 6k miles on it, nice and broken in) would interest you?

Jameson is good with me...

Just don't offer me that JD crap. I am sort of a liquor snob.

I am trying to convince my friend with a YJ to come. He has a 4" lift and 33's. If he doesn't bring that, he might bring his 2004 F150 7 lug. My truck will be mostly repainted by the trip (due to vandalism), so I may not be down with trail runs. We shall see.

The last weekend of April. If you don't make it up there with them, I could meet up with you and lead you in on Saturday night.

Its all yours. Bring a sawzal and welder and like 2 ft of 2.5" pipe (for dual turndowns, unless you want to run tips all the way out the back)...You have a big 4x4, time to make it sound like one.

Jameson is excellent... you don't like Jack Torn ? What about gentlemen Jack ? Or Jack Daniel's Single Barrel ? JD makes some real quality whiskey, there basic stuff is alright too (by me).

rmadison: We are leaving April 25-27. I plan on leaving fairly early in the afternoon on Friday, should be at the camp by about 3 ish or so. Hope you can make it man !

mSal : Not sure if I will be doing the install out on the trail, I got all the gear to put it on here at the shop, plus the lift, so it would be a bit easier. Still willing ?

Man, your telling me ! I can't even hear mine idle !!

Yeah you can have it, i have no more need for it since my dad refuses to put anything on his rig. Its in good condition, only about 7 months old and sounds awesome. EDIT: if the shop tomorrow refuses to take off my cats, maybe i'll make a trip over to your shop so we can do it there, and i can drop off your muffler and we'll install that too

Where is the shop located? its not in Rohnert Park right?

And how can anyone not like the ol' #7? Jack is so so good.

I did something i probably shouldn't have. I was near 4wheelparts in San Jose during work. So, I decided to go in and price some super swampers. So,I walked out after buying some 36x13.5 irok radials. It was impulsive but i have been wanting them for some time. So, if any buddy wants some bfg mt's (35x12.5-17) for $200 I'll bring them up with me. They have about 10,000 - 15,000 mi. left. Sorry, i won't have pix for a while because they have to ship them in from interco directly and it will be 3 weeks I'll have them in time for the trip though.

Thats awesome ! I'm stoked to see it up on some big *** IROK's. Should be pretty sweet. Glad I don't have a place like that around here. I'd be in and out all the time, buying up anything that caught my eye... til I was flat broke !

You have a pic of th 35" tires your selling ? I may be interested in them... for the Zuki ! What rim size ?

Nice. My friend had 36" IROCs on his 7" lifted chevy, they were awesome offroad. They hum like crazy though, i hope you dont mind the tire noise. Baddass tires though, cant wait to see 'em.
