the 9th is on a saturday. send me your number and we'll take the trucks out there

 

well just so you two know mothers day is that sunday lol the 10th...but that saturday you should head out to rancho its not to wet out there right now

 

for some reason i think your lying since it flooded here and it was headed yalls way

definitely didn't know the 10th was mothers day, my mothers gonna be out of town

 

haha i wish i was theres mud but its not like its flooded its still alot of fun but if you decide to come down on the 9th i should be able to head out there on saturday..just let me know

 

mothers day? oops. well rancho would actually be a better idea alitte more of a "trail ride" than just the mud pit.

that would be a really good idea though thanks for pointing it out. Ill have to find a new way in cause my truck aint fittin between those 2 trees at the wash out! Its way too wide

 

lol. ill talk to my cousins and see what day they plan on coming, and ill let yall know specific dates soon.

 

alright man let me know.

TRUCK UPDATE The steering is done, but we will have to add a drag link. But thats not bad.

Ill be getting some pictures up this week.

 

dude what part of washout are you talkin about, my truck plus a 2 quads could go through it side by side lol you shouldnt have any problems lol...but thats good they got that steering done finally and ya it would be cool to get a group out there let me know and ill ask for the day off or something

 

well when me and minimonster went out there he couldnt get though and i just barely made it though.

I geuss if you cross straight over the washout instead of curving around the deep spots. But really it doesnt matter where i cross at ill make a new crossing, i really doubt it will be that deep out there.

when me and jon went it was flooded and the washout was too deep to go straight across so we weaved back though it and got to a spot with 2 really tight trees that jon couldnt make it through, and after you go past those you drop down into a fairly deep hard bottomed area, (probably wont get stuck unless you get bumper hung) then you curve to the left thats as far back as ive been. I decided to go back across since jon couldnt get though.

 

Awesome that you got the stearing done. Crazy offer because i live a thousand miles away but, anything i can do to help you get her back on(off) the road? This thread/build has gone on way too long

 

yeah actually, if you have any connections in suspension shops, that could get me some leaf springs for the rear of my truck would be amazing.

what i need:

eye to eye: 55-56" if its close it will work

width: 2.5"

Lift: they need to have at least 10" and no more than 16" of lift.

or

Superduty 10"+ lift springs that are 3" wide

Superlift springs for a chevy that are 2.5" wide and 12" lift.

right now ive got a quote of 550 shipped and im trying to do better than that. if not then thats what im going with.

 

yeah, when Cecil and I were out there, I was so close to making it through the crossing. There was one skinny tree in the way that wouldn't snap. I have the wider flareside bed, that's why I wasn't able to fit through.

 

i think theres another way of getting back there. Ive never been all the way back so im not sure. but once the trucks done ill drive straight thought the washout... i really doubt its that deep, its probably shallow now with such little rain.

but if i go first yall can get a judge on the depth. I think we will need at least 3 trucks cause i doubt 1 will beable to pull me out if i do infact get stuck. which will be possible with only 2wd.

 

Just noticed you're in Tampa trimble. Headed to FL tomorrow as a "trophy spouse" with the wife for a conference she gets sent to every year for work.

Until last year they were in St. Pete! Now they're in Ft. Lauderdale... I would have loved to have seen your truck in person...

 

Well that sucks man, let me know if you have some spare time on the way back are you drivin or flying? If you drivin i can give you a quick run to the shop were the truck is.

any time your down here let me know.
