Dusty it was good to finally meet up, you got a great car there , maybe we can run up to Walker Valley and see what thats like

a few of us are planning on going out to Walker Valley ORV park say mid November, maybe the 19Th, call it the Turkey Day Run or somthin, hit the trails and have lunch ,

4 of us went out. 4 came back, had a good time tryed out some trails we had never been on , all had damage except me

a few of us went up Northfork Sat heres a pic

Last time I was at Pismo, was May of 86 got my uncles van stuck on the beach, got really scared with the tide comin in, learned all about "Air Down" fron a nice local and we drove right out

a few of us went out Northfork Saturday, I would like to go out again ,maybe Walker Valley , or Reiter mid November.

I just talked to Uncool were going to meet at IGA @ 2:00 he has a red hatch , so who ever wants to come meet us there , the weather looks good

I am planning on going, how about meeting at Dodsons IGA food store at Nuggets corner at say 1:00 or 2:00 ?? Scott

super sport ht 215/75 15 at walmart 72.42 each, it is a mud terrain, I don't know anyone using this tire, you won't find it on line, for $300 I personally would give it a try. My swampers I just got ended up over $600

why not?

rim 15 x 8 5" out 3" backside, used them just because I had them layin around, they stick out way to far , looking for different rims, like 15 x 7 4" backside, didnt sipe

gearing for one thing, dint want to go bigger then 27 " wanted a radial for quieter ride and on road traction I like the side wall grippies Super Swamper has thee most agressive tread in that small a tire I live in the Northwest where most the offroading will include Mud These tires will most likely end up on my Ultimate Offroader which will be a towed/trailered rig, maybe go with some Kuhmos on the Tow/Daily driver Turbo rig

got my tires ,heres a few pics . there awesome alot quieter on the road then I had expected , cant wait to try them out

If we go to North Fork here are some directions at Bellingham take Sunset exit travel out Mt. Baker Highway, past the Hwy 9 intersection to the "Welcome Store" @ Mosquito Lake Rd, Turn right, cross over the Nooksack river bridge & take the first Left on to North Fork Rd. then travel about four miles or so staying to the Left @ all intersections. You will pass two gravel pits where people have been playing with their ORV's of choice (a lot of bikes and quads) The first trail is about a half mile past the second pit. There are 5 trailheads if I remember correctly & they are all off the right side of the rd when headed in. The DNR sign says "Morell Flats" the pit refered to is the second pit , it will be on left, the first one is on the right , not really a pit maybe 1/2 pit last time we went out we all met and drove out, played in the 2nd pit and took a trail off the back side , out toward the river got my Tires so Im ready to go out Mud- got a new job works late

whats your estimated time to be on road, maybe ferry landing time and plan for Saturday, my wife has a cousen that lives out there ( at Port townson) "Swiss Lavender Farm " or something

how about Midday Friday At Northfork?

it is started, this is the design process, you got to remember Im not as young as I used to be , I dont move as fast either , also Ive learned if I have a well thought out plan befor I do any shop work the project will go faster and there will be less rework, also this is not the only Iron I have in the fire, I will probably lift another wagon and finish up the details on the EA81 lift first befor I start cutting up my present Daily driver SJR

the guys up here mostly run Toypta pickup, the ones that get alot of trail use have the rubber mounted round lights that mount on a flat surface,and are inset,they usually mount them in the tailgate away from the corner, like you see on the back of semi trailers , most all the corner mounted taillights end up broken or cracked

:cool:
