Default Late September Ride?

Hey guys! Sorry I missed you guys over the past few weeks. Sounds like you've been having fun.

We just got back from the High-sierra poker run. Bald Mountain was a blast, but I got rejected from the Swamp Lake Trail. So...

Now I've got the wife's permission to "replace those wimpy tires and get some gears on that thing!"

YAY!

So, over the next few weeks, I'm getting my KM2 35's, Gibson CAT-back, hypertech, 4.88 gears and an ARB air locker.

I need to get out and trail test the rig, who's with me?

Hollister would be easy - or maybe a weekend up in the Sierras? Let me know. It would be fun to wheel with you all again.

HH won't be a bad choice to break in those gear you are getting.


Noticed that you are in the Bay area. What city are you in?

Smile Nice to see you again

If I have my new set up, I am game if you come up to my neck of the woods.

Signal Peak is a fun run.
So is Slickrock.

I'm in Los Gatos. Beautiful mountains behind me, with no trails to ride on!

Fantastic location for riding my bike, bummer location for 4 wheeling!

I'm actually off call the weekend of the 27th and 28th, but probably doing something non-offroad related.

Default Hollister on Sunday?

Got the rig back, and have to shake it out. Anyone up for a run on Sunday?

I need to break in the rings, but should be done tomorrow. Then it's time to shake out the system!

New muffler sounds awesome!

Just noticed you have an ARB front locker?

Didn't know they were available for the D30(unless you upgraded to D44 or something)
