I'm guessing your shipment got put on the wrong truck and they'll find it as soon as the truck gets to it's destination. Then it'll get re-routed to your house. So you're looking at an extra two or three days at the most.

 

What'cha mean you're not on a tight schedule!! We hit Mountainside first weekend in June - that's only a couple weeks away. You're not skipping out on another ride are ya?

By the way, I used to work for UPS and although many people think boxes get shipped to some huge warehouse facility in the desert where they're stored for several weeks at a time, it just ain't so. Packages are almost constantly moving . . . even if they are returning from a detour to Alaska.

Denny, what were your deciding factors to go with Trailmaster?

 

I will have one in a couple of weeks after I get back and install the new bumper. Ive got a tow hitch on there now that will come off.....

 

Thanks Denny!

Seriously, Wes, any word on where the crate is? I know it has to be tough knowing that your lift is out there somewhere, when it could be in you garage by now! Or on your Jeep!!


I must have missed it (and am too lazy to look or search), but what is this upcoming ride to Mountainside in a couple of weeks all about?

hey wilky, I saw you yesterday evening on highway 20

 

You're not alone Justin, he didn't wave to me either today when we passed by each other on the Pkwy (since I was driving my Camry I'll cut him a little slack).

 

Denny, Brandon, and I are considering a run down to Mountainside first weekend in June if the weather has been perfect.
Any rain or mud . . . forget it.

 

I might be able to make it that weekend. Keep me posted if you decide to go.

 

After my last trail ride, I had some issues with my MTR's rubbing all my fenders and also had the rear tires rubbing my sliders. I thought about flat fenders and cutting the rails and pinch seams, but wasn't crazy about going that route. I decided taller springs to get the tires away from the flares and control arms to get the tires away from the sliders. And since I was doing springs and control arms, drive shafts probably would be needed at some point. Especially since there have been a lot of people with 4-door automatics having problems with the boot on the front drive shaft rubbing and tearing when disconnected.

That being said, I was looking for a kit with at least 4" of lift and control arms. Drive shafts weren't part of my requirement, but would be nice to have. I also had to stay within my tax refund budget.

The Trail master is a 5" kit with 8 adjustable control arms, longer brake lines, disconnects, shocks, front track bar, and front and rear drive shafts. It had everything I was looking for and more. It was also about a grand less than other kits with similar parts.

The control arms really impressed me. The flex joints are sealed with graphite so no greasing is necessary. And six of the arms have jam nuts on both ends so they can be adjusted without taking them off the jeep. Also, the arms are .25 thick. I checked some other mfr control arms and most didn't say how thick the walls were, but the ones that did were all less than .20. I don't know much about the drive shafts, but they have got to be better than what's on the jeep right now.

So the bottom line is it has more than what I was looking for and could be purchased for a lot less than other kits with fewer parts.

Here's Quadratec's link if you want to see a pic of all the parts.
