Not a problem, let us know when you get here and what type of trails you like, and we'll go from there.
Let us know if you need any help moving stuff.

Thanks guys, I might take you up on that. I'll keep you posted on the move. I'm sure if Isotel shows up late there will still be plenty to do.:-) My wife loves antiques and I love woodworking so we have way too much stuff.

Glad to have another cruiserhead coming to town, and interested in the club! Sounds like you got a Pretty Sweet 60 Series!

If you think 60 series owners are sensitive, try telling a 40 series that his ride is a Jeep!




Can't guarantee I can help with the unloading, But I will give it a shot.

Andy is just jealous that he doesn't have a 40!!!!!!

If you ever break a steering arm off, Andy has PLENTY of experience in that catagory.

Hey guys! Well I am here!!! I would have posted it and had you guys come and help out but things got real crazy right before the move. We ended up having about 20 people from the church I will be working at come and unload eveything for us in about an hour and a half! It was amazing! I love it out here already. Look forward to getting connected with your club. How much does the altittude effect the shifting on a 700R4. It shifts really hard and late, above 4000 RPM, when I first get going, but after it warms up it shifts early, around 2000 RPM. I end up just running through the gears manually. There is no slipping though. Maybe I jusy need a good flush and new filter. Any suggestions?

Hey Tony,
Congrats on the move. I don't know much about Auto trannys but, I do know altitude will/can do some wild things. Temperature here might play a factor also, I'm guessing its generally colder here. If you can't figure it out, Let me know, I can recommend a couple of good Auto trans shops in town.

Andy

Welcome! Glad you like it already!

Mine seems to shift fine, but ive never had it below 5,000 feet! lol Id do a filter change, and maybe adjust the TV cable if its still jacked up.. April 16 is the next meeting, and April 22 Slaughterhouse Gulch run, hopefully you can make one or the other!

i feel like we are being invaded by wagons.. 3 of the guys that have moved to down have had 60's or 62's

I wouldn't look at it as an invasion but a nice added bonus!

Any reccomendations on a good tranny guy?
