I'll be in attendance. Weekend temps look to be quite high. Still... :cool:

Scored some stockish height OME springs from Mudrak a few weeks ago. Now onto the remaining components. :cool:

Stock gears. I'm reverting to stock height. No longer need or want the added lift.

Been there, done that. OEM tire size is 275/70R16. Bought it with 265's and it now has 285's . The 265's weren't much better than the 285's on the hills

I've only had this one lifted and it certainly de-rated the up hill power. It's a nice rig to travel in but a pain in the ass going up hills. Like i'm driving a log truck so dang slow. Hoping there's no diff between the power at stock height and the 3/4" taller springs. Thoughts?

93 FZJ80 Had Mudrak install a 50mm OME lift not long after I bought the rig years ago. Without re-gearing it performed like an anchor and parachute was also installed. De-lifting due to decrepit old age(mine) and performance . Have the opportunity to score some nearly stock springs 3/4" over...

Yes, there where several including Lori Bomke in Jeffs FJ40. I was not one of them.

Missed you two

Still looking to hit Sourdough Friday pm via Rowdy Creek. see ya’ll then

Chomping at the bit to see old friends. I’ll be up Friday pm to sourdough. Any 2xl tshirts from PMC available? 2 meter radios? What frequency to be used if any? See you boys (& girls) in camp.

April eclipse in Waco. Friends & relatives near Houston. 2 nites camping on the gulf just north of Galveston on Bolivar peninsula. Four corners and Monument Valley ( bucket list item). Home through Vegas, Death Valley and up 395 to Susanville, Redding and home. 5400 miles. A few driving errors...

I'm game. Which bridge? :cool:

Note to self : must peruse Mud more often. I was unaware Jeff had passed. Sad news. While I probably won't run the trail, I do want to attend @ Sourdough. Good memories and good friends. See you in camp. :cool:
