So where is this trail ? Are there more near it? Dinkey creek? thats out by the Dusy and Swamp? Josh doesn't seem to have this trail mapped out.
Karl the weather looks awesome! Are these recent? I wanna squeeze in a trip possibly
Been a while since I've updated. Not much has happened since, I've been spending a lot of time on how I want my DD to end up. I'll probably be shooting for a 2" and 30ish inch tires with some steelies once I finish my 4x4 conversion, which I have not worked on since I stole a knuckle off of it for my rig. I'll be getting some new ball joints courtesy of my father out of the deal so thats nice. What I'm trying to say is: I'm going to possibly have some suspension components available in the near future for a 4.5" ish lift, I'll have to go through and see what i'll want to use on my rig vs what I don't need.
About that lp dana 30 for my dd:
I'm basically just going to fix the mounts and run it, no truss, gearing or lockers. I'll put that money into other stuff. I've been thinking of the best way to go about fixing the mounts, and the best thing I've found has been Ballistic Fab's TJ-XJ Combo Bracket Upgrade Kit (but they've been out of stock). I've spent the past week trying to (periodically) get a hold of them: calls, Emails, facebook, all during their "business hours". Only received one message from them asking for my phone number so they could talk to me about it. I tried them the next day and got the same treatment; so I'll be taking my business elsewhere.
Oh look, the same product right here in stock. That's how you lose customers Ballistic Fab.
Any way, here is a link to my picture (and video) album from my Dinkey Creek trip in July. I have more videos but they exceed photobucket's upload size so I'm loading them into youtube and ill post the links when they're available. It was a blast, and for my buddies who had never been wheeling before it was an awesome camping trip. The landscape was beautiful, but after a few days we realized just how many people were out there and it really made it seem less secluded.
Pics
I've ordered some headlight parts, harness and housings, that should be here next week so I can post some progress pics. After that I have a small list of stuff to do to the rig before the toy run at Hollister.
Only possible problem I see is the degree angle the arms sit at. Interested to see the outcome of this.
Twinhauler, did you buy the D30 specific mounts
