anyone up for a trip out to barnwell (gilmer, tx)...say the weekend of feb 17th? i know it's a while 'til then but the holidays, a birthday and anniversary will all be over with here and hopefully i'll have my tera's in, and all the bugs worked out, and ready to hit the trails by then.

would be nice to see some isuzu's out there. anyone interested?

Feb 17 should be fine for me, and I'm sure Randy will want to be there. We have been installing an ARB locker in the Bucket Trooper... it will be done soon... <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" />

We might try to get out there next month. I'm thinking about January 20 or 27?

I'm pretty sure I can be there, even if I have to leave my big trooper at home, and just take the second gen.

What locker are you putting in?? front/back?


Are you guys thinking of camping?? me and my brother want to go camping.

Rear ARB RD85. I bought a carrier from a '98 Trooper to use, so we have been installing the ARB in it on the bench. I had to replace the bearings and oil seal, but it is ready to go in.

I will probably camp. We will see what the weather is like, but it should be good.

Cool, your trooper has came a long way sence I first moved down here. congrats on the ARB <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
I'm not sure if I'm going to spend the money on a front locker for mine, sence I've got another trooper it might be sas time soon <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

how 'bout dibs on the 5.38's, chris?

hey steve, you giving away tires now?? i happen to know a guy.... <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

so, are we bumping the date up to jan. 20th or 27th for barnwell. man, i gotta get busy. i gotta get these tera's in pretty quick.

about camping...just going to throw this out there. my camp site (fred lobster) is only about 20 minutes from barnwell. it's on the sabine river and y'all are more than welcome to camp out there. there's even a couple of small trails for a little night wheelin' and a mud bog pit if you're interested.

<img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> I'm keeping the 5.38's <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> If my brother goes to 33's we might put them in his amigo.

If we don't use them though, you've got dibs.


I've got one big problem with my new trooper that I forgot about......It doesn't have any cv's <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/zombie.gif" alt="" />
Worst case I'll let my dad drive my new trooper to work. and I'll use his truck to pull my big troop <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />.

never hurts to ask <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> (thanks on dibs <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" />)



yeah, chris, you need to get the big troop back out to barnwell <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />

so, has anyone decided on the date yet and given any thought to camping out at fred lobster? is there only four of us interested in this trip?? <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

My vote for the date is Jan. 19 - 21, Friday - Sunday. There are going to be some folks there from DFW-TX 4WD club, and it will be a good turnout. They are getting ready for the MEGARUN, which you boys need to step up to this year. It was a blast last year...

As for camping, I plan on camping at BMRA or we might stay at the cabin near Lake Fork. I'd rather camp out... <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" />

ok, i'll 2nd that.
