Chris, I would not go Irok. I think they are more of a rock tire than they are a mud tire. And the trails up here are mud. I presonally think they will suck. But, that is just my opinion. And to me the tread depth is bad shallow. I have seen a set in person. And was not impressed at all....

Ive been following a lot of write ups on the irok, and it appears that they are doing fairly well in a variety of conditions.
i was really interested in what guys around tellico and other east coast places had to say about them since their trail conditions are closer to what we have here. yeah they arent a bogger, but for those of us without 60s and 14 bolts they may be more forgiving on drivetrain components than the old boggerooo.

I think I have a pretty free range with placement of the spring perches as far as rotating the housing, but I also need to figure out the best combination of spring perch placement and knuckle rotation.  I will consult my acquaintances on TTORA for the ideal location for the spring perches, mainly because they have experience doing exactly what I am doing.

I want to get the axle completely setup and rolling before I start the swap, and possibly have the front spring hanger and new crossmember welded on as well, but that's a month or more from now.  
What most people do is have their axle rolling, then once they get the IFS off and the frame smoothed, they throw the leaf springs on the front hangers and swing the springs into place to measure how far back to mount the shackle hangers.

Then you get that stuff welded up, then mount the axle and work on steering box placement.  
Once the truck is drivable, you figure out how tall to make your shock hoops and where exactly to place them.

I guess at that point I will have to make the measurements for the front driveshaft and then send it out to be extended.

Here's where I am now, once I get the steering knuckles and gears out:

Maybe it's not altogether tech anymore, but also maybe I can collect some ideas of where to go next, so the driveshaft doesn't hum over 40 mph.  And since the T100 is basically the best of both the minis and Tacomas, maybe it also helps others chopping up their Toys.

Since this was accomplished at Northern I only have before and after, not during shots, but here goes.

Before - an unalignable ifs T100 with cranked torsion bars:



After - a SFA T100 with a Chevy Dana44, Parts Mike flattop and steering arm, 44044s, Rockstomper steering and High Angle adapted 85 front driveshaft.

The front spring hanger is a SOA kit for some Jeep or other.  I can't keep the initials straight.  I'm a Toyota guy; just tell me Wagonneer, Wrangler, Cherokeee not TJ, YJ, CJ, XJ.  It had the middle section cut out and an additional piece of channel welded in to make the width.  Bgreen replaced it with 2" tube this past weekend to serve as bracing for the winch.

Knuckles on the axle were cut and turned 9 deg. and 8 deg shims put in place on the leaf perches.

I stayed low tierod since it's the extra-heavy rock rod and to keep leaf spring clearance from being an issue.  As it is the drag link will just touch under full droop, and I'd have needed a lighter Rockrod to go full hysteer.  FWIW the few other T100 swaps in the country have stayed low tierod.  The Pitman arm is Scott @ Rockstomper's modified ifs arm.



(yes there are fancy lockers f/r)

I'm not sure if these gussets are part of the SOA kit or a TC invention but they give me more confidence than if they weren't there.



At the front, the frame is nicely 31.5", but toward the rear of the springs it outboards, making a through the frame arrangement a trick without offset shackles.  Northern has also typically done a spring under the frame arrangement on minis, so-



I don't have any shots of it, but there are gussets to the inside of the framerail to support the shackle hanger.

The driveline angle was steep, so after many conversations with Jess at High Angle I opted for his D44/Toy adapter mated to an 85 driveshaft.  



Jess put his ag slip on the shaft and Northern further clearanced the CV so that it shouldn't bind under flex, but I'll still be adding a limit strap from next to the pumpkin to the frame.  You can see it's nowhere near a 0 deg angle at the pinion.  Blackjack also ordered up progressive bumpstops which I'll place on top of the spring pads.  From looking at it under flex, they should still hit the frame just fine if placed there.



The rear are scrounged 4.25 blocks - probably marketed at 4" but measure the extra quarter.  I plan to have Alcans with an anti-wrap and Roger Brown shims out back before summer.  Rear shock mounts are stock with 12" Trailmaster SSVs, front are more off-the-shelf Jeep mounts with just 10" SSVs.  If I'm not liking the travel I'll look to replace them with f250 towers.

There you have it.

this wasn't a "farmed" versus "wild" issue, it was a "wild" versus "hatchery-wild" issue.  Hatchery fish are wild.  They're just born in hatcheries before getting tossed into a holding pen in whatever lake they'll call home; then they swim out to the ocean with all the other fish and swim back to that lake/watershed to breed, just like all the other wild fish.  My understanding is that farmed salmon spend their entire lives in captivity, except for the few that escape and spread disease to the wild fish.

What stock do the "hatchery-wild" fish come from?  Given the nature of Pacific salmon, I would say that they would have to be bred from captive stock.  Otherwise, where do the eggs come from?  Also, the reason that farmed fish have the diseases is not from being captive-bred fish, it is from being held in close proximity to each other.  Just like when people  are forced to live in extremely crowded and unsanitary conditions, the spread of diseases and parasites is common and frequent.  Hatchery fish are also subject to similar conditions.  Furthermore, the hatchery fish could be less adapted to survival in the wild.  How many predators are there in a hatchery pond?  How hard is it to find food when they are fed on a routine basis?  Is there any reason for a fish to "learn" or reinforce "instinctual" behaviors when predators are not present and when food just magically appears?  How many generations before the instincts are completely bred out of them and they become just like the goldfish in your fish tank (hypothetical question)?', 1, 0, 3461, 11, NULL, NULL, NULL), (50319, '79-1033840762', 1, 1, '24.237.54.106', 1078940106, 0, 'Oh HELL NO!

Having a shop in the Valley build stuff is not cost effective.

Chris, I would not go Irok. I think they are more of a rock tire than they are a mud tire. And the trails up here are mud. I presonally think they will suck. But, that is just my opinion. And to me the tread depth is bad shallow. I have seen a set in person. And was not impressed at all....

Ive been following a lot of write ups on the irok, and it appears that they are doing fairly well in a variety of conditions.
i was really interested in what guys around tellico and other east coast places had to say about them since their trail conditions are closer to what we have here. yeah they arent a bogger, but for those of us without 60s and 14 bolts they may be more forgiving on drivetrain components than the old boggerooo.

Or those of us the DD our rigs.  I don't think the Bogger will wear to well on a DD.

Go with a swamper then. You cannot take somewhere down in the lower 48 and even try to connect the wheeling types. Wheeling up here is just different. The ground is just mud. That is it. Very little rock. Shoot, when we drill in Anchorage, and even out here in the valley you get 30-40ft down and it is just clay. Nothing else. Anchorage is setting on Clay. Some spots as shallow at 10ft. I just would not trust a new tire like that up here. If you dont like them you have wasted your money.

Driveline building is by no means rocket science, but it does require a certain amount of patience and attention to detail.

 When you go to balance a driveline .003 runout is acceptable.

I think I can add to this -- I am in my senior year studying wildlife biology.


You needed to read that article more closely; this wasn't a "farmed" versus "wild" issue, it was a "wild" versus "hatchery-wild" issue.  Hatchery fish are wild.  They're just born in hatcheries before getting tossed into a holding pen in whatever lake they'll call home; then they swim out to the ocean with all the other fish and swim back to that lake/watershed to breed, just like all the other wild fish.  My understanding is that farmed salmon spend their entire lives in captivity, except for the few that escape and spread disease to the wild fish.

Either way, that has nothing to do with the Endangered Species Act (ESA) or this case.  Based on that press release, my read on this is that the agency is required to take into account the numbers of successful hatchery-born salmon (which can and do reproduce in natural streams) in deciding whether a species is endangered; they can't just look at the naturally-born salmon.

I was originally using the unloader port with my setup, but I had my colescing (SP?) filter after the check valve/presure switch setup and it would make a mess with the oil from the compressor, so I disconnected it.  For an engine driven compressor I dont think you really need one, and the line from the check valve to the compressor should bleed off on its own through the compressor.

Personal experience: If your desire for range time and plinking is as addictive as mine, then the only way to afford shotting on our salary is to reload. It may seem like a big investment upfront but when you crunch the numbers even over a few months you save ALOT of money. Plus its an excellent way to learn your firearms and accurize the hell out of them. It can become as addictive as shotting itself.  \':15:\'

Furthermore, I had to grind the tube welds down to get the plate to rest flat on the mounting surface....sad really.
On to the coil buckets....picked up a bunch of D35 brackets from Sevenslats in Fairbanks...nice cuts by the way.:) The buckets received a set of PC upper bumpstops mounted to the them with a large 3/16 grade 8 washer to make contact with the upper stop....which usually pushes of the bumpstop during compression and also serves as a retainer.
Birdman finished up the bracket and busket welding last night so all we have left is some brakeline routing.
Ryan and Dan sent out the parts to me yesterday and it will be regeared and spooled.
There will be a couple more pics coming Brentt.

Nice weapon Oddball.  You will not be sorry.  Good aftermarket support.  I leave my rifle stock on my mossy most of the time but if I know I am gonna be backpacking with it I will put a shorter fluted barrel on it and a fold down tactical stock.  even with the extended tube and full load of 000 and Sabot rounds it is pretty light.

Check out the Safari sling if you plan on packing it on your person.  Or do like me and get a Camel Back Hydration system and pack the heat across your back.

Mosseberg 500A.  Light, when composite equiped and you can dip them in the mud and they will fire every time.  That is my bear gun.  They are also cheap so if I have to through it at the bear I am not out much..lol.

Charlie put together a nice shotty gotta respect a tactical safety.  What is it Charlie 500A barrel, 870 action......and something else right?

Yep its an 870 Express action w/Mosberg barrel, parkerized mag tube, tactical safety, trigger work, and a rough coat finish...don`t want to blind the bears ya know! It`s a very good shooter. I`ve spent alot of time w/Benelli guns and have to say they don`t make them much finer in stock form. Now ODDBALL...let`s take that thing out and we can discuss some tactical uses as well as some diff ammo performance....nothing but 600 grains for me!

Then Greg smilied is tie rod going threw a mud hole that took about 20 mins. to fix... And we where off again.
Then hit a Rut going up a hill bounce in the air come down with wheels spinning. Threw out both OEM shims, bested both spring center pins, blew a ujoint cap in half, busted both ubolts on diff. Had to cut off the spring ubolts on recenter everything and put new center pins in. No blocks cause they where trashed.

I'll probably just take a BFH to the tailgate and maybe make it work again, and do some drawings tonight for a new rear bumper.

I would start with the tail light where the bed is torn up on the drivers side. It sounds like you had a loose harness and it rubbed though somewhere. If you don,t find it that way you can take a multimeter to each light and check each wire for continuity to ground, there should be one ground per bulb hook up. If you find more, then that is more than likely where your short is. These problems are sometimes easy to find and at other times become nightmares, good luck and keep us posted.

Edit: I though about it some more and if all the blinkers are working it is probably the parking lamp wires or with the dash lights out too, it may be up in the dash lighting. It is hard to tell with all that your truck has been through in the last year. I hope that I have helped a little.\n\n

If this fix doesn't work, I'll swap the axleshafts out for that hubless design on the newer Rangers and 1995+ Explorers.  Fuel mileage will go down, but with the transfercase disengeaged it won't be in four wheel drive.  It would be like driving a vehicle with the hubs locked constantly.  If manual hubs do become available, I can always swap the Ranger axleshafts back in.

Badco's 36 TSl and my Q78's mounted on the same Rockcrawler 8 inch rims.  Only way to tell the difference was the width.  the 36 TSl is about 1 inch wider (half a inch on each side).  AND the tread depth.  (Q is significantly deeper)

Height wise they looked the same to me.

Oh and I bet the Iroks are gonna change the way tires are made.  I took a lot longer look at the set here on base.  Very well constructed.  I bet they do better in the mudd than most will give them credit for.  Rounded shoulders and scooped lugs= Good Go Go Juice IMO.

yea i understand that but was wondering the mesurement was.  Swampers are generaly at least an inch off from there listed size. Doesn't matter much, I'll have the room (not much tub is left in that area), mostly just wondering.

Ultimately, the only thing that gives reliable power is a larger or more effecient engine. Got a 4 popper that isn't cutting it? Swap in a 6. Carb sucks at idle to 2500, time for fuel injection.

I too have a 98' Ranger, been having the same vacume hub disengagement issues for about 2 years or so...... basically the cold weather up here fawks up the vacume pressue to the hubs, notice the vacume line running to the steering knuckle, there is a vacume solonoid that pushes vacume through that line causes the axle shafts to push out locking the hubs in 4x4, hit the switch to 2wd and the axle shafts push out again to unlock the hubs... Well that whole system is a big giant POS. The vacume always fails, don't bother trouble shooting it, the solonid is just a stupid design and fails, it's a ghost problem and a pain in the ass to track. Like CountryBoy said, I just pushed the hubs into a locked position and had no problems, put them on and whalla 4x4, when I didn't need 4 wheel drive like in the summer on the road I just removed the hubs. Easy fix.

As for Warn not making a manual hub conversion for the 98' and new Rangers....... They are NEVER going to. I contacted Warn when I 1st started having this issue. Turns out Warn is sub contracted in the manufacturing of these POS vacume hubs. They know they suck and have informed Ford of the issue. Basically it is not cost effective for either company to change the desgin, although not for lack of trying on Warn's part. Similar deal with teh vacume issues on the newer Chevy trucks and their failure at cold temps.

If you guys need any other info or have question drop me a PM and I'll be happy to help.

My Warn HS9500i shit the bed on the forst day out, third or fourth pull.  Best guess is too much muck got inside.  It just quit.  The solenoids were working fine, no motor engagement.  Warn sent me some shims to shim back the motor endcap; they apparantly already knew of a rather common problem on my winch.  I couldn't stop dicking with it while waiting for the shims and it started working again.  when the shim showed up I decided to install them anyway.  Here's what I found in the endcap:


My guess is the mud dried enough over the period of a few days, so whatever it was shorting out when wet was not an issue once it dried enough.  Form my experience with warn the 8274 I used at work are all but bombproof, but I'm sorely disappionted with the lack of protection form the elements on the HS9500i.  I have since RTV'd the motor endcap to the housing to keep muck form getting in there.  There are drain holes where the motor meets the drum housing I left open.  Soon I am going to pot the integrated solenoid housing with reenterable encapsulent to keep moisture out of there as well.

If you buy a warn, buy one of the new high dollar sealed units, or spend some time sealing it up before you hit the muck.

The reason I will stay with the 8274! Not as compact as the others but the best out for years to come.

I am saving it for a special build present.  Little Bro gets out of the Army in 6 months.  He was in love with the old FJ and will get this one with a few mods.....Why may you ask?  Well the fact that he spent a year in Afganistan and is the only person other than the wife to occupy both Family and Friend catagories in my hierarchy.....

Blackjack is right about the lack of caster on that axle though, and generally extending shackles beyond 3/8 or 1/2 over stock is a bad idea.  This is amplified on the Scout axle which has no caster from the factory.  If you're planning on doing anything much more than a spring lift, I'd suggest rotating the yokes/knuckles.

I would do a little more than that, cause that is what I did the first time.  When you first use it, it will slip on the drum and pull the little crimped end off.  Not really a big deal, what I did was tie the line to the drum using a constrictor knott.  I also thought about lining the drum with grip tape, but I never had issues after I tied it on.\n\n

If you air down, and therefor never sink to the axle or frame.........
Isn't that the point? Not airing down leads to that "sinking feeling"..........
IMHO, anyway.

More to the post - isn't airing down done to keep from sinking in soft terrain?

But evertime I get burried, its a hole from nowhere that gets me when I'm not expecting it.  Usually when I'm on a nice backwoods trail and the ground goes soft under me without warning.  Plus having an onboard air would make it easier.

I drive a 2000 TJ Sport.  Haven't had it long so I am just starting to build it.  Big plans...little money.  Never been "recreational wheeling" but I have a fair amount of experience driving off road (hunting, fishing, sightseeing, research, etc).  Looking forward to meeting you and learning from you.  I will just monitor the boards for now.  I'm a biggin' -- 275 lbs.

I'm not really seeing how it works or what exactly it does, but I think it just prevents the hub from being disengaged.  Doing this would make the four wheel drive engage at just the transfercase, the hubs would be constantly locked.  This is actually the same way that 2001 and newer Rangers are set up.

Black pipe is fine for bending if you get the right stuff. I wont buy anything but A53E, but that happens to be the most common, and readily available from Alaska Steel and even home depot. It bends great, and is approximately the same strength as most common grades of HREW tubing.

Most Pipe is sized by its NOMINAL Internal Diameter. For all sizes that you would ever want to use on a 4x4 this is the case. SO... all commonly available 1.5" pipe has an OD of 1.9", regardless of its schedule. All the schedule (wall thickness) does is reduce its Internal Diameter.

For all the common pipe sizes, sch 80 has an internal diameter closest to its Nominal diameter. IE 1.5" sch 80 has an I.D. of approximately 1.5", but 1.5" sch 40 has and I.D. of something like 1.6"

Isn't the new 9500 supposed to be faster then the 8274? I read that somewhere...

Check the Warn website for the specs. It all depends on load. The only time the 9500 used to beat the 8274-50 was under max load, which it when I usually don't want lightning speed, just constant pulling power. Check the no-load and low line speed ratings (like when you're re-spooling) and you'll see the difference. The 8274 is just plain faster in most common winching sceneros.

The Native culture is the one culture I have sympathy for.

Not to turn this into a big debate or anything but the whiteman has fucked the native pretty hard.  Just within the last 50-75 years we brought thousands of years of problems to the Native culture.

Alcholol, Drugs, Money, Employment, Capitolism, Nonsubsistence Work and a slew of other things that the whiteman has had thousands of years to develope coping mechanisms for were all forced on the Native Populations in a matter a years.

I grew up smack dab bordered by two Native Reservations in Idaho.  My wife is Cherokee.  In my scout platoon I was the only person to be able to speak and write english in any real capacity.  So my opinion is to cut them some slack and give them time to adjust to what is now a new reality for them.

In my experience all the sensors that the companies use end up being off-the-shelf parts that they run with their particular ECU.  What you're willing to do with tuning is certainly an issue, but it's a personal choice.  You'll just have to examine each kit individually and decide what is right for you.  They run the board from complete interactive software packages, to analog knobs on a box, to burn-your-own-chip kits, to we-burn-the-chip-for-you-but-only-three-times kits, etc.  What you define as "limp home" mode can mean different things to different manufacterers.  Ultimately the only thing the ECU needs to do to make the engine run is just dump in some fuel; as long as your ECU is functioning and your sensor aren't too f'd up, you're good-to-go, but if your ECU craps out there's nothing you can do.  I haven't found any "special tools" needed for fuel injection (at least, not yet, but I haven't tried to rebulid an injector or anything).

I'm running a Holley Pro-Jection 4Di which I purchased new from Summit in 1999.  It fit my needs then and has the flexability to continue meeting my needs now.  I'm also running a DUI, which I had Performance Distributors customize so that I can run my timing advance through my ECU.  This isn't something you'd need to do; the EFI can be run totally independantly from the ignition (depending on the system you choose you can upgrade the ignition like I did).  I ran a stock Motorcraft ignition with my Holley kit for two years before going with the DUI.

Dave played for awhile on the rocks, while I video taped him. And them we got on them with the Black Jeep. By then, we all decided that it was best to get out of there.

I thought that trail was off limits for a little while? Or is just part of it off limits? I thought we where working with the local folks on this?

The Sutton Trail Committee's biggest concern was with a particular stretch of trail near the top.  I assume that is the portion that has been signed off now.  But are also concerned with the trail as a whole.

Basically their plan at this time is that two trails are designated, one for hikers and one for atvs & jeeps.  I guess there is already an old trail route and a new one.  But the section of trail at the top will remained closed to motorized use.  And it sounds to me from a number of people who are familiar with the trail that its hard to argue that portion of the trail (tundra) could withstand continued motorized traffic.  Unfortunately they have not completed the map of the area with their proposal yet, so its hard to visualize or explain what's going on.  But the map was a high priority.

I do not know the latest status of the map/plan since to my knowledge no one made it out to the meeting last week.

In general, AK Ex decided to stay off the trail until we felt there was a good resolution to the situation, mostly out of courtesy for the committee.', 1, 0, 374, 10, NULL, NULL, NULL), (5292, '110-1031620020', 1, 1, '24.237.113.130', 1055780485, 0, 'I'm starting to get the impression that my 33s aren't all that big anymore  \':5:\' \':11:\'.....

To fit anything bigger than a 33, it would be pretty expensive and/or time consuming. I would need to run at least 7" to get 35s to fit, and I can't see that happening with short arms. I guess I could always bust out the trusty sawzall though.  Who needs fenders?? \':11:\'

what he said sled, thats all you need.  learn to get through the trails with that s-10 you have, then the mods latter will anly make it easier, and allow you to get further back.  Really the first thing you need to look at getting is a winch.

You already have limit-slip (posi) right?

I often see different lines that seem much less traveled because they are seemingly more difficult, and think that is the real trail. Often the bypass seems to be more commonly traveled, and therefore looks to be the main trail.

Brook,
I total agree with you. These bypasses have been used so much that they look like the trail now. There are sections of Ruby that have degraded so much in just the last year. At one section where we blocked off all of the bypasses we even cut the hill down on the original trail a little bit to make it a little more appealing to go that way (since it was a 90 degree bank) and to help build it back up, but they still refused to go that way. I think the signs will help with those that do have some common sense, but as for the rest, we know that only a lesson of closed trail signs will show them the light.\n\n

I like the idea of the posts.  Have a ready welder (beings how the welds don't have to be perfect, I should be able to handle it.)

Winched several large trees across all of the bypasses. Went on to the end of the trail. Nice uneventful but beautiful ride. Saw several 4 wheelers along the way. On our return trip we found all of the trees we had put out had been removed by these 4 wheelers that we had passed. We decide we are going to need some more brains and brawn to figure out how to get these damn people to stop making new paths every where and we headed home.

I think that trying some signs would be nice.  Or how about some 2x2 Steel Tubing?  Cut it into 10 foot leagths and 5 foot leangths.....haul in a post hole digger and some bags of dry concrete.  If we spread that over say 10 rigs we could easily do that.  Lets get this going.

Brook-  How about Alaska Offroad volunteering the concrete?  (or money for) and looking for some of those "grants/donations"

Xploder, Phildo, Bob-  How about LFW4 get together and get some quality vinyl stickers that are about 8x11 with a description of what this is all about.

Oneton- can you gather up some steel tube (round or square but big enough that it will not get hammered real easy)  Doesn't need to be more than 1/4 I would imagine.

AKX-  How about we kick around the idea of providing the majority of the workforce and the plate steel to stick the stickers to?  Maybe help oneton's crew out with gathering steel?  How about we gather all the boulders?  Little Giant, will you post a interest query with your 4wheeler contacts?

I personally will install each and every one of those that we gather material for.  As long as someone gives me a ride out there.

Would be nice if someone with a Zena Welder (cough Henry cough) and a readywelder (cough Badco cough Oddball cough) would volunteer to help weld that shit together out on the trail.

I agree, that ledge is really bad and soft. The work that we did to it pretty much packed down after only one pass through it.

Your right the signs are gonna get shot up and destroyed.  I am in no way trying to kid myself or others that they are not.  Sledneck is donating the steel plate for the signs (thanks).  And if your club puts together some vinyl stickers we can hand them out to both AKX and LF4W allowing us to replace the stickers as they are destroyed.  For the ATV/Fullsize designation we can just as easy use the 4" letters your talking about.  ATV with a arrow and JEEP with a arrow would work nicely.

Brook- Do what you can.  Kenai is a long way away, but I know you care.  I don't know if the kenai is suffering like we are but your involvement here will prepare you for it if and when it does.  Thanks man.

Philldo-  You are the official photographer/ photo collector for the project.  Do what you can to aquire/take and organize recent photo's of Ruby.

I dont know really, just trying to brain storm some ideas. I dont think signs at each individual hole would last too well, but one at the trail head might.

In the caribou hills there are some small steel reflective signs that the Caribou Hills Cabin Hoppers have posted at trail intersections, to direct traffic. They are small enough that they are prolly fairly cheap, and easy to replace if they were damaged. I wonder if something like this could be placed around the sutton trails to help the people that "Want" to do the right thing. There is no doubt that there will always be people that will leave the trail no matter what you do, but to use myself as an example, some dont just plain dont know. I often see different lines that seem much less traveled because they are seemingly more difficult, and think that is the real trail. Often the bypass seems to be more commonly traveled, and therefore looks to be the main trail.

Glad to help any where I can. Red01TJ was also along doing alot of the work. I will gladley give you a ride up there anytime you wanted to go. There is very little glass left, pieces are so small you can't pick them up.

I think the steel posts are an excellent idea. That is probably the only thing that would work.

I would like to help in any way that I can. Any thing you need Brentt, just give me a call and I will try to help (727-0182 anytime).

Talked to some 4 wheelers out on the trail that had ran Eska last week. Said the trail was really muddy and nasty. I am sure we can do the same for Eska that we intend to do for Ruby and would make that community really happy.

We DO dig deeper ruts and chew up the trail to a greater degree than they do. The size and weight of our rigs ensures that. They will continue to get upset when the ruts are too deep or the mud is to churned up... or if they have to get their feet wet. They will blame us, and to some degree they will be right. Simply blocking off the bypasses and telling them to stay on the trail will not do the trick. We need to figure out a way for all parties to be able to use the trail without interfering with the other group's enjoyment.

That ledge was too steep for me to climb last time I was there, and even with the trail work (thanks guys!), I'm pretty sure it will deteriorate to that level or worse again over time. The climbs are too steep for your average rider on a short ATV, so they look for the flat path- through the marshy land. Without work to stabilize the paths through the marsh, they not only cause damage to themselves but cause damage to the main trail. I would bet if there was a fairly level and dry path through there for ATVs (and ATVs only), there wouldn't be any more bypasses. The real question is- who's going to build it? They've shown no interest in doing so, so I guess it's up to us.

As for signs, they would have to be really heavy and really thick to avoid getting stolen or destroyed, and they would still get shot up. Where would they be placed to maximize their impact, yet not detract from the scenery of the trail? Who is the target audience? How many signs are we talking about? How effective do we expect them to be in keeping people on the trails? There's a lot of questions that need to be answered before we start posting. Perhaps standard 4" adhesive letters would be more appropriate than a picture, since they can be replaced far easier when they get shot up.

I might run up there sometime this week and get a better idea of what is needed. I'd rather not cut a completely new trail through there, but it may be what is required. We'll have to see.

First off, I couldn't care less what the hell people think about me or what I do.  If I am "accepted" so be it, but I won't kiss anyone's ass.  Of course I don't try to directly insult anyone.

To be honest, I think it's just an ego thing.  People naturally want to have the biggest, or best, or be the best.  SO, when someone has a misfortune or something less than yours, it's easy to point and pick.  {This comment is not directed to anyone in specific on this board in anyway shape or form so don't be insulted, it's just a generalization which IMO is true.}

I understand the clique thing.  It only makes sense to hang out with people that are simular to you.  Example:  would Curtis want to go on a hard core run with me?  No, of course not, because he would have to help me out the whole time.  Just an experience thing.

I don't worry about the small shit.  No one got hurt and we all had fun.  When Nick slid into the front of my ZJ, I was kind or pissed at myself for not backing up some.  Shit happens, that's a fact of life boys.  Guess what?  We learn from our mistakes.  If a more experienced off roader was out with us would it have prevented the "misfortunes"??  I don't think so.

Frosy, I'm guessing your kidding about selling those parts.  If anyone needs any inexpensive parts that I have while we are on the trail, I will happily donate them.  Just remember to be ready to return the favor when I need something.\n\n

Oh and apparently you should have been going slower up that hill.  The proof is in the pudding.  Ofcoarse if I had been the tow rig I woulda pulled him all the way to the highway on his side at 65 mph, while destroying any vestige of a usable parts on both rigs.

The last pics actually happened first. (with Nick's XJ and my ZJ)  After 3 tries on the main hill (after the 3 mud holes) I couldn't make it (even though the Bronco II someone made it first time...) so Nick planed on pulling me.  Instead, he ended up sliding into the front of the ZJ.  No real damage, just the hitch busted up the plastic a bit.  Looks like me and JB Weld will be taking care of that.  Probably get a new one AFTER I get an ARB bumper.

That's Keith's TJ on it's side.  That would be the hill that we couldn't make up last time.  Instead, all but Keith went around (like Curtis tried to do).  I just get to the top and I'm getting out of my Jeep and I hear "He's trying the hill" (pic shows the hill).  By the time I get there, the TJ is sliding backward, and the driver's side rear tire goes up a 2-3 foot ledge at the base of the hill, then the front slides around at the same time.  Enough to flop right on the pass. side.  If you look at the second pic, it explains it.
No one was hurt and the Jeep is alright.  The only real damage is the snorkel and windshield frame.  The windshield is cracked a few more places, but it needed to be replaced before anyway.
The flex shot is after the roll.  You can see the snorkel is broke is quite a few pieces.  May just have to bust out the JB Weld again. \':19:\'

Nick-  Chill out dude.  Badco used the Newbie term in the correct way man.  He didn't say shit about you.  Keith is New, Chaz is New, Nate 3 and 3/16th is new, your not new but you were new to that group,

Who said anything about you not wheeling or anyone being part of a "click".  Sure there are guys that hang out more than others, but they are not exclusive or elite.  I for one don't get along with everyone I know and neither do you.  Just cause you don't feel part of the "click" doesn't mean shit to me or to anyone else.  

I like you and enjoy shooting the shit with you, but you know as well as I do that you have burned some personal bridges and that is just something you gotta deal with bub.  I have done the same, it happens.

I guess the group comradery doesn't show when I get 20-30 people wish me well and ask how they can help me cause of my busted up knee.  You were one of those people, for that I thank you.  Don't go trying to dig into anyone just cause they called a duck a duck.

Remember the rescue at knik at the end of jan...  A bronco was getting pulled out and it got laid on its side when it wasnt even running. Trying to go to fast in the tight stuff because it was late. Now when that got posted no one said anything negative about that. But now that someone slid backwards and flopped it on the side smart ass remarks are made. Shows us all who thinks there shit doesn't stink. Thats my .02....

Since I knew nothing of a recovery attempt, my boss called Keith (we all work at the same place) and we got all the supplies and headed down the road.  Got just a few miles before the Old Glen where Jason called and said he was home, so we turned around.

Here we go!  Its hard to find help on Superbowl Sunday.  Finally Nate volunteered to help so with both our cherokees and Sage in his dakota we headed off.  We got to the trailhead and I waited at the parking lot for Nate while Sage went ahead to find Idaho Dan. He was supposed to be "near where you come out of the woods on the left." well hell, he was shootin so we figured he'd be by the dunes broken through the ice where everyone gets stuck. Wrong.  Nate showed up and we headed down to the dunes. No sight of Dan or Sage.  We headed down the trail towards the glacier.  Sage called and said he had found Dan and was several miles from the dunes. Well shoot, we just ran Knik on Saturday so where did he break through?  Dan and his friend had hiked back to the main trail and made a fire and waited for us. SMART THINKING! STAY PUT AND BUILD A FIRE UNTIL HELP ARRIVES!  Dan rode with sage while Nate and I took the lead. Of course the dakota didnt handle the bumps to well and Sage couldnt keep up, but we figured itd be easy to spot an early bronco stuck in the ice.  We got to friday creek and saw sage flash his lights and turn a hard right off the trail.  Ohh Ohh, no good, the river is that way!  We followed him over some questionable places until we came across the bronco buried in the ice half way up the doors.  Nate and I wondered if we would need more help.  It was stuck in a small but deep creek that had banks on either side.  The ice was open on one side so Nate drove into it figuring we could get a straight pull through the water to the bronco.  Then Nate sunk in the silt. Oops, bad idea, so I winched him out.  The boys started choppin all the ice around the bronco so that we could try to pull it out of the ice backwards. We tried pulling but couldnt get the tires back up over the ice. We ended up finding some big logs to use as ramps and got the back end out of the ice, but couldnt get the front out. Nates winch was getting hot, so we called for help and built a big old fire to dry everyone out.  The only other person I could reach was curtis. He showed up about an hour later, and with him and I pulling on the rear axle, Sage anchoired to me and Nate anchoring Curtis, and three guys using the big logs as giant levers, we got the bronco out of the ice and pulled it back to shore.  The thing wouldnt start-no fuel. We played with it for a bit and decided to tow it back to the trail head.  I hooked up to the early bronco and began the tow back to the trail head.  All was well as we made decent time back to the dunes. Once we got into the wood we had a little oops. I was towing the guy through a tight little section of the trail when he lost control, drove up a bank on the side of the trail and rolled the bronco onto its side.  I got out and hopped up onto the bronc to see if Dan was ok. Old boy wasnt wearing his seatbelt so he was laying in a crumpled pile on the passenger side of the bronco. We got him out, took some photos, and got the rig back on its wheels. Dan was a bit messed up but we continued on. about a 1/4 mile later I heard a horrible metal sound coming from behind me and Dan flashed his lights.  His front coil spring had fallen out.   We got it back in with a little help from a highlift and my vise.  Got him to the trailhead and tried to start the rig. No luck, ice in the carb and fuel lines.  We called Dean (imnaked) and he was generous enough to offer his shop which was right up the road. Nate headed home, while the rest of us headed to Deans, with sage towing the bronco.. Got to Deans around 11pm and pushed the bronco into the garage to be worked on.  I left about 1130pm and the boys were pulling ice out of the carberator.  When I got home I called curtis and he said that they had got it running and were at the tesoro in Palmer on the way home.  Everyone made out of the knik "safe" but these guys were LUCKY!  It was their first time to knik and they were driving in no mans land.  They're lucky they didnt find the main channel, although it was close!  The moral of the story is never go wheeling by yourself, especially if it is in an unfamiliar area! Dan didnt have a cellphone or cb or anything. He borrowed a phone from a snowmobiler to call Sage.  He could have easily broken through the ice on the river and gone under and NO ONE  would have known where he was.  Be safe and think fellow wheelers!  Pictures to be posted soon and thanks to all that helped, especially Dean at 11pm on a Sunday night.  Thanks!!!!!--------frosty', 1, 0, 378, 10, NULL, NULL, NULL), (5400, '98-1031626171', 1, 1, '24.237.149.30', 1043739554, 0, 'WOW!', 1, 0, 378, 10, NULL, NULL, NULL), (5401, '66-1064986549', 1, 1, '209.112.210.1', 1065415959, 0, 'Hey guys, I had a good time at Ruby!.  That night after you guys left Mike in the Gray scout got hella stuck and It took about an hour to get him out.  It was dark and he was in a BAD spot up past the lake.  It was cool cause the Super Scout(yeah right) yanked him clear, but I got stuck  myself for about 10 minutes doing it.  He bent his rear bumper up and his front bumper down and caved his driver side fender in a little bit.  Anyway, cool run, thanks for the good times.', 1, 0, 379, 10, NULL, NULL, NULL), (5402, '108-1058927339', 1, 1, '131.37.206.6', 1065498153, 0, 'Who is putting on your Lift Viper?  Know one got muddier then me and Mudrat in the Yota though.  If you guys are planning to go out again let me know and I will bring my truck this time.

Im gonna attempt to do it myself. If anyone is willing to help it would be greatfully appreciated.

Your rigs a YJ, right?  If so, putting in leaf spring lifts is easy, but time consuming.  Just do a SOA, wish I did.  My rig rides like a tank! \':38:\'

Mine also rides like crap, but you get use to it.

If you have driveline vibration after the Sye installation just shim the rear axle a little bit.

I had no vibs when I had the 1" tfc drop, reg driveshaft and the 4" spring lift in my YJ, but when I raised the tfc back up and installed the sye I had bad vibs from the driveshaft.

A little shimming did the trick, this all will be coming out shortly though because I will be installing some D44's out of a waggy and at this time I will fix the pinon angle.', 1, 0, 379, 10, NULL, NULL, NULL), (5427, '79-1051438244', 1, 1, '66.58.220.67', 1065600079, 0, '

The older guy at the counter has a good way of annoying the crap outta me though.

The old man at the counter thinks to himself, "This kid annoys the crap out of me."

Viper- What are doing for your rear driveshaft? With 4" it will be way too short. Best method is a tailshaft conversion and a double cardan joint driveshaft.
