Hmm, well what should I build for this years trip. First year was the Wranglers maiden voyage, last year I was tightening bolts on the trailer as we were loading it... I have several things planned for the Wrangler that should get done before the trip. But I have this POS Eagle sitting in my driveway... I have a D30 front axle with 4.10 gears already, a nearly new set of 33x12.50 goodyear mt/r's on black spoke wheels, a selection of coil springs available, tools, mad skills, access to a ford 8.8 with disk brakes and 4.10 gears... :what:

No better not.

Lots of "ifs" for the project to happen this summer.

If I get a job, if its in the area, if I have a place to do it, if, if, if...

You could just skip the fabrication and assist with "building" the route ;)

Should I still bring my surf board?


Not sure, I just checked the surf report and it said "ice". :D

We'll be spending time close to the big lake, where waves are known to roll. And plus, it just looks cool to have a surf-board on top of the H3. :)


the H3 just looks better with a board on the roof.

X2. That is something you don't see too often in this region!

PM sent. Woot! :clap:

Now I have to figure out if we will be getting a Camping Labs RTT or just a new Eureka (I get a nice fat discount on them).


I thought the RTT was already delivered?
