well for those of us in anchorage, I saw my first snow today. even if it was only a few flakes. BUT that itch still lingers to get out and see what I can not break. plus get a feeling for what the new tires are gonna do. any ideas?

Hey wasup. Have you checked the alaska4x4network.com They are planning a trip out to the glacier next weekend. I think I am going to tag along out there.

Edit: I just saw your Bronco on base today near the shopette. I was driving the blue one.

You Better Tag Alone Slim, Or I will kick your ass :) hehe.. Ya I'm going Alone too. One last chance to get out and wheel. I'll be in my Street Queen/Winter wheeler though.

Once the snow flys I'll be pullin out the snow machines! And starting to work on the Busted 85.

Yea I should be there. Just got a couple things left before I can play. I still have to fix the rear locker. But I will go even if it isint working. So you arent gonna take the beast out there huh?

'bout time someone replied to my stupid post. Edit: I suck.

but anyways. is that this weekend like the 22nd? if so god damn it I already have plans. but I really need to trim up my fenders before I totally jack them or my tires up.

No it is the weekend of the 29th. I think a whole bunch of people will be going on this. Maybe we could break away from the rest of the group and do just a Bronco run. Hey I meant to ask. Are you the guy who broke the radius arm at the Hobby Shop? I was talking with sombody there a few months back. They broke their radius arm so they bought a new lift kit. I was just wondering if you were that same person. Your Bronco kinda looks like his did. I cant remember the exact color of it. Anyway nice Bronco. Good choice for tires. I am really happy with mine.

Trip is the 29th.. I thought it was this weekend as well. So I made plans to go and a couple other thiungs.. DAMN IT!!!!

Hope to see you guys there. Will be nice to wheel with a Fullsize bronco again.

Slim - My beasty is broken and I havn't been motivated enough to start working on it yet.

Well you still planning on going this weekend? I will go somewhere. Let me know if you need some help working on your beasty. I will gladly come help.

Let me make some calls, See if I can get a couple freinds to go out this weekend. They're planning on running next weekend though.

I'll give you a ring, when I start workin on it. If I don't go anywhere this weekend. I will probably go clean up the garage so I can actually get to the truck again :)

So are you guys going this weekend? I would like to run it with both of yall. If not I will probably go with the jeeps that are out there.

yo, so I kinda jacked up my computer and haven't been able to get on here lately. did you all go last week? or thinking about going tomorow? i proboboly shouldn't go do to fender issues. but I'd be willing to spend a few hours out there. still interested?

Yep I'll be there. I'm trying to get into a doctor to get my throat checked out right now.. It's almost swallen Shut!!! Damn it this sucks! Depending on what he says it may change my plans though. I guess the meeting time is 8:30 at holiday Gas station in Maldoon. Look for the Pretty Maroon and Tan Bronco :)

Thats where I will be. I will have the piece of shit blue one.

wow, that's incredibly early, good thing I have no life at all and will probobly be up by 7. ssooooooooooooo, hopefully I'll meet you all there

Well went to the doc and he said I got Mono(sp) WTF is up with that! Oh well he says that it can't be spread through the air. So everyone else is ok.. I'm assuming noone will get sick since he said it was ok for me to go to work. He even gave me some Steroids(I hope I don't get pickd for a random drug test).

Anyways. I will be meeting everyone out and the parking lot at Knik. If we pass you guys at the gas station I'll stop in. But I plan to meet a couple buddies at 9-9:30 out there. I'm not sure what group you guys plan to run with as they are trying to split the groups up into more 2 or more groups. I guess 30 trucks is way to much for a river bed that is over a mile wide :)

My group will have atleast a Fullsize Jimmy on 36 TSLs, 1 ton LandCruiser on 38 TSLs, and my lifted Bronco on 35 BFGs This is the normal group I've run with this sumer. Very good group of guys to run with. Anyways. Would be great if you all ran with us. Will be nice to follow some fullsize Broncos for a change :)

See ya tere guys.

I dont care what group Im in But I would like to go with the other fullsize rigs.

yeah, so my drinking habit got a little out of hand last night. I didn't crash till 6am. damn I suck. I sure hope you all made it out and had a good time. details?

Yea it was alright. I broke my shit out at the glacier. The shim blocks under the axle broke and then the axle twisted up causing my yoke to grenade itself. I had to drive all the way back in front wheel drive. That really sucks. Oh well before that I was having a blast.

damn.......that sucks. I'm pretty sure I still have one of my old shims. let me know if you need it and I'll see if I can't find it.

Man what a kick ass trip that was.. Man I havn't had that much fun in a long time.. Me and Mike(Guy with the Jimmy) Decided to race back to the beaver ponds. normal 90 Min. Or so trip we did in about 30 mins. We pushed our trucks hard almost coming in contact a couple times. And I almost went end over end once :) When I almost almost missed about a 4' drop off at 40.

Sorry I ditched ya When ya spit the blocks Slim, But there where more then enough people to help out. And my girlfreind would have cut off my favorite orgin if I crawled under your Bronco to wrench. Glad to hear you got out ok, with no major issues.

If you need some shim blocks I think I have a spare set you can use. I will check to see if I still have the ones I spit out. They just need the spring pin drilled out. It busted inside the block.

Will post pictures this afternoon.

Its cool I am going to get some steel blocks that shouldnt break. I had a blast screwing around on the hills out there. That is just a shitty place to break. Being 20 miles from the highway. But I was prepared to stay out there with it. I would of had my buddy running and getting me parts with his quad. Oh well it is better to have that happen instead of shitting a t-case. At least I still had front wheel drive. I couldnt get back over the hills without winching up them. The whole way back I was worried that I would break somthing stupid in the front end and be royally screwed.
