Awwww... But you NEED this!,


Phoning emortal tomorrow to see where they are at...

I 'THINK' I can do the 12th or the 26th.......  And I'm not sure about the 12th.
 
I asked Donovan to put a new (re-built) t-case in and change out an injector for me because I just don't have time.  I'm building a new race car and that's taking all my time right now.  I should have my truck back by the middle of next week.  I need to get out with the truck a few times to make sure everything is OK before I head down to Moab in September.
 
You can predict when someone will break something off road because they'll start a sentence with 'I just put in a re-built.....'  Damn sure that's the part that fails.

I'll make sure I stay open as possible... I'll have to ride Bitch (Nickky Baby!!!!!????) as the jeep won't be ready - parts are coming up from the states and emortal wants to do it right, and I don't think a stock Sahara would be a good idea out there....
 
Saw a nice H-1 on Kijiji but don't have the $$ as buying the wife another new Vehicle on Saturday as we're finding the Rav4 a little small with the kids so switching out to a Highlander Limited...

Sweet, what kind of bike are you getting Greg?
 
Ok, so maybe the 29th works best then? Any ideas on where or what we should do, I wouldn't mind hitting the winter trails if they are still open.
 
What are you having done to your new Heep Dave? Is it a standard or a mush-o-matic?
 
You should get her a 4-Runner... I've really taken a liking to the new ones... plus after you get it, you can do this to it:

 
Doesn't that look awesome!

In December I bought a Moto Guzzi V7 Racer for myself and about a month ago I bought a CBR250R for my wife and God daughter (and me!) to ride. I need to pick up the CBR on the 19th.

[humybby]

BTW, I wouldn't buy anything at Rocky Mountain Motorsports. That place is a shit show. I went twice to buy the CBR there - and walked out twice. So I bought the bike in RedDeer at Turple Bros.


Honda realty messed up with those idiots. Unfortunately they're the only dealer in the city.

26th it is!

[humybby]

DAMN!!!! Well sort of damn.


I have a track day on the 26th at Castrol in Edmonton. I simply missed it on my schedule.


Jeez, I'm the guy that rented the track - I shouldn't have missed it.


Sorry guys, but I'm out on the 26th.

Lol - all the stuff to make it off road worthy.. Basic lift as clearance already is pretty good, front axle supports, new front and rear bumpers with proper recovery points, winch installed finally! With new shoes.

Think I will stick with the cooper stt's as they did awesome on the deuce, was going to go with an aggressive AT but why mess with proven results... Diffs will be done on next mod run with front and rear tru-tracs... Bill is already pretty high with the above...


We are actually looking at the 4Runners at the moment... Salesman didn't reserve the black highlander we were looking at so when we went there to pick it up.. (Or so we thought...) it was already sold.... But now I need more $$$ for the 4 runner as I don't want a loan which takes away front the mod budget.... Vicious circle! Plus we need the 7 passenger one so that leaves us with the limited model so we have all the bells and whistles we want. Plus the 2014 is now full time AWD which I love the idea of, although I like the look of the trail model better... But will be the wife's primarily....


The engine sucks royally though.... No power!! Can live with it I guess...


So when are we going to do this??
