Here is a side shot ofter being put back together and lowered to the ground for the first time in 2 days. Then the big guns came out for a little flexing of the new muscle. Then we measured to make sure the OME N85 shocks were long enough and sure enough they were not. For those of you...

Next up was some test fitting. After 3 attempts of tacking them into place, mounting and settling springs to check for proper shackle angles, they were welded into place. Then some stiffening supports were added since in order to align them properly they had to stick out 1/4 inch outboard...

Ok so I finally was able to get started on the rear suspension. This part of the suspension took as long as I thought it would, so it was done over 2 days. First we removed the rear bumper, suspension, brake line, drive shaft, BPV assembly and gas tank. Then put it up in the air. Since my...

Ok guys I just got the OME rear done. I The OME shocks (N85) are way to short. I measured them up at full stuff and need shock with a throw at 28" extended and 17" compressed in order to get my full flex which I want. After all I paid for the flex so I should get it right LOL! So now what...

At this time I'm in as well. I will have a better handle on my attnedence in Sept when I get back from Idaho. I am leading a week long kayak trip in North Florida the first week of Oct but that shouldn't be a problem since it's actually a work trip.

Well you really have 6 days since 4 will be driving out and back. I would pick one state and maximise time. You cant realy go wrong with colorado, new mexico, arizona, utah. May is a bit early for high elevation especially if your travelling alone cause of the snow. Personally that time of...

I've been using a rhino series GPS mounted to the dash with a ram mount. Other then the fact I have to stop to study the map I like the garmin. I don't see any trips to baja in the next few years so that will be a non issue to me

So maybe it's me but I clicked on the site and found 0 info on where you are going. I.E. states, events dates etc. I am planning a run to Idaho and leaving Fl on 8/2 if you are departing about that time maybe we can caravan for a bit? Probably atleast to St Louis or even Denver.

Man sounds like an awesome trip guys!

SWEET!:clapsmile

wow that's quick! Hell it took 8 months to get my beards seat for crying out loud and there is a hell of alot more fab in a trailer!

What was the turn around time on your trailer?

Well I'll tell ya I drove up to tennesee this weekend. It was a last minute trip we threw togehter on wednesday and left thursday morning LOL! Townsend is just outside of Knoxville and that is a 12 hour drive for me! I'm guessing places like virginia will be pushing 18 hours. Lets count those...

I love my panasonic. They have made huge strides in video at panasonic. really great stuff. I have a ton of video I have shot with it and the clarity of audio and video is superb.

Mainly screen size. I hate the small screen issue and to go biger in Garmin was gonna be about 3X the price. Each unit has ups and downs but after researching I think that feature wise it is a split. The screen is my major issue. I hate having to stop to read the screen. Besides for the $ it is...

Ok so I talked to my buddy Mike who owns the local 4x4 shop and has the defender witht he unit in it. He is ordering me one should be here next week. $460.00. I did an internet search and that price was right in line. One thing I know about any gps stuff is the margins are like 6% unless your...

Thanks. I think this is the route I'm going. I have found a few online for just abit under $500. I was thinking about the map create software as well. I have been using a rhino 120 unit for 2 years now mounted to the dash with a ram mount. It works but I can not read the screen while under way...

Ok so my buddy Mike lockey who has the campa distributor ship for the S.E. he might loan me a unit for the Idaho trip. My only concern is that I will be dragging a 2000lb trailer with my 4 banger. I just do not know. What do you all think. I mean this thing is sweet. tent with custom extrension...

Anyone running the lowrance set ups. I frined of mine installed a baja 480c unit in his defender and likes it but I havent had a chance to see it yet. I am getting ready to do something because the trip is only a few weeks away and I want mapping. I was going to do a laptop but there is no way...

Well I run river trips through a preserve. My persective is that mother nature needs a little help here and there. My company is the only organisation private or government that keeps up the water way portion of the preserve. We clean all trash and clear a route to help accesability. Our...
