[quote="NOITALEVER"]Thanks for helpin show my boy how to have fun. I did appreciate that you tried to keep the sailor talk to a minimum. Oh, and of course the tugs!

Yeah... I suck! I attempt to keep my adult talk to a minimum, but sometimes it slips and I think of it too late.
Loved your kid.... he is very cool! Hope to see both you and him on the trail more often!
[quote="h2osensei"]Brad recommended a relocation kit, which I bought.... but won't go on with my lift kit... It uses the same holes.[/quote]
Let's take a look at that sometime soon... we might be able to make it work. Did you get the Woods kit or something else?
[quote="RyanSBCA"]Alright... here's my report... as I always say, short story long...
Think I'm ready for the Big Bear next weekend!!!

Ryan... you did amazing, as did Phillip. GJ.... not so much, giving up his ride at the beginning of the trail?!?! I still love him like a sister, but come on! Okay... okay... GJ was hurting. He did get smashed on his bike a month or so ago.... so I will give him a SLIGHT break.
GJ.... get your shit together man!!
Not too much damage.... at least not any of the bad kind (Phillip too). The diff cover is an easy fix. I actually went to one of those high end gaskets.... works great, clean, and reusable. But, as I related last night... the RTV is good enough.

You know.... he called me out right off the bat. I must have a nice ass or something for him to switch Army to Navy. [img]http://forums.ratedesi.com/images/smilies/cockblockedsadsmiley.gif[/img]
So... my report (very basic):
This was a great run.
We started off on the wrong foot. Someone showed up at the meeting point 20 minutes late and with no gas (this was the final reason for parking the heep). So once the late guy got his coffee, he screwed around for a while putting all kinds of girly shit inside (???) and we got rolling. It would have been okay, but Ryan couldn't get the little hot girl's number (serving him, then asking all about his Jeep and wheeling (FLIRTING!)).
Once at the trail we got going.... Ryan was having lots of issues at first, but as the day went along, he started to shine. Even picking very decent lines by the end of the day. Phillip also did great. While Philip did have a locker, the JK is a much better platform to start off with than the YJ.... so that is why I think you felt Ryan was doing better... he's just wider, longer, flexier, and taller to begin with... and all of those count. Everyone gets stuck... so no worries. Phillip, if you're like Ryan and can admit it, you'll soon be telling everyone that you like taking the strap (on) and enjoy it most when you get it from the rear (I got that right, right?).
GJ wasn't feeling good and had no gas, so that is why he parked and did the ride along. I did see him wheel for ten minutes, so apparently he can do it? Although, I might have been drunk.... so maybe I was imagining it?
BC109 seemed to have gotten get a little rougher since the last time I was out, but I still think the washouts have gotten too washed out and the trail is pretty easy now, with fewer and fewer extra credit lines available. More areas were closed off and now all the signs out there say NO SHOOTING. Fucking Sierra Club Lackeys.
It was nice getting Ryan and Phillip a little more experience and confidence. They both had a great time on the trail and both killed it! GJ was actually seen driving his rig on something other than pavement (although, the dirt he was on was smoother than most California freeways
). I had a great time as always... nothing better than getting out of the city, playing with friends (new and old), and assessing the broken shit and how bad my wallet is going to hurt afterwards.
I took some video, but haven't had time to run through it... soon.

Runs with fewer trucks has more fluid motion. Ryan did better than me I think even without lockers. GJ the ghost of Christmas past I hear, rode up 
Think I am ready for the hammers, who wants to sponsor me!
