haha I had actually seen that... wasnt sure I really wanted white or chrome wheels. I also heard that the NATO's were alot heavier and sturdier than ARs. I mean I could paint the white ones, but I would prefer not.

uwharrie this weekend was alot of fun, beautiful day on saturday. Played on kodak for awhile, my 4runner impressed me on its 1st trip since going under the knife this winter. I'll post some pics tonight

6/19/2006 7:13:37 AM

steve what you are calling natos are actually if i was told correctly just early D1 spare rims. they are VERY strong and all but you can get the AR for half the price (or less) of new ones. they also look very good on discoverys with a lil lift like youre getting. you have the hood blackout, the black snorkel, now get the black AR's and spray that chrome front bar and your truck will look really nice.

also have you got your hellas wired up yet and are you interested in these front jack points i have

front hi-lift jack points for a classic/D1. made by terrain master, as seen on AB

$50

6/19/2006 5:55:26 PM

How many jack points do you have... 2?

The Hellas are'nt wired up yet. I have 6 lights and a a work light in the rear, so I am trying to figure out how to wire all 7 of them all up. I have been looking at Discoweb trying to find a diagram for someones setup. If you wanna help me out I can throw a little money your way.

The OME lift is on backorder so its gonna come sooner or later, probably near the beginning of July. I went ahead and ordered a set of 5 of the AR rims from Gulf Coast today, along with a set of the black teflon lug nuts. Anything has to be better than these huge lug nuts that came stock, its a huge pain in the ass to get them off an on. I'll let you know on that A bar...

6/19/2006 6:44:34 PM

Wiring up lights is easy, shouldn't take long at all.

6/19/2006 7:05:49 PM

yeah, but when you have seven?

I mean I could wire each set individually, but I would rather have the two on the A Bar on a seperate switch than the four on the rack.

6/19/2006 7:10:44 PM

I've got 6 have them wired in pairs.

6/19/2006 9:23:50 PM

i had 7 and had them wired in pair, pair and 3 rock lights. auxiliary fuse box from napa. works like a charm.

[Edited on June 19, 2006 at 10:41 PM. Reason : and only like 7 bux]

yeah i got the front set made by terrain master. AB sells them for $99 or so.

6/20/2006 7:51:00 AM

good god

when are you going to EVER need 7 lights?

Are you going to do SAR with this thing or something

6/20/2006 8:11:01 AM

the lift and diff guards should be on tommorow, so a Uwharrie trip will be in the cards soon

6/27/2006 1:19:14 AM

i was thinking of going this weekend but i may be too busy

should be nice and wet though






who is doing your lift?

6/27/2006 5:56:23 PM

Scuba Steve gettin hooked at my house. He does have a really nice Disco

6/27/2006 5:58:54 PM

nice

6/27/2006 6:06:11 PM

^x5. that was before i started on more rocks. we'd wheel at night on tighter trails/mud. so i did use them, but now i'm down to a pair on the bumper and 2 rock lights. i obviously didn't need 7 lights.

[Edited on June 27, 2006 at 6:49 PM. Reason : oops]

6/27/2006 6:38:15 PM

next time I'll be able to go is sometime later in July I think.

6/28/2006 10:19:31 PM

Very nice, although that chrome bar looks kinda funny hanging out there like that. Black it out man!

I may hit Uwharrie Saturday, havent decided just yet.

6/28/2006 10:36:50 PM

you'd better watchout for all those deer that might just decide to jump out in front of you on the trail

...with all those lights yaknow....

6/28/2006 11:15:31 PM

I am planning to do the Border to Border Expedition in the future, and might even make it to Northern Canada as well. Its being built as an expedition vehicle and not a rockcrawler. Everything that is on it is going to be used.

yo quiro taco bell

6/29/2006 12:10:50 AM

i actually like it. i'd do a front bump though, for a winch if you ever get/plan on getting on. the u can run into stuff and not worry about it.

6/29/2006 12:32:54 AM

I would put a front bumper on it if I could find one that didn't suck and didnt cost $900

6/29/2006 1:39:46 AM

guido will make you one for less than that bruh

6/29/2006 2:32:14 AM

I might be interested then, would like to see examples of his work tho

6/29/2006 2:34:21 AM

the big 4 seater rock buggy that was at uwharrie safari this year, also the RCH buggy were both built by him

6/29/2006 7:21:03 AM

I would assume you were talking about this:

6/29/2006 11:32:04 AM

correct. also, guido (jordan) built chuck's bumpers and sliders for his D1.



he quoted me a very good price on making me some sliders for my range rover, you should check him out.

tawaitt knows him too (i think)

6/29/2006 12:28:52 PM

Oh I know Jordan, I bought some stuff from him

yeah, I liked his work on Chucks truck

6/29/2006 2:56:10 PM

might be going on the 4th (Tuesday), anybody else?

6/30/2006 7:02:15 AM

STRONG possibility of a july 4 run down there

so count the rover in

7/1/2006 12:36:19 AM

dcwalton and I will be there, planning on being at the outpost at around 11am. He has a black 89 toyota pickup and I have a red 93 4runner

7/3/2006 8:51:06 PM

couldnt make it, will be going saturday

7/4/2006 4:39:30 PM

went today, maybe Sat too

7/4/2006 4:52:46 PM

somebody rolled a jeep on dickey bell today

7/4/2006 7:28:48 PM

say what? thats funny.

7/4/2006 9:12:24 PM

is this a random somebody or is this a somebody we know?

7/4/2006 10:12:34 PM

shit I hope not.... I saw two groups of Jeeps today on the trail to Dickey bell, one group with a bunch of kids and another with a bunch of college age guys in it. In both those groups, there were multiple passengers and no one had doors on. I only saw one CJ flying solo.

7/4/2006 11:05:26 PM

All I know is an older guy on a dirt bike approached me as I was leaving for the day and asked if I knew anything about a rolled jeep on dickey bell. He said it was laying upside down, but couldn't find anyone so he assumed they either walked away or somebody gave them a ride down.

I would have gone up to see it myself but we had had a bad day ourselves and were ready to get the hell out of there, besides dickey bell is fuckin long as hell

7/5/2006 7:15:23 AM

Did you see me yesterday?

7/5/2006 1:13:41 PM

no, but I did see that white ZJ @ the outpost around 3 I think

7/5/2006 2:30:41 PM

OK taylor wanna run down saturday?

7/5/2006 7:33:19 PM

man I am burnt out for awhile on uwharrie. my runner kept over heating and the battery kept dying b/c of the low speeds and electric cooling fan (ford taurus fan). I'm gonna take my time over the next couple weeks to get it right.

7/5/2006 7:52:03 PM

i hear you, get you some water wetter too and dont run a 50/50 mix of coolant/water. more like 80% water and 20% coolant, then 2 bottles of water wetter.

7/5/2006 7:56:31 PM

fwiw, last time on the trail with the AC on my shit ran 190 degrees. the AC belt dosent like the dust though, ask tad about the fat lady singing.
