Tuttle Trip 1/15/2012

[regal403]

Having just received a call from both Martin and Mother Nature, I have taken it upon myself to compose this post while pooping with my iPad.
The weather looks clear for next weekend, and it has been entirely too long since several of the full-size GM boys have made a trip down south for some off road shenanigans. How does next Sunday sound to you all?
I was thinking we could meet up and leave Lincoln around 7 or so and get to Tuttle at 915-930 or whatever. The high should be near 40 that day.
Thoughts?

[Hillbilly]

make it loose for the following weekend, incase.

[regal403]

Or we can postpone until January 22nd if Hillbilly hasn't got his **** together by this Sunday.

[Hillbilly]

I am going to try real hard but no promises.

[sn95.0]

Wonder how my new explorer would do?

[BS_z28]

I am in for the 15th.

[KyleJ]

I would like to go in the spring so you can all make fun of my baby **** jeep.

[Hillbilly]

Maybe someone needs to come help me with exhaust and motor mounts.

[82355]

Joe, go help John. You're closer.

Martin

[Hillbilly]

Ya, right

[BS_z28]

Or we can postpone until January 22nd if Hillbilly hasn't got his **** together by this Sunday.

I can go this weekend as well.

[BS_z28]

Maybe someone needs to come help me with exhaust and motor mounts.

I could help possibly this weekend if you really think you need the help.

[82355]

I drove my hunk of **** home tonight, so hopefully it is ready to go.

Martin

[jlah69]

I've never been to Tuttle but have always wanted to go. Would a stock 99 Ram 1500 even be worth taking down there?

[toom1h]

No

[jlah69]

What would you think i'd need as far as tire size and lift to be worth going down there. I've seen pics of what seemed to be fairly stock trucks and jeeps down there.

[82355]

You could try it, but you might have to take the easier trails. Do you have a rear posi?

Martin

[jlah69]

Yea the rear is posi and I have aggressive all terrains.

[Hillbilly]

How afraid of denting it are you? Scratches? Is this a "nice" truck?

[82355]

You can sure try.

Martin

[jlah69]

Its in pretty good shape but I won't want to smash it up bad but scratches don't bother me.

[Hillbilly]

I just mean I have the same dent in 2 trucks where the tree stopped me from rolling over. Not a bad dent but one none the less. We could pry avoid them but it is easier not to care.

[sn95.0]

John, you old man signed the title in the wrong spot for the truck so im probably going to have to run down there some time.

[Hillbilly]

I can PM you his number.

[82355]

If you are afraid of dents and scratches, you may want to go with the Jeep guys instead of the Chevy guys.

Martin

[BS_z28]

Is it a problem that I still have open diffs?

[Hillbilly]

It isn't going to help you, but you will make it one way of the other.

[350-10]

I should take my tahoe and break it.

[sn95.0]

I should take my tahoe and break it.

That's the plan with the Explorer

[CamaroKITT]

i might wouldnt mind go in my jeep liberty. depends on what kind offroad are we talking about XD

[Hillbilly]

Micheal it isn't rated for this trail. Posted via Mobile Device

[swaggy853]

can i bring the pathfinder? its stock but it has some 265 mud terrains on it and i dont give a **** if it gets dented/scratched as long as all the glass stays in it.

[fmstruck]

I have made arrangements for this coming weekend. John, get off your butt and get your truck ready. It's a Chevy, You're talking about 20 minutes worth of work. What are you doing Wed? I'm off in the afternoon and could help if necessary.

Have you lost my phone number? 729 7482 just in case.

[C.J.]

Anybody have a spare seat for me? I would drive up from Salina on Sunday if there is someone who can let me ride along?

[fmstruck]

You have the right idea, but no promises on the glass.

[C.J.]

Marty I know you are probably driving something with a back seat or two, any room?

[fmstruck]

I may even have a seat CJ. Depends on whether or not Doug goes with me. I can't imagine every seat being full.

[350-10]

I'd be down for an open seat, since I should sell the tahoe instead of breaking it.

[regal403]

Marty said he may try to bring down both the CA K5 and the Burban if he can find enough drivers/beer.

[C.J.]

Decent. Just need a seat!

so you saying this is not like noobie offroading type. i wouldnt mind to join you guys to watch someone get stuck. my jeep have hail damage anyway so why should i care. but if it worse than that then im not gonna use it at all. i was just hoping it would be like a trail walk type but with trucks.

edit:had to add a word

[82355]

It's not for you Michael.

Martin

[96speedZ28]

I need to come watch you guys beat the **** out of your Chevy's one of these times. They're more fun to watch than the Jeep's are IMO.

[Hillbilly]

It's not for you Michael.

Martin

We would be happy to drag you over whatever you can't get up.

[sn95.0]

So is this still a go for this Sunday? I need to get working.

awww **** i guess im no go since its that far :(

[regal403]

46 and mostly sunny is the forecast. Let's do this.
Is my idea of leaving Lincoln at 7 too early or too late? I don't want to be there when it's super cold and dark.
We can just convoy down from here, meeting Hillbilly and Jake at Tuttle. Let's meet at the McDonald's on Sun Valley and West O, since their sausage biscuits and peppermint mochas make for a lovely breakfast.
Also that is close to my house and US 77.

[82355]

I believe my Blazer to be full. Paul, are you really taking an Explorer down there?

Martin

[fmstruck]

Pretty sure Doug is going with me so I'm full.
Marty, I called Darrell and he sold his Black truck. I would have kicked him in the shins if I could have done it over the phone.

[sn95.0]

Martin

Im going to try. Full convertible, cut fenders, find some good tires, welded rear. Beat the **** out if it, see how it does. If it rolls down the hill and sinks in the lake, im going to just laugh.

[sn95.0]

Ok im going no matter what now that I remembered I don't have class on Monday. Will throe the 36s back on the pick up if I don't get the explorer done.

Id drive there but I don't think anyone has open seats.

You guys can ride in the Explorer.

[82355]

You cut the roof off of an Explorer???

me and a special someone might come

If someone I trusted was willing to drive up here, drive it down to Tuttle, and drive it back, and pay for the fuel, I wouldn't be opposed to it. Otherwise no way in hell.

Martin

[sn95.0]

Martin

Haven't yet but we drug it around on its roof and broke all the windows out it so might was well cut it off. My goal for tomorrow is to finish it.

That will be a touch cool blasting down 77 at 23*.

Yes im pulling it down there.

[Hillbilly]

Jake, Darrel has a K30 now but no lift or tire. Infact he keeps trying to sell it to me. Jake, I am going to Lincoln to look at Wades truck tonight and give him a 1/2 ton drive shaft. I plan on working on it thur/friday and maybe Sat morning. I need to put in plugs, route plug wires, Pvc, install driveshaft, build exhaust, fill LPG, load on trailer.

**** I should of sent you the title and had them sign it and bring it with you tonight.

[Hillbilly]

Come down for wings thursday and stop by steve's.

[Hillbilly]

seriously they won't let you get a new title cause he didn't sign in the "right" spot? What a bunch of stupid ****s. Hell mine court house may not even make you have it signed.

Yes the Lincoln DMV is a bunch of ****ing assholes. They signed the line for the odometer. Oh well that's what im telling the cop if I get pulled over. I will follow Marty down there and with the trailer I shouldn't get bothered.

[82355]

Going to weld the rear spiders? As helpless as an Explorer is, you better.

Martin

[Hillbilly]

x5 on spider welding.

[sn95.0]

That's the plan. I still need to decide what im using for tires.

[Kelvin]

ill get the title signed for you brah

[Hillbilly]

Newton has tires on the hoe, swap them off.

[82355]

Cut the **** out of your fenders, and throw what ever you can find on there. 15" or 16" wheels on an Explorer? Is the bolt pattern the same as a half ton Ford pickup?

Martin

[sn95.0]

No. I wanted to throw some bigger tires on it. Might try some 32s.

[HINZ28]

Hopefully gona be trailering Seth Carpenters 4runner down there. Since it's fillaly 4wd again

[82355]

No. I wanted to throw some bigger tires on it. Might try some 32s.

No what? No, they are not the same bolt pattern??? 32's are very big.

Martin

No they aren't the same as 1/2 tons.

[96speedZ28]

Nice

[82355]

No they aren't the same as 1/2 tons.

****in' Fords. You never did answer if you had 15's or 16's though.

Martin

[sn95.0]

I have 15s, 16s and 17s for it.

[350-10]

Hopefully gona be trailering Seth Carpenters 4runner down there. Since it's fillaly 4wd again

You want to plan on riding down with me and we'll ride in Paul's explorer if he gets it done in time?

Sounds good.

[82355]

Make sure to dress warm if you are going to be in an open roofed Explorer. Roll cage Paul???

I might have some tires for you. Do you think you could fit a 35x12.50x15" with serious trimming?

Martin

[sn95.0]

I was hoping it was going to be nicer out. When are you coming to Lincoln? They would fit.

[82355]

Well, I'll have to see if I can get my hands on them.

Martin

[82355]

I am not sure, but I can have five BFG Mud Terrains tomorrow. Pretty wore out, but they are 35x12.50x15's.

Martin

[sn95.0]

For free?

[C.J.]

damn....I need to find a seat. I wanna meet up with you guys.

[regal403]

Marty, when are you coming to Lincoln?

[fmstruck]

So exactly how many trucks/people are going down? Sounds like a bunch. We may want to split up a little or we'll never get anywhere.

1 here i'll be riding with Paul unless John doesn't have anyone with him.

[toom1h]

Welp, I know what I'll be doing soon. I definitely have an itch for a new jeep. Unless I find a fullsize bronco that's decent.

[sn95.0]

Is Baker coming? If not it will just be Marty and I coming from Lincoln with vehicles. I don't want to be slowing you guys down so I will probaby be off by myself.

[C.J.]

Paul you sound like a full vehicle?

Hopefully I can jump in with Seth if he comes down. Nick who all is riding with Seth?

I probably should leave the top on for safety reasons this weekend. It will be coming off for warmer weather booze cruising and mudding eventures.

There is a guy in Eagle that had a Bronco for sale a week or so ago. I'll see if he still has it and maybe get you a few pics and a #. Its not perfect, its in that condition where you'd have no regrets if something happened.

Since the only vehicles from Lincoln will be parked across the street from one another tonight, we may as well just leave from our (Baker's and my) street. McDonald's is optional, I guess. Marty's supposed to be driving down late tonight and crashing in our guest room.

I had a good time today and just as I suspected, I want an old Chevy even more now :lol:

[regal403]

I'm in the **** house now. We were supposed to be back to Lincoln so I could go to the first lamaze class at 6:00, but we're still on the road, 20 miles south of Lincoln. First Baker blew a tire off the bead, then we waited in the parking lot to return the spare we were carrying to its owner, then we had to wait for four, yes four, Jeeps to air up their tires in Randolph, then we had to slow down for a controlled ditch burn, then we had to wait for a ****ing train in Marysville. Meanwhile, back in Lincoln Jess couldn't get my car alarm to shut off, was upset that I was going to be quite late, couldn't find the correct building for the class, and is none too pleased with yours truly for being late.
I tell ya, it feels like the universe just did not want us to go to this class tonight.

[regal403]

I'm not trying to pass blame to anyone, as plenty of tires were flattened throughout the day. I was just trying to illustrate the fact that there was a tragedies of errors that fouled the **** out my plans. It was mainly my fault that we didn't get going sooner. Such is life.

You should not be the one to talk about plans involving babies.

It too was a surprise.

[regal403]

Yup.

Yap.

I made no babies today.

I was only an hour or so late to the two hour class. I bought her some McDonald's on the way home to make it up to her. We coo, we coo.

That might be the smartest thing I ever read from you.

I was not so fortunate in the breakage dept. I shelled out a set of Dana 44 spider gears on the first hill i climbed, but still limped along with the crew most of the time.

[Lt4TransAm]

Had an awesome time today. I'm ready to go again around spring time. Sounds like Chris(96speedZ24) had so much fun, he wants to sell his pride and joy to build a off road rig.

I want your truck.

I'll never sell my Z24, but I would sell my little dirtbike to help fund an off-road project.

[fmstruck]

I'm pretty sure you can't afford it. Not at all trying to sound like a jerk, but I would have to build another one and I know how much work that is. I hate to guess how much money I'd have in one to build one from scratch.

[96speedZ28]

Probably not.

Here are a few preview pictures to whet your appetite until I get the full batch done:

Many more to come.. Stay tuned.

[HINZ28]

This trip has made me want another blazer. The search is on......

Tuttle is a badass place, my first time there and i cant wait to go back (Hopefuly with my own rig) Good time today!

[HINZ28]

Awsome pictures! Good work joe :Thumb:

[regal403]

Thank you.

Yeah I hear ya. I wasn't really asking to buy your truck, I was more-less just saying that I like it. I hear ya about the money part though, 4x4 **** can get expensive quick. If I we're to get one, I'd just slowly piece one together, im in no hurry.

[96speedZ28]

I have a few video's ill post up tomorrow.

Edit: :lol:

[fmstruck]

I was pretty sure that wasn't an offer. It just makes me think of all the crap I've bought over the years and how even Dad said I'd be stupid to get rid of it.

His four link needs a little refining, but I was super impressed by that thing.

[82355]

How nice of rigs are you wanting?

Martin

[Hillbilly]

The long wheel base works good in some places and like **** in others. My box more less is done. At one point on the north fence I couldn't see out my back window. I need a no hop bar and may cut my frame to make it the same as a short box. I liked how Bakers looks and with lockers I think he will do very well.

[c0z]

What was the final toll of chebbys breaking down versus 4N?

[Hillbilly]

Well there was one import and it didn't break. except for dismounted tires I think the only breakage was jakes spider gears.

[c0z]

I heard a certain chevy broke down on the first hill. Sounds like the tally was: III vs 0

[Hillbilly]

The clutch linkage came off. That isn't breaking.

[96speedZ28]

How nice of rigs are you wanting?

Martin

If you're talking to me, I want something I can beat the **** out of and rub up against rocks and not care about it. Just as long as it gets a 4 speed and drives over ****.

[Hillbilly]

Eric really hurt my feelings yesterday.

[Hillbilly]

I also had a life changing experence yesterday when I was kissed on the mouth by a tall red head.

[Lepa]

**** I missed taking pics of you and Joe making out?

[Hillbilly]

Yep

[regal403]

I'm not a red head. I'm strawberry blonde, **** you.

I have one of Hillbilly, but he didn't think it was worthy of posting.

[c0z]

Great vids. Lets see some of the others!

[82355]

Tell John to **** off, and post it anyway.

Martin

[Hillbilly]

You can post it, I just don't think it is that good.

[96speedZ28]

Told you it wasn't worth watching.

3/4 of the way though the video I was wondering if John has been simply postng from his phone after being pushed out of the way and left behind.

'MERICA

[96speedZ28]

I might know where what I believe is a rusty (like holes in the floor) '79 K10 reg cab short box is for ~$800. Supposedly has a recently rebuilt 350 that runs good. Now the shitty thing is, it's an auto with the full-time 4wd t-case. Worth it or not?

[Hillbilly]

400-500

[sn95.0]

I would wait and look around for a while. Its not going anywhere.

[96speedZ28]

Kinda what I was thinking, but the owner thinks its worth a lot more because it's a shortbox. I can lowball him, but I don't think he's gunna budge. Maybe Marty knows of something cheap for sale?

[BS_z28]

I will have a set of 3/4 ton axles here sometime, and i have an extra SM465/205. and pedals as well.

Awesome, I will definitley keep that in mind, Baker.

[Hillbilly]

Eric keeps trying to talk me into cutting my frame down.

[C.J.]

FUUUUUCK I want another Toyota. People keep your eyes open for a clean short box/reg cab.

[82355]

That sounds like a $400 pickup on a damn good day.

Martin

[C.J.]

This was a dangerous thread. Really not good for my wallet.

[swaggy853]

the pathfinder would have done what hillbillys truck did.

The hills are sooooo deceiving in pics/vids. I remember some of them being really intense, while in pics they look like a slight incline.
