Sulfer River Trails looks like it might be worth a trip sometime, when they reopen.

Last time I was there was right before they closed and they said they were going to take the down time to rebuild the trails and facilities. I hope to make back as soon as they open. It is only about 20-30 min from where I am from.

buddy up at school here has a 91 2wd single cab long bed 12V auto, for sale $500, under 300k miles, thinking of purchasing to resale. and try and make a quick buck. truck seems sound, needs alt. and battery. good idea?

EDIT: after i checked KBB , seems like a foolish move not to purchase it

and put on a new set of black Unique Series 297 Rims... http://www.uniquewheel.com/catalog_pg2.html

Do yall think the black would look ok on the trailer or should I stick with chrome? Any input on these tires or wheels? TIA

Well I went ahead and ordered these Tires and Rims today from Discount Tire. The price kinda hit me in the gut.......but I think the peace of mind of running these BFG Commercial LTs will be worth alot.

On top of the tires/rim expense....

I had a flood at my house yesterday. My refridgerator ice maker/water dispensor thingy broke and started flooding my kitchen and part of my living room.


Glad I caught it when I did. I used my shop vac and sucked up most of the water.......and called a carpet cleaning co. ( I was going to have the rugs cleaned anyway)......and they got the rest, sprayed some chemical stuff. I have a blower and dehumidifier going right now drying the subfloor........had to cut out part of my soaked pad....... Hopefully by Wed. it will be fine.

They are more of a NW org. from what i gather. Randy's @ Randy's Off Road I believe is the head man there. I have been dealing with Randy's O-R for a while now and they are a great bunch of guys to deal with...so i would assume that would translate in.

With the DHRA going under....we dropped our sponsorship with them (Without going into too much detail) and joined up with NHRDA. They are going to try to fill in some gaps left by the absence of the DHRA this coming year. We are looking fwd to a great year…so far so good!
