I figured since the other thread started out as talking about making a club, and what clubs are available, we should have a thread that's just dedicated to setting up trail runs.

The title says it all, and it'll be less cluttered.

So, the 9/18/10 Run to Potato Ridge was a success!

Next item on the schedule is Logandale on 10/23/10 according to McRoberts. Seems like we have a few interested parties! Who all is planning to attend?

If there is anything in the meantime, or someone local wants another rig to ride with them, just post up and see if anyone is available!

I am replacing the whole bushing. I can't afford the lift I want and my track bar bushing is very well worn. Between that and replacing my cats this weekend, I have my work cut out for me.
It sounds redneck, but if you have a big c-clamp, that would work too. I've been wanting to get polyurethane bushings, but haven't sprung yet. I know they are great, at least for street cars.

If your susp is getting worn out, I have an extra set of control arms and all new bushings for a TJ. They just need to be pressed in. I am pretty sure the hobby shop on base has a press.

I have the bushing sitting in the freezer. I'll heat up the track bar and attempt my ball joint press with a socket. If that doesn't work, I'll just throw in the two piece bushing.

poly is good if you ensure that they are kept lubed. But they do make the ride much rougher, which can be compensated by using a tire with a larger sidewall and lower load rating.

It is really just my track bar with a worn bushing. I should have the money for the lift I want in the next couple of months, just had a lot come up in the last couple of months that I couldn't have foreseen. Stuff like finanace at my last base screwing something up and me suddenly making $700 less a month than I should have been.

The ex-linebacker's girlfriend found the NFL legend with a fatal shotgun wound to the chest... ...Reports indicate that a handgun was found by Seau's side.
I smell foul play afoot.

yeah last year they dinged my wife almost $900 for an overpayment on a deployment to Iceland in 2002.... it was almost 9 years ago. We were just like wtf, esp when the just take it out of one paycheck with no notice.
Finance is awesome! :thumbdown:

Probably so. A chest GSW seems unlikely for a suicide. It can be done, but people commiting suicide are trying to stop pain. Not add to it. Direct hit to the heart is fast, but painful.
I just find it odd that he died of a shotgun wound but police found a handgun. Seems to me that they would have found a shotgun unless it was a Taurus Judge.

Who knows if the info being reported about Seau's death is accurate at this point. It's probably full of errors with media all trying to be first to the bit with the info. Him driving himself off the cliff a few years ago sure seemed like a suicide attempt when you read the details yet he claims he fell asleep...


Power, nobody complains about a .22 going off in the back yard? I've never shot a .22 short, are they that much quiter then a .22LR? I know the .22 LR's in my glock conversion would get some attention and I live on the edge of the ghetto where that type of thing should be over looked! LOL


Polyurethane... If you're putting it in anything I'd suggest putting a grease fitting into the equation unless you like loud squeaking.

.22 short is a little louder than a bb gun. I only used it on the rat, and it was about midnight, do no one was around to hear it. .22 short is really quiet.

Davidson-where was it that you went recently that had a steep incline? Was it in the myna where it would be cool weather? I'm thinking tht would be better suited for Saturdays run. Who all is interested?
