[TonyM]

Joe Shaw... his screen name on here is s4x4. Hes on here from time to time... hes laid up right now, but I imagine he'll be out on the trails early next year.

[Grape Ape]

yea i ran with him 2 week s ago before he went in for knee work. that was b29/ baldi with my open diffs. i did ok no problems in the big mud hole. i had to rally cable hill but made it. now im fully lockd front/ rear. he came up with the name grape ape for my dodge lol. this will be my first trip without open diffs. i have some custom body work thanks to the 4 wheeler trail. they didnt think i could fit. i didnt but i made it fit:biggrin5:

Welcome! Looking forward to meeting you on the run Sunday....never really seen a Dodge in action lol

[Grape Ape]

yep i always get wierd looks on the trails cuz im in a dodge. but i usually hold my own. its cool bein the underdog

[Grape Ape]

if any of you kno brad phelps who wheels a yota, he will be ridin with me. he was gonna take it out but is workin out some bugs.:mad2:

[Grape Ape]

yep the dodge is getting a tranny overhaul. was lucky to get 150k outta that one. redemption will be mine

[ak81jeep]

what about the runnung issue with the dodge curiuos to what that was.

[Grape Ape]

clogged catalytic converter :confused: find out soon

[Grape Ape]

well the grape ape is laid up for a couple weeks. she needs a new tranny. she was cracked and had about 1/2 inch of mud in it. worst case scenario. but while its out its getting the lift finally installed. and get rid of those bumpers and get some steel and tow points. by my next run it may be a little snow wheeling time.:hurray:

lookin good.... however, I'd wait till I had some real running gear underneath there before you start throwing real meat at it... esp being locked :hand:

[Grape Ape]

yea im not keen on goin bigger than 35's until i have at least one tons just cuz i like to push it sometimes
