I googled: "October 2009 Rausch Creek Offroad Park" and got a bunch of hits on 4x4 clubs having events at RC in Oct. but not on that weekend (24,25) so thats good news!:-D
================================================================
Yeah those guys near the trail head were definetely down...
Yeah your right, Nov. might be too much with the weather for some.
Well we got:
Oct. 15,16,17,18
or
Oct. 22,23,24,25
Hmmmmmm........:| I vote for the latter option if that counts for anything.
Hi,
Sorry for the delay. I asked Lynn from RC the questions you guys raised.
Her response:
"October is the busiest month of the entire year so it's hard to pick any
weekend that's going to be less crowded. We will have more camping space
opened up by the time your event rolls around...
Those are all great ideas. Thanks OLDCHEV for bringing this up. That means you're still really excited about it:-D
"I wonder if we could work out a Thursday PM arrival and hit the trail early Friday?"
-Maddawg had this idea last year and maybe we should implement it for 09', although it...
-Axle ratings are always measured by the capacity of the axle housing or assembly. Springs are a variable. I would guess that a 5ton rockwell rear has nom. rating of 38-40K

The body lift idea is a great concept but think of all the trouble involved:
-Radiator/Cab/Fender supports
-Clutch, Brake Actuation
-Steering Components
Would the bed be raised as well? What would it look like with a huge 6" gap between the battery tray, toolbox/running boards?
Thats a...

I am happy that you went with a Cummins as it will be much easier overall. I still question the clamping ability of the...
A friend of mine in my ATHS club has a 49' Mack LJT with a stock NH-220 (743ci) routed to twin stacks w/no muffs.
Ditto to what DaveP described: It barks!! I think it sounds great and it isn't that loud. At idle it burbles and is pretty quite.
I would say go for it!
(the 819 w/400...
Hi,
That is really great that you saved it. It was calling out to youfat lady sings
Get the largest angle grinder you can find, pop a wire-cup wheel on there, put on a resperator and a Tyvek suit and attack that MoFo:tin hat:
You'll enjoy the peace & quite from the gasser when you...
Agree 100% Chris. When operating a 939 you only have to use the weight of your foot to gently squeeze the pedal. If you use your leg muscles at all, you'll go through the windshield.:razz:

Were removing the 5th wheel so we can take it apart,wire wheel and grease it so it is fully functioning. It looks like its been used twice in its life.
*Thanks guys for the continued interest in this project. I forgot to add these pics:
Our Sam Winer care package arrived. (900 series front axle brake parts)
