Haspin Shake Down Trip May 14th

Coppertop · 05-08-2011, 01:29 PM

I'm getting close to finishing my axle swap.With my vacation this week,there should be no problem having it ready for saturday may 14th to take to Haspin for trail testing.Just hope it dries out some this week.I really don't want to have a muddy mess of a rig first trip out..

Hope you can attend.It should be a interesting day...

I slid down in a creek on some wet clay and couldn't get out. And the only winch was stuck behind me. But the wife just told me the kids have a play date that I must attend. So I can't do Saturday, unless something changes. The KM2s work awesome though! They dig like crazy

I am looking to finish up my new axles and suspension and looking to head out this weekend. I will let you know how its coming along to see if I will be ready.

Glad everything worked out.After that...I'm sure a winch purchase moved up on your list.

Wonder if haspen will have dried out by sat? Anyone been there lately ?

Edit : Nick -looks like I can make it out for a short while. I'm done at 1030 am sat morn and will rip on over for a few hours .got dinner plans at 630 so I just need to be careful of time. PS is this a weather contingent trip? 80% tomorrow
