Bub was liftless for a bunch of rides and did fine. He gets more water from his sunroof than doors!!! And yes it's still leaking!, for those who know what I'm talking about!!

And keep in mind that Bub always has a few thousand pounds of tools and power generating/storing equipment in his jeep... So his running stock measurement were lower than yours are. SO, you will be fine!

I also did a ride out there (not the same trails) when I was stock and was fine.

By that time it will, or should I say might be on 35" swampers. And for the pics

How many of you guys ever seen one of these much less know what it is?

This little thing is the SH:T

shaggyislandboy · **Posted:** Sat Feb 27, 2010 12:27 am

Wow! Impressive pics. Thanks for going to the trouble to post. It really happened. :wink:

Now that looks like my kind of fun! I hope to have my jeep ready for that trail/river.
I think I'm going to run a field line from airbox to hood, secured with duck tape and gorilla glue. :seuss:

Once I do it I'm going to package up the kit and sell 'em for $300. Now that would be the cheapest snorkel on the market... Literally!! :shock:

So do we want to aim for the 2-4 of April or 9-11? Anybody want one weekend over the other?
Let's set it and not forget it!

:JEEPIN:

bill97redtj · **Posted:** Mon Mar 01, 2010 1:46 pm

I think 2-4th is Easter weekend so we will be there anyway! Don't know how that works for everyone else though.

The truck is a Nissan Patrol, no? Sure looks like it. I remember riding in one back as a kid down in the islands. (on vacation).

Hmm, have to keep an eye on this thread. Still wanna make it out soon with a ride with y'all

I think it's a 64 or 65, it's my dads buddy and he grew up in panama and said they were all over down there, found two of them in pensacola area. I'm going to see if he can make it for this ride. Anyone else has any thoughts on dates?

Easter weekend might be tough with the girls and Aunt Betty in Mississippi.

Next weekend might be better for me.

Don't blame the date on me... I understand your wifey can leave some pretty deep bruises!! :dizzy:

I'm still open for either date.

shaggyislandboy · **Posted:** Tue Mar 02, 2010 8:43 pm

I think I mentioned something about getting ready for this ride... and the 3 or 4 miles of new trail that Bill found...

Is that a body bag?

Double bagged. I guess they want to make sure its 'water tight'!

:BANANA:

I wouldn't count on Full, he had some issues with last ride that rubbed him the wrong way.
Shag we were talking about your snorkel today and both said it's time to put it on!! So when you want to try to do it??

I was ready months and months ago :banghead:

... but I finally located a used one and it just landed on my door step TODAY!!! :BANANA:

Super huge thanks to Tom (CRD Joe) for selling me his. He made me a deal I couldn't refuse! I can't even call it used, as you can see from the pictures, he had never even opened it. :pepper:

If y'all are willing to help, I will make myself and the Reggae Bus available when it is most convenient for y'all!! I would love the help! In fact, I'll cover the food and drink (name your poison)... I'll do my best to make it worth y'all's time.

I PM'ed Bub asking him what other supplies I need.
