Turbones Trip to the East Coast Update
You know ..after looking at all the pictures..I now remember why I usually avoid a camera like the plaque...Since quitting smoking and drinking...I am embarrassed by being the hippo that I am.. Actually..I am quite embarrassed and would like everyone to burn thier pics...OK now back to the corner to cry

Turbones Trip to the East Coast Update
I think my longest solo drive was from Carlisle PA to Smackover Arkansas ( yes it is a real town and it is on the map..Southern Ark close to El Dorado) in my beat up 82 Toyota Truck..had my camper topper on it and my dirt bike hidden underneith.Truck was so beat it wouldnt pull the mountains..had to turn the OD off and you would still only be doing 30 by the top ..yes it was an AT..needless to say..the truck never made it back..broken crank..spent 2 days in a motel off exit 168 in Va ( Rt81) The trip took me something like 24 hours down..the next time I went..I flew:)

No problem and thank Neo..it will probably be in the next couple weeks..starting my new job soon and want her to be my daily instead of the XT6...and I may have plans for Bucky;) involving swapping him to 4WD D/R 5 spd with lift and lights...unless I can find a nice nearly rust free one from the west coast.

I have her rear suspension in..need to put her front in yet ( the struts and springs are from an OBS wagon so it sits higher)..Then just the timing belt and a tune up and a patch on the gas tank and she should be good to go:) . I really want to try her out there...I have been busy getting the XT6 ready for the Dragon meet..now that its done I can concentrate of Pheebs

Suspension and tire upgrades
Trying to get some ideas and opinions for this for my XT6...After running the Dragon I found his weak points happen to be these areas..I am running some new but cheap champoro tires and who knows what the coilover conversion came from..Looking for something to stick to the sharp higher speed turns( without a ton of squealing ) and maybe something not so still on the suspension. Thanks

Turbones Trip to the East Coast Update
Thanks guys..I personally cant justify spending all sorts of money on the formal thing..with 200 of you closet family members that you may only talk to once every 10 years..especially when ..like me..your friends are more family then the family is.. Plus .we are old..and this will be better remembered..and have a much better story to it.Its all about the meaning then the ceremony.
