Well, I have a guy with an H1 who says he's coming. I met him while working, and he has a 4 door soft top with an aftermarket slant back shell. It is in the paint shop for some corrosion issues, and as long as it is out in time he says he is coming. Really nice guy and a nice truck.

Actually, if you look through the pictures in the THCI Colorado Divide thread this is him:

Great guy! So does he have 2 H1's? I thought he had a hardtop HMC4?

I know! It should be an impressive group. If it is a good trail, maybe we'll have to make this an annual NW gathering. Maybe I started something here? :huh:

Hi guys! Sorry I have been out this week. Some family emergency issues.

If everyone sends me contact info, I'll make a list and send it to the group. Hope our nice weather holds out!

Hey guys - I am hoping to make it this weekend - but have a couple of questions.

I still have not managed to get a hold of a UCP and install it - although I do have my Hunner skids + Spider Diff cover on.
Any thoughts on how much UCP will be needed for this ride & if needed, where I might be able to get my hands on one this week?

I am a little hesitant to go without it - as I really don't want to do major damage. Feedback or thoughts appreciated.

I was taking with a guy at Kent 4wd who has been there a few times. He said there are obstacles that could cause damage, but they area mostly easy to bypass.

Of course I'm not sure if easy to bypass means the same thing to a guy that works in an offroad shop. ;)

Thank you. Grandma passed. Sad for us, but a big relief for her!

Wow- I'm sorry to hear about your Grandma, Scars. But you've got her love and memories, and because of that, she'll live on in you/your family's hearts forever!

Hey there Dave! I'm so glad you can make it this weekend! It will be great to wheel with you again! You may not need the UCP. I've never been to Naches either, but like kmug said, you could just do the by-passes. At least you've got the skids and diff cover. But I can't remember... Do you have sliders? Those are pretty important to have for rocks, but again, just do the by-pass if possible.
Just my 1 cent worth... :roll: :)

Only 5 days away!! :woohoo2:

Thanks guys!
Janice - would definitely be fun to ride with you and the guys again!! :)

I've got rock sliders, so hopefully those plus skids and diff cover and I would be in good shape. A wild and crazy week of work travel for me ahead, but will confirm my attendance by mid-week. Watching about an hours worth of youtube videos on Naches Trail - really got me fired up!


:horns:

Thanks all!
DAVE

It's Yom Kippur, so I'm going to have to pass on this one. I am looking forward to doing another run with y'all sooner than later though. Have fun!

Anyone bringing spare tie rods?

I still have time to buy a spare tie rod to bring along with me... but I was just wondering if anyone else is bringing spares, or do I need to bring one along this time? :huh:

I am bringing a spare inner and outer 16mm tie rod, a half shaft and the tools to swap them out. :cheers:

Hey guys! We're back home again after 12 hours on the road. We have put on about 1600 miles driving this last week! Can't wait to get out on that trail and forget all about the rest of the world for awhile!

I'll send out the roster list tomorrow.

If anyone has nurf bars or steps, I would recommend you take them off for this trip. I would hate to see anyone tear up their stuff!

SGT-Wright, I have your rack, and I will try to get to the store a little early. If you can make it a little early hopefully we can get it mounted on your truck and be ready to go on time. Looks like it shouldn't be too hard.

Ok, I'm off to bed to sleep for many hours!
