We were thinking about going up next weekend (Saturday, 2-27)...I was gonna post it up later today, but I guess I dont need to now!

I'll be putting a (Aussie) locker in my front axle this weekend... with a little luck

You'll have no problem with the locker, they're a piece of cake. C-clip axles are a little tougher, but still easy enough to do in an afternoon.

"piece of cake" if Storm is helping (which he is) ;-) Locker is in, but the rest of the front end isn't back together yet - as usual (for me) it takes time to repair the broken bolts/stripped threads etc. on a 35 year old machine. The rest of the parts to complete the front end rebuild are supposed to be in this AM - new bearings/seals etc. Also got Longfield birfs and chomoly hub gears. Should finish this AM.

There is no C-clips in the front axle. The hard part is taking the front hubs apart and pull the birfs out. It's time consuming.

So why do you ask anyway?? Anyone else up to a trip this weekend? Need to know if I should be motivated to go get the rigs ready?

Uh oh!...Well im not sure what the skyway/highlakes is looking like but it would be nice to find out...I would imagine it is tore up and rutty as all heck but it could be fun! I just dont know how far you are willing to travel? You might get lost if you leave you neighborhood!

[mwilley]

I live in Orland, so I will have to drive far regardless of where we go....

Well we are planning on going up doe mill/powelton on saturday morning...last time we did powelton it took 4 1/2 hours from top to bottom with all of the snow and the trees across the road...If you guys want to do that we will be leaving saturday morning...

I was hoping to tag along, that's why I started this thread, but at the time, I was free to go. My availability has changed. I'll have to tag along sometime again in a few weeks.

[tfpets]

Ok the plan is to meet at the lower Powelton Rd. just past the DeSabla Reservoir...We will be meeting at 9 a.m. Hope we see you there!

Things did not happen as planned, and I am going to have to bail on this....sorry, we are going to have to go out some other time.
