yes, I've been to Tellico the past two Novembers now, and it is friggin
awesome like you said! Its an annual November trip for CNC4x4 (info on web
at: cnc.4x4.org), this year's trip is Nov 3-5, trail riding is sat the 4th.
This is the first time I'll be taking my Dak up there though, previously I've
only ridden on other people's rigs before I got my Dak lifted and armored, a
LOT of damage occurs on those trails if you're not prepared! BTW, I still
need a passenger/spotter if ya wanna go, just let me know!
Definitely let me know if you got someone that does ring & pinion swaps, I
can't find anything more local than Charlotte...reason I am leaning to 3.90s
is because I put a lot of highway miles on, thought 3.90s might offer a bit
better mileage than 4.10s...? My truck is not bad with 3.55s, just a little
underpowered...
Dave
ps let me know about the fan install if you have time

<< Dave, have you ever been to Tellico?? I took my dak up there the 1st month
or so I had it.. AWESOME!!! I know a guy in Benson(?) that does rearends
for all the F-body guys around here. Very knowledgeable and honest fella.
I'll get his # for you... BTW, have you thought about 4.10s?? As far as
the locker, since the rings are coming out, I'd say get a Detroit or an ARB.
What part of Nov? I've got family up in that neck of the woods, may have to
plan a trip up to see your beast at work!
