Took the rig out for a flex test today. Went down to the wash east of Houghton and Valencia. Had a little rub at the rear of the wheel wells and brought it home and did some trimming. Still need to test it some more before any serious runs!! Don't want to damage any new rubber!

No problem on the phone call James, just thought I might be able to get you out of the house for a bit! ;D
Also spoke to Jason but lost the phone signal when I got down by the wash. Would have hooked up with him and his friend, they wound up going out to Chivo (I think).
As of right now I am planning on making the Gap run but that depends on if I can test this thing out this week and make absolutely sure that I can keep the tires from touching fenders or other metal parts when I flex out.

Sounds like good time's hope you get your flexing/tire issue squared away, beating on new tires is one thing but fender damage to tire's hurts. ;D
Hope to see you on the trail, as for my self I am going to attempt to flush my Radatior out it needs it. ;D

Are you going to get it flushed before Saturday? Also, Nev wants to know if there are any women folk going on the run. She says she doesn't want to be the only one there. She probably won't go if she is going to be the only one out there.

I am going to try, just have to get the kit and a hose and then tap into the water spicket an hope no one yells! Stupid apartment! My wife would go but she is 7 months pregnant, ;D and the trail that we ran up the back side of Mt. Lemon was too rough for her in some parts :(and that was with her Honda CRV and it rides softer than my pig. But atfter that then she will once again be joing me on some runs. ;D

So azdesertrhino how go's it? Are you going to make out this weekend? DJ, do want to rephrase that question? People may begin to believe that nickname in your profile. ;D ;D Still haven't had time to completely flex test it yet. Don't want to hit a 4.0 until I'm absolutely sure I'm not going to be hitting on the rig. If I can get that done, I'll be there. Wanted to stop and see some of the fab work on the tire carrier for James but the job got in the way!!
