New from Corpus

Give Eric a shot at it 87gear....San Antonio (210) 648-9266. I think he would give those quotes a run for their money. Maybe he can come in under your "funding limit"?!?

Make sure to tell him that Randy Bigler sent you....That will unlock the hillbilly discount


I live about 17mi. from his shop......come by and we can tell Jeep lies and consume adult beverages....

LOL LOL LOL

welcome! I'm also from Corpus. Not much of a mud bogger but I know a few guys at work that love the mud. I'll see when they're going again. They're always looking for others to go wheel with them.

When I do get the chance, I usually drive the beach.

Tell him Eric Hall says hey, too It won't get you a discount probably, but he was the one who installed my Super35 kit, 4.88 gears, and front and rear e-lockers, all in one shot. Everything's been humming along fine since.

Hahaha thanks for the advise guys, so in the mail in by Monday hopefully I'll have a 3.5" RE Super Ride, and 33x12.50x15 Pro Comp MTs!!! I might have to pass on the gears for now, but I definitely will keep that number handy.

As for you FOC, I usually prefer to hit up the beach, but I'm not scared of no mud. If anyone is ever in the area shoot me a pm or something and we can go wheeling/wrenching!

Howdy and welcome to the forum.

So I finally ordered my lift today. From 4wd.com I ordered a 3.5" RE Super Ride and some center caps, they were only $1.99 a piece! And from desert rat I ordered a tire/wheel package, 33x1250 TrXus MTs with 15x10 D-windows. hopefully it will all arrive soon!

sounds good. I'm free on Sat afternoon if I dont go to SA Fri to get the lift. (got some wedding stuff to do that morning) When is yours coming in?

Wheels and tires should be here sometime next week hopefully the lift will be coming in too.

Sat Afternoon sounds good.

I'll keep an eye on this thread. I work saturdays but if there aren't any dealertrades for me, then I'll have the afternoon off. The beach has been like concrete the past few weekends(rain) but I figure B&R flats should be a mud hole.

Cool, yesterday I went out with a few friends, there is this road right across the highway from the entrance to Mustang Island Statepark, I think it's a paddle boat/kayak? road/trail? Well its just really muddy and we drove through there it was pretty fun.

So today I got a phone call again from Desert Rat, so apparently the TrXus MTs are on back order also! DOH!!! So the guy works me out a deal I guess and now I'm getting 33x12.50 Mickey Thompson MTZs. I am happy, they ship out tomorrow morning.

that road has some deep holes! I went out there a few months ago, drove in a ways and turned back. Figured I'd go again when there would be another 4 wheeler.

deleted my 1st reply by mistake. anyway, here's my mtzs. good tire.

Nice! I like the JK, I tell myself that someday I will own one. Yeah I'm really looking forward to those tires. Last night I went for a little cruise down by the NAS here by the school, and I found...three guys from Nepal stuck up to the doors in a pathfinder. Pulled them out, twice...then headed a bit farther down and found a stuck ridgeline, but some guy in an FJ got to him before I did.

Was a pretty eventful afternoon I would say.

And btw that road has some very deep holes, I smacked the front end of the heep into one of them and bent my bumper.

These are some pics from Wednesday:

Looks like you guys had fun. Who's up for A Sunday run down the beach?

I am, let's do it. I might go out for an adventure today after 4pm. Anyone interested? Hey Kenny are you still on for the install tomorrow?

YEP! GOING THIS AFTERNOON TO GET THE LIFT!

COOL! Where are you picking it up at? SA?
