Was wondering how many members would be interested in a Missouri meet. Not sure how many we have here in MO.

Looks like there is only the 2 of us? Surely there is more interested may be we should consider the surrounding states and get more involved with them. Anyways if anybody else is interested post and we will set something up.

Cool we are up to 3 now!! gm4X4 glad to see you’re interested! Any one else?? Do you guys have any ideas as to where, when and what you want to do? If nothing else it would be cool just to check out each others trucks and mods... I am open for suggestion.

 

Thanks,

Matt

It appears that we are all in the STL area. :lol: That makes it a little easier to pick a spot. We'll have to pick a nice day, probably a weekend, and get together. :thumbs: (hint) My schedule is kind of busy right now but I'm sure we can swing something. Sure would like to wash the truck first to get all of the MO road grime off of it. :dupe:

Not necessary 3 is enough pjb0422 suggested doing something here in STL sounds good to me. We just need to figure out what we want to do. I work nights but only during the week I rarely work weekends and am open for almost anytime. What fits your schedules?

Weekends would be the best for me, for now anyway :thumbs: Whenl the weather gets nicer, then I may be fishing.

 

We have St. Charles, Chesterfield, and Eureka. We could meet anywhere in Chesterfield Commons, on Hwy 94, Westport, someplace close to all of us.

 

Matt, where are you at in St. Charles? I'll probably be a Bass Pro next weekend when they start their Spring Fever Sale. :)

I live off 94 and Kisker and I work in Chesterfield. So Chesterfield is fine for me. I spend most of my summer camping, fishing and traveling. :thumbs:

Im from Kansas City. I just dont post much any more, since I sold my truck. But, there are about 5-6 KC guys on here as well. I can only think of SilveradoMan(Mike) and 96vortec(Jeff) right now. But, there are some others, you just have to find 'em.

I`m in! Pretty much any weekend we pick will be ok with me. I`d like to suggest Creve Couer park as a meeting place. The only problem with it is they don`t allow any :thumbs: since it`s a county park but it`s a really nice shady place.

Cool we are up to four--- fmjcafe, pjb0422, gm4x4 and me. I am cool with any where you all want to meet. I think that weekends are a given any one with a suggestion as to what weekend. It would be cool if we could do it some where we could hang out barbecue, drink and of course check out the trucks.

      Roll up bed cover experiences

      By StingerZ16 · Posted

      I started with a folding cover by BAK PAC on my 2500. It went bad after close to 5 years. Bent and vinyl coming loose. Contacted BAK and they gave me a very good discount on a Revolver. Had it a number of years. Mostly outdoor storage. Some garage storage. Vinyl started to come loose. Still under warranty so they replaced to cover. Sold the 2500, bought the 1500 and got another revolver for it. Had it a couple years now and no issues. I store it indoors. Got a bit of discount when buying it as well. If you are seeing problems, contact BAK or real truck and let them know. Customer service was pretty good. But I think they changed their warranty.

      Towing In Loose Gravel

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I agree, there is no one answer fits all as every rig is different, one may be pulling some little aluminum fishing boat while another is towing a monstrosity that weighs a lot and hopefully the owner if the rig has some prior experience to know what drive mode they should choose.    It also struck me and this is from watching a few of those boat ramp escapades videos in the past, Ford being one of the vehicles that has the auto front axle hubs and sure enough its found out that one hub has crapped out and won't engage and may not have manual hubs to even select on both sides so they are on the boat ramp stuck with no four wheel drive and spinning .... they flat out need a tow to get up the ramp and deal with the vehicles new found issues. That can happen to all brands of pickup, finding out either four wheel drive or 4 low isn't working right at the time its needed it to work as some electronic crap has failed.

      Towing In Loose Gravel

      Its possible you never had the joy of the crappy boat launches we tend to have around here or really some of them are just grades down to the river if its a river scenario and the conditions change all the time with the river levels and silt deposits. Some of the lakes we went to years ago, there was no such thing as a cement pad that went down into the water that the trailer stayed on, it was gravel maybe up to the water line and then duck crap much beyond that so sinking the boat tires into mud. Of course some of the more established lakes had a cement bar type boat ramp but sometimes it was covered in green slime closer and certainly within the water and a two wheel drive had all sorts of fun if one had to touch that slime with the rear tires.    A neighbor of mine had made a comment years back with his chev truck that was probably about the same year as yours but a half ton extended cab 4x4 and he a a fiberglass boat with an inboard so it wasn't a feather weight and he had gone out to one of the large popular lakes in the area and don't ask me how this happened but he was in two wheel drive as he figured he didn't require four wheel drive for that boat ramp and somehow upon pulling the boat out he twisted one of his drive axles. I suspect it must have spun and then grabbed on the cement ramp and shocked it to the degree of twisting it. He would have had the standard 8.5 or whatever it was axle housing as the 9.5 ring gear like my truck has also has larger drive axles as far as I know. Anyway he was feeling a vibration driving home and had it checked out and a shop found that the tire/hub was wobbling because of the axle had twisted so in went a new drive axle. After that bad experience he said he made sure to put it into four wheel drive to lower the stress on the rear axle. Of course that is where an HD truck can handle a lot more stress and no doubt these newer half tons with their larger ring gears probably have larger drive axles as well to match vs back in the day.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      Desirable - as in does someone WANT one, aspire to have one. Could reasonably buy any car they want and CHOOSE these instead.    I didn't watch the video, why did they win?

      The use of absolutes like "always" to describe gear selection, and giving free advice at a boat ramp sounds like a recipe for disaster. It's a boat ramp, not a farm, for starters.   IMO gear selection should depend on the obstacle. If low range is working and this is a slower speed, controlled ordeal, I'd keep using that.
