-------------------------------1125017815 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit HI Everyone, Very glad to hear George is chugging along. As everyone else, I am looking forward to the photos and write up. Attendance was down this year, our Canadian contingent were all preoccupied this year understandably, and the failure of the postal service kept the forward announcement from appearing in the Legend. Next year will be different. We had a casual Sat, including a demo for welding aluminum. Seemed like a useful product, done with a propane torch. Part of the off-road was a trail on the powerline, was a bit of a challenge for the leaf spring crowd. Peter Miler's 109 PU on street, biased ply tires was driven by Jeff Wilson somewhere I would have never attempted. Amazing. I was the only casualty ( I think), the generator packed it in on Sunday going to breakfast the back way. Got a replacement, need the time to install. Weather on Sat was a bit warm, but definitely dry. Interesting to hear about the XZL's. I have some 7.50's and they are quite heavy. About 10 lbs ea more than the O.E. tire on my RR. When mounted on Wolf wheels ( also very heavy) they are 20 lbs heavier than stock. Presumably they don't appear to sapping the power from the engine while trying to turn them. Good to know the 2.0 can handle it. The XZL's are fairly quiet and my brief trial on the road shows decent manners too.
