Time to start......

I will head up part way on Friday, and hit bridge sat. am as well.
Got meal list, rzr is all cleaned and ready. Truck ready, just need to pack.

All of you coming from the south.......
After you cross the Mac, take the M2 exit west, and stay on M2 till you see M117 and hang a right going North. Run 117 up to M28 and hang a left going West. You will be running along side of Lake Superior on M28.....some great views!!! M28 will run you into US41, hang a right going North. M28 and US41 will now run together heading N/W up into Marquette.
At the "Round About" you will be heading half way around, now traveling a little more west. County 550 will be within 3 miles of the round about......keep your eyes open for it. Hang a right on 550 now heading North, right into Big Bay....like 30 miles. Passenger should have camera at the ready from the Mac on up.....excellent views on both M2 and M28.

When riding with other groups, many of the rzr's had two way radio's installed operating on FRS/GMRS freq's.

Who will be using radio's this ride?

We have a radio in our buggy so we will be able to talk. If not everyone has one we can be the ca-boose so no one gets left behind.

Big d and I have radios ,I have 1 in the rex but not in the rhino Jerry is driving

Yeah we have a radio in our rhino we are also bringing our hand helds. Scott has one in his new razor also he just got installed yesterday

4 More Days My radio is up an running it will get it's true test on the ride. We also have two hand helds if someone needs a loaner.

You guys are kill'in me............I want to ride!!! But hey ,the timing was just not right. You guys and girls have fun. Be careful. I hope to see some of my friends at W/R soon....

Ok.. I am installing another radio in the truck so we can talk from motel to campground I think... see what happens.

I have squeak in front end.. lubed everything.. think its the shock heim joints.. anyone ever pull the shocks off and pull the bushings/heim joint out to lube them? I hate to do something this late in the game in case I break it... thoughts? Should I try it, or just live with the squeak?

Service manual says I have to replace the bolts if I pull the shocks.. ?

I have never replaced the bolt. It is very easy to remove the heim on the shock. However, it is not so easy to get the two passenger shocks off the XP. PITA....
