Wow! You guys are amazing! Discoweb production was stellar and I love seeing all those Rovers going on some nasty stuff! It's also nice to put faces to names for some of the guys that post the most around here. great job, the best $19 I've spent and it seems I may be helping Ho, Axel and Kyle pay for the DWeb...also a plus!

Thanks again guys!

William E.

By Axel Haakonsen (Axel) on Monday, November 26, 2001 - 10:35 pm: Edit

Glad you like it, William! Now, if anyone is thinking of getting a copy for Christmas, I would recommend getting your order in now if you want to make sure it gets there in time... Makes a great gift, and the proceeds from the video sales goes towards keeping DiscoWeb up and running.

Got mine a week ago! And I agree with William.
Nice job boys.

So when is video number 2 coming out???

By Axel Haakonsen (Axel) on Tuesday, November 27, 2001 - 09:57 am: Edit

Video number 2 will probably be out some time in the first half of next year. That one will be a "Back East" video with shorter segments from various runs and events back here in the North east.

By KJ on Tuesday, November 27, 2001 - 11:40 am: Edit

Well, this is good news! The Moab tape is terrific, and seeing some runs on the Right Coast is something more to look forward to. Keep up the terrific work guys!

Kyle,

We were on vacation, and came home feeling lousy, so I've been laying low trying to recover. Still feel lousy, but it WAS a great time away. Thanks for asking, we still need to get together some time.

Where can I get this video?

By Kyle on Wednesday, November 28, 2001 - 10:56 am: Edit

Click on the link to the store... Its in there...

Kyle

By Moe on Wednesday, November 28, 2001 - 04:56 pm: Edit

I agree, the boys did a great job on the Moab trails. Very nice tape. Axel deserves praise for the sophisticated cutting and splicing. I was just hopeing for a little character development . . . and when the camera panned to Ho in the darkness of Pritchett Canyon, I thought the video was taking a turn and Ho was going to open up and recount a childhood bedtime story

So in the upcoming 'Back East Boys' tape will Kyle tell us a trailside story

By Axel Haakonsen (Axel) on Wednesday, November 28, 2001 - 04:59 pm: Edit

Now, that could be scary..... We are in Blair Witch territory now......

By W.S. on Thursday, November 29, 2001 - 12:58 pm: Edit

Yeah, I like the video, too! The picture quality is great, not shaky, crappy video like I would have expected. And of course it is fun to watch all the Rovers doing their stuff! It's not bad for an amateur video, actually! Pretty professional looking.

By Moe on Thursday, November 29, 2001 - 04:58 pm: Edit

Yes, a Blair Witch theme sounds great . . . where you guys get lost in the woods and keep stumbling across abandoned Discos that have been stripped and gutted of parts and then filled with twigs A bit of black and white film and lots of shaky camera shots will help carry the story and somewhere in there we get a torchlight tale from Kyle told within the confines of his darkened disco.

I am willing to pay more $ for the extra work involved in this video.

Uh, when should I expect my video? I ordered last week and I'm tired of hearing these bells clang together

By Axel Haakonsen (Axel) on Monday, December 03, 2001 - 07:46 pm: Edit

Matt:

You ordered on 11/27, and is was dropped off at the post office here in Garwood, NJ in the afternoon of the 28th. They all go first class mail, but this time of year figure about a week to 10 days.

Axel

By Clint on Tuesday, December 04, 2001 - 07:45 am: Edit

Got mine yesterday.
Very nice stuff.
I think I cringed through the whole thing.
There is a lot of body damage potential in rocks...

By Matt on Tuesday, December 04, 2001 - 11:18 am: Edit

Yo! I got mine last night. It's nice to finally be able to see what some of you f*ckers look like.

Great video. I expected Kyle to look much different than he does. Some horns, maybe, or a perpetual snarl. Turns out he's not satan. I'm sure the X-men will be shocked if they see it. I expected Ho to be younger, for some reason, and I expected Axel to look like a blonde Lou Ferrigno. Turns out he's wiry. Go figure.

Brian looks like he's waiting for the discoweb porn movie to be filmed (think of the revenue for the site).

Seriously, I watched half of it last night and was impressed. Good job, fellas.

By Ho Chung (Ho) on Tuesday, December 04, 2001 - 11:44 am: Edit

but i am young!

Please note, there is more than one Matt on this board. I am sure no one knows, or cares who I am, I just don't want any credit for the stuff this other Matt is saying.

PS The video was awesome!!

By Moe on Tuesday, December 04, 2001 - 12:57 pm: Edit

I would have to disagree with Matt. I think Ho holds those 48yrs very well

I ordered mine 11/27 and I received today 12/03!!!
Very fast if U think that I live in Greece. Something else, here in Greece we have PAL/SECAM but the tape was NTSC, and I saw it with no prob at all, with a cheap Video that I have in my store.

48? moe, what part of the tape did you see me that makes you think i am that "young?"

Yeah , Ho is like that old guy in the TV show "Kung Foo"........

Brian

By Matt on Wednesday, December 05, 2001 - 12:13 pm: Edit

I dunno, Brian, you're just running around with your shirt off half the time, got the tunes fired up in the jeep (whoops, I mean "j**p"), etc etc.

Maybe all you guys should come down here for Mardi Gras. We could run the trails in St. Francisville where they have the J**p jamboree, and Brian could produce a "Discos gone wild" tape.

Although, Ho's walker/wheelchair might prove to be a hinderance on a crowded Bourbon St.

By Rob Davison (Pokerob) on Wednesday, December 05, 2001 - 12:18 pm: Edit

DAMN! you gonna take that ho?

rd

By Matt on Wednesday, December 05, 2001 - 12:39 pm: Edit

I feel bad, because I've never sent any pictures in or anything and Ho has no ammo to retaliate. I'm just playing, though. It started off with an innocent comment that I thought he'd be very, very young and kind of escalated. I hope nobody thinks there is any malice intended, cause there's not.

I'm just teasing, Ho. I'm no spring chicken myself.

By Ho Chung (Ho) on Wednesday, December 05, 2001 - 12:48 pm: Edit

well matt,

wheelchair??? hehehe. you know i was thinking of installing a detroit in my wheelchair, but it's not available yet for my chair model.

you know matt, this is your chance to send in some pics so i can open a gallery for you.
if you don't got pics now, then go out and buy a digital camera, and start snapping.

say cheese!

By Matt on Wednesday, December 05, 2001 - 01:05 pm: Edit

I'll see if I can scrape some pictures up, but I don't do anything really cool in my truck like you guys do. Only been off the road less than 10 times, and it's usually pretty mild, no real photo-ops.

I'm in New Orleans, and we have a lot of mud and water, but no real terrain/elevation. Next time I'm in Mississippi at my buddy's hunting camp I'll take a coupla pictures to send in.

Then Ho can light me up one side and down the other.

Unless you guys want to come down here for Mardi Gras and show me how to wheel. There are supposedly some kick ass trails about an hour and a half away from here. If there is to be an Iron Chef championship, by all rights it should be held in one of the worlds best places to eat, wouldn't you say?

By Ho Chung (Ho) on Wednesday, December 05, 2001 - 01:11 pm: Edit

matt, forget the trail pics. how about some mardi gras action? with beads and all?

By gp (Garrett) on Wednesday, December 05, 2001 - 01:18 pm: Edit

please uncle Matt......pllllllllease!!!!

i will send Ho pics of the adult video expo in vegas (when i go) if you send mardi gras pics.

By gp (Garrett) on Wednesday, December 05, 2001 - 01:40 pm: Edit

issues?? the closest i get is Maxim Magazine. the 'expo' is an actual event in vegas in January!!!

By Matt on Wednesday, December 05, 2001 - 01:41 pm: Edit

Maybe I'll go park the truck near Bourbon St. this year and get some quality Disco/Mardi Gras pics for the gallery.

That reminds me, I was watching something on TV (might have been on Real Sex or something) about a guy who takes pictures of naked women in Africa. He had this chick up on an the roof a D1 snapping away. All I could say was "nice rack," I was referring to the Adventure Rack, of course.

Garrett, sounds like you need to make the trip down here.

By Ho Chung (Ho) on Wednesday, December 05, 2001 - 01:45 pm: Edit

matt, you got the idea there.
a good mix of disco/parade...

By gp (Garrett) on Wednesday, December 05, 2001 - 01:53 pm: Edit

matt. i do need to get down there. my ex was from lake charles area and i never got down to LA before we broke up. maybe next year.......who knows.

By PJ on Wednesday, December 05, 2001 - 02:18 pm: Edit

Hello all, I just watched the tape last night.
Wish I were there too.

I have a question: over the first obstacle, seems like Mike Peters was having a bit of difficulty although he had what looked like plenty flex??
Thanks

Peter

By Simon E. Arenas (Simon) on Wednesday, December 05, 2001 - 02:48 pm: Edit

he had to engage the ARB locker I think.
he has Rockware cones in the back.

Simon

By Kyle on Wednesday, December 05, 2001 - 03:07 pm: Edit

That water fal is a walk in the park if you take it far right. Him having some difficulty there was due more to me spotting him up the harder side then then it was to his or his trucks ability. Those hard ass BFG tires dont help much either

Kyle

By Ho Chung (Ho) on Wednesday, December 05, 2001 - 03:17 pm: Edit

kyle, i thought you had the hardest tires with 55 psi?

speaking of climbing... mike did real well on suicide hill... he was one of the few that made up without winch... mainly thanks to MY spotting.

i think the spot PJ is talking about, the flex didn't do much there. so ultimatly, had to push the button.

By Kyle on Wednesday, December 05, 2001 - 03:21 pm: Edit

Well yes , I was running 55 PSI in the Futuras but the tread compound is nice and soft on them. The BFGs are hard as a brick...
The flex doesnt come close to a locker or two in most places and its pretty evident there on the tape.. But I remember giving him shit about those hard ass tires right after he climbed up..

Kyle

Yes W.S , they were giving me shit saying it was 65....

Kyle

By W.S. on Sunday, December 09, 2001 - 07:37 pm: Edit

Yeah, I was wondering about that... How does those Futuras do on the rocks out there?

Will

By chrisvonc on Monday, December 10, 2001 - 10:01 am: Edit

I was running the Futuras out there and they did real well until we hit Pritchett canyon. Lots of loose sand on the rocks and not as nice grip. Also driver error may have contributed. hehe

Chris von C

By Kyle on Monday, December 10, 2001 - 10:12 am: Edit

I ran 235/85s in Moab in 2000 and 265s in 2001. Both aired up to where they should be. The 265 is definately softer and did better then the 235. They also dont shed lugs like the 235s did. Over here in the mud the 235s were great..

Kyle

By Kyle on Monday, December 10, 2001 - 10:13 am: Edit

4 of the trucks on the tape were running Futuras. How did it apear they did?

Kyle

By W.S. on Monday, December 10, 2001 - 11:37 am: Edit

4? I only noticed Futuras on Kyle's Disco. Now Chris says he ran them too, who were the other two?

Will

By chrisvonc on Monday, December 10, 2001 - 12:01 pm: Edit

Yeah my 235s look like they were worked over by a flock of woodpeckers carrying pick-axes after that trip. They are still barely holding up though with 30k+ miles on them. Thinking of giving the 265s a shot next. Pep-Boys in my area just bumped up the pricing on them to @ $100 each.

Chris von C.

By Kyle on Monday, December 10, 2001 - 12:11 pm: Edit

Ax and Kristian Myers were running them too...


Kyle

By Kyle on Monday, December 10, 2001 - 12:11 pm: Edit

By Axel Haakonsen (Axel) on Monday, December 10, 2001 - 12:39 pm: Edit

You ordered on 12/3, it was sent from NJ on 12/4, so I would expext it towards the middle/end of the week. If it hasn't arrived by friday, email me directly.

By D Cantrell (Discodad) on Monday, December 10, 2001 - 08:20 pm: Edit

Cool, thanks for the update, PS is the site down after 10 PM pst every night?

By Kristian on Tuesday, December 11, 2001 - 12:12 am: Edit

I was running 235/85 Enforcers also, and they were chewed up like CVC's (maybe driver-induced here, too). I recently switched to 265/75's because I'm now in desert more than east coast mud. The Pep Boys deal is hard too beat: still $90 here.

By Kristian on Tuesday, December 11, 2001 - 12:14 am: Edit

Axel said, "Yeah, I still had my BFG's in Moab."

I remember those new tires worked really well on the 2000 trip!

By Ho Chung (Ho) on Tuesday, December 11, 2001 - 12:16 am: Edit

ahhh, those were the special tires?
i remember those.

By Axel Haakonsen (Axel) on Tuesday, December 11, 2001 - 10:31 am: Edit

Yes, that was them. Very special.

Received it today, Great so far I will finish viewing it later on tonight, Question what’s with the LR tire cover on the Baby Jeep?. Kidding aside all parties involved your very talented Off Road. Thanks for the Video

DD

By Axel Haakonsen (Axel) on Wednesday, December 12, 2001 - 08:39 am: Edit

We just didn't want the poor rental Jeep to feel left out, so we put a LR tire cover on it...

By D Cantrell (Discodad) on Wednesday, December 12, 2001 - 02:05 pm: Edit

Axel-
Ill buy the Rental excuse, I am glad it was not a case of Disco envy, Looks like he had a great time regardless.
Also a great visual impact to justify (Wife thing) to invest in some body armor by the sound of the scrapes looks like you all got your money's worth
500 rear bumper or 500 for new rear panel, bumper works for me. an ounce of prevention worth pound of cure.

Ok what was the favorite vendors for the body armor? OH did I start something. No please an honest evaluation would be nice no SG blows monkey %%$^&&* and RTE rules, All the vendors have pros and cons with there products, But I do agree with what I have seen RTE is well engineered. Base this on your Moab testing it would be interesting

Great job Directing Kyle it reminded me of Patton directing those tanks in the mud somewhere in Italy.

How many of you chopped the rear quarter? it looks like 1/2 up needs to be done for a decent drop off? Also I see most have trashed the rear muffler, Mine in now gone sounded like shit any way. How far back on the gas tanks took hits?

Any tires pop the beads on the "wedgies"

By Ho Chung (Ho) on Wednesday, December 12, 2001 - 07:06 pm: Edit

yes WS. inside joke there.

for rear bumpers, you dont' have much choice right now. SG is better among what's out there. but the price tag.. ouch. other than that, my vote goes to SG rear bumper.

kyle director... LOL

gas tank is well protected by the trailer hitch. just don't chop it off.

By p m on Wednesday, December 12, 2001 - 08:38 pm: Edit

can't say so about the rear bumper, though.
one bent puppy is sitting in the garage, another - not bent yet, but already cracked the blinker lens.

Dee, go chop the rear quarters - better you than your tires

peter

By D Cantrell (Discodad) on Wednesday, December 12, 2001 - 10:02 pm: Edit

By D Cantrell (Discodad) on Wednesday, December 12, 2001 - 11:22 pm: Edit

Just kidding, No flares, But i will do a cut for drop in, I did a 6" on the Rangie when the mud guard supports folded and did the playing card in the spokes thing

DD

By Axel Haakonsen (Axel) on Thursday, December 13, 2001 - 09:45 am: Edit

Body Armor: We had sliders from several vendors, SG, RTE and I believe some others. They all did well in my opinion. RTE is beefier than SG, but my SG sliders have done the job on more than one occasion.

Rear muffler. The fancy Borla tip on mine is mangled a bit, but the pipe itself inside of the flare is intact.

Nobody popped any tires off the rim this year.

By D Cantrell (Discodad) on Thursday, December 13, 2001 - 02:41 pm: Edit

Axel,

Sliders,

Terrain Masters' or Trail Masters sliders? Any constructive comments?

Mufflers & Tips

I have a Borla replacement muffler, I like it and the price was unbeatable, not the whole package deal only the muffler

I want to route the new Pipe up a bit higher
in the rear, Ill go with a down curved tip.
Will this cause back gasses in the rear?

Borla SS tips for all there hype do they calm the tones down a bit Like the Carbon resonators do?

Someone routed a tip through the rear on a previous post? Any long term reports on that?

Just an observation not intended to slam a vendor but looking at the SG Kalahari setup with the Bola Carbon Housed Resonator Tip, gone in 60 Seconds (110.00) trail kill, It might work routed through the lower rear quarter.

I have heard this tip it does produce a nice sound
food for thought

DD

By Axel Haakonsen (Axel) on Friday, December 14, 2001 - 08:59 am: Edit

I don't have any experience with Terrain Master or Trail Master sliders, so I am not going to comment on them

If you route the pipe up higher, watch out for the lights in the bumper. If the exhaust is too close, you may melt the harness there.

Personally I don't like the exhaust routed through the rear quarters. That's just my subjective opinion, based on looks. Others may differ. Don't know what long term effect that kind of routing would have on the paint in the surrounding area, though.

By D Cantrell (Discodad) on Friday, December 14, 2001 - 10:06 am: Edit

Axel,
Good point on the rear lights, I just replaced them. Its amazing when the car was the wife’s daily driver, I was beat-up worse then doing the Baja 1000, up and back!!!

Ditto on the Fender cut just a thought, Might have to add Neon to the under side if I start doing major Body Mods
