when you do this, it tweaks the body a little and the doors wont open or shut anymore.

Didn't see that coming... :D
Is that the reason your winch stopped working John? Did you never shut your truck off after that? The scout's sexay wit no doors
It was great fun, and while we did get a little work done, we mostly got to really think and discuss with Steve what needs to get done so we can be really productive next time.
Fullsize friendly trails: go to the extra effort to cut any branches that make your spine tingle as they scrape across your paint. A machete out the window works well. Also the little trees in the middle of the trail that don't get hit by tires, cut them and toss them to the side. There are lots of trails there that are "fullsize-friendly" technically, but just need a little extra work to keep the pinstriping down.
Removing trash/metal: Steve said we could use the trailer that he has there, and it would be perfect for tossing chunks of cable onto. He said we can just dump the metal in the pile with the water heaters. To come prepared to take out metal, we'll need to bring a torch, good gloves, straps that you don't care about (for dragging the cables out of the ground)
Signage: Steve showed me a pile of tposts that were donated, as well as some square pieces of metal for making the signs. There are a few cans of yellow paint for making the posts more visible, and he said he has a tpost driver and stencils for lettering the signs. We need to supply ubolts for attaching the signs to the posts and spray paint for the stenciling. Also probably a drill to punch holes in the signs for the ubolts. And 2 tpost drivers could let multiple groups do this. The idea is to put signs at some of the major trails and at some of the road intersections. Every sign will have an arrow indicating the "easiest way out" as well as "trail __" (numbered) and possibly a rating (1-5), though we could probably put the ratings on the map. These will be at least a 2-step job. First go out and paint all the posts yellow. 3 or 4 people working on this could probably paint them all in a half hour. Next trip get them in the ground, signs hung and painted. Probably a full afternoon on this.
Thanks to those who worked this weekend. :cheers:
Looks like someone needs to learn the sure method of keeping these things in.

where were yall at
turn left at the bottom of that one ditch (see why these need names/numbers?) instead of turning right and climbing out. It didn't look that bad :D
that is right where we were at earlier. Me, Clinton and then you came up it. Instead of turning right and up the hill, it looks like he went straight.
What is that?

would it work?
http://tamor.us/members-rigs/albums/...0002.sized.jpg
Yes it would. Or just get a solder on cable end.
yeah, after recovering davido in gilmer, my doors don't work the same. Check the two body mounds right behind the doors. Both of mine buckled. I guess I shouldn't have anchored my back bumper to grayson while I winched Dave out.
yeah, mine didnt work too great after winching that guy that rolled in gilmer. i anchored to jason and it stretched me a little. after this though, they wouldnt close at all.
here's a couple more pics from a camera phone
Whats the difference....I don't see anything different :confused2
:gigem:
<Rick James on> they should've never gave you niggas money! <Rick James off>
i never got to see the front end of the jeep while it was in the hole, but it looked bad from where i was, it actually looks better than i thought
I think its an improvement. Hey John did that terminal melt from winching too long? Maybe you should get brass ones, I know they make em.

Time for a new hood and sidepanels. Quadratec sells replacement sides for about $40 per side. The hoods a totally different deal though, I think a sledge will do the trick. :flipoff2:Quote:

I want to go out there an play in the mud now. It just stopped, but the rain was coming down hard, even got some hail
I bet if you had solid tube fenders you would have made it. At least through the entrance there. They would have kept you off the edge a bit and kept your tire from getting wedged. A sledge oughta fix everything for now...
don't use the side terminals for the winch. Optimas were not designed to connect the winch to the side terminals and it will melt something inside the battery and destroy it.

validate please.Quote:
