Ed's truck already gone?

PM me if you have floor space.

Has anyone talked to the new member, Jimmy (was at 47 sunday)? He wanted to come to clayton but I haven't seen him on the boards yet. He was worried about a place to stay, and I mentioned Hummer Boy's request for "spooners"

[breckboarder55]

agreed, but if ujoints lived for me then they should live for most other people esp those with a 4cyl

Do you think I can carry an axleshaft on the airplane

Edit: i doesn't say no but since it says no baseball bats, I would assume no

wait... I thought you were going to wheel your Jeep?

[Reckless]

Dr Frankenstein had torn his jeep apart and attemping to breed it a scout, a joo axle and some off the wall Sh*t, so he is waiting for the right thunderstorm to blow through portland

I'm sure he can find a room someplace?

I put the spare D35C shaft in my trailer and put a box of misc. U-joint straps (for other people) in the Patrol.

Whenever I go to the junkyard and see straps hanging off an axle yoke, I pocket them...

Status report:

Jimmy's scout is sitting in the shop with the anti-wrap bracket welded to the diff, the actual "torque arm" yet to be made, and the front crossmember/shackle setup unfinished. Hope to knock the rest of that out tonight.

Lurch is pretty much ready to go. I gave him a once over sunday to find the front driveshaft's slip joint to be pretty suspect (about a half inch of slop in it), but I don't think I have time to run up to our property to snag a spare. But really, what isn't suspect on that truck? I was also half debating on throwing the halfcab back on, but I'd rather not tear it up, but it's nice when it's cold and rainy/sleeting/snowing on us so I might flip a coin to decide.

Other than that, it'll be a matter of throwing tools and spares in and loading trailers wednesay night. How is everybody else looking?

Good
I put the second coat of paint on Lynda's windshield frame last night, will spray CC tonight, install Wednesday night. Still waiting for bumpstops to arrive but that's not a show stopper.

The Patrol is ready to go - load the trailer Thursday night, we leave Friday morning.

Looks like we aren't going to head down there until Friday. What time should we plan to get there??
Also... if anyone needs me to haul **** up there for Friday, I have plenty of room in the back of the dodge, I just need it by tonight because I leave tomorrow for Tulsa.

If you get there by 9-10-ish am you should make it out to the trail. If you get there mid day, you run the risk of everyone being out on the trail. As far as what time everyone gets in for the evening it varies, but usually by dark. I'll be there sometime around 2:00 and plan on heading out to the trail if everyone is still there. Otherwise, I plan to start drinking...heavily.

i think last year wheeling went from about noon-2pm

it was more of a drinking trip, maybe we can aim for 3-4 hours this year

just need to get the jeep inspected (today sometime), check fluids, bleed brakes. GOOD TO GO.
