It's quiet in here

Hank · 03-27-07, 07:16 AM

Anything new? I'm locking and replacing the bearings in my FJ62 this weekend. I should be able to finish my camry this weekend also, it got painted yesterday. Wife says the yard looks like crap and the gutters need cleaning. Anyone else have a winter's worth of projects to do in a couple weeks?

woody · 03-27-07, 09:24 AM

I hear my bathroom is getting painted, and some new cabinets are going in....

so i hear...lol

Hank · 03-27-07, 09:26 AM

Pink toilet, purple cabinets and fuzzy green carpeted toilet seat covers I'd bet.

Niner · 03-27-07, 11:53 AM

I finally am home but not getting much done. New faucets in the kitchen and crapper. Need to get a ladder to use the leaf blower on the gutters. the old neighbor had one I could use now I going to have to buy one darn it.

Niner · 03-27-07, 11:54 AM

Woody are you joining us for Darlington Races? I need to get the tickets ordered.

Hank · 03-27-07, 12:20 PM

I wish a leaf blower would work. Mine are always wet and full of nature. I'd really like to rip the gutters off the house and put up new. It is one of the ONLY things I haven't done to the house yet. I just can't see tearing off something that isn't bad. If there was a self cleaning system that worked, I'd be all over it.

Screw it, I think I'll just go fishing.

woody · 03-27-07, 12:25 PM

Nice try at the funnay! Nothing to see here, move along.

Last year I got tired of cleaning my gutters and had a product called "GUTTER CAPS" instaled. So far no leaves or helicopters cloging up the works. I realy like them so far.

Hank · 04-02-07, 06:27 AM

It's not that bad of a job for me to spend money on the old gutters. I just like to bitch about it. It'll be done next weekend or so.

Hank · 05-09-07, 06:32 AM

Any lurkers here? Anyone doing any wheeling besides Woody? Bastid was playing golf the other day too. Any new projects going on? I locked the rear end in my cruiser and changed all the bearings. I also pulled out what looked to be the original plugs wires, cap and rotor. It's got all kinds of balls now compared to before. However the battery tray rotted out and was laying on the inner fender. New battery tray is on order and I hope to have it in by the weekend pipeline clean up. Anyone else going to be there?

Mr. Green · 05-09-07, 09:42 AM

I'm lurking here and there. Right now fishing season is on so truck work has halted. SPending spare time cleaning up the 69 Z for sale in the next month. From all the interest so far, I may not even have to advertise it. Maybe I can take some of the cash from the sale and apply it to some goodies on the '74 40.

Hank · 05-09-07, 09:46 AM

Hmmmm 69 Z, must post pictures!

Mr. Green · 05-09-07, 10:05 AM

Will do. Give me at least a few days (like this weekend). It truly is a nice clean car.
Oh, I need to figure out posting photos too. Man I procrastinate like no other.

Mr. Green · 06-01-07, 09:08 AM

I finally got my photos up in a different thread.

Hank · 04-03-08, 06:46 AM

It's quiet in here again. Found the post from last year instead of a new one. Gotta clean the gutters again, yard looks like crap but is still to wet. Not much wheeling in site at the moment.

Anybody doing anything exciting?

Niner · 04-03-08, 11:41 AM

Getting the FJ ready for the United Wheelin in Virginia. Leave Tuesday the April 8th come back on the 13th. Long straight through drive. but should be some fun wheeling.

woody · 04-03-08, 10:13 PM

Johnson Valley CA last weekend....
Dallas Auto Show this weekend....
Virginia next weekend...
Baytown TX the weekend after that....

definitely not bored...

webelk6 · 04-04-08, 09:24 PM

I currently have the 40 rolling chassis at the body mans place....
Awaiting tub mounting

Then I can update my dinosaur build thread.

ccoli · 04-05-08, 06:15 AM

Winter has been long and hard on me and the 80. Believe it is time to do the head gasket as I added 1/2 gallon of red juice the other day. 140K on it, so it needs a few other items too.
Figuring on the following:
Valve job
All cooling system hoses, incl. PHH
Plugs and wires
Radiator flush

Anything else I should be considering?

Hank, you still up for this job? I ain't got no time. Building several Motorcycle engines and finishing up the new sidecar rig I built this winter. Rode it to Daytona for bike week, ~4200 miles with the side trip to Arkansas coming home. Got a few items on the punchlist after that trial run. Rescuing a flood victim bike too. Lots of cleanup there.
On the gutter front, I put in Gutter Stuff last fall. It's like an expanded foam or sponge looking stuff that fills the gutter up and prevents crrap building up in there. Had good recommendations from a few pals and seems to make sense. You can get it in sections at True Value.

Hank · 04-07-08, 06:45 AM

Yeah, still game just give me some notice. We are finishing up a few projects around here. The Duramax equipped Suburban will make it's maiden transport voyage later this month. We took two months off working on it with a couple of record sales months really taxing the service department. Now it's go time though.

Hank · 12-03-08, 06:33 AM

Quiet in here again. What's up all? Any body ready for some winter wheeling? Niner, how much snow in the woods out by you? Anybody kill any trophy bucks? Anybody convert to wheeling Isuzu's? Mother Nature is making ice, ice racing is only a couple months away.

There must be some excitement here.

Niner · 12-04-08, 05:06 AM

I'm in chi town this week so the reports I've had is 8" on the ground in my woods just a couple in the chicago area I can confirm.

I missed the trophy buck the WI DNR can't count as far as I'm concerned. The only places I saw any Deer was in or near towns.

Fintelman is looking for a isuzu rodeo shell to build a buggy with, don't ask it's fintelman.

Thinking about wheel spacers to get the 15" studs on the FJC, but might bring the Heep out on the ice for a beating.

woody · 12-04-08, 06:23 AM

Fintelman needs to finish the buggy he has first.....

reminds me, need to come up with studded tires for the races this winter....wonder if 15's fit on my FJ40 or not...hhmm

PhilC64 · 12-04-08, 08:08 AM

Where you staying in Chicago, Niner?

Hank · 12-11-08, 07:41 AM

Heading to Crandon this weekend to work with the Off Road Raceway's 40th Anniversary "Ride with Champions" team. Mainly route confirmation and GPS. Lots of road, 1.5 miles of non road that we must walk due to lack of permission at the moment. I'm taking the 4Runner and lots of warm clothes.

Anybody else doing anything exciting this weekend?

woody · 12-11-08, 08:40 AM

thot that was off? - dammit!

I've got Sushi and martini plans for Sat nite, gotta be home by 5ish to get hosed down and ready....

Gamblers tickets for Fri nite, probably end up at Cleo's afterwards...
