As is often the case, the sand runs to the bottom of the hourglass faster than I run to the end of my projects...so no skids for COTR. My test fit determined that the front skid is going to need a couple holes drilled to accomodate the bolts for my winch mount, and that the trans skid may need...

a) I want credit for introducing this saying to you 2) you have to use the grinder for that to work

Persists with the new trans??

SITREP: I'm looking forward to heading back down to Windrock next week for Cruisers on the Rocks IV. I've been procrastinating massively on my prep to-do list, but I did make a tiny bit of progress yesterday by pulling this crusty junkpile out of storage: So this weekend I'll be test fitting...

Glad to hear your trans issue is being resolved. I was afraid you were going to have to make the trip to COTR with only 4 gears...like the rest of us plebes. Btw, I don't even have a riveter at all.

@cruiserpatch sells the headers!

I keep thinking of little items I've done recently and forgotten to mention...maybe I need to pin a running build list at the top of the thread. Back in June I installed some Wheeler's bump stops in the rear. I've had the fronts on since COTR last October. Shout out @cruiserpatch and @BurnsCrew...

Looks like a nice design! I run a 12k winch (Badland Apex) in a hidden mount on my 100. Personally, I wouldn't want to use anything lighter-duty than that based on the weight of the rig, and I think a lot of my circle of 100 series wheelers feel similarly. It might be nice to make it accommodate...

Cruisers on the Rockies! What a great time to attend an event full of fellow cruiser nerds in one of my favorite places. I've only ever been to the San Juans on trips with a small crew, and it was super fun to share it with a bigger group and contribute to the experience by leading some trails...

My earlier legs were the same as the ones I have now, just shorter. 😂 But yes, I wish I'd seen more of you too! We'll have to catch up more at COTR. I'm pleased to report that my lady had a fantastic time, and even enjoyed wheeling and hanging out at Crockies, which she wasn't as sure about. We...

That certainly doesn't hurt...dude deserves his flowers too though!

On the way from Rocky Mountain NP to Crockies, we met up with some friends both old and new with the goal of conquering Holy Cross trail. Familiar faces @cruiserpatch and @BurnsCrew showed, as well as my old friend Henry and his partner in his awesome HJ61, and new friend Kelli in her 100. It...

Let's see...where were we? After buttoning up all the maintenance at Cruiser Patch HQ (and getting things done for some customers too!) I began a summer itinerary that some would perhaps describe as that of a madman. I started off with an appetizer trip of ATL -> DC -> NYC -> DC in 96 hours...

Taking close notes as I, too, am interested in finding the mythical grease gun that I don't absolutely smurfin' hate.

I do not...unfortunately all the information I'm turning up at the moment a) has not revealed a part number and b) suggests that these things are long discontinued and more or less unobtanium at this point. The only reason I had one was because I bought a babied 1-owner truck that came with it...
