Nice work Russ!!! Glad it gave up and finally agreed with you!

 

[mobydick]

You are not alone Russ! What pre-run inspection??? HeII, I don't have a recovery strap or a fire extinguisher or probably a whole Buttload of stuff I'm supposed to have. I better not get up there and be told I can't go...?!

I'd probably go Moby on someone and sink their boat!

 

[dILzNAK]

Congrats on the fix! But you coulda fixded it more gooder if I was there pointing at stuff with the beer in my hand.

"Hey Russ, is that supposed to be all crooked like that?"
Hey Russ, you need a bigger hammer."
"Swing harder Russ."
"Hey Russ, how come they call this a pickle fork when it doesn't even fit in the pickle jar?"
"Hey Russ, your garage fridge is almost out of beer. Is there more inside?"​

p.s. with my going' on, I "prolly" could have used some help

In checking the pumpkins for level I found light brown in the rear and dark grey or black in the front. We all know what those colors indicate, yes?
Letting the juice flow into the drain pan proved a bit difficult as the rim around the 'bung' was rock deformed and needed the dremel as did the front. Good times.
And, and...before that I was going to grease the ujoints with the needle tip first as it was on the gun and there's one only the pointy can get to. Couldn't find the regular tip for the rest of the ujoints so that was a day delay so I could BUY a tip. You think I was an amateur at this...oh wait, I am. That explains things.
Pix of my mess and the chocolate milk from the rear diff with a few drops of clean gear oil I used as a bit of a rinse.
Rambling over...just another day livin' the dream.
With all this 'documentation' I'm sure I'll pass inspection with flying

Hehehe I'm sorry Russ! I should probably check all the fluids in GB.....

 

[Russ in California]

I'm just glad I checked. "Prolly" would have been good enough but the chocolate in the rear might mean rusty bearings.
Note to self: self, do a rear bearing service this fall...after Lost Coast's night time river run in a couple of months. Lost of water crossings on that one.

 

[mobydick]

What do I need besides a pulse to pass inspection??

Russ- what were you using that hatchet for?? Is that for opening up the Diffs ??

 

[2ndGenToyotaFan]

If your truck makes it to O'Brien, then it'll pass my inspection.... Make sure it's clean!!!! for the Forest service...

 

[mobydick]

Do I need to shower?

 

[dILzNAK]

not if you dont want.... However, the other 4 people in the cruiser might think diffrently

clean truck, especially undercarriage and wheel wells and typically stuff, brake lights, turn signals, etc.

here is the technical requirement from the TLCA (this is an official TLCA event)
TLCA: Vehicle Inspection Requirements

 

[mobydick]

Copy that! I'll "borrow" the extinguisher off the wall in the lab here.

Chris, the 'camp axe' that was my fathers(remind me to tell you the tale of the lost camp axe at last years fall Mining Claim Run) and was being packed for the trip.
Also, be sure to use a brush on your wheel wells and take care to clean the upper lip in the rear wheel wells. They will use the white glove there.

Copy that! They go to great lengths to check that we don't import trouble but could care less if we export it somewhere else?? I will do my best to comply. Is there a spray car wash in Obrien somewhere?? If not seems like it would be wise to have an electric sprayer and a faucet nearby to help those who flunk the inspection. Maybe the owner of the store there has one??

And Russ, don't let me forget to Ax you to tell the story!

 

[gnob]

the closest wash is in cave junction.

get hose in one hand and touch everything with the other hand.
i still need to rewash mine to pass inspect as well .

 

[CreeperSleeper]

I do a good wash, then add spray paint... bring on the white gloves!
