Dude I thought you just redid your knuckles last fall? What did you muck up this time or is this from the deer incident?

I grooved the inner seal when I did it so I got the marlin crawler seals from Kurt, who is also awesome. My DS seal was leaking, got it done in a couple hours and did a front brake job nithin too bad.


In other news I broke my center console, I am still missing a passengers side front shock since my upper mount kind of finally blew up all the way over labor day weekend.

Pismo is coming up in a couple weeks, and I have a fishing tripin 2 weeks to redding.

Oh and I almost got another cruiser a couole times. My family has an addiction, my dad is lookin for a rig and my sister. Which means im the one looking...

Well I am workin on a cruiser in quincy this week and replacing the front passengers quarter panel from soneone backing into the truck. Heres the damage and parts. And an extra picture of my mom shooting an AR15 for the first time ever

Haha except thats a 20 something round mag. Not my gun or mags. Those belong to the firearms instructors (cops)

So in order, I finally got around to cutting off my broken destroyed shock mount and welding on the replacement since I cant bolt it straight through because of my motor mounts. I need to grind down the welds still. While working for georg for no money to get the parts off cruisers I snagged a couple of the closing heater vents to replace the non closing ones. I also got a new center console since I broke my old one. In georgs words: "you have your choice between brown and brown" so brown it is! I also have a rear swingout and front bullbar im getting at pismo in 2 weeks.

Well hunting season rolled around for ducks a couple weeks ago and I finally got a chance to go out for a few and I jump shot a couple mallards after class. 2 drakes with 3 inch #3 winchester dryloks. This means more hunting pictures are coming! And my truck smells like a marsh now...

I got shotgun!
I think this is the second time we've said we would go and see Patrick... hhhhhmmmmmmm....
Wouldn't be too fuel efficient, considering I'd have to bring my rig too and wheel it! Patrick, a little help here?

haha I agree, except I barely have enough money to make it to Pismo in 2 weeks let alone GA!

someone in Quincy. ive been bugging them about buying it and basically ended up fixing it for them instead. 180k miles and it looks like its going to need an oil galley plug replacement soon. I hope I can pick it up but I don't think that's going to happen.

that cruiser is like the stock version of yours Darrell

 

[robustbambi]

yeah guys, let me sell a few parts first and ill be right there lol

hey dude, ya I read the T&S thread and replied to you there.

thanks for the words on the fender replacement, that's the reason I might be able to make it to Pismo. I quoted the guy $325 for parts and labor as that's what I was quoted for from Georg. they were really nice and ended up paying me $400 even to my surprise, plus I might be working on an FJ40 at the shop that one of their friend owns.

as for a trip up here, I think that would be rad! there's talk in the events section on a gold lake trip again before it gets too cold. the weather has been nice and warm lately so I think its going to stay warm for the next couple weeks. if not I am not against camping in the snow.
