I'll be making it out Saturday Morning.

Unfortunately I won't be able to this weekend. The funds previously set aside for this weekend have now been designated for replacing the laptop I somewhat require for the beginning of the semester! Sad to say I can't, but will be around for the next one!

2nd CV axle boot torn within a 24hr period... I'm really fighting hard to make this trip as it might be one of my last adventures here in Montana before moving in December. 2nd CV axle going in tomorrow.. pray for me!..

Sounds like you need some RCVs

 

[NyNomad]

Solid axle swap?.. maybe someday

Who is heading in Friday from Bozeman? If I go...and that is a big if, I might come up to Bozeman so I can pick up my panhard arm and then follow you out to the camp site.

 

[NyNomad]

I'm putting the CV axle on today, if this on survives I'll be there Friday afternoon or evening

So far, it seems the only person going up on Friday is NyNomad. Fingers crossed that he gets his rig squared away. But he's not coming from Bozeman, so he can chime in and work out a plan.

 

[rc51kid]

OK. To help me plan things, any ides what time sat we should get back to "camp" after going to the mine?

 

[80 Sack]

I'm thinking we should be done between 4 and 5 maybe?

 

[NyNomad]

Good news and bad news.. good news is I got the CV axle installed and projecting that I'll be down there, I'll say 6pm at the gas station.... The bad news is there is a slight leak coming from the axle/diff seal and if there happens to be a big puddle under the fj in the morning I'm not going to risk it and won't be making the trip. the other bad news is I couldn't get the front skid plate reinstalled.

 

[NyNomad]

Green light! I'll be at the CV gas station around 6:30-7pm!

 

[NyNomad]

I'm in, and am down to camp Friday or Saturday night depending on what everyone is doing.

I am in for Saturday! Possibly a Friday camp depending on schedule.

Looks like it is about 3.5 hours for me. I have to work Sunday but maybe come out Friday and sat.

I'll be at the gas station right off I15 at around 7pm. Any of you guys coming out tonight?

 

[rc51kid]

I hate to say it but I think I am going to miss this one.

 

[80 Sack]

Well gang, it looks like we've got a great crew for the weekend! Sorry to the folks who are unable to attend. See everyone at target at 9!

 

[MontanAdam]

Have fun everyone! Just got back in town and have a weekend of must do wrenching ahead of me. Look forward to hearing about the trip.

 

[NyNomad]

An awesome weekend! some cow poo on someone's shoe, good company and nothing broke!
