CLCC Tech and Hangout Day 14 November.

[Stumpalama]

We got food and plates covered, but few will say no to more food. We have burgers, dogs soda and chips.
We'll need peeps to bring hand tools like sockets, wrenches, paper towels/rags etc...
...And beer

We have some card experts coming as well, so that will be helpful. I'm happy to rebuilt it if that's what is needed.

 

[Stumpalama]

Cool, we should have coffee as well f

I'll shoot for getting there around 9:00. Loading up the van now so I don't have to in the morning.

I just realized I broke the turn signal lever off of the column on my 74 tuesday night. Does anyone have a spare or a parts truck that I can buy one from?

 

[Stumpalama]

Bring a camp chair or two as wel, if you got 'em

 

[Stumpalama]

Also, if any of you early arrives (not before 9:00, please) want to bring donuts and coffee @TULAX17, I know you said you'd bring coffee, so if you want to add donuts, the club will pay you back for all of it.

Shooting for 10:00-1030.

The turn-off ti the house is clearly marked with reflectors and an orange dune flag (a small flag attached to a thin fiberglass pole).

Tech day had a greet turn out. Several rigs drove away in a little better shape than that came in.

That would definitely include mine! Thanks Chris, Stump and Ryan for all the help. The 40 ran better than it ever has on the way home tonight and I didn't even have to go half choke at the stop lights. And a big thanks to Mrs. Stumpalama for putting up with us all day.

Great turn out today! A club tech day was long overdue.
Thanks to all of you who came out and and made it a great day. I think we did some good work and helped quite a few members with their rigs.
Ed proved his electrical prowess and even broke out the soldering gun to solve a turn signal issue on an FJ40.
Ryan got to show off some of his wiz-bang tools dailing in a weber carb on an FJ40. Though, I believe his brake bleeder kit got the biggest workout and was the most popular tool of the day.
Chris and Steve fixed an FJ40 4WD T-case issue.
Patrick found out he has way too many vacuum leaks, but got all his brake lines swapped out and bled.
A winch was reclocked and a winch line untangled.
There are more, but I can't recall them all at the moment.
Bottom line is tech days are a good thing and we will do our best to make this a regular club event.
A special thank you to Vince and Nathan from Forge Specialties and Ryan from OTRAMM for lending their professional expertise on their "off day".
We have a very special club and, again, it was great to have such a strong turn out.

Stump, Thanks for hosting. It was a fun day. It was nice to hang out with everyone since i rarely make it in to the meetings.

I love the tech days... Thank Stump for hosting. Great event, amazing food.

Ryan, I forgot to ask, Did you make the pressure bleeder on your own? I did not get to see it in action. I was looking to make myself one of those. I bled the brakes in the pickup but someone got crazy air in system.

 

[OTRAMM]

Sebastian, I didn't make it. It's a Motive power bleeder. They are really cheap considering how well they work. Used the universal adapter that comes with it on Patrick's 40. We used the Power Probe Toyota adapter on Eduardo's. The power probe adapter is much nicer to use but doesn't fit the older stuff.

The family and I had a great time. Thanks @Stumpalama for hosting.

The Motive Power Bleeders are dirt cheap. You can't make one for less. There like $50-$60. With the universal adaptor.
