Had a good time. I have pics of an 80 getting towed home from the main gate at Hard Rock. I dont get it. I go to Moab... break nothing.... Alabama... break nothing... GSMTR.... break nothing.... .. in Ocala alone... 2 flat tires, lost a brake caliper, dent on each side, and now a birf. I guess I need to avoid Ocala.
Sucks that my rig gave out. I still think that there is an easy line through those rocks, and I will return to take that line as soon as I am capable to again. I knew something was on its way out at GSMTR. I would hear slight clicking under load. The birf is not broken yet, but now I am convinced its close to its last moments.
Now its time to think toward the future. I am in there, might as well do the whole front end service. Then I have passing thoughts of upgrades to Longfields and stuff. Then I think about how long am I really going to keep this truck. Its is worth throwing coin to upgrade stuff if I am willing to sell it? Maybe I should just do the axle service and be done with it. I know the brakes and front bearings and good, as I did them before the Moab trip (8K miles ago).
Anyway.... good time. Sorry I had to bolt to soon. Would have liked to see more of Hard Rock, but that was my fault. HAd a great time, and it was noted and commented to me that "Everyone seemed so nice, and it was nice that that it was a family thing"

2nd the family comment. It's good to see everyone getting along and just having a good time. Even the AAA tow truck driver I rode home with has an 85 4Runner he's looking to wheel - he even seemed interested in GSMTR as he's gone up with S Georgia Jeepers a lot.
Anyway, Cliff if you want help with that brif/axle job, we should do a tech session at Luis' house! If you've already done bearings, it's just a couple of oil seals and misc gaskets, pinion bearings and grease (well, something to clean it all with, I use diesel fuel). Luis did ask me on Saturday who needed something else fixed so we could have another tech session up there

Let's see if I can get it right:
Rocky: Front drive shaft came out (twice, trail fixed)
Jessie: Smoked clutch
Cliff: Front PS birf
Carter: Alternator (probably)
I think that was really it?

Here's what we took. I'll put them here if you don't want to download them from the box link carter posted
Carter I'm sorry my shaft slipped out twice . I'm hoping to make it longer this week . I believe 2 more inches will keep it inn . What cha think ?

I dunno. I was kinda shocked at how small it was compared to how big it was last time I saw it. Are you doing something you shouldn't be doing?
Wait a minute, I don't want to know the answer to that question. Nevermind.
Archie you're awake !!
Did the email I sent you help you feel better ?
