I'm interested in meeting some of you possible before the first outing.

Does anyone bring their kids? Mine will be 5 and 3 in April and really enjoy the outdoors. I told the wife the 100 would help us spend more family time together. IT WORKED!!!:grinpimp:

If you meet us before the first outing, you may not want to attend the first outing :grinpimp:.

My 21 y/o has come along on the trips (and drove) two or three times.

My 9 y/o daughter has joined us 5-6 times and had a blast.

My twin 4 1/2 y/o boys joined us on the last outing to Wash ita and also had a blast (slept through the violent rocking as we tried to get free of the waterfall climb - thanks again Joe).
 
We will be there all day Saturday 18th and untill around 5pm on Sunday 19th.

Glad to here you're in for Saturday Steve.
 
Man X you're hardcore. If I had sleeping facilities for the little ones I'd be in for both days. I think Nina would be too fascinated by the zipper door on a tent for me to sleep soundly.

As far as the axle service. I do have a USAR training exercise in the am on Saturday that weekend. I'd probably only be able to come down on Sunday. Or we could start it Friday night and finish it on early afternoon on Saturday. Or, I can do the optional friday night exercise, and skip the Saturday session. The axle is more important than Jackhammering, breaching, search camming, and shoring right now. With extra hands and a lift, I think my back would hold up better.

Is there any way you can bring your welder?I Otherwise, I can do it at the farm, but I'm set up for stainless right now. I know exactly where my rattle is coming from. I need to put my cat hanger bracket back together, it's split right down the middle.

Yeah, that waterfall was something. I'm still bewildered by your driving expertise, especially WITHOUT SLIDERS!!!!!!

Or we could do the "start Friday afternoon/night and work straight through Saturday morning, and then go to work, and then come back and finish it off" option that generally works for me.

Or we can just try for another weekend too. I'm test-driving an '09 M6 right now that I have to return on Thursday so I'll check on another weekend then.

dang straight skippy - screw the tough guy stuff! The lift and some experienced help make all the difference in the world. I had the lift and NO help (though StlCruiser did stop by) on my first (and only) attempt, and it was still much nicer than watching you and MoJ go at it on the garage floor :censor: :D

Do you want stick, mig or tig? I can't weld tig, but I have the gear if you know what you're doing. Hell, I can't weld stick or mig very well, but I have that gear too!

No skill on my part, just blind stupid, nutzo, "I'm stuck with no options and I can't believe I agreed to do this freakin' climb" limited choices. If you recall, I tried to chicken out and back down off the climb, but got hung up on my hitch (and tail pipe, and resonator, and muffler, and . . . .). However, that was before new fresh rubber and a jump in size from 32" up to 35" tires. Now I've got a chance.

1996 80-Stockish, Black and Tan, w/more mods that Miescha can ever dream of having.

Oh sure! Go right for the freakin' jugular! just rip my heart right out!
I got dreams too you know :frown: [sniff, sob] :frown:
Oh yeah, I got a lift too - and anyone who has done the birf job on jack stands CAN dream about that - they dream about it for about the next week while their back and neck and legs continue to ache :grinpimp:
 
Hey there all. I would love to be involved in using the lift and your knowledge. I ordered my axle rebuild kit with brake pads and wheel bearings yesterday and am hoping it gets here soon. Would anyone be willing to give me a hand in doing this. I am a 1/2:banana: ::wrench: and could really use the expertise of knowledgable persons that have done this before. I am still collecting tools, I think I have the majority of things that I need but never doing anything like this who really knows what I have that is useful. I would love to go with you all in april but need to get this done first. If no one is up for it I would still be up to comming and giving a hand. I would be willing to bring a few cases:beer: for the over night in April(your choices) for you help...

:cheers: all

They usually have a wrenching session a few times a year. William (Miescha) is the one who provides the facilities and he seems to be the busiest person on the planet so it sort of is planned around his schedule. Stay tuned here to see when they schedule something.

Not so much hard core as I am cheap. I can pinch a penny 'till the indian comes out ridin' the buffalo.:hillbilly:
 
Steve - Is that your 40 on CL? If so good luck!

I'm still waiting for my official schedule to come out but I'm in for the 19.

By the way. my kids loved camping last year. They loved eating outside and cooking s'mores! It was the wife that kept waking me up w/ "What was that? or What was that sound?" I got a whole lot of sleep!
 
Hello

Hello everybody, I'm a new guy from Owensville. Just bought an 87 4Runner that is essentially stock.... I need to get it out on the trails so I can start on a list of things to change! Are there any group runs in the near future (that a stocker could participate in)?

We will be heading down to SMORR in May before Moj becomes a daddy in June. We've never been there, but it's my understanding it has stock friendly trails. We will be exploring the entire area. You're more than welcome to come along. I thinking any weekend except May 9th.

Welcome! I'm about 20 minutes away from you....send me a note if you'd like to stop by sometime.

Too bad you just missed the mud-run this past Saturday (18th). Only 4 of the 4 trucks ended up with body damage :doh:

SMORR

Hey, I'd be in for a trip to SMORR! I lived down there for a few years, but haven't ever been to the park. Let me know which weekend you're thinking of, I'm pretty sure I don't have anything going except for the last week.

Here's a pic of the 4 Runner, it was warm enough to take it off for almost two hours......then it had to go back on.

Nice runner. My advice for your 1st mod would be a locker in the rear axle. It makes a world of difference. I have a source for tons of used Toyota parts and a shop that specializes in Toyota 4x4 mods when your ready to do them.

:cheers:
 
Thanks! From the playing around that I've been doing, a rear locker is definitely on the list. Where is the Yota shop at?

Jefferson County, between House Springs and Arnold. He works by Apointment only though.
