Sorry I couldn't get back to help out - no tail lights and it was too late. I passed on complete sets of both 11 and 12 mm knuckle studs and related parts - hoping you found the bearing somewhere? I'll be adding one from the parts pile at home to the trailer parts for future needs...
 
From my understanding - we left Jerry and Bob with 3 FJs on lower 2. They were going to be all day and I had to run upper 2, drop Dave back at McNabb, pick up Henry, blitz 6 up to 4 and over on 8 to 9 - nailed slick rock and caught part of the UC group. Then back out - it was a loooooooooong day of blitzing some fun trails. No breakage and some hard obstacles.

Anyways - I get back to camp and a couple of the FJ fella's were waiting to see if I had spare knuckle studs as Jerry had busted his passenger side steering arm off. I had both 11mm and 12 mm studs, cone washers and nuts - but no bearing. Just want to know if he managed to get it up to the top of 2 and onto a trailer or not....
 
Bearing got messed up when the steering arm came out?

Yikes!

I never thought to carry spares for that.

Sounds like you were all over the trails. Must have been a good time.

You came out clean this time?

Clean as a whistle, well not including body damage :D. Smashed the right front hood hold down on the rock sticking out of the bank on the big upper 2 obstacle (note - the bank is really getting dug out and a bit more confined - I had to walk up the middle of the rock - and was impressed that my 40 did it). Also got one new small right rear dent from the same obstacle. Mechanically solid - what a great trip!!!

Yes - I'll went and found an old one the other night - gonna clean that up and mayber even a few wheel bearings and toss them in the parts boxes. This was the first time in years that I didn't have a rare or odd part on the trailer that somebody was looking for...

Let me know when you're down in Jupiter visiting - you'll have to stop by.

As a matter of fact...

I'll be getting in late tomorrow night. I have Friday and Monday off.

Going to clean out Dad's garage and then reorganize it so he can get around in it easier.

Alert the locals - let's all go out for dinner and drinks or something. Saturday night?

Ummmm, well yeah - I kinda have plans, not a date per se, so don't be going around giving me a bad image there Jim :flipoff2:. Hammer out a plan and I'll try and meet up with ya'all. I will definitely be home first thing Sat. morning as I'm getting some, ahem, some Land Rover parts delivered to the house :D.
 
I'm going to see what's going on for Friday and Saturday nights.

I'm heading south after work today. Probably be in to Jupiter around 10-11 pm.

What do you guys' schedules look like?

Where is a good place to get some grub and just hang out and shoot the breeze?
 
Will be on vacation and around home Friday...

No can do as of now - things change, but have plans :beer::flipoff2::beer: - where's the chick symbol :D.

Sat. early is good for me - maybe try to break free Sat. night.

Tons of places to meet up - depends where you wanna be - Clematis for Guiness, Lake Worth for Guiness, etc. etc.
 
Okay - looks like I am busy on Saturday night too.

Who can get together Friday? Pete - Jim?
 
Can do Friday . . .

You have my cell # . . .

let me know....
 
Pete - I'll give you a call today.

Bill and Jim - breakfast or lunch tomorrow (saturday)?
 
Bill,

I was the FJ'r on the parts run last Saturday. I had to split at 9 to get back to FL but, I did speak with Bob and they drove his 40 back to the base of 2 and put it on his trailer & then took it apart and got Jerry's 40 off of 2. I think they got back to Crawford's by 2 AM Sunday tired but, full of memories. Karl
 
Hey Karl - was nice to meet you. Thanks for running the parts over to Jerry. Yeah he had several adventures on that one. E-mailed to say he's ordered the six shooters and matching 4x4 arms from Luke - he should be bulletproof in a few more weeks time...
