so who is interested? and where do you want to go?
 
I'm probably available, and open for wherever. I'd be happy to lead a run in the Puerco, if anybody wants a preview for the night run, especially for those folks who haven't been before.

Or is there a way to combine a run with "Steve's Lumber Emporium"? Maybe not if people have trailers, etc, but I don't know for sure. I don't need wood (we have a pellet stove), but I'd tag along if people want to add a run to the day.

Or I'm also open for other suggestions...
 
It sounds like a Puerco run - How about meeting at the end of Southern around 9:00 AM this Sunday, November 11th? Anyone is welcome. Depending on what other's schedules look like, I'd suggest wheeling around out there for a bit and planning to be done by early afternoon.

I'll be there.
 
Anybody else up for some wheeling in the Puerco tomorrow? So far, it's just me and Slimbuddha, and Dirty Harry's a maybe. We're going to meet out at the end of Southern at 9:00.

My cell is 238-7226, if you need to get in touch at the last minute tomorrow morning, or we'll be on Channel 40 while we're out there.

Harry - if you're coming, I'll be in the dark green 80 and Ron has the black 100. What would you be driving?

One more for the Puerco run. I will be in the 4runner.

Onur -

I've been following your rebuild thread. Congrats on getting the head removed, and it's good to see that your HG didn't show signs of imminent failure. I'd like to see mine go a lot further before needing replacement. It sounds like your job at American is really going to pay off. You may never see a paycheck, but you'll have a big pile of parts to show for your efforts!

We'll be thinking about you while we're out on the trail.

Thanks Evan...

I could have easily gone for another 50-75K miles (probably), but at almost 200K miles of tough living with a nut like me behind the wheel, I owe it to my cruiser to treat her right and do a good job with this rebuild...

I know Beo said not to tease Beno but that quote amuses me..... :D

Ya know, sometimes it's fun being a mod and being able to view what folks delete. :grinpimp:

Yep. I thought better of that post after I remembered that he works at AmToy and my prices *might* fluctuate depending on the ferocity of my posts. That and he has access to those damn knitting needles.

I need someone to pick on since Greg is hurtin' and all. Wouldn't be fair to slap him around for a few more days. :D

While I might work at AT, I have no hand in sales, MUD stuff, or anything. You are still at Dan's mercy for that stuff.

I just put parts away (and judging from this past Friday's inventory, not very well...:frown:).

So, continue making fun of me. I can handle it.

Back to the topic at hand (not that it isn't fun to bash Beno), we had a great time wheeling yesterday. A beautiful day - it could have been mid-September instead of November. One more chance to wear shorts.

We had five trucks show up. Eric Neimeyer in his Proffitt's-built 40 (very nice if you haven't seen it, 3FE with a 5 speed), Ron's black 100, Rudy in his 4Runner, Harry and friends in their 80 (used to be Harry's) and me in my 80.

We did the usual route through the wash and ran the normal obstacles. There seem to be more and more trashed vehicles out there every time I go. We passed a (used to be nice) Grand Cherokee that was trashed and full of bulletholes - this one was rare because it hadn't been torched yet.

Harry is working on an "80 vs. 100" compare and contrast article for 4WD Toyota owner magazine. He took some nose-to-nose pictures of Ron's 100 and his old 80. Should be an interesting article.

Nothing too major to report - just had a fun day wheeling. I got my rig pretty well stuck trying a new (to me) obstacle, but luckily Eric was able to pull out the 80 with a strap from his 40. Rudy had some rear bumper damage to his stock bumper - time for a new beefy one.

We're all warmed up for the moonlight run next week!
