We got the same problem up Palisades in HI. It can be beautiful outside and As soon as you gather your parts, tools and have the LC up in the air the RAIN decides it's a good time to POUR DOWN!!! luckily you have the easy up.. Good luck with your project and may the sun shine down on you!!!!

Good job guys!

Does that mean the pot might ride be at Logan's Run? If so, I wanna go on the maiden voyage with Meatball! Liz can ride with me.. ;)

Not sure why, but Meatball reminds me of a little trailer park kid during the middle of the summer all wet, barefoot, and dirty. Hehe. Good stuff guys! Hope y'all got it done and ready to roll.

:beer: R
 
Hopefully we can get the rear done quickly this AM. That's if I can get Johnny up and out of bed.

Meatball
 
Make sure you read... and understand ... the directions before getting to work on your rear end! Now get to it, looks like you got a 5 hr window of no rain

Looks like fun… er progress at least. Dont forget the shocks!

Wish I coulda made it but i got a deadline to move a truck here and the rain certainly didnt help here either. I am a bit jealous of that canopy though, my easy up isn't enough to cover the truck and workspace with it coming down this hard.

SO, How many days does it take Meatball and Co to change out some springs ?????????
 
I think that depends upon :beer::beer::beer: consumption...

Lol, yeah. We got the front end done yesterday but ran into a couple of hiccups along the way which delayed us. Ended up calling it a day around 5 so we could relax for a while, then we went out for dinner.

The rear is being done as I type this :D
 
We finished the rear springs up early today. Went much easier then the front. Many years of rust were attacked with pb blaster and a big hammer.

The crockpot now sits a lot taller! Still fits in the garage just barely.

Thanks Johnny for all the help. Everything went pretty smooth except for the run yesterday making stuff miserable.
Will post some pics later

Congrats Adam! I'm glad to hear today went much better. I look forward to seeing it in person (and hopefully on the trails).
 
Johnny is the man! Could not of done it with out you! I owe you some more seafood! :)

Meatball
 
Hell no I'm not driving it to Logan's run. It will be on a trailer.

For people with small cruiser budget it takes awhile to save $$$ for parts and materials.

Still have a few things to do before Logan's run.

C'mon man I drove a pig with a 1F and 9'' of lift to tellico and cullowhee..... but it did come back on a trailer once .... oops :)


Nice work. Make a list of the extra to dos and plug away until your done.
I unashamedly stole JC's garage greaseboard list idea.... though when you list it all out it can get a little overwhelming. Not sure if you got you shocks yet but if not and you get a chance to measure compressed and extended lengths let me know as I still got some HFS shocks here NIB

and I hear you on the budget..... this motor was may's project put on hold till funds and time was available. But the little stuff is adding up fast..... 1xx in paint and sanding, 30 in fittings, 38 in hoses.....
and then there are the surprises you werent planning on. steering fittings, driveshaft flanges, vacuum fitting interferences. its a good thing we supposedly enjoy this sort of challenge :D

Hope the rest is smooth sailing for you and looking forward to seeing the new and improved crockpot.
