Redline Tech Meeting

[CO_Hunter]

How about rear bearings on the 80s? Been thinking of hosting a bearing party sometime soon anyhow.

I'd like to help with that so I can learn the procedure. Perhaps we can schedule a special Saturday tech meeting. Not sure we can use the Redline Facility so may need an alternate shop.

You are more than welcome to come over if you want.

Oh... and if we want a low key "Tech Night", (maybe before the Christmas Tree Runs) we could watch my copy of Bill Burke's "Getting UNStuck". Good video with good info. (http://www.4x4books.com/bbgus.htm)

Some popcorn, soda pop, and a 4X4 video... what could be better?

I would like to watch this video at a meeting, Travis.

I've heard good things about this stuff: http://www.rescuetape.com/

Keep a roll in the truck, but haven't had to try it yet.

I keep a roll of this in my tool bag, as well. I wonder if we could do some sort of test with the stuff for a tech night. Maybe test with a sliced inner tube and see if it can be inflated after repair? I am curious if the stuff will really hold up on a busted coolant hose or similar repair.

Here's what's left of Doug's first list:
Trail Side repairs
Battery Welding
Brake replacement
Front Axel rebuild
Valve adjustment

When thinking of a tech night idea, I think we should keep in mind that Justin works really hard and has a little kiddo waiting at home for him.

I'm not sure what kind of trail side repairs we might do for a tech night, but we might want to be specific. The other options on the list are good, but might be tough to do in the time we have available during a meeting.
