Going wheeling with my other club next weekend in southern VT(Marlboro area). Does anyone know if there still snow on the ground or its gonna be mudfest by next Saturday?

The snow is all gone. It will still be quite wet in places.

Hello....elllo....elllo...ello....ello.....

Where'd everyone go? Under your rigs? Or did the new mud scare em away? Still waiting on the app to work?

Oh yeah! Where's the urinal going?

 

[scrowley]

Nice. new garage? I love that first day of framing. Always cool to see how fast a building can go up. Was that one day of labor with 3 guys?

 

[Leaping Deer]

There are plenty of trees and frog pond out back. No need for a urinal. Lol

Yeah I need more space and a place to work. I think it was 4 guys. Worked from about 9:30 to about 4. The moved real quick. Nice be able to walk inside and get an idea of the size.

 

[Wrench]

Nice! I'm jelly.

 

[landtank]

Glad Chris is jelly, not that I know how that impacts you J.

Do you have a lift going in the bay on the left? 2 floors or 1 1/2? Gable roof, gambrel, flat or? Post up some blue print pics.

 

[Leaping Deer]

Yeah going to go vaulted ceilings over the bay on the left for a lift. Doors aware 8x9 and 8x16

Looking good!

^^^^^ Yeah "for now" seems to always be short lived ...haha.

Hopefully the new ATV trails will evolve into more OHV trails in the future. Not in CT but in MA would be great. Lots of land in MA. I used to reg. my quad in MA which offered a lot of local trails in the Otis area. I stopped riding due to no places to ride in CT. The situation has myself and family looking into moving west in the future. Also to run from the cold. Seems like the outdoors is more offered to the public. Motorized vehicles are not banned like a cult like New England. Aw well. All and all if I stay here in the long run I will def own a large piece of land so I can tread hard on it and not be punished. I was able to use all of the local land growing up and had a blast. Best place to grow up. I am just hoping my son has the same oppurtunity's as I had.

I was in VT last week buying a dirt bike. Listening to the local news they announced that it was now Mud Season and, therefore, HIKERS were no longer allowed to be on state trails until Memorial Day Weekend!

So, do you think wheelers have a chance in the People's Republic of VT going forward in the future?

thepinktaco...Do you work at the dealer? If so how often you getting 04's in for bad front cats/header? I bought mine with the code. I put in new rear 02's with no luck. The truck is mint and I would love to keep it but this seems to be a big $ fix. Any info would be sweet. Hijack over. Thnx.

Ive done a few of them, not that common though.

Good to know. There were some I looked at where I could have pulled a tow loop off with my bare hand. This one is is pretty good shape, and the rest of the frame is very, very solid.

Had one like that a few months ago. Guy was working on it, I came up and went to hold myself on the tow hook and almost fell over when the hook came off in my hand.

my wife has a 2003, should I look anywhere special for a frame problem? Already replaced the front skid plate as it was rotted to hell.

Front cross member where the skid plate bolts to, usually right in the corners. Also just like the older 4runners near lower link mount in the rear.

 

[Leaping Deer]

Getting there.

 

[scrowley]

Nice Leaping Dear. That will be a nice work shop.
