Things to do before GSMTR 2014

[htburnett]

Figured I would start another one since we had one last year.

1 Install some sliders

2 Install on board air system

3 I already done this, but get matching tires finally.

This is just the short list.

I need to:

-finish my cargo box/sleeping platform
-install rear Aussie locker
-oil change

I'll be running trails without a winch and rear bumper this year, and hopefully by next year I'll be more set up! I feel good about wheeling my rig as it sits, though...

Install roof rack so I can finally mount the awning I bought last year. Ordered the rack last week and spent a few hours today removing the stock rack. What a PITFA ass that was. 15ft of 3mm thick foam double sided tape. Found a few threads on using an iron to heat it up and peel it off. Took a couple hours but got it off, then Goo Gone to get the rest. Picked up some M5 cap screws and neoprene washers to plug the 17 nutserts...well the one I didn't have to rip out of the sheet metal cause they were just spinning. Gonna JB weld those and just RTV over everything. Only had to grind one bolt so that was a plus

Figure out why the front locker won't re-engage, may have to pull the mechanism and have a look. It was basically locked up since one of the cove runs last fall. Finally popped out last weekend while climbing a hill in the Sequatchie Valley.

Pull the front bumper/winch and figure out how I managed to fawk up reinstalling the motor when I replaced it after The Trail 16 fiasco last year. It works, but makes a funny noise that can't be good.

Plan the route for the expedition run. Got the majority of it, but need to figure out day 1/2

I finally bought some Canvak for my soft top and need to get it put on to water proof it. Maybe I can save a few pieces of glass this time.

i hope to install 4.88s. we will see if i make it. otherwise i'm ready to go.

FJ-60. Replace harmonic balancer , fix small rear axle oil leak,
install new seat covers.
IH -find and fix A/C leal
Camper -fix awning, fix tire with screw in it. Install new floor mats

GSMTR- complete 2 page list.

One I could use help with is a set of suggested day rides for various levels of trucks. If you have a favorite days ride send me the list of trails and minimum requirements, ie one locker and 33 " tires. And other relevant comments

Trail 16 is pretty cool . But seriously 22 is my favorite

 

[htburnett]

I'll lead 16 this time since it is lucky NOT. I would not care to do 22 and I'm sure Jason would be willing to also. I can't remember what we did so many times last year after 22, 15 maybe?

 

[Tennessee80]

Let's do ALL of the ATV trails, ha ha

 

[RSHARPfzj80]

Was trail #12 (ATV ONLY)the one we did at the annual?

 

[jason in tn]

I know we wound up on a couple atv only a at the annual but I don't remember the #s

I'm on the hunt to find some regular old Left Hand Milk Stout Beer for GSMTR . Can't find it in Knoxville anymore. I've got Todd Shirley on the lookout since he is a Left Hand drinker himself. NOT the Nitro but the one with a purplish/blue cow on it. Reply back if anyone happens to see it. Thanks Rance

Surely somewhere down here has it. The handling fee is quite steep though.

 

[Tennessee80]

I'll bring some, Rance! I've got it at my local grocery about 1/4 mike from my house, I believe...

Cheers, joel
