Waiting on carb parts(stupid weber), but I'll get her up there somehow.
The clamp and rubber hammer trick has worked so far.

Jeff. Big fire Jeff. Then I'm gonna find some coal to throw in it. Then I'm sleeping in my truck, after I get stinking drunk.

 

[Wayneraintree]

Better bring some wood, I am out! or we'll scavange....

Sleeping in the truck occured to me as well. Sounds like a plan.... wagons are quite useful for that reason alone : )

 

[CJBury]

I think Jim is bringing his chain saw. I don't think that wood will be a problem.

Sounds like a hoot, guys. Nothin' like winter bonfire drinkin'. We could quote some big words. I'll be working on my truck, though. Doing some more PM this weekend and then next week is the front axle rebuild. cruiser dan likes me right now.

so far:

plugs, wires, rotor, dist. cap, 1/2 the O2 sensors, and front springs swapped (truck sits level now.)

next:

the other 1/2 of the O2 sensors, starter rebuild, CDL switch and Pin 7, and checking out the slow rear diff lock.

then:
front axle rebuild and changing diff and Tcase fluids.

after:
flog it.

Well, it is looking like I won't be able to make this ride, way too much other stuff going on. Have fun everyone and I guess we'll see you at the next meeting.

 

[Straydog]

Im screwed too. Have to work.

I was glad to wake up this morning and see all my fingers and toes weren't black and ready to fall off. Super cold but a good time. Glad to see some new faces on the trails.

That is one of the coldest camping trips in my memory. The wind, our old friend wind, kept us a good 5ft. away from the fire even though it was raging....

It was beautiful in the woods, hooked up well until it started to melt afternoon. It was great to get out! Thanks to everyone who came and I'll post up a few pics soon. We took it easy, no carnage....

Thankfully, I didn't camp out, but it was a good day of wheeling. Ended up buying a set of 5 MTRs . . . lost about 10lbs of pressure between the park and home.

Thanks for the tour guys, it was a good time.

 

[Wayneraintree]

sweet MTR's man... now we need a pic or two of your fine rig on the new meats...

 

[racefanmartin]
