They found the bleed in my small intestine, but it almost in the middle, and hard to get to. I will have my 3rd colonoscopy tomorrow.:mattmoon:

Bumper to bumper auto parts!!!!

Hey I need to add something here. As Joshua and I were pulling up to the frist stop light in springfield mo. our drake pedal went to the floor. At least we could still stop,but was pumping the pedal to do so. Stop and mcdonalds looked like the main brake line was leeking at the block where it tees off to the brakes.

So I find out there our to parts stores in town. yeah!!!

So there is Seymour auto parts and a bumper to bumper. I'm like lets use the home town auto parts. They looked at us like we had the plague(sp)! Didn't even look to see if he had a brake line.
So we walk across the street. There didn't have one but it would be in sat. morning at 7:30!! woot!woot! only going to miss Fridays night run.cool.
Pay for the new brake line and fluid and some pb blaster.

I'm so bad with names so I don't remember his,but as we were leaving he's like lets look at that again.cool!!

He says I bet it's this line that's bad not your main line. So he goes and gets the parts to splice into my bad line with a compression fitting and patched our brake line.
He did it got right under there and fixed it for me. I didn't ask him to or act like I couldn't do.He just jumped right into and did it.

Turns out he races at mokan drag-way. and we both knew and couple people in common.

Not only did he fix it for me,but wanted to refund my money for the brake line.And only charge for the other 2 Items. No way was that going to happen. Told him NO you keep that money man that's the least i could do.

So what I'm trying to get at is. If your at S.M.O.R.R And need parts or help.

Make sure you use BUMPER TO BUMPER!!! Very friendly made us feel like old friends. So a big to Seymour Bumper to Bumper auto parts.

We had a blast and are looking forward to the fall meet!!:

Well when we got back to the house the temp in the shade in the yard was reading 103 so i told jason screw this, we will charge the a/c on the ranger and you guys can take it home and we can worry about the ex later. so the a/c should be freezeing tiff out by now, but she did say the a/c could never be to cold lol, so what was my rescue prize two happy campers and 3 hand shakes and nothing better than returning the help all the guys gave me yesterday down in the creek bed i'll take a look at the ex this week and see what i can find or drive it over the a tranny shop and see what they can find-out. Let me know when you make it home

and send me your # as i forgot to get it,

Update? Jasons rig fixed and back home? Steves rig back home?

What was the prob with Jasons rig? Who fixed it?

 

[petzl90]

Looks Like yall had alot of fun, and got out with only "some" damage. I would have loved to go but, my X is a 2wd daily driver. Im pretty sure I would get stuck, alot. So ill just stick with the mud holes that pop up around here after it rains .

I asked Jason about it yesterday and he still didn't know whats wrong with it.

 

[gmanpaint]

Found a little more carnage from this meet.

The dr side shock bearing on the top mount is broken. The pass side snap rings came off.

I'm glad the rig hasn't been moved since it has been back. Time for some interweb shopping....lol

Also some new trail badges from Yellow Jacket trail. 1st time on this trail and I have to say it is a doosey of a trail, tighter than most out here.
