Spring wheeling trip at SMORR

[SVO42]

Do what you have to do to make it! Louis and Clark carried their boats till they got back to water, they didnt give up! Neither shall anymore of us!

Sorry, I feel better..lol!

I'm related to Clark. I'll be there. :

I still have several things that have to be done before i leave on this trip. I need to change the oil, check all the other fluids, change the fuel filter, tighten the front wheel bearings, and grab my spare parts that i think i need.

 

[techieman33]

Well we've had a little set back but the head is already back on it, so it shouldn't keep us from smorr (knocks on wood)

 

[crazyflights]

Well, id have to say i might be on the top of the list for having the most to do to my rig still to get ready. heres a breif
Install 1354 t-case,
Build drive shafts
Finish frontend, waiting on correct center pin for my lock right
Bleed brakes
Instal new u joints in all the front axle shafts
do the axle shaft mods to allow me to use Spicer 760 u joints with full clips
Bolt in rear shocks correct length
hook up c/b
build front bumper to use my winch
bolt on tow hooks
fix radio
change pass side valve cover gasket
and other little crap

but here in 2hrs, i have 4days off work and plan on working on it untils its ready. Then i'll be :rangertan:

Taking the scenic route? That sounds like fun to me! Take a bunch of pics of stuff. Like worlds biggest stuff. Balls of yarn, High chairs, stick-o-butter! LOL!

Verizon is here, so you will have internet.

[crazyflights]

I made good progress today!
will finalize most things tommorow
Big to do's are transfer case/driveshafts
find what sensor causes weird running at times
Rest is little things, will be completed sunday, and taking it for testing on Monday
This is as much as i could get with a block and my jack flexing it out, i was very pleased, and it still wanted to go more.

 

[Turdle]

Chocdile, yes
At least you got the important things---

We should have room, and, I could use an experienced rider or 2. Us old folks can hang out together and get laughed at.
