bah, dangit i already got somethin for the 18th to the 20th

i knew i shoulda wrote it down when you mentioned it last time

I'll try to make it. I'd like to see the ECTR guys again. My Libby should be a little more capable this time. I should have my back bumper done by then (with integrated air tanks). Front bumper is almost complete (got my shackles and hoop left, shackles go on tomorrow). I would also like to get some more tires/rims and my lockers in, but I can go without them if I have to. Seems like I have been talking about lockers for a year, but I really had no need for them until Uwharrie opened back up.

darn cant make this one either, gonna be in utah for a while. after utah and b4 i deploy i need to make atleast one kj trip

OK. I'm officially in for the 16th through the 19th (Probably won't show up until that Friday though)

My lockers have been ordered and are on the way. I'll have them installed by then.
Front bumper is done. Except paint, but it is primered, which is OK.
Winch is mounted. Has wire cable on it. I'm buying synthetic. Hopefully it'll get here by then. If not, I'm fine with wire.

All that's left to do to the Libby is the rear bumper and an SFA. With 35's of course.

I'll be taking a 6X10 trailer if anyone needs me to haul anything from Rocky Mount, NC to make room in their rig.

woohoo no utah, i may be bale to go, ohv_kj ill call ya this weekend

rescu2000 · **Posted:** Thu Mar 26, 2009 8:18 pm

My Aussie Locker is here. TrueTrac is on the way. I should have both installed by next weekend at the latest. That should make me a little more capable than last time. I would like to have a little more ground clearance though. I've lost some with the extra weight of the bumper, winch, skid row skid, and rock rails. I found myself draging in places I had not previously had problems last time and that was just with the rock rails and Super Skid.

I see a SFA in my future, but I'd like to wait until the RL kit releases and I can do it myself. I'm not a fan of paying $3,000 for labor :roll:

Update: Aussie is installed, rear bumper is 90% complete (it is mounted and functional, just not prettied up)., and DTT is sitting on my workbench in a box. I'll get it in this weekend.

Sounds like it's going to be a great setup.

rescu2000 · **Posted:** Thu Apr 09, 2009 9:41 pm

Got the Jeep back together. Looks like there is a good chance of rain next weekend though. That's gonna suck for the camping. May make the trails more fun though.

Just got back from Uwharrie. Had a blast, but I got a little body damage (from being clumsy), popped a bead, and broke a CV Axle. I pulled the axle and headed home, but got two good days in.

The body damage came from dropping my spare on the side of the jeep taking it off the roof. Two little dents.

Broke the CV axle at the bottom of Daniel.

I did go up Kodiak Rock though. The right-hand side of it. (no... not the bypass, LOL)

Glad you had fun.

Currently, I can't open the engine hood. Apparently the release cable doesn't have enough tension or something. *sigh*
