DIS, you should snag that chair, you would be a real cool cat if you had it. That's unless you and Hooder are staying in the honey moon sweet again.:flipoff2:

There's a possibility that I can make it out... I've got Saturday/Sunday off, but I'm not sure if the girlfriend has other plans for me. I would like to come out Friday night, and leave Sunday noonish. When is everybody else planning on leaving?

http://www.weather.com/weather/local/USCA1274?GO=GO Cool, wet rocks, guess I'll have to leave the top on :(:(.

John and I will try to make it out there late Friday afternoon (after making our family rounds) with the new Bronco.

I'm there on Saturday for sure, maybe Friday if I'm lucky :D

well i've made an executive decision:


i am NOT going!

reason: would put me tight on cash and i am not driving 22 hours by my self!

sorry guy's would love to test the new truck out with ya, but i'm not up for the drive!

Looks like I'll be there Friday night with Ramstein. DSI, come awwwnnnn!! You know you want to! Fawk the money!

Lot's of time to register. I don't think that the forms are even available until after the first of the year. But mark your calendar for the first weekend in March, DAMMIT!

Leaving for the Hammers in just a few shorrt hours:flipoff2:

Dave, email me your name and address and I'll forward it to
our registration chairman and he'll mail you the forms. They're
mailed out right around Jan. 1st.

You axelsnappers a few of us will be heading out on friday morning from the Camarillo area and Ventura. We will also be heading home on Sunday around noonish. We will keep a lookout for you guys.

See Ya :D

Tin Bender and I are leaving in few short hours, someone said it's going to rain like an MF. Can't wait...

TIN:skull:BENDERS

I hope not... No top on the Ramstein buggy. Weather forecast says no rain. See ya tomorrow night. :D

Hammers rocked and there was some good breakage, we also had the chance to meet and wheel with some good people from the board.:)

Yep, we had a great time... Not enough wheeling, but still a lot of fun. Good to meet ya Fatkid!

Nice meet'n ya guys, that sucks you broke early in the day. The Zuk had a rough weekend so it's time to start rebuilding. See ya next time...:bender:

I had to pour concrete on the jobsite, on yesterday to make up time from raindays early in the week. I get my hydraulic steering dialed in, moved my steering box forward, and we pointed the motorhome down the road just before noon yesterday. Then I got a call that the wet lands on my jobsite, was overflowing with unacceptable amounts of silt, into the stream system, so back we went. At that point I wasnt gonna drive 24 hours there and back for 1 day of wheelin, like last time. To make matter worse, I was gonna head out to Hollister this morning, but got a call from Rite Aid, that another contractors scaffolding had blown down in the wind storms, in the middle of downtown Sacto, so I had to put together a crew and go take care of that mess.
Im gonna try to get up to Fordyce maybe tommorrow morning, maybe get one day of wheeling out of what wa supposed to be a 4 day weekend.:crybaby2:
Glad you guys had fun, how did Camos rig work?

Camo threw a Rod, desertoy's buggy work flawlessly as did CentralCoastMike. The Zuk did well, had a tough time on Jack with out power steering though. Suck you had to work, whens the next time your heading down to the Hammers?:)

I dunno, whenever anyone is gathering down there I guess.
I was really looking forward to running Jack with new 105" wheel base, and the hydraulic ram dialed in. Also the CTM joints, I was gonna confirm whether or not they really are indestructable. Oh well I gotta take care of work too, or I wont even be able to afford playing with the toys.

And I ended up on my side, then my roof, then my other side, then my wheels all at once. Broke the driver's side birf, and snapped the passenger side axle at the birf. Still don't know if it's the locker or not :D:D:D:D:D:D. Nica broke both birfs and maybe the Detroit coming back down.

so thats where he went. we were wondering what took you guys so long.

make sure to post them roll pics when the guy sends them to ya.

how was the drive home in the smashed junk?

Todd, you scared the crap out some of us. Good thing you had a seat belt on and the kids were watching from the side lines.:)

YEAH WHAT HE SAID!!:eek:
It was good run'n with you..... I'm sure it'll come back bigger and better......

For those that were not there, I managed to do a 360 barrel roll, sideways down JackHammer. I think the front diff is broke, went over getting it turned around. First time I've ever rolled a rig, took out both front fenders, rear quarters are damaged, partially crushed the cab, wasted the windshield, and didn't break the sunroof!!!! I did get a small cut and bump on my noggin, but that's harder than the sheetmetal.

I got it back into camp about an hour after you guy's left. Nica broke his birfs right about the same spot I went over. First the left, then the right 20 feet later. I hilifted the cab back into place, taped the windshield, strapped the top on it, and drove it home today. The drive was good, kept it down to about 60 to avoid drawing attention to it. Tracked nice and straight, so I think it's just the body that took the hit. I'll be taking it down to check it out anyway.

As far as the kids, if it starts to get hairy, they come out. It's a whole lot easier to take a little grief and pain, than to give to the kids !!!!

I'll be back, it'll be awhile because I ain't do it with out a tow rig, but I'll be back. I'm already kicking ideas through my head:D:D:D:D.

Pictures will be forthcoming when I get them. Also got to get my red star :D:D.

You need some tube...:smokin:

hey todd.. if there is anything that I can do being as i live in oceanside. i could come down on the weekends and help, my inlaws live in spring valley.. just let me know.. ill be glad to help...

Also Todd I know you have a bunch of friends up here in the cental valley if they have any parts you need delivered to you I will going back down to San Diego around the 21st of december. I know it is a while away but may be able to help you out somehow.

Matt

hey matt, when you come in dec, maybe you could come over and visit tammy and I... we dont get much company.... :flipoff2: :flipoff2:

sounds like I missed some good fun... oh well, next time... hoping for New Years at Truckhaven, but its not looking good financially, plus I rearranged my face on Friday, so that will prob set me back a week or 2 working on my motor...oh well, such is life..


Glad you guys had fun and no one got hurt...


:usa:

Truck Haven for New Years huh?

todd not sure if i will have anything ya need but let us know what kinda parts are needed to get ya back on the trail and wheeling. i am sure we can scrounge up some spares.

I will see what I can do maybe a truckhaven run or los coyotes (always fun in the snow:D ) What I could use some help in is figuring out why My truck runs like crap when cold and bogs super bad. Yeah I am to cheap to pay to have the computer scanned. Do you know how to do it with out the fancy machine thing. I will let you know :flipoff2: :flipoff2:

Matt

hey matt, i might be able to get my hands on a scanner.. and then we can run it and see if there are any codes....

Sounds good I will let you know when I get back down there for christmas break.

I'll be alright as far as parts, just need to save up for a tow rig. The scariest part to me was having to worry about getting my kid's home after the roll. Thanks for all of the offers, if I do need something I'll get it out here on the board. My thoughts right now are to find a cab and front clip from a pickup, swap that on, then flatbed the rear (saw one in our local truck trader a couple of weeks ago, 82 needs work, $395.00) Maybe design it with some seats in the back for passengers. Whichever way I go, it'll be fully caged :D:D:D:D.

I still can't get over how the driver's side birf didn't break, but the axle broke at the c-clip in the birf :D:D:D.

Well Todd. Sounds like you had a hell of a weekend. If you
need some help, let me know.
