Im surprised none of you jackasses started this thread on Wednesday :flipoff2:

Not a whole lot of work this weekend. Mounted the rear bumper, the winch on Thursday before dinner

Worked for two hours on Friday. Sold the 33's as well (Saving up for 36's)

Hung out with the family and put up some X-mas lights and did some serious yard work on Saturday

Went to the dump, installed a new tool box in the truck and drank some beers with the neighbor.

It doesn't do worth a shit in the water. I did wheel it through the 1st part of the Terminators also. :D

I was supposed to go snow wheeling with Ben W but towing over the pass was out of the question. Instead went wheeling local with a bunch of friends and some I never met. Crawl Mag was along taking lots of pictures so who knows, might even be in a future issue.:cool2:

Nice!! You got to let me know the next time you go out and have a spare seat.

I broke some shit on the Con.

Took crap apart, sold crap, bought crap.

I went two three thanksgiving diners on Thursday Friday and Saturday. Mostly spent time with my wife and kids all weekend.

Sunday I hung around the house, put up the Christmas tree with the family, strung Christmas lights on the house and cleaned out part of the garage to make room for my tools when I bring them home from the shop on tuesday.

I start reporting to my unit on Wed and ship out on Saturday morning.

Worked on the new dash, repacked wheel bearings on the F350 and replaced the 120,000 mile old OEM shocks :D and all the lights and tree are up.

No pics?

prepped and re-worked the whole damn body for paint:rolleyes: pics of the nice shiny paint, pre-scratches, to come next week:flipoff2:

Worked on the scout:grinpimp: .... And put my back out for Sat night, from moving shit out of the garage.... :shaking: nice sharp pains.....

Did you break the windshield for her, too? :D

Michelle managed to get pinkeye for Thanksgiving, so I spent through Sunday morning tending to the baby and visiting family. I couldn't run out to the garage even if I wanted to, since she was hands-off per the doctor's orders..

I did get a little work done on Sunday on that RTI ramp I'd love to paint and get out of the shop..

Plated the A-arms and cut everything for the rigid-suspension. Got a few more holes to drill before I weld it in - the center hunk of 1.5 square tube will unbolt and remove to allow the A-arms to pivot up.

The to-do list seems so short, but takes so long. :D

Spent almost all day Friday in a "new" JY I found out about. Saturday I pulled the ARB out of my front D44.

I broke some shit on the Con.

We need pics. I refabbed the front fangs and unbootie fab mounted them. Got to go out and play in our first snow.

Friday: Worked

Saturday: Good buddy had the day off from "Dad Duty" so he came by to spend it with me and my roomate. Asked him what he wanted to do and his answer was "Go shooting and play video games!" So that's what we did. I got a chance to play with my new Marline 1894 and found it to be spot on at 50 yards, which I was really happy with. Spent the rest of the day just gooding around. Binderbound came by to show off a new toy, but other then that nothing but good fun.

Sunday: Got up late, fixed a big breakfast and finished the IHSTO newsletter. A week later then I wanted to, but my training schedule last week was a bitch.

Ate too much and watched football for 4 days....

Didn't even touch a tool or a truck.

Did the CPT reverse shackle on the frame. Build up thread coming in the next few weeks.

For the lazy

Looks good Chad! Keep us updated!

Nada....Scout wise. I'm kinda projected out for awhile. Need to wheel.

Drove an 07 Mustang GT....think I may have found my next commuter car once a few used ones hit the lot...

Worked an inhumane amount of hours Thurs-Sunday. Came home and looked at the scout. I got and accepted a job offer, called my boss today to give him the good news...He wasnt happy....:eek:

Weds: Drove to Yakima...Drank excessively, danced excessively, got digits from some girls.

Thurs: Ate excessively, saw one of my best friends' new baby. Went back to mothers house and continued to drink excessively.

Friday: Visited the co-moderator of this forum. Ripped apart a 454 TBI harness. Spent time with my boys, yelling and playing dad.

Evening drank excessively, did not dance...

Saturday: Installed surround sound system for my technologically challenged mother...Set all her levels for her...

Made the wise decision to leave Yakima and venture over the pass by noon...

Went on a date and played with some fake boobs Saturday night...

Sunday: Finished moving my recording equipment into spare room. Puttered around apartment trying to finish organizing paper crap.

Ate brownies and drank Chardonnay for dinner...

:grinpimp:

Played in some rocks Cal-trans left for us :rolleyes: I lost a front brake line, but was quick to get it fixed and I had brake fluid on me sooo all was well.

Bastard..... thats right where I broke that outer 60 shaft.:flipoff2:

Friday- I wheeled.
I finished relocating my trans/atlas cross member and got to go play with it in Big Bear finally. Just ran gold mountain and Jacoby canyon, mild stuff but good enough to test out the new setup.

http://offroadworld.tenmagazines.com/gallery/Rawkon/151468.jpg

bought an 88 dana 60 high pinion 4.10 for $450 pulled.
Got a free ford 460 and c6 equipped car and pulled it out and began rebuild. back at school now but the 1-ton scout swap will begin this summer.
ate turkey-got phat.

Did you break the windshield for her, too? :D

Noooooo, I paid extra for that.:D
After I did rip off part of the rear bumper on the Terminators, My Wife asked how high it would have to be lifted to clear 35s. :shaking:
So much for keeping it at stock height.
Her truck, her money.

Gen, What are you talking about a spare seat. You have a killer ride there yourself. Looks damn tough to me.:smokin:

Looks killer but it wont wheel for shit without that front d/s :laughing:

I seem to be having some problems getting it set up correctly. I need to do a little forced articulation in the drive way with the cunning use of ratchet straps and the floor jack.

Doc, how do you like those Rockers?

I like em :D ...sliders will be one on my next projects...two months ago i scraped the paint on the passenger side..:eek:

Can't have that!

Tuesday 45 mins from quitting time I got my face smashed working on a friggin hospital bed. The thing collapsed and landed on my head. So after a bit in the local ER, transfering to the Reno hospital and more CT scanning I got the good news. 1 broken nose, 8 facial fractures, collapsed orbital and something like 20+ stitches. I spent Tues-Saturday in the hospital and had facial reconstructive surgery on Friday. So the swelling that was just starting to go down was back and only could use one eye until today. I even got a new teflon implant to keep my eyeball in place. After they released me Saturday afternoon I chilled and hung out with the wife. My sister took a pic in the second ER, need to get it from her, then I'll post it.

Sunday I was still pretty woosy so the only work I did was burn some of the burn pile and play video games until my eye hurt. Then I watched the snow!

However in true workers comp fassion I cleaned the garage, moved the T19/D20 and TF727/D20 combos in the garage and moved the scrap steel pile. The 68 is coming in the garage tomorrow so I can finish the drivetrain swap that was so rudely interupted. I wont know when I can go back to work or drive until Thursday when I see the plastic surgeon again. Till then.........:evil:

Ya know, there are easier ways to get out of working than by dropping a bed on your face.....:flipoff2:

I hope there is no perminent dammage, and you heal up soon.

Fuck!!!

Kind of ironic, though, that you spent 5 days recouperating on the very device that put you there in the first place. :flipoff2:

Good eye! I was thinking about your 60 when I went through that line :flipoff2:
