: Saturday Wheeling Preview
Hooper 10-25-2002, 01:41 PM So,
Who is wheeling, who is wrenching, and who is being domestic?
Several Washington Wheelers are heading for Evans Creek tomorrow. It is usually mud and muck, but it has been dry for a while, so it might not be too bad. Long drive though. An hour and a half on the freeway. Should be nice scenery though. Right on the shoulder of Mt. Rainier.
TxScout 10-25-2002, 01:57 PM Wrenching Saturday, trying to finish up my new crossmember, preparing for Barnwell Mnt. next weekend. I might wheel on Sunday. This new punk with an H2 thinks he can out wheel anyone in the club, so I might give it my all if he doesn't chicken out. Sounds like fun!:rolleyes: :D
T1H5_TA3 10-25-2002, 02:16 PM domestic, the old lady booked reservations on orcas isle. for the weekend..

Nice place. A little out of my budget though. One night for two is almost as much as an ARB...

won't take much to out-wheel one of those things... the original hummer were prety impressive, if the owner was willing to scratch them, the new ones.... look alot more yuppy than function....
wonder if they have anything like the Hummer traction control options....
RustoleumWhite 10-25-2002, 03:10 PM Wrenching/Domestic
All outside oriented wheeling/wrenching related. Moving my storage container, which means unload, move, strip and paint the inside, and do load calcs and design for the I-beam and the axle rack, then re-load (be happy to get the moving painting done).
Plus I got some work to do on the 80, the new tub, the wheeling truck, the t-lette, get my car ready to sell.......
you know, typical sh*t. Running out of "nice" weekends, and this one is supposed to be.
Plenty of time to wheel in the rain (I'm used to it)

E-lockers. Doesn't matter, his wheelbase/suspension geometry/width will be his undoing...

IH Diesel Power 10-25-2002, 03:46 PM I spent the last day or so removing the fenders, doors, top, seats, inner fenders, dash, hood, and grille from my trail-rig project.
Going to cut the rockers out of it tomorrow. :D

Nice. But, I have spent more money on furniture than I care to think.... Lots of truck toys sitting around the house these days, it is just that they are in the shape of couches, tables, beds, etc.
The painting came out very well. I will take some digi's this weekend and post em next week.
I'd like to see what you have done to your rig. Time to get it out and get it dirty!!!
Scoutaholic 10-25-2002, 05:06 PM Goin wheelin.:D All that other stuff can wait.
iscout62 10-25-2002, 05:43 PM Funny... I was there on the 4th of july! :)
:D

It's like wheeling a Suburban...only I think they're heavier.
tsm1mt 10-25-2002, 10:15 PM Saturday I'll be wrenching - put a starter in Oscar and get to finishing stripping the parts 200 4x4.. since I may have to go get ANOTHER parts 4x4 200.. *sigh* Sucks, don't it?
Sunday is the opening of rifle season.. might take my gun for a walk.
Mark - you going to get a race rig together one of these years or what?
We're racing on February 8th. You need an excuse to come this way, dontcha? :D
Will be spending both days this weekend bending, welding and putting in a brand new floor board and tube the rear half of the body- got to get it done before snow! Domestic work for sure
HarleyM 10-26-2002, 07:10 AM Might get a chance to check out the new axles for the scout today, and figure out if I need any other parts before starting on swaping them in. Sunday, hope to fill the freezer for the winter and play with the new -06.
harkinoff 10-26-2002, 08:13 AM get the new warn 9500ti finished and put my new axle shafts in, no wheelin this weekend:D
snoop dogg 10-26-2002, 09:30 AM Fri- Watched my friends get drunk, and played jokes on them.
Sat- Auburn vs. LSU, then a party after that
Sun- Some wrenchin':D
My front 60 comes in monday, yippeeeeeeeeee!
Scoutillac 10-26-2002, 08:45 PM Friday...Worked on the mulletmobile, got it road worthy, tuned it.
Saturday....Logged 100 miles on the mullet mobile. Ran it through it's paces, broke 100mph a few times, had fun terrorizing I5:D As soon as the dist is recurved it will be perfect. Got some balljoints while I was out, replaced the pass side in the scout again. Did some basic maitenance BS and put it on the trailer.
Sunday...Last day to play at WV for a while, so I'm gonna beat the rig hard:flipoff2:
