Theyd make us put a fence around the neighbor hood and hassle us about not being zoned for a junkyard!

I did forget to mention a couple things, it was cool hanging out and meeting those of you I hadn't met, it was fun finding out just how many power tools it takes to blow toads main breaker. Thanks to everyone who brought <IMG SRC="smilies/beer.gif" border="0"> <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0">

That is funny that you said/typed that because I just opened this thread and haven't even read the rest but that is EXACTLY what I was thinkin.

[Monkeyboy]

I think it took me using the 220 buzzbox
2 grinders a chopsaw and some lights on
and maybe a drill to blow the main breaker <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0">

I could be wrong... All I know was I was in the middle of running a nice bead on my steering box mount and the damn welder went dead.

Why should anyone lay down and do nothing in a tanning booth when you can build stuff and tan at the same time?

[High5]

[wngrog]

Damn,

(vehicles other than jeeps)

Cool yard!

[JoshC]

Friggin breakfast was awsome! I ate three times.

I welded for my first time. Was introduced to "grandma", the oldest fawkin air comp I have ever seen. Met good folks. Saw some VERY nice rigs... Oh shite... Did any one else help Rocktoad clean up. Sorry bro.

All you guys were great. Thanks for the great time.

I say we GET IT every Month! I can't wait to get together again for the clean up. --Josh

[Rubicrawler]

I took us a couple of hours to get rollin' but once the <IMG SRC="smilies/beer.gif" border="0"> started flowing, we got busy! It proves that "with beer, all things are possible" <IMG SRC="smilies/thefinger.gif" border="0">

Thanks for hosting the party Todd!

This friday Nick is going to drop off his Toy truck for Ryan and I to molest <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0">

Looks like it's gonna get a new transmission, bob job and some new springs.

Josh how did that tranny mount work for you?
Did you end up with any driveline vibration.
We can take it back apart and shorten the spacer if needed.

There wasn't much of a mess to pick up after everyone was gone.

Sweet! A little vibe at about 35 mph, but it went away after about 5 minutes! I guess them joints just needed to work themselves around. Rides like a fawkin Caddi! Spring over in 2 weeks. I'm gonna do the rear-end next weekend.

[welndmn]

posting my pic and video of welding up a tube d-shaft soon

[Monkeyboy]

I still owe Joe for the Driveshaft tubing he picked up for me.

Any one get any pics of the shaft. I only have pics of it in the making none of the final product <IMG SRC="smilies/frown.gif" border="0">

I wish I could help you guy's with Nick's rig. I'm headin' up to work the FOTR revegitation project this weekend. You can stop by this week and take a close look at Amanda's truck to get some ideas on the bob. I did most of the cutting with a jig-saw. Worked pretty well. You can borrow mine if you don't have one.

[Monkeyboy]

HMMMM sounds good Mark.

I might stop my after work one evening this week.

I forgot about the FOTR event this weekend.

I'm going to see if I can get out of a few dinner engangements to try to make it up for the event <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0">
