Weekend report 29-30 - Pirate4x4.Com : 4x4 and Off-Road Forum

Urban Wheeler · 04-30-2006, 06:32 PM

Saturday I built a bumper. 4x2x1/4, tabs are 5x3x1, go all the way through and are welded on both sides. Since I don't own any high tech tools I used my angle grinder and stick welder to build it, including all the cutting, probably about 5 or 6 cutting blades, and a little help from the chop saw. Now I just have to figure out how I want to mount it to my Scout. If I want it on the outside of the body

I'd have to make some frame extensions. I'll think about it during the week.

My stick welding isn't the prettiest.

Saturday night I went to this girls house who I haven't seen in ten years. Now she's sending me lovey dovey emails and I don't know how or when to break her heart.

I don't think I'll let things go too far.

Today I got up[ late from a late night (see above) and drove across the state to pick up my brother from Guard drill, dropped off some gears at ChiScouter's house, (clean out your pm box) and that was about it. 330 miles later I back home cussing at theis stupid computer for not letting me upload pics to post.

ih4ever · 04-30-2006, 06:41 PM

shit 330 miles from a girl is a long way off... my only luck this weekend was a volleyball ref hittin on me, both friday at my brothers game and on sat. at his tournament... shit i gotta go for this, im not even tryin, shes doing all the flirtin

well all i did this weekend was take off the bed of my torched scout and moved the frame off the wooden blocks and have it leanin up against the fence...

paid 1,971.95 for my big whoops into my moms caddy, and now she noticed another paint krinkle, and so now she HAS to take it back, i hate this shit, she thinks im fuckin made of money

doesnt she know i own a fuckin scout

who knows how much repainting the whole front bumper is going to cost... the full widths are gonna have to wait for a couple more years

Binder · 04-30-2006, 06:44 PM

Wheeled.

Eagle-Mark · 04-30-2006, 07:09 PM

Wheeled Staurday and Sunday!

jdjanda · 04-30-2006, 07:14 PM

Last weekend I melted the tranny cable and came to the conclusion I needed to cut and shorten the bag mounts. Today I finished up replacing the tranny cable and my tranny mount (torn in half) and took her for a spin. I still need to shorten the bag mounts but it felt good

Poser shot

Shot of the setup

Here you can see the bag mount that needs to be shortened

Just about ready for memorial, I need to do an oil change, add breathers front/rear and build and extra set of d-shafts.

The girl is in town, my brother has to go across the state for his Guard duty each month. He doesn't have a license, so he can't drive.

Tell your mom it's not your fault the shop fawked up painting the bumper.

How is that diff cover/truss working out for ya? I hear that using the diff cover bolts tends to break the bolt heads off or cause leaks, but I don't remember anyone doing it like you did. It looks removable or hinged or both?

Shouldn't be a problem, my front diff ring has the ram mounted to it without a problem. I can completely unbolt the cover, or just swing it up.

ih4ever · 04-30-2006, 08:10 PM

well you could just be friends with benefits

yeah i could tell her that but i dont think she'll buy it?!? and now its making some funky noise when you put the AC on?? who the fuck knows whats going on... i think im really screwed on this... i dont know why she had to get it... it was her dads and he passed away, but now, with new car payments, and it HAS to have 91 octane to drive, (bullshit) so now its costin her more than what its worth... especially when her gas is about 3.20 a gallon.

Mechanos · 04-30-2006, 08:29 PM

Changed the oil and filter in the tow rig trans and readjusted the bands..... and watched it rain.

dude, I just got that "friends first" talk at 2am the other night.....

But "benefits" was a topic

On the other hand.....damn hair clipper attachment fell off my trimmer, just say my head is now ...... BALD .....

I went wheeling in the snow at the last minute this morning. Now I have a sun burnt left arm and a sun burnt scalp.

chris408 · 04-30-2006, 10:42 PM

Installed LED tail lights on Saturday, wheeled on Sunday.

RustoleumWhite · 04-30-2006, 10:45 PM

Wrenched, did yard work, reworked some plumbing under the how (about 8 hours worth), and changes allot of diapers

Finished the rewire of the race truck. Relocated the battery (again) and put the finishing touches on the new ignition/control center box. Turned out pretty well. Also finally put a new set of wires, cap/rotor that I've had sitting in a box for 6+ months. After sitting in front of the garage for a week I finally fired it all up again and did some hot laps around the neighborhood. Runs pretty damn good, but is very wobbly on way aired down swampers running tubes. Kind of fun when you wiggle the wheel on the road

I can light the rears up pretty easily, time to spool the rear

. I really like the new seating position and harnesses. Now I just need a new shifter and to relocate it so I can operate it fully strapped in.

Also installed gimble mount cup holders in the trail truck

... only had them kicking around for 5 years.

other good news is that my lawn I worked on damn hard last year is really coming in nicely.... over seeded the crap out of it last week, should nice and full in a couple weeks

Rained like a MO-FO on Saturday. But I still got everything I wanted done this weekend. Made the wife happy as well.... here car in back in the garage after being excelled for a week as I worked on refinishing a dresser... among other things.

busy weekend now that I type is all out!

Munchies · 04-30-2006, 11:30 PM

saturday cut 15'' off the ass of the uroc cherokeeeee
re tubed it. I sat around all day and watched, hungover...

Met up with joel brodsky and got some wheels and two beater front fenders ( mine are too nice to bash) got some BEAST for free

Kc J · 05-01-2006, 07:56 AM

Went to look at a free Scout and a full float Dana 60 rear that turns out to be a 61 . Took the Dana left the Scout .

tsm1mt · 05-01-2006, 09:24 AM

Drove the fuelie street Scout 500 miles.. something in the 12mpg neighborhood at 75mph. The 304 is adequate in the power department with 3.73/33s.. just about talked myself into watching for a deal on some 2" lift springs and lowering the Scout.. dump the 4" Triangle/33s for a 2" SJ and 31s. Too damn much wind in this state..

Went to the M4x4A Annual Convention.. got stuck in the Pres position for another year..

Stopped in Bozeman on the way back.. dropped off a Parker Pumper for a buddy, took the Champion back to CostCo (well, almost.. I'll finish the deal Wed).. went down the street and bought a T-Maxx 9k from MJ before heading for home.

Confirmed the T-Maxx fits my bumper - even better than the Champion did - but need some new bolts to finish mounting it up.

Diesel Smoke · 05-01-2006, 09:45 AM

I moved out!! Working for Binder Books, rock crawling and trying to keep this old iron moving kept me at the homestead after graduating. A buddy of mine bought a house, offered me a great deal on rent, so I spent the majority of this weekend moving. Had a really good Binder Bee meeting on Sunday morning, then finished moving the bulk of my stuff over. I am stoaked about moving out, but not looking forward to cooking and shopping. Guess I'll have to get use to it again!

ih4ever · 05-01-2006, 10:07 AM

well thanks for calling me scout254, since thats probably the last snow run for awhile... would of been nice to go up there with the scout gang... but i guess you full width guys are too good for us dana 44 guys.

you need to fawkin call me when you go up!! so whos the "just friends"? is that the blind date you went on?

tech: the air bags are they inflated on flat ground or is that flexed on something?

Dirt Boy · 05-01-2006, 10:26 AM

Friday, cleaned my engine bay up a bit, then bed lined the wheelbarrow, since it was left out in the rain a few days ago. Saturday and Sunday took an Orvis flyfishing class, so no scout work. Did catch some nice fish though (one nice one for me, my wife caught 14!! - her first time landing a fish with a fly too!) Hope to drop the newer 304 into the scout this week, and get back up and running.

binderbound · 05-01-2006, 11:42 AM

Friday uglyscout and I wheeled with a few other scouts.

saturday I junkyarded my FI parts for the wagon master. $7.50 for everything but TB and ECM. those are only $25 each. So im hoping with the fuel pump I can be FI for under $175

Sunday we had wheeling lessons for the old lady.

this week I need to get ready for the trail clean up. thats gonna be fun.

IHC-6 · 05-01-2006, 12:15 PM

I did nothing with my truck.

I spent the weekend in meetings or running a tractor on the farm.

I suck, I know...

Harvester of Sorrow · 05-01-2006, 01:02 PM

Tuesday night I had a date equaling smiles from the lady...thanks again Diesel Smoke...

BUT she was not really all there...ha ha ha. Very engaging in the electronic world, but face to face dynamics were lets say off...Here is the Eye Candy for the IH'ers though...

Wednesday night I had a date with a different girl in Tacoma...resulting in makeout session in a closet

Thursday night yet another date with yet another girl in Oak Harbor...resulting in crashing on her sofa as Oak Harbor is BFE away from my place. In the morning I tried to leave early to make it straight to work...she had other plans...after a thorough BJ she let me go relieved of pressure. Late to work but they understood...

Friday I had my boys

Saturday had my boys and went to a wedding reception and stared at some hot chicks who were looking to be loved.

Sunday I gave my boys back...then had another date with the girl from Wednesday. She drove up to my neck of the woods and bought me dinner...then after a thorough hand job and about 5 gallons of results...she left at midnight.

This morning I got up at 4:00am to catch my flight to come to Memphis...

Wheeeewwww.....

"She" was probably a shemale.... that's why you only got a handjob. "She" doesn't want to reveal "her" secret yet. It's OK, HOS.... you can come out of the closet now. We've all known for some time now.....

ih4ever · 05-01-2006, 01:45 PM

Holy shit HOS, you had a fuckin busy weekend!!! only if everybody was that lucky

SSGTWC · 05-01-2006, 02:57 PM
