Turkey week '07 - Pirate4x4.Com : 4x4 and Off-Road Forum

Wilson · 07-29-2007, 09:35 PM

I'm going to be in the area the week before thanksgiving this year. Anyone going to be out there Mon, Tues or Wed, prior to thanksgiving? I'm thinking of towing the cruiser down and hitting some trails. I've been to the hammers once and would like to tag along with someone, if they didn't mind. 1970 fj40, slightly modded

RE:Todd · 07-29-2007, 09:42 PM

I plan on being there, but probably not until Wednesday evening.

Wilson · 07-30-2007, 06:38 AM

Thanks Todd, I remember wednesday being the day you guys usually start showing up. We're going to have to catch Thanksgiving with family in Orange County and have a wedding Friday.

Cool, we should look forward to seeing you on Saturday then ??

Wilson · 08-05-2007, 09:06 PM

If I can't get out there, Monday or tuesday, then yes, maybe Saturday. I have to drive home Sunday though, and that's a lot driving.

samota87 · 08-24-2007, 06:42 PM

Perfect, hit me up as it gets closer. I've been on a couple of the trails and have gps coord's for 10 or so.

I wasnt at all involved in the build. He never was there for me to look at it as it was being built. Everytime he told me to come over he wasnt there. This is how i picked it up. When i got it home i found all of this. I cut it out and am going to start over.Here is a few more.

No more, please, you're making me sad.

That is bad stuff, but luckily you caught it. Cut that roof apart and use the tubing for small pieces in the rebuild. Just get it done before t-day!

Damn, I saw your original post, but most of those pcitures were not in there. That is FAR worse than the cage that Apeters89 got his first time around. I know how you feel, I'm running my own business too and have had to pay for some work because I simply don't have the time for it. I've ahd better luck and found a shop that would work at night, to build the cage just how I wanted it. It wasn't practical for me to try adn do it at home, after work.
