your tire wasnt messed up from all that driving on the rim was it?

[Ramrod]

nope not at all, im really amazed how well that truck is still driving.  It drives better than my 86 ever did

[3rdGenIguana]

Ive never seen a seal jump up a water fall. i was following you thinking, surly this isn't the trail.

[3rdGenIguana]

That was a sweet trip. No breakage, no body damage, just a little wear and tear.

round-up?

[Sluice Box Hero]

my truck is pissing me off.  stripped the 2 bolts on the spring plate out of the D60 housing. . .again, so i thought it would be a good idea to put a huge ubolt in there instead of the floping bolts, well, its flopped up,  i bought a nice ubolt, made a pregnant dogin plate, went to install it and its good and all, but i dont like it, not at all.  so now im going to tap the housing for a 3/4-10 stud and see how that goes, just i dont have a tap and it looks like im going to have to pull the axle out of the truck to get it done.  whatever, at least the 5-0 is 100% ready to go.  ill have it all done by tomorrow night.

anyway, havent got a drunk call from you yet pat, hows it feel to be back in the heat?

Callen

[Ramrod]

this freakin' heat sucks, the only meal ive been able to choke down since ive been home was a leftover burrito while i was waiting for the sun to come up this morning when I was dove hunting and it was still somewhat decently cool.

Pretty interesting today I went to drive my truck so i made my buddy put my battery back in it because he was barowwing it but then he put it in backwards and blew a shitload of fuses, after that I was looking for my cooler lid and the cat finally got out of the bag that apparently rockwalker flopped my truck on the 4th of july but there wasnt any damage so its all cool

[NorCalToy]

thats weak on both accounts...which reminds me, i found a complete cooler, then a lid fro antoher out wheelin the last time.

at least no damage though. thats good, did you get all the fuses replaced already?

[Ramrod]

yep got it all washed up, sterio working and paraded around town for a while, might take it out for a little night ride in a bit

[THK Matt]

right on man... glad to see you got it up and running again.... got to parade that fo sho.

[Doof]

how many did you get this morning?

[kiyul4130]

id be so floppin' pissed at billy for taking it out and rolling it. damn......

edit: by the way, he is going to the round up? 

[4RunnerKid]

glad to see it's up and running again Pat. we'll have to hit a trail at some point... JV for new years?

[Ramrod]
