Tipsy MIGO!   

DOOOD that was some scary !!!! The rear started sliding around to the left, so I just stopped and waited for some help

[Blingn]

that is what i was looking at when I came around the rock pile was FFC and FFC's mom in that pic.  Then Snowshoe and I hooked up to her and let her down the hill.  Actually snowshoebrue just winched her down.  I was the anchor

[cruzila]

I thought I showed you how to do that one last year!!!! Yow!

[CTENG in KS]

Well, we have to give her credit, she stayed calm and joked through the whole thing...gotta love a woman who can handle her truck...sorta.

[*FFC*]

I thought I showed you how to do that one last year!!!! Yow!

And I thought I was on the line you showed me... but alas, I was WRONG!!! Mom and I were sittin there after the rear started sliding and we looked at each other like "now what?". 


She sure was a good sport though! She only screamed once!!!!

Cruzila, I talked to you about that on our way out. You said that was supposed to be the line but I insisted to Mark that it was more in the middle of the drop, and that's how he spotted everyone down without incident.
I have it on video where you were standing but I do remember being right next to that ditch on the right.

Alright, I was off by a foot

[Prof Poopschitz]

AJ, good to see you made it out there, and seems like no major probs...I've still got money on you being stranded somewhere before you get back though.  Glad you're having fun...gotta bring back some Cali women to this godforsaken state.

[Wermz84]

It was so much fun being a ballast off the front of the Mammoth to keep it from tipping!      An honor even. 


Throwing up his sign.



Getting Funky



I would have taken more pics of the "Please Stand By" but I don't want everybody to go to   

Good times meeting and hanging with you.   Hopefully we can do it again CT. 

[Duffil]

Well if you don't consider bunging up the fuel pump and frying his ECU after hours of grueling rock crawling behind us and hours more ahead of us as having major problems then I guess all was well.
He is just dang lucky the fuel pump was repairable and someone at the springs actually had a spare ECU or it would have been a LOOOOOOONG trip out of there.

You can check out the full story on our thread... http://board.marlincrawler.com/index.php?topic=10805.msg444909#msg444909

Not to mention he's been having continuous problems with the fuel filter on the beastmaster and he shredded a tire on the trailer and didn't have a spare on the right rim. (but so did we, but we had a proper spare)

Sure, no problems

And then I had to say goodbye to the Mammoths.   

The End...

[Wermz84]

Welcome home.      from here to there    

[Lady Di]

  it was a good time CT! A vacation to remember for sure. The good times way outweighed the problems. We got'r dun!
How happy was Johnnycat to see you?
Now sleep tight and don't let the evil bunnies bite!

[unclejpl4x4]

so now what U gona drop both your fuel tanks and finger out why the fuel filter is  pluging up

[Lady Di]

I am sure this was a good learning experience for him, he's got lots of project ahead of him. The beastmaster is very cool and unique, I would love to see it fixed up right.

[CTENG in KS]

I have lots of werk on both trucks.

The primary tank on the beast seems to be in good clean shape...I am going to do some research into tank cleaning for the big rear tank though, you can see the crap settled on the bottom when you look in the tank.

I also have some plans to clean up and refresh the motor a little.  Pull the heads and have them decked, polished, new valves, etc.  Al intake manifold and swap to a simpler carb than the Holley...maybe a motorcraft or something.  While it is apart I will get the distributor out too so the timing can be set properly.

what moter is in it ?       get that puppy blown
