It's working better than I imagined Jimmy! 37's currently with an eye out for some 40's or maybe some IROK 39.5's. I've got the room for them. without putting the body up any higher.

I'm taking her up to Tim's in Carnation today for some tube work to guard the steering cylinder, the winch is in the shop as the brake took a crap on me, and I need to figure out what's up with the air locker. It stopped working a few hundred feet in front of where that pic was taken and I had to back out of that spot on Isabelle. I'm hoping it's just the solenoid but may be orings inside the diff...


Nice! Did ya get the tube work done? Hope the locker doesn't turn out to be a big pain. I don't remember.. what Tc do you have?
 
Yup, Tim bent me up a nice piece of 1.75 x 0.120 DOM and I booger-welded it to the housing last night :D One more brace and I'll have it triangulated and ready for downward as well as forward forces.

I'm running a 231J.

Brad and I are heading up to Walker Valley on Saturday to see if we can help with the work party. Probably leaving Issaquah around 9:00am. Maybe we'll see you there?
 
Right on man! Sounds like it will work. I won't be able to go Saturday I gotta work till 8pm. I don't get to play or watch the fight... Boo.
 
Anyone going to Reiter this weekend? I'll be over on the wetside workin on my heep to get it back up and rolling on all fours... I'd love to get out and see Reiter since it's been awhile.... Vinny, Mike, Jay?????
I plan on going Sunday for a small work party listed on RTW Forum. Saturday I will be breaking down my new Tires and bead balancing them and getting new struts on my rear hatch at Hip's place in Everett.
 
Maybe saturday........not sure I'll let you know.
I could go for a Saturday Reiter run. It will all hang on this....

.... being the only damage that occurred last weekend at stupid Tahuya. There will be a number of people I know out there at various times over the weekend. What's up with Russ? Does he wheel his junk anymore?

I'd gladly take you on a first class tour of Reiter Chris. This afternoon I'll know if I'll be good to go.
 
I'm in for this run. Rig is all buttoned up and ready to go. I'll give Chris a call here in a few and let him know.

What time do you want to meet at Reiter Jay?

Vinny?

Russ?
 
I'm thinking I'll be rolling into the main parking area around 11:30 - noon Mike. I've got some fab work I'm trying to get done on the trailer to mount a winch and it'll take a little while in the morning.
 
have fun guys. I will be back in it in a few weeks hopefully, i closed up shop for myself and went to work for someone else so meanwhile i got to work weekends to close out the open jobs i had. i can web wheel if you post pic's though.

So who is in for Memorial Weekend this year @ Rider's Camp again? Soon my Heep will be done and I'll be leaving it alone leadin up for Memorial. It's become a tradition now, so I'm not missing it. Worst case, the trails might not have a buncha snow on them like last year and the rocks will be nice and dry leaving us a nice play ground :)

For those who were not there... last years pics...

I'm in as always.

What do we want for this years required equipment?
Tires that hold air!!

I'm in for sure, camp where ever, as long as it gets sun exposure cuz i'm counting on the sun this year. I bet it will be mild so if there are lesser capable rigs they could go around. Tow points should always be required though. I'm planing my reg plan, get there thurs wheel with small groups fri (hard snow wheeling). Sat watch the show at the rocks. Sun whatever.

Atleast one locker, 31" + MT's, tow points.......?
Sounds good... and no Swampers... (hahaha) I still think trails like Shoestring, Tipover and the Ridge Trail will be nasty no matter what the weather does. They're usually jacked up til June anyways. But we'll just have to wait and see. I'll prolly plan on being there Wednesday afternoon to get a spot. It's all about havin fun no matter what happens.
 
I'm no longer looking for another ZJ Vinny. Picked up a tow rig yesterday.

91 Dodge CTD, 5 speed manual 4X4 with one ton gear. It's a real black smoke machine.
