  • Pittman arm
  • Front cross member
  • Windshield reservoir
  • Old alternators (still work)
  • Old lugnuts
  • Other odss and ends
Totally should setup a Swap Meet to go along with a URE run weekend

Looks like the weather will be stormy, so be sure to prepare for that!

We’ve spent all night trying to make final preparations. Got a few more things tomorrow, but we’re ready… enough. Wishing I could’ve pulled spare axles to bring, that’s my only real concern. Considered trailering, but where’s the fun in that!

Sandman, did you need me to bring that spare driveshaft?

Over torqued an inspection plate bolt on the transfer case while resealing and refilling. Torque wrench must be fubar’d because I had it set at 18lbs. No leaks though. I’m driving it up from Florida come he’ll or high water. See you there!!

Thanks - but I broke the bolt off in the hole - did not strip it out. Can't believe I did that.

Nope ordered a shaft with 1310 joints, didn't fix the problem I was having but now they're easily replaceable.

If y'all need anything let me know. I am 2hrs away. Have a welder/tools.

Looks like it will be a sloppy weekend, doubt I will come to visit and slide around in the mud. I am probably out unless the weather forecast changes. Sorry guys, got my fill of mudding back in my dirt bike racing days.
