I still need to wire up my ARB compressor and get my sliders on, but I'll be there regardless; ready to wheel

 

[Mauzer]

Still need to grind my frame some more and install my bumper and change xfercase oil...a bunch of other stuff but those are the two I NEED to get done before we take off tomorrow. I should prob change out my busted clicky CV but I doubt I'll have time

 

[drew02a]

...doubt I'll have time

You don't. Just bring the spare with you in case we have to change it on the trail.

I'll be doing some more wrenching at my place at about 7:00 if you want to finish up your bumper over there.

That was the plan, I'm going to bring my spare and some gear oil. I'm going to Northern Tool on my lunch to get a flapper wheel and a 24mm socket to do my xfercase fluid so I can work on it at my house after work but I may need to come by to get help actually bolting that bitch on.

2 cases of beer on ice for tonight and tomorrow

 

[MCTacodriver]

Still in, possibly with painted sliders, possibly with bare metal. It'll depend on how motivated I get tonight after a few beers

I got all my shit together on the Raisin.. but I am missing a driveshaft nut/bolt on the front! Fuck! So I'll try and find a SAE combo that sorta fits until I can get a factory bolt. So if anyone coming out tomorrow has a spare Yota DS bolt/nut and can bring it along.. I would be appreciative.

I still need to swing by the grocery store in the morning and fill up the ice chest.

I'm on the fence as for camping tomorrow night, I'll stay late but don't know about sleeping out there. Its farking hot! We'll see though.

On the road.. Running 30 minutes late.

Hey Drew, do you want your bumper back for sentimental purposes or can I trash it

You can trash it,

I meant to grab it before we left, but forgot

 

[Silverback]

Got home a little bit ago. Had a blast. Uploading the pics now.

 

[drew02a]

I had a great time too

You know it's gonna be a great trip, when you smoke your clutch on the first obstacle,

Sounds like there might be an interesting story here

 

[MCTacodriver]

I didn't see how he did it, but he dented his lower valence on the front bumper, and it was rubbing on his tire so he ripped it off and was deposited in my trashcan, I mean bed.
