Is it open glyn? I assume you checked after we were told ot was closed that day? apparrently according to a thread on island it is blocked right off... Let me know what you find
I'm in for sure. If it's blocked off and there are no ways around, we can always head across the highway and do some exploring up hill60 and over into copper canyon.
Checked out Skutz after we did Porters, I only went up a short distance, but it looked open? Hill 60 sounds good too. I'm trying to connect a few trails to make a decent day of it, for trip in June our club is hosting.
We checked out Skutz after Porters, went up a short way, it seemed open? Hill 60 would work too. I'm trying to link up a few trails to make a decent day for a run our club is doing in June.
If you're interested in joining us in the morning we're meeting at Harewood mall Starbucks at 10a.m.
I know it's a long ways for you to come but the offers there.
BeRadical ^^ you have no idea how much I'm considering this.
Glyn - I'm taking my spindle assembly to get machined today. hopefully I'll have it all back together with the new axle by end of day. I'd be up for an afternoon trip some time this week if you're into it.
So far I've had about a 10% success rate with pulling any and all bolts on this truck. The whole damn thing is covered in a layer of corrosion and they just break like they're made of putty. A sas would be appealing almost for this reason alone - I would love to torch all this ifs stuff out and never deal with it again! :)
Super wrench, in the non arosol plastic bottle, or kroil its sold at duncan auto in an orange arosol can, shit will eat rust for breakfast just dont breath the stuff in!
I'm finally back together - that was the worst axle job I've ever done by far. Had to cut my upper balljoint off just to get the spindle out, then put a drill press on it to get the broken bolts out but ended up removing half of the threads in one of the ball joint connector holes. I'm 80% sure it will hold, but if not I may be losing a wheel at some point in the near future (hope not). The alternative was to buy a whole new spindle, and I have no motivation to do that. Anyway, let's put this thing to the test, are you around any time this week for some skutz exploring?

I just broke an axle. might be out of the running for this Sunday. agh!
I'll try to get a new one on tomorrow if I can find one and let you know
That sucks, good luck getting it fixed! Anyone else up for wheeling on Sunday?
Sorry glyn still awaiting papers from my brother in lawfor my jeep... Shoulda been on that a while ago
Well, I just broke off 3 of the 4 spindle bolts at my lower balljoint. I'm not going anywhere for a while.. the corrosion wagon strikes again :/
Okay, trip off for Sunday, we'll try again another time.
Time for sas
