10th Annual Thanksgiving Run

[paddlernate]

It's gonna take a couple solid evenings of thrashing to get mine back together, but I'm gonna git er done. Planning to be there Friday morning, and I'll have an open back seat.

If I can find the line I need locally...and not dealership $275.00 locally, I'll have my shit finally running and on the trails, and there this weekend. Someone has to have this part I need...

 

[BoringDave]

Dont worry Dustin. The Boring Junk is ready to wheel and will be there for the beat down!

Good to hear! I'm thinking Friday I'd like to start on the far West end of the trails, and run them back toward the East side if the group is up for it. Rogers Road, Stick In the Nose, Archers, V-Notch, Waterfall, etc. Should be good times.

I'm pretty much packed and ready to hit the road. Is it Thursday yet?

 

[NW-ZJ-SCOTT]

Bad news, Turns out the temporary axle setup needs maintenance

Ball joints are shot, bearing is shot.. CV shafts are ripped and dry

Ooh I wanna run Rogers Road. I think I could possibly do the V-Notch too.

Questions: Do you guys have the little coil spring retainer clips installed on your axles? The bolt hole for the clip on my passenger side stripped out and I've lost the clip. Will the spring stay put without it? Would anyone like to bring one out to TSF for me? Reward offered.

 

[paddlernate]

Oh yeah, and this happened. We got clearance, Clarence. So snazzy, can't wait to test this setup out.

 

[NW-ZJ-SCOTT]

Nice! I'll bring you a clip! I run them

What I have done to make the bolt hole work is zap a quick tack weld in the hole and then re-run the bolt through a few times

 

[BoringDave]

Having the little clipy do thingy don't look that important since you have limit straps.

Why would you be put there so early?

 

[NW-ZJ-SCOTT]

Ger to camp 7:30ish and setup

Realistically my timeframes are +/- 6hours

I think I was able to drill and tap that hole to 5/16"(or 3/8), but had to remove the coil to have the room to do it
