You do know...that now...IF you get stuck and I pull you out with that winch, the ribbing will never end......right?

99% that I will be there at 9AM.

Rev

If you pull anyone out with that thing they should paint their rig to look like a rainbow trout.

Hmmm, actually that might look cool anyway.

See you in the AM Rev...

Back from West Central IN. Nice running all weekend. Met the Steelfish, and hooked up for a short time with the Rev before he headed off to play with the kids on his ATV.

Sheared off my rear DS on the same little wall Brad trashed his last Carnagefest. Luckily I just lost 2 end caps off the U-joint and sheared off the bolts in the rear yoke. Drilled em out (cept one) and put new caps on courtesy of the Napa in town and was back up and running in an hour. Broke off an easy-out in one hole so no drilling that beyotch out with a fading battery DeWalt. Had the guy in the BL shop weld on the straps to the yoke. Engine torque isn't gonna break that loose anytime soon!!

Quite a few Jeeps there this weekend and a boatload of quads. Ran mostly by myself though. It was quiet, almost peaceful. No waiting for someone to unstuck their junk or get it running.

Glad to have met some of the Mid Rivers guys and the Steelfish.

Is there anywhere in Attica or near Attica that has a good dinner?? Fried chicken perhaps or at least some mashed taters??? The Short Stop and McD's just don't cut it! The Wheelers Family Diner closed. Is the chow at that Robie's any good??

Yes it is.:chef:


Glad you had a good time Rob, wish I could have made it. I didn't get to wheel but at least I got to work on my junk......

Wished I could have made it but like haleyes I worked all day on my rig also. I should be ready soon, all the parts for my 44 should be here soon. If I knew how to post pics from my cheap ass camera I would do a little gig on my build up. Its my first attempt at building instead of buying all the extras.

Heading down in a couple hours. Hope to be there by 1, try to do a little playing in the quarry today and meet some of the Mid River guys.

I seen you heading down to the Badlands in your XJ. I was headed northbound from Purdue and I seen you somewhere by the Kankakee River. It's kind of hard not to notice your rig :laugh:. Glad to hear there wasn't too much breakage.

 

[STEELFISH]

Rocketman it was nice to meet you...good looking XJ as well, very clean

Rev heard you ran in to another guy that was with us, one of these days we'll meet.

We had a blast both Saturday and Sunday. Watched a guy toast his rear shaft and tcase in the quarry.

Check the Cliffs thread. Hey, it was a BIG quad. I was up there with my 4 year old for almost an hour before someone came by to help. Glad he did.
