We are wrenching away planning on that too. I need to swap transfer cases still and my buddy has to finish his 'Yota. Things are looking like we will make it though.

I'm just over an hour away. Now I don't know if I can get my truck ready by then, to much shit to do and not enough time.

Have had one nasty cold the past week kickin my ass, and it's been to frickin cold outside to work on it. Wish I had an empty garage to work in... damnit!

I'll probably just end up goin fishin instead.

Nonsense poopy pants!!

You must be getting old now, fishing or wheeling?


But I guess since its so cold out I don't blame you at all. Hopefully the weather will straighten up so we can even run.

"Poopy pants"??? Damn kids anyway... :annoyed:


I have more fun fishin than wheelin with my kid these days. And if I break a rod or reel, I can sit on my ass in the warm house and fix it! So, yeah, I'm gettin old... :icon_thumby:


Weather might be a factor, looks to probably be sloppy for sure and make some tough going on the trails.

Just messin' with ya, nice sig by the way. I'm sure if you break a rod and reel, it would be much easier on the back pocket!

I need to put my transfer case in tomorrow afternoon, if that happens, I'm about 99% sure I'll be there sometime between 10-11am in New Years.

I can't make any promises I'll have a chance to get my transfer case in though.

Had a pretty good day out there. My buddy didn't have his Yota buddy done yet, so we took his parts truck out and had a good time. I finally figured out my transfer case gremlin and stayed with a stock length front shaft and it worked great.

Went all morning and a little bit into the afternoon until my tranny stuck in foward. I can move the lever on the side of the trans through all the positions, but it stays locked in Drive. So, either I see if something is plugged up in the valvebody or I say F-it and swap in the 5-speed I have laying out back.

Pics to come soon...

it was very cold, esp for this poor kid.



who ended up on the wrong side of this atv:



then his dad jumped in to get the atv out:



my brother stuck in a ice mud hole:




the hills were very challenging because of the frozen mud which was very slick.
