Elbe Hills (Washington) run 1-17-09 (56K, go away)

[dogboy]

Yeah, I figured it moved quite a bit, but the one that I saw was on a pretty straight stretch, and it moved a lot... Oh well.

 

[Stumpy]

what happened to stumpys manifold?

I wish I knew... I've looked over the whole exhaust and there isn't any damage from rocks. Maybe just the angle the frame was torqued at?

Here's a pic. My ears are still ringing from the drive home. lol

I have a feeling this is going to be a pain in the ass to swap out.

Well the little bit of Elbe that I got to see was exciting! These guys are great to wheel with, I felt like an anchor today. I've never spent so much time on a winch line.

Here are some pics.

(My unfinished bumper)

That bumper is going to look really good when it is done. I like that style on 2nd gen rigs!

Thanks! I really like yours too, I just didn't have access to a tube bender so I went went with rectangular.

At least you don't have to fight the flange bolts.

We all had fun, and that's all that matters.

Both of your guys' bumpers turned out great. Gave me some ideas for my ranger.

 

[dogboy]

Thanks!

Mine is still a work in progress to if you didn't notice that, haha. Maybe the lack of paint gave it away...

I still need to cap the ends, add another support up to the lightbar, and paint mine. Then hopefully it will be done.

i have never seen that happen

Yeah, it's new. I' have been building it over the last week. You don't get much done when you have 2 hours to work every day, and spend 45min of that eating dinner and getting tools out/ putting stuff away. (I have been building it at my cousin's house after work/ school becuase he has a 220v MIG welder, and we only have a 110 MIG)

Me neither until yesterday...

I'm pulling the manifold off my spare head today, we'll see if I can get these bolts loose without breaking them.

strange

 

[Stumpy]

Well, I can say that for a non-religious guy someone sure is looking out for me.

The owner before me had rebuilt the engine and apparently had taken the manifolds off. The bolts came right out! Piece of cake.

I did manage to break every single bolt on my parts head though trying to get my good manifold off.

I sure lucked out! We're all back together now.

 

[dogboy]

I hope you get those bolts out! There's no such thing as too much WD!

Sorry, I had to post something from the iPod touch I got today. This things awsome!!


EDIT: screw using the ipod agian, it's slow to type on (took me 5 minutes to type the above). That's awsome that the bolts that broke were on the parts motor, haha.

I really need to get over there and check Elbe out. That looks like a TON of fun!
