mvusse Posted August 13, 2009 Author Posted August 13, 2009 Need to visit pull-a-part for a passenger mirror, mow the grass, pack and load up. Leaving some time tomorrow morning.
jpdocdave Posted August 14, 2009 Posted August 14, 2009 i'm all loaded, gonna be a long day at work tomorrow staring at the jeep in the parking lot on the trailer all day......maybe the boss will let me go early :banana: ........... :no: :nuts: ya right.
mvusse Posted August 14, 2009 Author Posted August 14, 2009 It's morning. Just got my daughter up, and packed the cooler. Now we juts need breakfast, get my daughter off to marching band practice, pack my clothes and I'll be on my way. Guessing ~9:30 or so. Taking it easy on my rear axle, about 60mph the whole way will make for 7 hours driving time. count 30 minutes for breaks, and I should be getting there about 5pm or so.
jpdocdave Posted August 14, 2009 Posted August 14, 2009 it started already, staring out the door at the jeep. gonna be a long day. i'll be at camp around 11:30 i'm guessing, i'll be lookin for wade's truck.
89eliminator Posted August 16, 2009 Posted August 16, 2009 met up with some new and old faces. got to wheel with one group on friday and the other on saturday which was kinda nice. only damage on my end is a scratched flare and something wrong with the pass side of axle. will rip it apart soon to find that out. kinda thinking wheel bearing.
500 MJ Posted August 16, 2009 Posted August 16, 2009 met up with some new and old faces. got to wheel with one group on friday and the other on saturday which was kinda nice. only damage on my end is a scratched flare and something wrong with the pass side of axle. will rip it apart soon to find that out. kinda thinking wheel bearing. Same fender flare as what was already scratched up? Good video of your truck, love it.
500 MJ Posted August 16, 2009 Posted August 16, 2009 :no: Maybe just go get a set of regular unpainted ones so the scratches don't show. :yes:
mvusse Posted August 17, 2009 Author Posted August 17, 2009 Well, here's mine. All 10 of them :oops: That last one is an SSR with the top down that passed me on the way back. Couldn't really get the camera ready in time.
jpdocdave Posted August 17, 2009 Posted August 17, 2009 great time with you guys, i got some video taking its sweet time loading. mvusse, i got some good vids and pics of yours, you sure can move that long bed around. he did really good out there.
Pete M Posted August 17, 2009 Posted August 17, 2009 I'll just post up a random picture of me at the Badlands from 4 years back and pretend that I got to go with you guys. :( :D
89eliminator Posted August 17, 2009 Posted August 17, 2009 so i see you found that quarry back by orange, dave.
Automan2164 Posted August 18, 2009 Posted August 18, 2009 I raise you an old photo pete.... :yes: Rob L.
Pete M Posted August 18, 2009 Posted August 18, 2009 Ah, yes. Back in the day. :D Anyone else break something?
mvusse Posted August 18, 2009 Author Posted August 18, 2009 2 Flat tires from crap stuck in the bead and a minor dent just above and behind the driver's door when a friendly tree decided to reach out and stop me from flopping the truck onto it's side. Kind of surprised me, really. I thought with the low backspacing and the spacers on the rear wheels, my large track width would make it more stable than it evidently did. Overheating problems on the way home made for a long trip. I'm hoping it was just remaining mud I didn't flush completely out of the radiator, but I have not ruled out the water pump yet.
mvusse Posted August 18, 2009 Author Posted August 18, 2009 Alright here are my pics - All in All - it was a really good weekend. I went 800+ miles without a problem and met some really nice people. Indiana gave me a sinus infection though. Marcel drags the rear of his bed like hes a mini trucker :D (if you don't know what that means - work at stylin trucks and you'll know) Putting Marcel to work :twisted: This spot back here made us feel home 8-) So he decided he would rest for a little bit And the fun trip home The rest can be seen here I would make the trip again, but i would prefer to stay longer than a day. For some reason i got 16.2 mpg going there, and 18.3 mpg coming home. can't complain.
jpdocdave Posted August 18, 2009 Posted August 18, 2009 so i see you found that quarry back by orange, dave. yepper, fun little spot but kinda like you said. its just cool seeing new stuff all the time.

mvusse Posted August 19, 2009 Author Posted August 19, 2009 Hey, anybody know if Josh has his pics up somewhere yet? He gave me a piece of paper with info to his account on photobucket, but I can't find it. The account that is, not the piece of paper.
