Well I am dropping of my registration in the mail tomorrow for this event. There is also a guy that owns an M1009 that I have seen parked in a parking lot quite often so I am going to leave a letter on his windshield informing him of this event if he is interested if he does not know about it...
I sanded my front bumper hoping to reveal some of the originalbumper numbers. When I had been getting ready to paint the bumper there wassome chips in the paint peeling which I had taken my knife to knock the chipsaway. It ended up pealing a decent sized bit of paint so I tried again to knockthe...
This may be slightly of topic but, as I was preparing to repaint my bumpers I had noticed a chip in the paint that was pealing that I missed when I was spot sanding. I took my knife and went to chip it away. A big chip came off and there was more of the pant had peeled away, so I continued...
I used a paint roller with my truck which allowed me to paint it in my aprtment. I beleive some people use the power sprayers, which than if you have a friend with a drive way you may be able to do it there.
The good news for me is as of last night when I checked I had found ony a single...
No I cant. I live in an apartment complex so I do not have a covered area, as well as my M1009 is my daily driver so It is not really practical to garage it for the week or so that it would need for the paint to fully cure. I had done the hood last year to test the paint out, and had lucked out...
well the good news is that so far today it has held off raining, though it sure looks like it will be some time later today. I was planning on giving it a second coat any way so the bubbles should not be a problem. At least not yet, since Ill probably be facing a similar situation for the second...
Yes it was Behr Paint I was using. Unfortunately where I am getting a week straight of no rain seems to be rare in my experience so far, Since I have two weeks off from wok I decided I mine as well take the chance, and hope for the best
My truck Is now all painted except for the bumpers grill, and brush guard. I had been planning on giving it a second coat today but the weather forecast changed and now its suppose to rain tomorrow. I really hope that the rain is not going to mess up the paint, I put on it yesterday.
Sanded all the spots where the paint has chipped away to prep my truck to be painted Tuesday. I am now convinced that at one time my truck had been painted tan, since As I sanded there was a layer of tan over another layer of green. So maybe my truck was in Desert Storm, or less likley in...
If went about right, the danger of bringing bad attention to our hobby is minimal. Don't present it as "but X, Y, and Z vehicles are legal!" instead present as "If we make them available for off road use only, Not only would the government get more money for them, they would also save money by...
I'm in. I got a couple of things I need to fix on my truck when I get back state side but they should not take to long to fix (better not take to long since it is still my daily driver). I can not wait.
Wait!!! These trucks have warning buzzers :shock:
When I had first bought my truck I actually did not know that. When I was poking around the wiring system I found the buzzer boxes and was like "Hmm what are those, they look like there is a speeker thing in them." So I figured they had to be...
Well The little Mini Rally ended up being a pretty good time. Met some other members here, and one of us even got a trophy for third place. I completly disagree with 1st and second place winners. 2nd went to a hearse which had rust holes in one of the body pannels. 1st I don't belive should have...
I got two that said they will be there with vehicles, two going with out vehicles, two interested in going but has not given a definitive answer, and three people that people that said they can not go but will spread word to others. (I do not know how many if any people that would be showing up...
The plan for tommorow is I am going to get there a little early and park out side of the speed way (the idea spot that I am aiming for is right off the road on the enterance.) and wait for those of you to that are coming to show up. That way we can all enter at once and be parked next to each...
Some Minor new information. For those of you with out an operation MV or have a spouse or friend without one who also wants to be part of the car show, they have just added a new category Motorcycles
Once I know who is going to be going we can alway wait out side the event until every one...
Some more information for any one interested. First of all I did not mention it before but all participants will get a ticket to the race afterwards. Now you will only get one ticket per registration so if you are bringing a spouse/kids you wil still need to get tickets for them if you want to...
Replaced the out side bottom out side window seals on the doors formy M1009. Discovered the real reason why my tailgate had a rust whole in it (besides the window seal needing to be replaced) As I was getting ready to pull the old ones off, I noticed somthing and was like wait a second. the...
