Wire Fox, sorry the IP swap didn’t get your engine going yet. Exactly where do you get fuel and where does it stop?

I think my rusted out rocker panels combined with no hardtop allowed the body to flex too much. The fender cutting may have also contributed. Just not as much structural integrity as it had from the factory. I’m planning to eventually weld in rectangular tube for rock guards which should also...

Wire Fox, you get that HMMWV going yet? We would have at least 5 vehicles if you get yours going. I just took the soft top of the M1009 and put a hard top on. Trying to figure out what I'm doing for a rear window so that I can cruise with greater warmth and visibility than I had before...

I normally have some seats open as well. I usually find most of the truck swallowing stuff...

I am going to wheel my M1009 at Haspin Acres again on Saturday, December 30th. Right now it's only small trucks. Big trucks would be welcome, and can probably fit on most of the trails we will run, but I can't guarantee recovery for the big boys. Looks like right now maybe 3 or 4 vehicles...

Tried to get a convoy pic, only captured a few trucks in this picture:

Pics of MAA’s sweet Land Rover

A few pics. Had a great time. Had a convoy of 10 trucks for the first trail run on Saturday.

It’s 24 degrees! Fire feels great! Had fun yesterday/ last night. Did some exploring, found a long trail marked with green paint that is pretty sweet, will be showing you soon. Only had to use MAA’s winch 3 times...

We will meet either at the office or somewhere in the main campsite with the pond. There's a chance I might try to camp in the woods somewhere to get out of the cold wind, but only if it seems too windy by the pond. Don't really care to use the shelter when it's this cold (I'd rather be in...

Wire Fox, if you can get that radio deck to my place before noon tomorrow I’ll take it down for Jason. I’m in Plainfield.

It was an easy fix. My alignment was quite out of whack. I adjusted the toe-in and she drives good now. I use balancing media (steel BB's) and I've found that they are quite sensitive to the front end alignment. Get the alignment good, and they seem to work fine. On a bright note, I've got...

We'll put that winch to good use, don't worry :D I rotated my tires, trimmed my front fenders (more), and took the M1009 for a test drive. Drove terrible! Checked my alignment, seem to be a little off, so need to adjust that. Wondering if the tires I have on front now are in worse shape that...

Yeah, trying for Friday afternoon. I asked for the day off. If I get it I’ll get out there about 2pm or so. MAA has about the same schedule.

MAA and I are going down Friday. He can’t stay all day Saturday and needs to test out his Land Rover. Anybody can come early or late if they want. Plan is still meet at 10am Saturday for the day trip crew. I’m getting my M1009 going today to check everything out. Haven’t driven it lately...

Simp5782, THANKS! I'm sending you a PM.
