Charleston, SC WOT - May 24-26

[cajun_lad]

Just wanted to post up in case anybody close by didn't have any plans this weekend. Sungoesdown is coming to help me work on my Chero a bit. All others are welcome to come too. Just post up so I can make sure there's enough food.

[funwheeling]

Wish I could make it but, I'm hoping to work on mine this weekend.

[nicsfsj]

If you have a way to get it here, that's what the WOT is all about. Bring it and we'll help with yours too.

Nothing major, just getting an extra hand or two to finish up some things on my Chero so I can start driving it again. It's been sitting on stands since August. Its at my sister's house, so my nephew should be there, he's ~4 (bad uncle, I know). Depending how many people show, I may grill some burgers and hot dogs or something or maybe order pizza so as to not to distract me away from the project at hand.

[cajun_lad]

Oh, and unless you don't mind laying on your back on concrete, bring your own creeper(s). I have NONE.

[nicsfsj]

Bad Uncle, no way man! All my Uncle did was let me hang around his helicopters. Or the US Treasury Depts. helicopters. Well I will be there, I will be bringing just one, my boy he is 4, the girlfriend says she will do something with the girls. Just back channel me.

bringing your jeep? need help with anything on it?

[nicsfsj]

I will bring "SCHWEETY" but I'm not for sure where to start. I was thinking of taking all the SMOG crap off and redoing the vac lines but Im not for sure if I really want to dive into that right now. I will give other things some thought over the week I guess. Might do the tranny filter but Ill play it by ear. More than likely I will be a wrench hander and tweeker if need be!

have you ever rebuilt a carb? i was thinking of cleaning up my holley truck avenger this weekend. i've had the rebuild kit for over a year now.

[nicsfsj]

Well no I havent. Im not for sure what all that takes. Im not a mechanical guy. I know enough to get real dangerous and I am the king of "IN Theory" it will work this way. Hee Hee. I cant go to crazy on repairs since I traded my WARN 8274 off my CJ to one of my LowCountry Jeep Club buddies for work on "SCHWEETY". That carb rebuild was on the list. Anyway whatever you guys want to do Im a player. Any idea how many folks are headed out there?

Thanks for the offer. But I would be spilling oil all over the road. It's a dipstick oil pan thing.

Don't be scared of the truck avenger It's an easy rebuild.

Well let's see....
There's me....
and Sungoesdown....

My new shocks came in yesterday... one more thing that can get accomplished.

[Gil]

Hey guys...I've been out of state. What day are you doing this? I know you listed all three days, but wondering if it's narrowed down at all. I have been away from home, and will be again coming up soon, so I want to spend time with my wife and daughter. I may be able to come over and say hi for a little bit. But anyone who knows me knows I am still pretty useless when it comes to helping out with a Jeep.

[cajun_lad]

I should have specified the days, sorry. Everyone's coming over Saturday. I will be working on it the rest of the weekend, trying to finish it up.

[sungoesdown]

I will be there all day saturday for the most part and then Sunday for a while

[cajun_lad]

Saw on the forecast today, scattered thunderstorms all day Saturday... :mad:

[cajun_lad]

any suggestions if it does rain all day tomorrow?

[sungoesdown]

:alc:

just kidding, i guess get wet. it says no more than 30% chance of isolated t-storms. it will be alright.

[cajun_lad]

speaking of which, what is everyone's beverage of choice?

[sungoesdown]

I will bring a cooler of mtn dew and maybe a few adult beverages.

[cajun_lad]

what time are you planning on showing up? Ya'll coming down tonight or in the morning?

[sungoesdown]

i have to do some stuff for work in the morning and i will rolling in at 11ish

[cajun_lad]

sounds good....

what about you Nic?
and Gil, haven't heard back from you?

[Gil]

'Cause I haven't heard back from my wife :p

I am going to try and stop by and say hi...you know first hand how useless I am under a FSJ.

[cajun_lad]

sometimes an extra hand or 2 is more helpful than you think

[nicsfsj]

You mean if its raining we have to work outside? Oh crap my hair will get wet! As for the beverages, Im good with about anything. I guess 11.00 as I saw in an earlier post? You guys need to tell me where this little party is so Im not driving all over. That would wreck my "Hypermiling" experiement. Also I might be redoing the diff covers since they are leaking. Do you guys kno if they take a gasket or do you just use RTV? Also, does it take 4 bottles of the Purple Crap or 5 for both axles?


NJ

[cajun_lad]

You can use RTV or gaskets, either way. I actually have 2 dana 44 gaskets laying around if you need them... don't know what's on your rig... I'll PM you my number for directions.

[nicsfsj]

Yep they are both D44's so 4 or 5 bottles of Royal Purple?


NJ

[cajun_lad]

Ughhh... I don't have a clue....

[YoungClayB]

Sorry to interject...what does WOT stand for? I've seen this thread for days and not knowing is driving me crazy. :eek:

Have fun at your ...
- World of Trees?
- Weekend of Tights?
- Wanters of Trebeck?
- Wizz on Tanks?

Inquiring minds want to know. :D

[cajun_lad]

Wrench-O-Thon..... :thumbsup:
