I sure have no issues with what kind of rig someone brings.
Wonder whatever happened to the blazer guy? (Ryan I think)

[Sambo]

i think his name was ryan.

Well, it's official.
I'm giving a state mandated test Oct, 28th, it will last most of the day.

We'll probably try to get to Silver City that night as Em does not get home from the base until 5:30 or so, that would put us in Silver about 10pm at best. If we tried to make 'Cruces it would be after midnight, 1am with the time change.

So it looks like we'll be coming in the morning of the 29th.
You folks will probably head out and we'll still have to set up camp, unload, all that jazz.
Looking forward to some good wheeling and friends even though it's not for as many days as we had hoped for.

Missed it by thaaaat much...

Crud! Once again my job keeps me from playing. I think I'm gonna have to miss this year by about 3 or 4 weeks! Nuts!
Oh well...have fun all!

[Michael]

Well I am down and out this year. Had some issues this past weekend wheelin in Clayton Oklahoma....long story, but basically needs an engine, axle swap etc.... and I did not see much of the trail....so who has an extra seat that can pick me up from the airport?

Good news.....

1. Engine replacement...have one sitting in the shop which was going into Jodies project, guess she will get the 401....

2. Ummmm well I guess I will be putting my Rockwells in and swapping my axles over to Jodies future toy.

Just no time and short on $$$

[fulsizjeep]

that is a bummer Michael...

no carnage thread?

airport in El Paso?

[Michael]

Na I do not get too excited about carnage....especially when you break stuff in 2wd....LOL

Yeah it will probably be El Paso.

[fulsizjeep]

Ah, oh well then, never mind... Keep us tuned in, someone can surely pick you up and share a seat. I guess I better tend to getting the heater blower and wipers working pretty soon.

[Sambo]

jaime is close,or one of us could do the trip maybe.from the cbad crew.

on the other hand i am trying to get that blasted pilot bushing out of the crank,from cats old motor! how do you do that???

[Sambo]

did a quik search and found some solutions.he goes nothing

[Sambo]

the grease/dowel rod method worded very well!
had a party last night,wife and i had our 15th yr anniversary weds.
So as soon as i get my butt out of this chair i am headed out to install the newly rebuilt tranny. cant wait to see how the new 1800 stall is gonna work

[j2sax]

For future reference, I prefer using bar soap to pack in behind the pilot bushing... especially if the flywheel is still in place. (in the case of an auto/flexplate it wouldn't matter). I just think the cleanup from the soap is easier. Also had a bad experience with a dowel that was slightly undersized allowing some of the highly compressed grease by. Decided it would not have been fun to catch that in the eye!

Congrats on your successful completion of the task and survivin.... er I mean celebrating 15 yr's of wedded bliss! (We just celebrated our 19th last weekend!)

[Heimeken]

Hey Michael, I'd be glad to pick you up and you are welcome to stay at my place depending on your itinerary. Give me a call or send me a PM.
