Goatfest in Johnson Valley Nov 13-14

Well.... Tonight didn't go as planned. I was only able to loosen the hitch bolts. Hopefully tomorrow I'll at least be able to install the gas tank skid plate.

If I don't make it, I'M BLAMING CAROL!!!!! :yap:




Yikes... That doesn't sound good.

Yeah tell me about it E. I'm tired of pulling the damn transmission

be prepared to remove the plastic thats already there. i just installed my gas tank skid and it would not fit at all until i removed the plastic from it. im also assuming your putting in a stock skid cuz thats what i put in lol.
 
Get a nice sharp matt knife, and start slicing away. That is how I got mine out to install my skid plate.

You guys have fun out there this weekend, maybe I will walk through downtown Beijing and look for a lifted Cherokee, and hope he speaks english!
 
After we put the kids to sleep, I'm going to install a front and gas tank skid tank. Tomorrow I need to weld up the rear driver wheel well. Then, I should be good to go. It looks like it'll be just Saturday for me.

Forget the front skid, pretty useless and it will save you some time. :)
 
Anthony, that sucks... and it's weird, too.

E & Grimm, I hope you both make it!!

I'm on countdown mode... my Jeep's already out there, my dog keeps nudging my elbow while I'm trying to type, and (knock on wood) it's been a reasonable day in Purchasing land here at my store so things are going well.

I'll be OTD at noon, buzzing along towards the mythic land of rocks & dirt in my Mitsubishi Mirage. I'll try not to get Hi-C'd in it on a rut in the lakebed...

Carol, I know it's weird... I put soo much time and money into it. I'm not giving up. I scored another bell housing(thanks Gerr) and will be putting it in tonight in lucerne valley. If anyone wants to lend me a hand that'll be greatly appreciated. I plan to not sleep and arrive tomorrow at 8am on that damn lake bed!
