what's on your johnson valley to do list.....

[Goatman]

Got my new PSC power steering box and pump in today. Definatly better power for turning. itll do the job. Oddly enough twice allready on the freeway I lost power steering. Then it would come back a minute later. not sure, hoping its just bubbles or something trying to bleed air out. But it works so I'l watch it this week.
Gotta pull both cat's and put it a straight pipe for now. They are getting so hot that the floor is smoking on the passenger side. Maybe do some rocklights like everybody else. if I have time.
Check all fluids and top off.
Go through my tools and setup one bag for the trail a couple for camp.
clean out hte jeep.
build my toilet. build my shower.
organize all my camp stuff.
figure out what the hell else I need to do/put together.
oh and make the cooler for my beer and if I get time, new tap handles.

Ryan, did you bleed the system by turning it lock to lock a bunch of times with the engine off?

Tin foil under the carpet padding works really well..........been there, done that.

We'll have a couple of johns out there.

I guess that needs to be said but Duh... Unless your like the others out there that 'own' the hammers and pick'em all up when you do have them left over...

Well I will be there fri night as well as sat and I Know it will be Cold.... So whats wrong with a little extra wood.. I will say that if your bringing as much as you make it sound like, then with what we are bringing (about 3/4 of a 06 f-150 bed) we should have a nice fire...

Yep....Not directed at you, but sometimes people bring pallets to burn and never think about all the nails they're leaving for a $300 tire to find.

Definetely bring wood for Friday because I won't be there yet. I'm sure between the two of us well have more than enough. Last year I think I left a pile out there.

So when did the paintjob that was awesome when I was working on it suddenly become shitty?


All my work in vein!

The problem is not what YOU did, it is what I did.

This morning I finished the crappy paint job and worked on enlarging the seat belt mounting holes a tad.

Being in full-thrash Jeep mode for the last month has paid off well.

My list is now:

1. install 4 calipers & bleed the system
2. lock 4 nuts in place
3. add 2 more ga. gear oil
4. install rear shocks (if I ever get them........)
5. catch up on Tivo

Woot!

[ckh550]

Diff cover, bumpstops, new Claw, pack, straighten the Currie tie rod, rock lights (hopefully), and say my prayers because I'm pretty sure JV is gonna kick my skinny white ass.

The messud up part is that you'll have a blast too!

 

[Rawbrown]

clean out the inside of my jeep so that it doesn't all spill out when I roll.
screw rocklights, they are overated! Top off fluids. pack tools and spares into jeep. finish setting up camp stuff. I made a toilet seat last night. Aluminum 3 leg seat that holds a trash. Making the shower tonight. I have most of the parts I just need to make the shower curtain part of it.
regear someones front axle tomorrow.
Keg and carbonate the california cream Ale.
Carbonate the trappist and porter.
The beer wagon is done, I just need to make some tap handles and come up with cool names for the beer.
Go figure I have 25 gallons of beer in my garage and I go out the other night and spent $30 at bevmo on no more than 6 bottles of beer.
I'm sure I have other stuff to do but I can't think of it right now.:cheers:

Rocklights will be a blessing for night runs this time round since there will basically be no moon out there and it can get REAL dark in those canyons.

thanks for reminding me to bring the fireworks

 

[Rawbrown]

yeah we ran Claw last year at night with no moon. Ron was the only one that had rocklights and he got stuck.
I wear a headlamp for spotting and it works great.
i'm not saying I don't need them, I just don't have time to mess with them.

They seem to be more important for trail repairs than they are for wheelin

 

[Rawbrown]

I spent about $70 on a good headlamp. Worth its weight in gold both as a spotter and a mechanic.
BTW, your not allowed to break!
