October 2015 Citrus/Croom Camp & Ride Weekend...

That Coleman was on walmart site on rollback for 50 bucks. Has ss hinges not plastic ones that will rip over time.

 

lol

 

Ordered a Warn medium duty winch kit that will be here Wednesday. Probably won't need it this weekend but It's definitely a necessity item.

 

I need to order a winch already and are you coming out Saturday or Sunday @allenfab

 

I believe sunday only if I heard right on Saturday. What all comes in the kit todd?

 

Damn and I was wanting to see that thing in action

 

Sunday only unfortunately

 

And I'll only be there Sunday

 

I got a $50 coleman from walmart for $15 because it was in the wrong spot

 

Nice haha. I need to fab up some brackets or ill just mount my pods on the front bumper. cant decide yet

 

my smittybilt 3x30 foot strap is rated at 30,000 pounds lol. I got to finally use my snatch block the other day lol. Yesterday my buddy got stuck in the sand trying to snatch me out and we were like 12 feet or so side by side after me winching myself to a semi-traction area. We were debating how to get him out once I got myself unstuck, but me being 2wd with no locker and stock gears on 35s...we were unsure how I was going to winch him out....until I realized I had the snatch block in the truck. So we hooked my winch up to my 30 foot strap since we were not sure if my winch line would make it to the tree I was hooked up to and back to my buddy and just gave him a little tug and he got loose and his 4x4 and locker kicked in and he got moving. That snatch block is really nice to have lol, spur of the moment plan haha, figured id get him out since he could continue under his own power and then I could continue winching myself out

 

I have a 52qt Coleman cooler that's older that some of the guys going to this shindig. It has plastic hinges that are perfectly intact. The one I had before it, IIRC, was an Igloo of similar size. It worked great as well until some wise arse was screwing around and backed the work truck into a tree at a high rate of speed. My poor cooler ended up with a gas-powered Miller stick welder on top of it when they both slid off the back of the truck. The welder was fine; the cooler...not so much. The mighty Igloo gave it's life to protect the welder.

 

Haha. We'll this one seems to be built pretty well.

 

Should last you for decades as long as you keep it out from under from heavy pieces of machinery. The only complaint I have about mine is that there's no convenient way to tie it down. The method I currently use works, but I'm always afraid I'm eventually going to break the plastic handles off it. It really needs d-rings or something.

 

Great story lol always good to hear those wise folk tales

 

Are there any of those permanent charcoal grills at the campsites?

 

How about fire pits would like to bring up some oak and cook over It and enjoy a fire if weather is right

 

Not that I saw, just fire pits

Yes with a grate

 

Alright that should work just fine

 

Got my master cylinder today.

Here's hoping for a clean, problem-free install.
