The Lair

Ok, schools in. What are you guys doing with the winches? I know what spooling means but why are you applying tension and winding them with the extra weight?

Thanks.

 

When you initially buy a winch, your first spool needs to be under a 1,000 lb load. This both stretches the rope (sorta like breaking it in) and winds it up nice and tight on the winch drum.

Any other time you pull your winch line out, you want to put it back under load as well. That's just so it gets wrapped nice and tight and doesn't get all tangled up in there.

 

Ahh, cool, good to know. Thanks a bunch.

 

And don’t worry, I haven’t forgotten about your pm! Just haven’t had the time yet to sit down and write a thorough response. Gonna take at least a half an hour.

 

@HolyHandGrenade lives in town. @Wheelspinner is pretty close to there.. @Subway4X4 is at meets around these guys and more. Throw in @fatfurious2 and there’s a TW express in there somewhere...

 

Yeah Tim is who I bought the shovel from. Just trying to figure out someone to bring it down to rausch or aoaa sometime. Actually planning a rausch trip next Saturday so if Kevin is close, it’d work out perfectly.

Also not sure if this needs to be said but you are always invited on any of our wheeling trips. I know you don’t hit the offroad parks quite as often as us but the invitation stands.

 

LOLOLOLOL it's not that long. I was just asking about 6112s/5160s. Also, remember those HD JBAs? Saw them on Ebay. Stopped bidding at 450. They went for 500 + 14 shipping.

You got me hooked on the JBAs though. Hit the link on @Blackout14 page. Now I know I don't need the HD version. Of course, not that I don't listen to you.

JBA was having a sale on the OME kit. Not with the 888s though.

Gonna be adding widow garnish's (yes plural) this weekend whether it rains or not!

Oh! Get this, that K&N, dry filter! I fuckin' oiled it! I'm a idiot! Gonna fix that this weekend too. Clean the MAF sensor and de-oil the filter.

Oh Oh! Checked out Rausch and AOAA online today. November????? At least I'm considering it.

 

Appreciated


Also @Wheelspinner brother frequents AOAA. Hope it works out before the winter freeze.

Had the beach buggy in Pa last weekend for my wife’s sister’s wedding..
Does this really look like Pa.




Currently in NH for my sisters wedding weekend..






After the wedding craziness I’m getting the truck ready to go camping in Vt with my daughter in September and another boys trip to Va again in October to pop @Tom mike overlamd cherry

 

Very nice!

I think I know that area in Pa. Was there a large roundabout near there with shops and such?

You truck looks great in every shot!

 

My dope scrub bottoms. I'm gonna ask if I can keep them.

 

Looks like 2 hours

 

Is it on your way at all to rausch?

 

I’ve had to wear those before. Super baggy and loose. I got the shorts versions though to show off my legs.

 

They won't let me keep them

 

Does that mean you’re almost done?

 

Nah looks like that zip is all the way up by NY. I'm across from Philly on the Jersey side. Maybe need one more link in the delivery chain. Closest I will be is at the intersection of 476 and 78 in PA but that only cuts it down to an hour 40 away. Not sure how far the seller is able to travel though, I can travel little East on 78.

 

I'm done now

 

Be there in 2 hr 45 mins

 

Loose baggy scrubs like that are my work uniform everyday, it's like working in pajamas. Mine aren't that sweet purple though

 

Nah don’t even worry about it then. The seller comes down to aoaa and rausch every so often so I’ll just grab it from him then. I’m not in any big rush to get it.
