Wisconsin area events

Good to see everyone for
Southeastern Wisconsin Fluid Film day!


Setting the fluid film can in a 5 gallon bucket of warm water made it smooth as butter!
A big thanks to @Camerasandcoffee for supplying the driveway, spray gun, air compressor, and all the tools needed!


Thanks to @Thatbassguy for the Mickeys beer!

A big thanks to @McSpazatron for the help with the 4Runner. I owe you a few beers!

(This thing has everyplace imaginable covered in fluid film) My T-shirt has been retired!!!!

Clean!!




and as always….
Great to see @WiscoPat.
You got to see a fat guy wedged under a truck.

Your vehicle is just amazing.

@Skynet Surfer
Great to meet the new guy from California, now a Wisconsin resident.
Thanks for driving a couple hours for the fun!





@ajmogen
Now I get your comments on not using 1 gallon per vehicle!
Yep one can only used on 4 vehicles and plenty left in the can!

 

The pleasure was mine! It’s not often you get to see a 4runner frame as pristine, untouched, and factory fresh as that one! I’ll cry a little for you when you take on the next gravel road. But we all know it’s for its own good.

That spray gun sure made application really efficient. That said a full gallon per car only adds 10 pounds to the car lol. It’s nothing to be ashamed of. I mean a queen cut prime rib can feed two or three people, but Im happier when I get one for myself

 

I’m trying to convince her to check out Potosi Brewery!! So a little of the
Trans Wisconsin Adventure Trail on a rainy day!



I tried using a gallon on the 4Runner. I spayed everything that the wand would fit in. I went under the exhaust heat shield, inside the frame, outside the frame, spare tire, bumpers, and the hitch. After all that the entire underside got a coating. I didn’t touch the back hatch.
The application wasn’t that bad.

 

Any complaints about farmyard smells yet?

 

The wife drove it earlier today. Just asked her if it still smelled.

Nope. She said she noticed it yesterday but it’s fine today.
All good.


Now I Just got to get it on a gravel road.

 

Finally going through the photos and videos from the last T.W.A.T run. Here are a few select files.
The rest can be found here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1AWnCKOVvvvwmr_tMtdfBjLkk_VOof0Ug?usp=sharing
I'm hoping to edit it all together into 1 video at some point.

 

Awesome pictures!! Thank you for sharing them!

 

Very nice!
After seeing how nice your drone shots turned out, I don’t feel so bad that mine is still overlooking the Delta Diner.

Potosi!!!!!

 

Yes we looked for you at point detour and it was closed I had a very poor cell signal to check the posts. I had the TWAT loaded on gaia and the wife I did the trial until about 3 PM.

 

I was wondering if you guys had given up on us. We went up there Saturday morning, but later than we planned on leaving. Sorry about the confusion!

How far did you get?

 

We were back on pavement just west of Park Falls

 

We had lunch at Atkins lake.

 

Did you guys make it all the way to HWY 70? There's a road between 77 and 70, FR327, that has been nicknamed the "Pinstripe Road." That's where my 4Runner got it's first 500 scratches.

Just curious if you went through there.
