    Definitely a good day on Sunday! It was cool to meet all you guys, and I'm glad I could lend a hand on a couple of the projects. There are definitely some nice rigs running around ABQ.

    I wish I could have stuck around for the re-gear, that would have been interesting.

    Jim, glad to hear you found a tank. I still feel a little bad for helping to talk you into putting another hole in your stock tank.

    Silas, I'm glad I got to check out the dragon before it goes off to a new home... that thing is sick.

    Worth it! Ok maybe not but it was fun.

    Glad you could meet the guys, I wish John and Gian could have made it seeing as they are the guys that are actually going to moab. would have been cool to meet them.

    IDK if you saw in the other thread, but there is a shakedown meet for moab on May 11th. Just to go over gear like spare parts, tools, camp stuff, etc.. And any last minute projects that need a few hands.

    Hmmm, it would be handy to have one around the garage but I did blow my budget for the month. Might ping you about borrowing it this weekend. Gotta see if the piggy bank is dry.

    That was kind of the point behind me showing up in the first place... to meet the Moab group and put some names to faces. Oh well like I was telling you, I still learned some things and got to do some new stuff, so it all worked out.

    I did see that shakedown meet. I'm off that day, so unless something comes up, I can make it. I need to finish the new fence so I can get to work on some skids.

    Also, who bought the supercharger that I posted about on SF craigslist? I noticed it sold and I'm curious what it sold for.

    One of the bolts for the links came loose and the link smacked into the gas tank and ripped it. Went to replace it with a tank from a '96 only to find they are different and wont work

    The job thing does tend to suck sometimes :( And I wish that they were back on, Its been busy but after shift tonight I will be getting to the suspension the top rack for the taco and then on to the big brutes in the garage. :D

    Just let me know.

    Just let me know if you want to go out earlier then that and we can figure out something.

    And sorry to everyone for not making the meet but it's hard to when you can barely keep your eyes open.

    Hey Jim. I believe www.ruffstuffspecialities.com is having a kit sale and that includes the Johnny Joints and tube ends. You might want to check them out.
