If you talking about Kaimana beach, no pool.. Elks doesn't have much of a beach, but at least there is parking.. If your honorary sticker gets me parking and a pool, we can talk.. that being said, the "view" at Kaimana is probably A LOT better than the Elks club.. lol.. and as far as "exclusive", i heard about the fee at outrigger.. and no pool..

 

Actually I put 5-6 coats on my skid plate and I put a ton of miles on my truck and not a single break in the skin yet. And I know there's tons of rocks and stuff hitting it everyday. I've gone thru the car wash and still nothing. So just lay it on thick and it should last you a while as long as you don't actually hit your bumper on something solid. I'll probably go with the heavier bumper one day too.

 

Whats up my man!?!
I have to get my damn sliders finished and out of my shop before I can do anything. The shop is a disaster area right now...
Got absolutely nothing done this 3 day weekend. Cousin came over from maui, and was just too lazy and tired to work
I still have that aluminum plate, but I have been using my compressor, and I think the plate it sits on is fine, and the rubber mounts it already has will be sturdy enough. I think we should just drill the plate and make risers to mount it to the studs in the engine bay.

 

What are you talking about, the nadatorium is included with my membership. Lol...and the view is definitely better but might be more hazardous to your health! Nah I'm just teasing but really don't think it's all the it's cracked up to be.

 

Yep.. hazardous to my health from getting whacked on the head by my wife from looking at yhe "view".. lol.. our friend (the member) may be leaving hawaii sooner than later and since you need a sponsor.. lol.. you get the gist. Lol.. just thoughts for now.. The croc ctr is $100a month. Yes you do get a gym and a water slide, but that is steep!!!

 

Looks awesome!

 

well.... got some good news and some bad news.


the good: truck is cleaned up. had a blast at kaena pulling guys out of sum crazy mud pits lol and i got the truck as dirty as could without breaking anything.

put about 40 lbs of mud on my driveway lol


the bad: lost mikes tow rope after lending it to a guy that needed it for that supercharged 4runner that almost got lost. and took 4hours to clean the truck with kaleo's pressure washer in the dark. pressure washed some of my plasti dip off the rims because there was so much mud on it i couldn't get it off without getting super close. (good thing its plastidip so i dont care)


the really good!: when i left kaena i ran into the guys that borrowed mikes tow rope... and ended up with an extra tow rope because it was extended with another one... they just told me to take em both however they are so tight together there its gunna be some work to get it of! lol i pressure washed them a lil also.

i got plenty of pics but my phone died so ill upload them tomorrow morning

 

I kinda wish I had gone, but if was that slick then no way

I did wash the truck instead. Looks shiny again!

 

I was strapped for time and just wiped my truck down with my hand with running water...all the oily mud came right off.

If I didn't back into my GF's uncle's car I would have had more time to clean the wheels.....my tow hitch went right through the headlight. Ordered a new assembly for $46 shipped, lucky it's an old Saturn

 

Yeah, those worm gears have great control and no need for drag brakes.

 

Looks good, so those are sliders with bolt on steps?

 

Sounds like you guys had some fun. I ended up going right when Matt was driving in. You liking the MTZs in the mud? My Trail grapplers did really well, I was impressed.

Hope you can get the straps apart, might have to cut one to salvage Mike's. Depends on the knot, I guess.

 

maybe I should have left my other one with hooks on both ends, easy to separate

 

3 day weekends = relaxation.
Saw pics of your sliders and it's bad ass (bullaculla built) . Can't wait to see it finished/mounted/utilized.
Mahalos for fabbing up the compressor bracket . Just let me know when pau or if you need to take more measurements. I can swing by your hale.

 

Hey Phil and mike, Was the black 4 runner nose deep in the mud? And the guy went swimming in the mud hole If so that was my friend from work. They also watched you guys pull out the dodge.

 

Yeah. I left before they went swimming.

 

That 4runner was in there a long time. After I seen Mike outside the gate, I went in looking for Phil them (not knowing who I was looking for). When I drove past the 4runner, it was already nose deep and someone was already trying to pull him out. About an hour later, while I was coming out, the 4 runner was still stuck, along with the 1st gen tacoma (which Phil was pulling out). That hole was fricken deep.

 

I'm still waiting for pics!

 

Was it a kinda pearl white 1st gen? If so it was my other friend from work. Tall skinny Japanese guy

 

Iven...you should ask your friends at work if that was them out there...lol And tell them to get 4wd trucks before attempting deep mud plunges...
