Florida B.S. Thread

Sounds good to me!

 

you want one too huh

 

I want one!!!

 

i think i need to buy a notcher......


Jason, I picked up some steel today to get started on some things, and got prices on just about everything i thought i might use.....4'x8'x3/16'' was $191.85. That's right around where you were quoted right?

also, what diamiter are your sliders, 1.5''?

 

Whatcha building now?

 

Colin, no way! Maybe that's a good sign. Haha. One of my buddies had an 86 Yamaha FJ1200 and he said he played hell trying to get OEM replacement parts for it. Said the tire size wasn't carried anymore and it was a nightmare to work on. I'm moderately quick when it comes to learning ab mechanical issues so I'm thinking about getting it. I'm going to keep looking though. Maybe a newer ninja or night hawk first.

 

Damn i would be all for a bumper like that!!!

Colin are you still looking at doing the overhead racks for AC's? I know we talked about it briefly at the citrus meet but hadn't thought about it since.

 

I wouldn't mind.

 

Idk about fink but I had a blast, no pics of the trails but the aftermath of the trails

 

I had fun too.
On my way back home I tried to stop at one of those windshield washer things at the service plaza and it didn't work too well so the guy at the gas station offered to hose down the windows and mirrors. He was laughing at how dirty I had the truck.

I only got like two pictures while we were there but I'll go out and see how much he washed off yesterday.

 

Your truck was covered in mud!!!!

 

Yea it was.
Did discover a little damage though...
I think I fried the relay controlling the lower Hellas and the hoses under the hood came off from their holders and then another...thing...broke. Got a pic of it. Doesn't look too devastating.

Uploading pics now...

 

The weird hose thing. I don't recall the smaller power wire for the hood light to be that taunt. And the relay on the right looks like one of the wires was loose and sludge got on it.


White engine.


Left the windows down again...passenger side.


Nasty from when I had to climb back in from hooking the strap.


It got everywhere.


From when the wheel was just spinning and throwing that mucky clay everywhere!


Ghost front end.








Right after I got out of the big clay hole.


Posted up.


Posing.





Spot Jesse got stuck in Citrus.


And I wish gas prices were this cheap down in West Palm! We're paying close to $3.85 per gallon

 

It was a good day! I'm down for crooms anytime. Citrus not so much.

 

the plate steel was just in refference to a preveous conversation with jason about building skids. i'm starting jerry can mounts today though that will work with the 2nd gen bed rails. rough sketch is up on the overland offroad fabrications facebook page

he sold it before i was born, so he didn't have it long enough to have to worry about replacement parts, but he said it ws great. he even took it on unmaintained roads to go camping. solid bike, but the parts issue may be the killer.

i'm sure i could work a design out. i need to take a good look at an AC first though to figure out how to mount it.

Mike, how did you get those spots all over thetailgate and rear window? looks like fink just spun his tire right behind you lol

 

Well he crawled into the mud, so I had to give him a yank. But while I was waiting on him he was working it and just blasted my truck... and me lol I took cover!!!!

 

haha, looks like the lower lights made some contact

 

Man crooms had some sick spots we should get another group to go next weekend maybe?

 

I told you it was the hardest spot to get dirty and people would notice.

Yea when I was crawling up the hills in that big clay pit in Citrus, they got a little beat up. Maybe I'll just keep them angled with the brushguard then so they don't get too banged up.

I can't do this coming weekend and the following, the 18th, is that Orlando meet.
