For Stock Rigs Only

Wow ... took me waaay too long to pull my head out this time.

Hope all are well here.

 

Back in time for Mechanic Mike's track reports

 

MOOSIE !!!!

We won all our races. There was a practice session the second day and we tried some things that didn’t work. So just but it back…
Extremely hot and was taxing….
Took a lot of effort and drive to have “Fun” this weekend.

 

Great job Mike

 

Good on ya Mike.

Just back from Whiskey Gulch ... brought me outta my funk.
We tried a new "bow bunk" trailer rig for pulling the zodiac up off the beach down there ... utter failure made the wheeler dig in and bottom out. Had to pull Stitch down on the top section of beach twice to winch it up thru the loose deep shtuff. Next recovery we went back to how we've it for 14 years, no problem up we came. "Don't fix what ain't broke."
I wanted to leave the bow bunk rig on the beach for someone grab for salvage ... but the young guns are convinced it'll work if they change some angles ... so it came back. My name's Bennett and I ain't in it.
Hope you are well, how's your lovely wife?

So frustrated with management at work ... gotta tough it out 2 yrs 9 months. Hope I can get there.

 

Carol is great thank you.

These young pups keep trying to reinvent the wheel.
Glad to see you.

 

Thx Brother

 

Just a dumb question, I would assume that a hot track eats tires much quicker

 

It can blister a tire for sure..

 

Good friends right here lol

 

Spent the day doing maintenance on this pile, as well as a little welding to improve some things.

 

Nice "pile"

 

Happy Monday Stocktopia.

 

Went wheelin' in New Hampshire yesterday with some TW friends.


STOCk 3rd gen with sliders and a skid plate (accessories). No lift. These trucks are amazingly capable.

 

But sometimes things don't go according to plan....

 

Morning Mike and Stockers

Hiya Smoke

Just needs winch accessory.

 

where at, generally, CT? looks like what becomes a river every spring. I don't think I'd go there...

oof!!

 

Never understood the thought process of taking a nice clean newer truck and beating the shit out of it and breaking stuff then lying through your teeth and trying to get the manufacturer to pay for your
Dumbass stupidity. Then having the manufacturer advertise said vehicle hinting it can drive vertically over a rock ledge (aka a smooth camp road) without a problem and a water crossing (aka a puddle) up to its window.
But, what do I know….

LOL hehehehe.

 

This is why I've told these guys I'd never sell any of them my pristine 10 year old truck...ever
It would kill me to see it beat to crap

BTW...looks like late August on the cabinets.

And...are you running Thompson at all this year?

 

Morning
One more security camera to install.
Still debating on over the ft door or off to the side under the eve on the corner.
Technically, I think I should have 6 or 7 but going to work with 4.
Another hot one…..
Be safe people…
