HawsFF59 Build

Wow those things are huge. Congrats on the maiden voyage.. Any hiccups or notes from the first time out?

 

Took junior out on his own. He learned real quick the difference between stock and modified (-;

 

No it ran really good. Of course if I bind it up and try to turn sharp it'll rub, but thats a good way to break a cv axle too. I try to avoid do that.

 

Nice! I was in Walla Walla today, but didn't have time to BS. I need to see this beast in person one of these days.

 

Ill be wheeling tomorrow hopefully, and this weekend as well. Your always welcome to join!

 

Hey Shawn.. are you still running the 2" body lift or did you get rid of it? I like your tub job, looks like you cleared up top too.. looking good

 

Yes I stuck with it for room to clock the crawl box. Though I think only an inch is needed.

 

What crawl box you running?.. I'm sure it's somewhere if I dug in your build

 

Marlin 4.7, Ive been on a waiting list for a year now. Its suppose to ship January.... Fingers crossed

 

I've got this stupid job thing they make me go to. I'm buying scratch its so I can retire someday.

 

On the weekends too?? Dang keep scratching

 

We are a 24-7 365 operation...you know how that goes. You end up with 4 days in a row off in the middle of the week when everyone else is at work, or off on the weekends but "on call" so you can't go in the woods. It's still way better than my last job, at least nobody shoots at me and I've only seen a couple bodies. Scratch its.
Oh I got a PM from a dude named Pete that works Pendleton fire that recognized my FJ80. Anyhow that makes three of us TW'ers in the area.

 

Well mid week could work for me sometimes. My schedule changes all the time too. Just got home from the mountains. Its warmer and the snow was wet and heavy on top with soft dry snow below. NOT HAPPY!! up around the 4000+ ft level it was better

 

I just got back from Ellensburg. They got some snow up there, but it's pretty mushy already. We should get some more through next week in the higher elevations of the blues, but in town will be rain mostly. I might get some free time this weekend, where and when exactly are you going? It's a big might, but I'm hopeful.

Nice build! You're in/around Walla Walla? I'm from there! I'll be sure to look for this beast driving around!

 

Yep, thats home
