NW Washington Mod Day

Maybe I can sell him my soul....

Pretty much all I have right now haha

 

Going pretty well, thanks. It's less painful when you go with the allograft. The disadvantage is that it seems to take another month or two longer than the patella/hamstring method to recover to a point where you can start running around. It's a big improvement over January when my knee would crack every other step. My surgeon said it would be very difficult if there were ever a need for a third ACL surgery. All I know is that I am taking it VERY easy this time around. The crappy part is that I think the re-injury happened back in July when I was walking down the stairs. We have a little yorkie that took a piss at the bottom of the stairs which I didn't see it in time, slipped and wrenched my knee.

Falling off the back of the Taco and wiping out on dog piss. I am not very lucky lately...

 

Id come down for the day but in school on the 17th. If it got delayed to the 24th Ill be there.

 

If it ends up raining that day then it will most likely get delayed to the 24th.

 

I'm thinking I want to plasti-dip my lower valance. Has anybody done this before and what write-up do you recommend?

 

wash it
dry it
mask it of
Derp it

sit back and enjoy a brew

 

Sounds like I will be around on the 17th, so hopefully we can do mod day then.

 

Sweet! See you there!

 

I wish I could get in on this!

 

I hope it gets pushed back so I can make it the 17th is the weekend before finals week

 

It might, depending on if the weather is crappy or not. As long as Brett is okay with that. Just have to wait till its closer and watch the weather.


Cause those are always true...

 

If it gets pushed back I'll need a hand installing a winch and a dual battery set up

 

Looking to adapt my 58" Thule cross bars to fit the bed track system. Have a design in mind, but no access to welding. even if i did, it has been too long since i last welded.

basically looking for welder recommendations.

 

As in to buy a welder? It mostly depends on how much you will actually use it, and for what applications mainly. There are a lot of good ones to choose from. I have always been a fan of miller.

If you need something welded up at the meet, I, as well as several other guys I'm sure, can weld for you. I think there will be a welder there.

 

You going to help me shore up my cab mounts after I chop most them off Nick?

 

x2

 

If you guys need a welder I can weld for you. Ill have to practice my verticals before the meet to make sure they will look good haha.

 

I don't care how it looks i just care if the welds are solid

 

There is a guy around here with an FJ that is running 35's. He cut his mounts completely off except for the area the bolt/boot contacted the frame. He has over 130K on the rig now and no trouble from it. I don't trust it enough to do it myself.


Searching for pics now.

 

I would love to but i've done the math and i can't swing 35's and locker and regear that's like 5k and i would be on the ramen noodle every meal budget
