2010 National Scramble: June 24-26th, Sparta TN

Also, remember you can print and fill out the waiver I attached to post #54 in this thread! Easier than dealing with it at registration... it's required for all rigs in the park.
 
Time flies when you're having fun (read in the garage). Had no idea it was this late. :D

Got the nasty stock overflow bottle pulled, got the fan away from the shiny new radiator, routed overflow lines better, reattached rear view mirror that was removed by a member-to-remain-nameless' kid last weekend, RainXed the windshield FINALLY, figured out my new spare tire mount and rack system :smokin: but had bought the wrong sized u-bolts to install, finalized the setup for my third "bow" for the soft top, found my butch fuel filter mount had broken and designed a new one, cut/bent it up, need to weld and paint tomorrow... think that's it. Didn't get started until 10 so no surprise it's this late now.

Might just pull an all nighter, been a LOOONG time since I did that :) The combination of the new camper-to-be, the National, the World Cup, and the PGA starting tomorrow is just TOO MUCH!!!!!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!
 
HAHAHA, I was wondering if you'd read that. No biggie and well worth the fun of the show and seeing y'all :D
 
I figured as much. I was hoping it was the original glue and not something you repaired recently. He was pulling down on the little smiley face guy and making him snap back up (which he knows better to do anyway).
 
Nah, it'd been on there since I had the windshield done. Really no biggie at all.

Got the proper Ubolts to make my rack setup work and the last piece for my new spare tire holder. Looks like another late night in the garage :D
 
I just made a new thread to help folks (like me) that are looking to wheel Wed and/or Sunday (or any other additional days):

https://www.cj-8.com/forum/showthread.php?p=192052#post192052

These extra days are NOT part of the registration for the National and you will need to check in and pay the day rate for the additional wheeling days. Anthony and Lisa are the two folks at the park that you will need to find.

:smokin:

Turns out, I'm not just sitting on the side lines. After making a 2,000 mile trip around TN last week camping, the front upper ball joint on the truck needed replacing. We tore it down last night and I installed the new ball joint tonight. While the axle shaft was out, I decided to go ahead and replace the u-joint. Glad I did as one cup was squeaky dry and would have needed changing out in a few more thousand anyhow. Went to put the new one in which I've had on the shelf for a few months and found out it's for a driveshaft. I'll be able to pick up one in the morning, just won't be the Spicer that I prefer.

So hopefullly tomorrow morning I'll get the truck back together so Sunday we can load the camper and start getting everything loaded up for our departure Tuesday evening. Hope to spend Tuesday night near the SC/NC state line, pick up a set of door at 8am Wednesday in Asheville, then make it to Golden Mountain by 2pm.

After this week here in Charleston, 92 is going to seem cool. But we will once again have some ice cream sandwiches to share for afternoon snacks back at camp.
 
Tow vehicle broke

Always something that has to be done. I was planning on going to Harlan Ky. with some of our guys that do the extreme, got everything done on the scrambler, scrambler loaded up, put on the trailer, and started to move everything up to the house. Put foot on the brakes of my tow vehicle and guess what, pedal goes to the floor no brakes, plus it's hotter than blue blazes. A hard line after the ABS system to the rear brakes ruptured, let air get into Abs system, and it takes a special scanner to be able to bleed brakes. The brake line itself will be hard enough to repair but I can't find a scanner anywhere other than a GM dealer and they're not for sale or rent. Now what in the world am I going to do. I just hope I can get it fixed before the nationals.:angry::banghead::shrug::(

Truck is back together so now I can start the loading process and go back to watching every one else scramble. :popcorn:

Don, hope that brake line isn't too much of a headache. Despite what most people say about needing scanners to bleed the ARB, a lot of times it isn't absolutely necessary.
 
Sorry to hear that Don! Hope you can manage to get it figured out!
 
Leaving in the morning. Dropping the Scrambler off at Golden Mountain Park. Heading to Pennsylvania. Should be back in Sparta by Wednesday. 1420 miles just to Pennsylvania. Gonna have a hard time sleeping tonight.
See Ya'll there,
Peter
