Picked up a nail just into the sidewall this week apparently. :angry: Guess I'll find out if it can hold a plug ok. If not that can be a real pain to get resolved in short order.
Need to add some wiring to connect the CB radio, figure out how to mount my Junk box and hi-lift jack and I think I'll be ready.
 
This year the SOA will not have a ticket sale for raffle prizes at the National Event. However the SOA will have prizes to give away. Some of the vendors who have sponsored the SOA raffle in the past were contacted and given the opportunity to donate items as door prizes at this year’s event.

This is the last update, I am leaving at 5:00 A.M. Tuesday.
See you at Golden Mt. with all of the goodies.

Pappy, just awesome work!! :bow:


I made it to Cincinnati with no drama other than a wrinkled up rear window (had it rolled up for ventilation). Having a beer at the hotel to celebrate making it halfway. Work is going to SUCK tomorrow. All I can hope is that it goes fast. :rolleyes:
 
Well like a few others I thought I wasnt gonna have to scramble at the last min for this . . . but Murphy reared his ugly head.:banghead:
Spent what felt like all day putting new upper and lower ball joint in the Dually. Sunday I was spending time with the family and thoroughly enjoyed it. Got to work today and was informed we have a guy out from surgery so Im working 12 hr shifts all week.:angry: Im off Friday but its is gonna be busy.
Dually is at the alignment shop so Im driving the 8 till wed. Need to install PS chromoly shaft,re-mount Hi-lift,repair and reseat spare,go through the fluids,install brake box on the Dually.

Hmmm Ive installed 3 Howell kits before . . . wonder if the good people at the Knights Inn would frown upon me installing the FI in the parking lot? LOL

Later
Sean
 
Been doing a little winch restore to mount on the Charity 8.

I'll do a full writeup sometime after nationals on how I restored it.

For now, and for Eric, PICS:

Before:

After:

Mount I fabricated for it:

Mount just got painted and is drying in the garage.
It'll all get bolted up tomorrow, battery cables hooked up, hopefully it'll then spool some new cable in after that. Crossing fingers tomorrow.
 
Jake,

We need to talk at the Nat'ls about the winch deal. I have one that looks about like yours did and need to get it back in shape.


:thumbsup:
 
Loaded up and headed out. Will be in Ashevill by 5pm to pick up a set of doors and then looking for some place to spend the night. Should arrive NLT 2pm Wednesday. See y'all there.
 
Arrrrrrrrgh!

Guys i'm trying to make it with the mule..............but had a bearing over heat on the trailer, and brakes pads are busted on the shoes........Orileys and advance auto.......looked at me with gazed over eyes when i said i need wheel bearings and brake shoes for a 6000 lb dexter axle......then they want to know what year of vechical it is..............want to reach over the counter and........... choke them:banghead: I have one more place to check in the morning and if they don't have them then it's either try and get off work and drive about 4 hours to alabama to get the parts if i can't find them in chattanooga...........or see if i can get them overnited to me and work all night thursday if i get them to get the trailer back together and the jeep finished up and loaded........if not then the trailer and jeep are grounded and i will at least drive up and visit for abit........:banghead:
 
Not going to make it...

I had everything ready, but me. I should be fine soon, but can't do the drive there right now. 3 days on the trail would be worse. :banghead:
 
Are you OK.

I am running late and expect to leave in the AM tomorrow. Do you need a ride there?

Thanks Carl...I expect I'll be fine soon. I'm going to head to the beach and just take it easy for a few days.
 
Sorry to hear that John. Looked forward to seeing and wheeling with you as always. I hope you get the rest you need.

In the Morning!

Frank'n-8 won't be joining us this year. New trans works great. Rebuilt 208 working good and smooth. Lockers engaging as they should. Took it for a test drive on the road Tuesday and almost didn't have enough power to limp it home. Didn't notice the smoke from the front left wheel until I got out. Found a caliper locked up. No big deal, ordered a new one. Picked it up after dropping Captain Jacks Scrambler off at the muffler shop. While picking it up, it must have "Felt" a new caliper close by as the brake pedal went straight to the floor.

Long story short, fixed the rotor on my Scrambler, while bleeding the brakes, noticed a huge pool of oil on the shop floor. Found a broken oil line. fixed it. Went to back it out of the shop and it would not turn, :banghead: Replaced pump.. didn't work, :banghead: replaced steering box, still lock up in both directions. Figured out the problem. It is allergic to the SOA Nationals. :angry: It took 10 minutes to get it out of the driveway and into the yard. Mentioned "DISASSEMBLY" several times. :evil: Related to "Christine" perhaps.
Blue Scrambler is now loaded all by itself. See everyone tomorrow afternoon. ;)

:wave:
 
ACK! Sorry to hear about all the troubles. :banghead: John, hope you feel better and the rest does the trick, hate that I won't get to see you.

JC. I'm here in Cookeville now and have meetings with a client tomorrow morning/lunch. Is there any chance that I could pick up parts around here and get them to you tomorrow afternoon/evening? I can even help with the trailer/Jeep fixes if needed. I hate that you'd have to take off time from work or have to thrash all night to try to make it. Emailing/PMing you.

I made it to Cookeville after a very draining drive. Lots of highway for the first half or so and then all small windy back roads. Tiring as hell after a full day at work and all the other driving. I think the GPS might need some work on it's route planning. It did provide an amazing sunset over horse farms, some beautiful country with a moonlit foggy dusk and a cool damn all lit up at night.

Starting an official photo thread for the National with some pics. :)

FINALLY!!! Done with work crap, headed to Golden Mountain now!!!

WOOOHOOOOOOOOO! :smokin:
 
Can't leave till about 2:00 on Friday. It is only 100 miles, but not interstate miles and the MH will average about 45 knowing the hills I gots to get over....

See y'all at the park around 5:00 CDT.

Don't break too much tomorrow or Friday.....
 
At the park in a tent with insanely slow internet on the laptop through my cellphone. Got here later than I'd hoped, so no trail riding for me today, some folks did get out early this afternoon and there's a good number of us here already. Lots of RVs setup, two tents, a handful in the bunkrooms and folks in town at hotels.

Good times catching up and going to eat dinner. Posting pictures might be next to impossible with this connection...

Can't wait for tomorrow, wiped out from all the travels, heat and beers right now though :)
 
New to the forum, just found out I can head up to Golden Moutain Fri. afternoon. I think its about 4hrs. from Birmingham. Didn't know if there is anything I need to do other than show up Sat. morning at reg. (0730 I think). Plan on joining S.O.A. today. Loadin the scrambler on the trailer this afternoon.:cheers:
