Arkansas boys(and friends)July 7th

[rmfreeze]

For some reason I had a real hankering for Chinese food.

Wouldn't have been a buffet now would it? ;D

One of them was the one Robert backed out of.%) ;D Turned out I got a cracked frame around the steering box for my effort too.

So that was Ultimate Adventure we ended up on after you led us off down that ATV trail? %) ;D Come to think of it, we were on that same ATV trail earlier when your ignition box started taking a dump. You'd think we would have noticed the narrow paths between the trees sooner. Oh well, I had started up those boulders but all the talk of body damage and winching made me gladly turn around.

This means it's time for all of us other Arkansas guys to ante up. Hope you guys are ready, because I am.

What's that statement about least invested, least to lose?

 

[kbldawg]

Sounds like you guys had a great time. I thought about you all during the day while I was working my tail off. We didin't got done until 9PM, then had to drive home from Stuttgart.

It was worth it though cause now I have some extra $ to throw at my Bronco to hopefully get ready for the next run.

Wished everyone could have been there. We had a great time wheeling and sharing buffet stories. It must have been Robert and I who laughed the hardest at Monte last time. Course we didn't keep Allan from a raffle so it was a bit less stressful.

Mike where's those pics you had us posing for?

Lunch this go around was much better than last time. Even if the plate did explode when she dropped it! I've got some nuts and bolts to retorque, though, before I head out again.

 

[sfaforester]

Sounds like a good time......well...except for a busted frame, walking trails looking for nuts and bolts....and an ATV trail? You almost make me glad I didnt show. But I got some much needed work done so it made it worth it for me too. Maybe Ill be the one to back out on a number 4 trail. :-[

 

[astark]

We missed ya Monte and had one heck of a great time. I will post up some pics we took tomorrow

And although I do not have any pics from the Ultimate Adventure and Four Fingers that John concurred, I can testify that he did "represent" well. In fact, it was amazing

Laughing at my expense?


































You ain't the first. :-*

Thanks Guys!

We made it back to Missouri today without problems, and wanted to say thanks again for hooking us up with seats, John, Robert and Alan/Mike. We had a blast of course! Talked with Daniel and he wished he had of been there. Can't wait for OCBR. Better get my registration in. Will try and post the pics we took tomorrow if any turned out. Darrell
Monte, I thought the club president should have been present. HA

Hey mstark

Why haven't you added any pictures with the new lift to your gallery? Would love to se it!

 

[mstark]

Ok Randall, added some pics for everyone to see of the lift. I had posted them a while back. I'll also be posting the few pics we took this weekend tomorrow.

And hey John, do these weights sound correct? I didn't think the NP435 weighed over 100lbs and the adapter should be but 10lbs I would think. I was also pretty sure my LUK clutch was lighter than 16lbs.

Trans + adapter: 168 lbs
Bellhousing: 32 lbs
Flywheel: 28 lbs
Clutch: 16 lbs

This are what the guy told me they weighed he said he's going to get a shipping qoute to me. seems like a 250lb item might be around what I'd pay for everything. I was really hooping to get this.
TIA, Mike

 

[BroncoJAK]

Don't know about the weight, sounds a little high. You can reuse your bellhousing.

 

[bigjhoov]

The 435 should weigh about 140 lbs alone.

 

[bigjhoov]

I'd be willing to bet you can get it shipped via Forward Air for ~$100.

 

[astark]

Okay, here are my pics

 

[astark]

And a couple more

 

[BroncoJAK]

That's the rabbit that killed my Paw!

[BroncoJAK]

Just checking to be sure Roberts radius arm nut didn't fly up into my engine bay.%)

True story:

Sometime very late Saturday night or early Sunday morning, while we were all sleeping, a wild maniac raccoon attacked my Bronco ripping the trim molding off
