Anyone need to do some group wrenching to get anything done this weekend?

I've got to do my electrical in the tow Jeep, but thats about it. Maybe switch a door out. Pull a spare radiator and water pump. Grab a spare tire. Get longer chains on the tow bar along with some bolts and weld in a gussett. Bleed the brakes again. :blink:

Figured if someone needs a hand with stuff, we could do the many hands makes less work thing...

Yeah, my list is a mile long, and on top of that I have to help Keith get his camper in the truck, modify his trailer etc...

Its going to be a long weekend!!

I have some specific areas to discuss. Since Pat won&#39;t be there next week, tonight would be great discussion&#33;

I have taken a die grinder to notch a couple slots in the knuckle. This also helps get them out when a joint goes and spreads the yoke.

My D44 ujoints have held up so far, tack welded the caps on. I run a Detroit and 36&#39;s, but I&#39;m VERY gentle on the throttle especially when turned&#33;

Jim and Pat: I hope we have a good emap of all the trails already taken&#33; I don&#39;t want to go on the same ones again&#33;

A campfire sounds great right about now, I&#39;ll have to wait until Thursday&#33;

Good luck all on the fixin&#39;
