2019 Haspin

[gimpyrobb]

Each truck is different, hard to say one way or another for sure.


I usually have bearings and wheel cyls with me. Ive even been known to bring a transmission once or twice just in case...
I have spare dogdones so I am not too worried about it.

...Also, whats the new brake line that everyone raves about? Thinking about trying it over the standard steel lines.

Likely copper nickel? My buddy just turned me on to it a couple years ago. Magical stuff, flare’s super easy and almost impossible to kink, even bending by hand, and he also claims it to be nearly corrosion proof. I still have quite the length of it as well as an assortment of fittings if you want to wait and mess with it at Haspin, I can bring it along.
I’m planing on getting there Wednesday PM...

I didn't know this was only and hour and a half away from me. I am going to try to make it.

I'm going to try to make it.

Just noticed that my last post here was in 2016, and I think my most recent rally was GA somewhere around 2011? Yikes!

Wow, long time no see! Be good to have you back

 

[Sevin7]

Who is leaving when? I may head out tuesday, just wondering how long till everyone else shows up. As I fix stuff, that might set back my departure times though.

I’m planning on showing up Wednesday around lunch but I think I could be persuaded to arrive Tuesday if you are interested in getting an early start. Let me know if you are going to make it Tuesday.

 

[gimpyrobb]

Will do, gonna get as much as I can packed up Monday after I wake up.

Bump

Its this week boys! Get your azzes out to meet the other members!

I'm going to have to pass on this one. Been working too much. Not enough time to get the truck done. Wanted to have the radials on it and the pyrometer installed but that didn't happen. That and the 76 has commercial plates on it and its DOT blitz week. Don't know what they would say about blowing by a weigh station. If I were in a convoy of military vehicles I wouldn't worry too much.

My wife and I are in (but alas, the HMMWV is not). We'll be coming up Friday evening and heading out on Saturday around noon.

Transmission is still up on the stand with too many major assemblies in bad shape. It's definitely far beyond just replacing seals and clutch friction plates like initially planned. Fortunately the case housing is in great shape and it's still going to be a good candidate for rebuild, but I'm just stuck needing to replace too many of the clutches and drums to have gotten it done on-time (cash for the parts).

Yes please, I'd like to try that stuff out!

Due to that oh so enjoyable trip to Chicago for a wedding I'm only going to be able to drop down from Connersville on Thursday afternoon for a little while.

What time are you heading out?

 

[Jbulach]

While loading all my junk the last several days, I’ve determined I/we need a fully stocked SEORTM trailer to drag to Haspin every year! It’s starting to look like the Clampits meet the Sanfords in my garage.

 

[gimpyrobb]

Been thinking about a purpose built trailer for camping and storing camping gear.

Ive got an extra m101 but thats invisible behind the deuce...hmmmm

 

[MWMULES]

I lucked out years ago and got a M101A2 with a shell on it. It is always loaded with a pot belly stove, 2 16X16 tents, cots, sleeping pads and camping nick nacks. Stays at a friends and is used once a year for upland came hunting camp.

[Jbulach]

Were here! Where are you?

 

[Jbulach]

Well hopefully someone gets some better pictures than we did.The only picture James took.

I didn’t do much better.I have an awesome “invisible” video of Gimpy flexing his truck while twisting through this long washout... didn’t press the record button hard enough!

 

[gimpyrobb]

While I enjoy having a small group of guys to hang out with and be more personal, it would be great to get some new faces and meet other members!

The park is keeping the shower house in way better shape than years past which was a bonus and they limit trail riding after 10 so its not quite the free for all that its been in the past.

 

[Gramps]

Was really trying to make it but it didn't work out. Hopefully next year.

Am I missing the multimedia thread or are you guys slacking on the pic's and video's?
