Deuce was dead on side of the road.

I will compliment JW4x4s offer of M18 tools by bringing my own collection to include another 1/2 impact, a 3/8 or 1/4 impact and a gaggle of batteries and chargers. Will have saws and grinders as well.

 

[andy3]

Saws & grinders? Yikes! Does Jimma have smelling salts if I black out from too much sawing/grinding on my truck?

 

[RAYZER]

A cutting torch and welding machine may be needed also!

 

[JasonS]

Amputation?

Thermite and tannerite if the truck is a gonner, we can vaporize it!!!!!!!

 

[swbradley1]

I have the latter and the former is easy to make.

When in doubt, AIP.

Amputation?

I resemble that remark! My prosthesis after I broke it.

I have new secondary Fuel Filters and a Westfolk primary fuel filter to mount while we’re at it. Keep telling me what else to have on hand/bring. I would rather have it on-site than try to locate parts un Union Point. Fluids, cleaners, bolts that are going to be frozen and eaten up in age. I’ll have a couple of cans of PBBlaster, etching primer and Rapco paint. If I missed a post and a pledge I apologize. I am sure I am missing some things that we might need. so chime in. Whatever is not picked up on the list I will have with me. Thank you all!

Chains-Ron and I have

 

[Ferroequinologist]

I will bring a box of gloves too.

 

[EMD567]

Fastnal truck on site for all the bolts, nuts, washers, you will need..........

 

[USAFSS-ColdWarrior]

I have an engine in the can here in San Angelo, TX. The shipping would probably outweigh the engine though.

 

[swbradley1]

Yeah but they changed their policy. Lose a bolt/nut and you have to buy a box of 25.

 

[RAYZER]

Somewhere in all of the thousands of parts for sale there are spare fasteners!

 

[phil2968]

Not to mention all the donor trucks held to gather with bolts! They would not miss one or two!

Having not been at the rally for more than 6 hours last year, what time do you think we should kick off the motor swap on Friday? Noon? I had signed up to volunteer and want to cover my responsibilities. If I do an early shift Friday AM I would have a clear conscience. Late Friday night the wife and at least 3 other acorns arrive and all bets are off then.

 

[Recovry4x4]

I will have a few wire wheels along with my drills and drivers.

 

[RAYZER]

Zip ties and some metal tape to hold lines out of the way and cover open line ends.

 

[ODFever]

You will need one or two cases of beer to pay for services rendered!!!
