nuff said. its about the pics. there seems to have been miscommunication about his intentions. hopefully they have now been made clear and we can just move on. I hope he'll come out again sometime to take more.

[Dick2]

thank you sir!! i will as long as i dont get left because i drive a mini lol

[jeepsterrob72]

i hate to admit this but at one time a had a lowered mini. had big woofers behind the seat and everything. man how things change!

[Chief Gunner]

O.K. chief now you have forced my hand.  I can't have you out flexing me!!!  I am now planning out my 3 link and coilovers.  LOL Lust kidding!  We still need to get your rear shocks figured out man.  Your truck would work so much better if it wasn't sitting on the shocks.


Dave

Wow,
We went off topic real fast.....  Let me try to steer this back on the fun of off roading.  I need to change the rear shocks out for sure, just not sure when I can do it.  I am gonna try on the 15th when we have a little $$$$.  On another point, I think I am gonna have to trim the fenders a little bit.  I tried running up pancake on 15 PSI, and I was getting fender rub every time I flexed.  Once I got up to pancake rock, I bumped them up to 20 PSI and all was good...... well execpt for a certain someone who didn't want to leave pancake rock and broke his " J-arm" in protest.

come by on saturday cheif im gonna be wrenching all day we might as well play with yours too

[Metal Twister]

Sorry guys... Dick2 is now a guest. I sent him a P.M. asking him to take  notice of the rules and to please do an intro. Instead he re posted the pics on the sig line only to clutter the forum with a pic of a vehicle that has nothing to do with wheeling. The rules also speak of requiring the avatar to have something to do with wheeling... I realize that the Chief dosnt conform to that rule but out of respect to Chiefs service to country the Mods let it slide. I do understand the urge to show off your work on the forum but to throw a non related pic up on every post is just the opposite of what we are trying to accomplish here. While I am sure Mr. DICK2 is a wonderful guy and is loved by all, he is not exempt from the forum rules or respect of those rules.  If Mr. DICK2 would like to join us with his 4x4 interests and play by the SCUFF rules Im sure he would be welcomed back.  Sorry for the distraction and for letting this thing get sooooo far topic.

HEY! you think your funny. well your not. so 

that picture of you flexing out your truck looks great. you should use that as your avatar instead of the goofy pic of your ugly mug in whites.

If you notice, I took my ugly mug off my avitar and I ws gonna put a pic from the last pancake run, but I think it is too big and I haven't figured it out just yet, so now I am avatarless.  But yea, I like the pic.

That was cool. You could use a little more starting fluid and blast your rig around an obstacle.

[SNOTROCKET]

i was using brake cleaner. alot of brake cleaner. 

[hurleyup]

i was using brake cleaner. alot of brake cleaner. 

I was wondering about that. I have never seen starting fluid flame like that, it just usually just scares the  out me.

[hammeredtoys]

Nice! looks like a great time

[Mikegyver1]

Be careful on what you use... read this guys story... sorry don't mean to get off topic, but safety first..

[SNOTROCKET]

thats nuts. i never knew that about break cleaner. man i use that  on everything. i will even use it to clean my hands. although i really hope to not mix heat and argon in my hands. if i plan on using that stuff to clean parts before i weld i will definately make sure to clean it throughly before i weld on it. i cant believe a little puff of smoke like that could be so bad.

i am definately not one to preach safety. i hardly wear gloves and then wonder why i have cuts and burns all over my hands from working on the truck. i have slipped with the grinder i dont know how many times and gouged my hand all up. i would never wear safety goggles for reasons i really dont know. i cant hear anythign any more because the 5 years i worked as a marksmanship instructor in yuma i never wore ear plugs. if you watch the video you'll see me light the tire on fire and then stick my face down close to it to blow it out. not smart.

i do wear gloves and safety glasses now though.

we should have a place to talk about safety issuse in the shop and on the trail. if we dont i think i might not make it.

Hey Mike how the crap did you break you j arm anyways?


Dave.

[SNOTROCKET]

tires wanted to go one way and i wanted them to go the other way and it just so happen that the j arm didnt want to go either way. so poof.

Hey all, I just spoke to Dick2 and got a PM from MT a little bit ago, everything is worked out and D2 will repost his pics and link to photobucket for all who didnt get to see them.

Taylor

[Dick2]

As 2wdrckcrwlr said metal twister and I worked out or creative differences and i will be re-posting the pics and link for all to see!!! sorry you guys were subjected to our little tiff!! gimme and hour or two....

Can one of the mods please remove my old post with the bad links??

[Chief Gunner]

No worries, I am glad that everything got worked out.  The pics turned out great.  I think a few more trips off road, and you will be building a mini on like four sets of bags placed on each other, so you can slam it to the ground on the road and when you get to the trail, you fill all the bags up and go off roading.  Just think of the possibilities.
