The season is here and I was wondering who was up and running and who wasn't? After last weekend I have a few little things to take care of like new battery's, some type of storage for the regular junk, and finish mounting my front bumper good enough that I can get a pull with the winch. Where are you at with your rig? ready or not?  |

Toyota runs great and the VW runs great, The tranny in my dodge finally took a crap so i have no way of towing anything. But i do have a good lead on a NV5600 trans for it.

The Blazer is ready. There is always something little to do to it, but for the most part she is ready.   |

The Waggy runs great buuuuut, Still working on the lift. I hopefully will be done in a week or so. After that, as long as the bank account holds up, I'll be in the dirt as much as possible  |

Been working on the Toy getting it ready for this season changed out my 3rds with v6s with 4.56s and lockers,made a home brew traction bar for the rear, changed out the front brakes and repacked the front wheel bearings. I need to take it out for a small shake down run soon just to see if everthing works as planned  |

I thought everything was good on the Blazer until Wed. night. I was leaving the House of Blues after a show and wen to start the rig. It was 1 am and I was looking forward to my bed. Turned the key and the thing would turn over but not fire. Being a Diesel I knew it was the glow plugs acting up, so to make up for it I continued to crank it over. This ended up heating up my batteries pretty good, causing one of the terminal clamps to melt a little. This shut down the whole truck. Stranded in downtown at 1:00 in the morning is not cool. Called a tow truck and got it home. I took the day off work yesterday to get it running. Replaced 3 bad glow plugs and a couple of battery clamps. Now she is running again and ready to go.  |
