PostSubject: Wrench Party   Fri Jan 09, 2009 10:09 am

I don't know about the rest of you but I need to do some wrenching of my rig to get ready for spring wheelin. I don't have a garage, but I have a large yard, driveway, and plenty of tools, welder, air compressor etc. I am willing to host unless someone else has a more suitable location for a day of wrenching.(Hint: indoor, heated location) My cookers are ready to smoke up some great barbecue for all who want to host or just participate with a helping hand. Anyone could bring their rig if it needs mechanical attention. All I need to do for now is change out my front hubs, Repair my on-board air and add some lights,which is not too difficult. I am willing to help with any others who require assistance.
Lets throwout some ideas and get our hands dirty.

I dont have a garage to offer but as usual my truck is full of tools.

I would like to attend. Good chance to meet a few of you guys. I really have nothing to offer no tools, no skills, and no garage, but would still like to attend.

Why don't we throw out a couple of dates and see what works out for the most of us.
Sundays would work for me but maybe we should think about Saturdays too because if we are running late repairing someones junk it can be completed on the next day. Nothing ever goes as planned when your banging on metal.
Weather permitting:
January 24th 25 or Feb 7th -8th ?

Several of the members are going out wheeling on the 24th to celebrate Patty's birthday on the trails, but the 25th would work for me, if not the February 8th would work too.

Some thoughts!
Is there anyone out there that has a garage to work in to hold the wrenching party. I will still provide some award winning bbq for lunch. The temperatures for the next couple of months may not be conducive for working outdoors.

PostSubject: Cold is only in the mind   Wed Jan 14, 2009 5:21 am

I have a little heater I use in my garage, not big enough to work in but makes a nice little shed. I do all my work in the driveway. Warm up in the shed and head back out.

Best part of the cold is when you bust a knuckle, it dont hurt till it warms up.

Like MDCJ7 I am working every time they offer overtime, but let us know when and I will try to be there.

Depending on the dates that are picked and the work load at the shop I would be able to offer my shop if the group is willing to come down to VA. The shop is in the 20164 zip. I have room for 6-10 jeeps large lot for the trailers, 110 welder, 80 gallon air compressor, 2 grinders, bathroom, heat and a bunch of tools. All are welcome but I would ask that no one brings children that are to little or not a custom to garage/workshop enivorment.

It depends on the work load in the next month to come but it could be getting slow. I know that I can not do the weekend of feb 7th.

Last, if it was at my shop it would have to be a saturday I have tried this with friends before and works great till monday morning when I have to use the fork lift to get your rig out of the shop for my guys to work.
