AB_mekanik's first weekend out

So the first weekend out was ... ummm successful. Got steel yesterday to rebuild front bumper. Needs are tires, solid front axle, and a winch. definitely need a winch.

looks like you need a locker and a wheelin buddy more than a SFA

going out to meet one of the local 4wd club locals today. hopefully with helping with his engine problems, there'll be an SFA in it for me and some more people to go out with.
Thinking about a locker, have to start taking a look at them and find out what my options are.

With a rear locker and a come along or a winch and a good friend you should have no problems.

wow ... ummm, first thing's first

874runnersr5 - Fort mcmurray ... trying to get further north this winter, into the territories.

yeah yeah, locker's're nice. They would've kept me out of a lot of trouble this weekend. Fortunately, I went out with some friends on quads who had winches. i think I accelerated their time table on replacing winch cables to synthetic leads.

So the list of things to do are very simple: replace LR lamp assembly and RF park light assembly, rebuild bumper (have steel, will weld) and then research lockers. I'm used to repairing to stock. Modifying is a whole new territory for me.

and BBP - the SFA is free, can't hardly turn that down, can I?
