No wheelin this round for me. I will have a tailgate,tirecarrier,roofrails and many other parts in my rig aswell as loaded with my tools. Lets save the wheelin for May 2nd - the 9th when I plan on a campout offroading trip that way. Lets just meet somewhere to grab some grub and chill. I get off work at 10pm and am going to bed without checking my email. So I will check it in the am before I leave if I have time. My number is 509-679-2840 so gimme a ring if anyone wants to meet up. I will also be on channel 18 on the cb. Ben

well i work at 5PM. i don't know issaquah well at all either, just around KK, i know theres mcdonalds, and a burger place right there. i know most people work during the day, or go to school, so it will be hard to meet with other people, i think im the only one who is free (waiting for school to start)

hopefully you will check this before you leave, if not, i guess ill catch you next time your over here. can you get to redmond/woodinville/monroe easy? if you can that would be cool (i dont want to make you do all the driving, so if its too far away say so) pick a restaraunt and ill meet you there. probably around 12-1 (cause i work) but let me know. It'd be cool to meet up with you, just have a very limited time.

Blue came & Blue gone

Well last night was rough trying to get to sleep being im use to not going to sleep til 5am. I had to be up at 5am and didnt get to sleep til 130am. So I was a tired a$$ driver this am. I made it there in 2 hours and was just eager as hell to get the parts and get home. I dealt with fast & stupid drivers, heavy rain, then 2 mechanical things that had me worried. #1 was the smell of Mobil 1 7590 gear oil and an oily substance on the rear window. I just did the pass. side axle seal a week ago and thought it was leaking. Looked but nada. Found I didnt tighten the drain plug quite tight enough. Tightened it and checked the fluid and I was G2G. Then I had what sounded like a vibration in the a$$ end. That worried me but I kept chuggin. It would only do it around 60 mph so I think its my driveshaft. Other than that a long drive. No worries on not meeting up I was just as I said way to damn tired. Ben

Serious would have been if the mid 90s hunter gree Jeep Grand Cherokee had smashed into Blues A$$ end. He was in the passing lane already passing doing 70+ but started driving into my lane. I swerved onto the side of the freeway as he pulled back into his lane speeding off. I did the speed limit for the most part all day. It was crazy though, id be driving 65 and semi's would pass me like I was doing 40. They haul!
