Thanks Terry, I'm still in disbelief, i've never won anything like this before! I'm pretty excited! The link that rworegon posted worked for me, just in case here it is again, post# 24: https://www.yotatech.com/forums/f121...49/index2.html

 

congrats ed, noone deserves it more! get those new shoes on and come to colorado this summer!

 

Thanks buddy, I'm pretty excited to get the new KO2's. I've been trying to get ahold of a guy on CL for some black simulated beadlock wheels for $200 to mount them on, hopefully I'll get them.

I'm trying to get fired up and finish my trailer project up by this May, then I can load up the family and do some camping, I'd love to go to Colorado and do some camping/wheeling, that would be my dream vacation!!!

 

merry christmas! did you get snow up there in the north?

 

Thanks man, hope you enjoyed the holidays too! We have a lititle snow,maybe 4 or 5", nothing compared to last year at this time. How about you,got any snow yet?



I got me some wheel spacers for my offroad trailer project. Picked up a set of (four) brand new 2" spacers for $100... I only need 2 of them, so if anyone is doing a SAS AND needs some,I'll sell the other 2 for $50!

 

nice find on the spacers, i need to catch up on your trailer build

 

Thanks. I haven't got much progress on the trailer, just collecting parts at the moment. I need to order some tabs next, so I can mount my last link for the 3link.


For my 4runner I got the new billet aluminum radiator cap and universal radiator mounting brackets the other day. Getting one step closer to installing my new radiator!

 

Wicked build! After I finish swaping in this 270hp crate engine into my 83 k20 I just might need to find me a 302 for my 4runner! I always wanted to swap in a sbc, but the distributor is in the back and I hear its a pain.

 

Thanks man! I'm pretty happy with it. Yeah if you're going to do a carb'd V8 swap it's hard to beat the simplicity of a sbf.

 

Somehow I kept missing post 24. My eyesight is getting bad. It is getting the parts that take the time and usually they go on fairly quick. Having the distributor up front makes things a lot easier. I always had better luck on the Fords over the Chevys. Some reason a Ford just seem to go better for me. I miss working on them. Same thing on the Dodges, they were easy to work on.

 

Do i hear a small block ford conversion in your future???!!!

 

got snow?

 

I like the radiator cap. I still need to pick up one for mine. Im curious to see how your going to mount the radiator once you start moving it forward.

 

Thanks, the cap was only $20, not bad for billet aluminum. The radiator mounting bracket I will probably modify, I won't use as its configured there. The only thing really holding me up is I was trying to decide between running hoodpins or finding/fabing up some sort of custom hood latch.

 

awesome progress buddy. Also Congrats on winning those KM2 all terrains. Totally jealous! haha nah but i all seriousness congratulations.

 

Ed! I am so stoked that you won brother! I didn't even notice the contest until today (oh well you deserved it more than me!) as I'm oblivious lol. I sure hope that your dream trip comes true man. By the way if you ever need a wingman for big bear or any of those other spots:

 

Thanks Richard! I'm still in disbelief, lol.

Thanks bro! I definitely would like to hit up Naches trails with your group sometime. I've been trying to catch up on your trips posted on the Regional forum (I just recently discovered the regional section, lol) you got alot of awesome pics on there, looks like you get a pretty good size group together! Going to hit up Snoqualmie soon?

Ps.That video cracked me up, lol!

 

I'm glad I got you to laugh. Yeah the club has grown exponentially to the point that I am baffled how quickly it has taken off. Our last run we had 9 rigs and nearly 20 people in the convoy. The even better news is that they are all great people.

We have a snow run scheduled on the 17th of this month. The original plan was to go up FS 70 outside of Greenwater however a scouting report from a member has made me change the location. New plan is to indeed go up to Snoqualmie pass and do the run up there instead. Can you make it?

 

That's awesome how fast the club has grown. Unfortunately I won't be able to make it this time. A trip that far (aprox 300 miles for me) would take some serious planning for both financial and job scheduling reasons (I'm out of vacation days until June). If i still lived in Yakima, I would be all over that trip! But don't completely count me out, I might surprise you on one of these trips, lol!

 

I keep hoping you will surprise me. Well Naches is happening at the very least. With plenty of forewarning and it will be after June so that you will have some vacation time to use. I'm actually plotting down the summer's major trips on a calendar today. Including a trip to Moab. See LOR's build thread for more info on that.
