Talking Colorado H.O.W. (House of Wrenching) Huge March 8th Turnout

The H.O.W tm - House of Wrenching - Started on CoTTORA but we've added Yotatech too. We had several YT members in attendance (Hanksyota, VWfast60, TC, etc... )

In the future I will try and let Colorado YT members know when the next HOW is, and if you live in colorado and want to be notified.. PM me!

I think we had over 26 rigs throughout the day!

Please Note... We Wrenched hard all day, and were responsible. If anyone had a few beers they either had a ride, or they stayed here. That's how we roll at the H.O.W! tm Saftey first!





We know how to make sparks fly!!






We were double parked up and down the street, but the neighbors were great, one next door even offered his driveway!!!


The ladies in the empty tippy engine!


OLD SKOOL!




Eric (aka FJCRUIZER) Wrangling his FJ


I love it How Eric's stuff (aka FJCRUIZER) is neatly laid out.


How many guys does it take to do a timing belt? 6! 5 to stand around and one to actually do it!


And we ended the day with some....


Um Kevin (aka Poorboyota)... It doesn't work that way!

(Note this was at the end of the day when we were all done... drinking and welding don't mix!)

Psst. Out of all those people no one has a SHOP!

Drive to Alabama and we'll show you how it is done (not out in the street).

Did anything actually get done other than double parking and drinking?

Good times.

Got lots done to lots of trucks. Took up an entire block with parking. Also got lots of beer to a good home. Troy also welded a lot of stuff.

Whats wrong with the street there Wabbit?!?!?! We can white trash with the best of em!!!!

You have one understanding neighbor, a number of cool neighbors, and a crazy woman who drives a dodge durango, who gets so mad she almost drives into her garage door. LOL. I almost busted up laughing at that one.

Yeah our Colorado club of YT & Cottora combined has grown leaps and bounds! It is really amazing to see how close we've become. I mean 2 weeks ago my kid sister lost her topper on the side of US-36 because she had to take it off and put it next to a piano she got free. They were strapped in side by side in her 2 month old 08 Taco and with the high winds we get here (up to 100 miles per hour) the topper went flying)

At any rate the next morning I posted up on cottora and that night 8 peeps showed up from many miles away to help unload the piano and one went to look for the topper (It was stolen)

That's why I love YT and CoTTORA!
