    Think I'm gonna take the family out to Reiter today...

    My sis and brother in law haven't been wheeling with me yet, so I figured we would take a quick trip up to Reiter today... Take turns driving them over the rocks n stuff... Anyone else going today?

    Feeler thread... Anyone looking for a samurai platform?

    Might be looking to sell the second samurai I picked up to swap out the axles into mine... I don't think I will need to try and keep/maintain 2 wheeler rigs at this time... So, just testing the waters to see if anyone is interested to buy a sammi. Some of the pros: Locked front and rear...

    Ok... What's the trick?

    Fighting trying to get the high steer arms into the upper trunion bearings on the knuckle install... I've got the lowers... But I just can't seem to get the steering arms to cooperate and drive in straight/properly... What's the trail fix? Do you guys remove the steering rods off the arms to...

    Ring and pinion setup help...?

    Picked up some gears and a spartan... Don't have enough knowledge/or confidence in my abilities to set these up 'right'... Anyone available to help out? I got the Yukon 5.29's and master install kits... Front and rear... Spartan locker for the front, and new front inner axle seals and wiper...

    Where to play today?

    Was wanting to go to Reiter just cause it's close, but I don't think they open on Fridays until May sometime... Is there anyone going wheeling today/tonight anywhere nearby? What're the options... Walker or Evans? Are there others I'm not thinking about?

    Hours of operation...

    Just curious... Is Reiter typically a weekend only gig? Or are the gates open daily?

    March 29th... Who's going where?!?

    Wanna test out the fresh fixes n parts since I kinda got skunked by a clutch cable going out today... Put in a new clutch cable, fixed a faulty winch remote, put in a passenger side window, replaced a sloppy trans shifter, and proceeded to break a passenger door handle trying to spray/clean...

    Toyota power steering jumped a tooth?

    After the last outting I have a suspicion that I may have jumped a tooth on the power steering gearbox... It's leaking oil around the seals and I plan to replace it soon... For now... Is there anything I can do to diagnose/help it through the trails today? I definitely hit some big rocks...

    1981 corvette gets a shiny new motor!

    My 383 Stroker motor I had in my vette pulled out a rocker arm stud and ate the cam and lifter... Rather than rebuilding, it was easier to just buy a dressed long block... And upgrade to MORE POWER! So, dropped in a 510 hp 383 stroker, full aluminum brackets and hardware, aluminum heads...

    Warn 8274 motor upgrade

    So... Trying to diagnose my 'click-click' on my winch... Tried a second set of solenoids and that didn't fix it... So pulled the motor off and found a brush had overheated and desoldered the wires going to it... So... Looked for motor options for replacement... Pretty sure mine was the old...

    Wanted to head up to walker Saturday... Elbe isn't in the cards for me this weekend... Anyone else planning on being there? I'll try to be in the main lot around 9:00 ish... Sammi needs some new broken parts! ;-)

    What did you break today?!?!!

    Today, up at walker, after successfully making it down the RRR trail, I turned around and tried to go back up it... First gear didn't work.. So I backed up, threw it in second, and PINNED it!!! Apparently this trailhead hates my sammi!!! Today, my carnage was: the rear anti wrap bar... Which...

    So... If I pick up yota axles...

    Do they make spacer/adapters to go from 6 on 5.5 ----> to 5 on 5.5? Or is it easier to buy another set of yota rims? I bet yota steelies are a dime a dozen out there huh... Just thinking ahead for what I'm gonna need to acquire to do a yota axle swap on my sammi... I'd like to have it all...

    So... If the swap meet is Sunday... Where we wheelin Saturday?

    I've gotta go out and break some stuff so I know what to buy!! Lol Upgrades are much easier to justify when something else is broken... Just sayin... Haven't noticed any mention of a Saturday wheelin place/time yet... Did I miss it?

    Carnage from the busy wild...

    Did a little wrenching today to get the sammi ready for this weekend... ;-) Found a few interesting things... Rear ring and pinion of course... But also a bad rear u-joint, missing bolts on the rear driveline connection, ripped left tcase mount from the frame, and a bent left rear shock! Lol...

    Samurai bomb proof t-case mounts...

    Anybody tried these? I'm pretty sure I've ripped my current rubber/polyeurethane one apart... Was figuring I'd just mount it solid, and was questioning if it would be a bad thing... Then came across these in my research... http://www.trail-gear.com/samurai-t-case-mounts Is it worth the $35? Or...

    Are birfield rings re-usable?

    Looks like the birf I blew up had a ring on it... Are they a one time use? Or is it possible to swap them?
