Moab Black Sheep Week -March 31-April 5, 2013

[HIROLA]

So, does Neo's outpost provide a hot shower and something more than an outhouse? That is the main decision in whether or not I book a hotel room or join tent city. P.S. I'm at 95% chance of driving across the country to join y'all!

 

[3Hummers]

Whoever stays at Neo's has access to and use of a bathroom. It is recommended that a small donation for water, TP, etc be made to the hosts. Bring your own towel. Yard space for your tent is free and first come first serve. No shortage of room but the better spots go first.

 

[3Hummers]

Hirola, hope you can make it out this trip.

 

[3Hummers]

Made my reservations

 

[LagunaH1]

I can't wait to go... Next, the truck needs to have a few things done so it's ready. Time for a trip to the Hummer Day Spa A.K.A. Tustin Hummer

 

[3Hummers]

92 is in Texas so I need to get there early enough to do a pre-run check and any required servicing. Either that or drive the 94 out from CA and have Matt haul my spares out. If we are running Pritchett I really need the 92 though as I think we will need the winch.

 

[06 H3]

I am getting squeaky ready. Not 100% on if I can make it yet but I am trying.

With 100k on the clock, I did the coolant, throttle body service, fuel injection service, diff fluids front and rear, trans fluid, brake fluid, installed the rest of my crown performance SS brake lines, longer diff breather for the rear, and with a leaking t case I will be opening up my broken 4:1 to just fix that and have it for moab. Either way I should be good to go and be up on all maintenance. I am rebuilding my front driveshaft for safe measures and may replace the u joints in the rear for safe measures.

If funds allow I will buy a winch and get my brushguard installed too.

With 100k on the clock I just hope to not have the same issue like alrock did in october...Needing a new or rebuilt trans.

 

[3Hummers]

You need to get your brushguard before you can install it.

 

[06 H3]

Are u around tomorrow?

 

[LagunaH1]

The pre-Moab list on my truck is:

New body mounts in the front.

Servicing / oil change

Possibly a new A Arm bushing in the right rear lower A arm

Replace right rear lower ball joint

Re-paint the roof

Fix a leak in the front CTIS


Depending on when my tax refund hits, I might also finally get the upgraded AC installed.

Also, I'd like to find an aftermarket transmission temp sensor and gauge and get that installed.

 

[abearden]

I don't want to even post my list. :sigh: Rebuild kit and manual for the transmission get here this week. Here's to hoping everything goes well when everything goes back together.:whaa::giggle:

 

[LagunaH1]

when are you planning on rebuilding the trans?

 

[3Hummers]

As far as I know I should be good. I will probably hit all the grease fittings, check all the fluid levels and change the oil/filter. I checked all the ball joints, tie rods, steering components, half shafts, etc before I put it up just a few weeks ago.

 

[abearden]

Probably first weekend in February. Going to make room, disassemble the old engine (so I don't have an 800 lb lump to move around), and maybe pull the trans out this weekend. Last weekend in January is busy, then I can get down to it. Hoping it warms up by then too because it is COLD* in the warehouse.


*Note: To everyone else, I mean cold by California standards which means it's generally between 40 and 55 and I don't have a heater for it.

92 is in Texas so I need to get there early enough to do a pre-run check and any required servicing. Either that or drive the 94 out from CA and have Matt haul my spares out. If we are running Pritchett I really need the 92 though as I think we will need the winch.

Jay wants to come in April and he does drive a Semi for me at work. He could drive your truck and trailer out with the 92 on it and run with me on the way out to Moab. Heck you could ride out with someone from SoCal.

 

[alrock]

Laguna, I think Tustin is better known as The Home Away from Home

 

[LagunaH1]

Yup, the truck drives itself to and from

 

[3Hummers]

Matt, that might work. I think I should be in Texas before Moab but if not that would work. Might also just have him drive it back.

 

[alrock]

My pre-Moab list is . . . complete. Transmission got fixed during and after the last trip. Diff mounts are done. Halfshafts are replaced.

Okay, there are some optional things but I don't know that I can swing them soon, including Scorpworks steering rack mount and upper control arms.

 

[3Hummers]

Chris I am in town tomorrow. I could meet you sometime so you could pick up your stuff.

 

[06 H3]

Any specific time? I have a doctors appt at 1 45 so I can go before or after

 

[Green 1]

Matt, that might work. I think I should be in Texas before Moab but if not that would work. Might also just have him drive it back.

We have time but I am sure he will help any way he can.

 

[3Hummers]

Have him do the C-service for me before I get back.

 

[3Hummers]

Chris I am wide open. It takes me 20-30 minutes to get to the storage facility from Newport so I just need a little notice. Storage place is in Irvine.

 

[06 H3]

ok I will leave after my dctr appt at 1:45. It will probably take me an hour and a half? So lets say 3 30-4 30? PM me your # and I will call you when I get closer. I am going to tustin hummer?
