SoCal Event - Last Chance Canyon - April 18th, 2015

[Zach]

We are at Domingo's. Ahhh! Margarita ordered. Was a fun day. Craig lost a halfshaft. Serge did the v notch with trailer. Also got to watch Serge conquer pucker hill with the trailer while strapping his brother in the dodge ram

It was taken in Pendleton.


Sounds like a great day, I could go for a margarita and a Long Island right now

Fun day! Good seeing the H40 bunch again! Rascole nice to meet you!

Finally back home. Not only did I lose a halfshaft but I also lost my brake lights. Had a close call on the freeway when I had to hit the brakes during road construction. An Audi almost ate the rear end. Got it home without further incident.

Thank you everyone for a great day!

I agree, but my summer/fall is packed until end of Nov. My son starts HS football so can't miss those games.

 

[cbetts]

Not sure myself. I have a lot of irons in the fire right now. I will not be able to get anything going until at least July. Maybe Zach or Chris can put together something.

I also would like to do preruns since it has been a LONG time since I have done anything besides LCC. I am sure the trails have changed a bit.

I recently ran gold mtn (within the past few months) and gorman is good for the newbies. I will talk with Zach.

I just started wheeling again (v8 testing) went to rowher and sliced my lower radiator hose on a pulley it did great up until that point. I learned the hard way that you either need to ziptie the hose to the radiator shroud mounting point or get a fan shroud. My fan shroud and rad hose should be here today according to Zach. After I get the rad hose and shroud on I will go out again for a shakedown and then can go wheeling. Its been too long.

What did the v8 conversion cost you and how did you deal with CA smog???

Zach and I have a little experience with this on Luke's truck in Bishop. We had to patch it up with a tire repair kit and duct tape to get him off the mountain. Good times!

I remember reading about that. I plan to carry a spare from now on.

Haven't come across smog yet hummer linex but I need to set up my DMV appt.

For price it depends on a lot. Who does it what price you get on a motor what u can sell to offset costs I would say it can be done as little as 3k up to 10k. If u rebuild the trans that adds up. Just depends

Haha! Memories! I also sold Chris the two retainers that caused it

 

[06 H3]

The two retainers caused the break?

 

[cbetts]

The two retainers caused the break?

No, the retainers were not installed properly, thus allowing the hose to hit the pully. We pushed the retainer into the proper mounting hole and then it did the job holding hose in place.

Gotcha that's how mine broke hit the pulley. I'll make sure those suckers are in there.

So, Big bear looks fun!!!
