Fix the wedge

[mr.mindless]

Might be motivated to scab some shit on this and swap some tires tonight for a weekend trip. waiting on a phone call back from Aaron.

Otherwise, with the aux tank done, the Eagle stuff is next followed by this.

you should get another coupler so i can swap my plate on it too after you fix it   

[M4wdFab]

this thing is a sweet RTI ramp, except there is a saturn in the way now

[mr.mindless]

I should pull the trigger on that. Swapping couplers is annoying.

Saturn, huh?

Don't break the back off while it's still broken

And definitely will be over tonight to scab some fixes on, cut some fenders off, and swap some big boy tires on.

I need to Craigslist for a cheap set of 4 8 lug truck wheels and tires so I can scrap the wheels that are on it and have spares again.

Stupid last minute shit!

[M4wdFab]

i may or may not have 4 a couple steel 16" truck wheels not sure what got scrapped last time.

I scabbed this back together as it was when purchased in the interest of time and materials. It's semi-OK with all the welds actually welded instead of cracked, but damn it's all hack and birdshit back there.

The bike loading went smooth. Back of the trailer is hugely taller than I'm used to, that's no good. Makes me continue to think about hinged goodness, especially if i decide to keep instead of sell.

Thanks Paul for the help!!

no problem
that bike makes me like mine even more :-)

Merc E300 TD says ramps are too short, and need expanded steel for traction.

That car is real fast for a diesel

I don't believe you. Converter is loose as shit at parking lot speed. Powered by wet noodle?

This wood-sprung rustbucket is probably not an example to test or judge by.

I drove it up and down the street and was blown away at how hard it pulls when the turbo spooled

wedge looks fine...



would be better with tomato and blue cheese

Astoria, Queens was pretty nice, streets just wide enough to get in; threw on the 4 ways and double parked on a wide avenue right on front of where the jeep was parked - no issues. Came in via the Triborough bridge and left via the Midtown Tunnel. There may have been a Better way to do that, but it worked.

Was in the wrong lane coming out and ended up taking 37th St all the way across Manhattan to the Lincoln Tunnel to cross into NJ.

Just fueled at the tpke plaza in Woodbridge NJ at $3.699.

Pics are
- where I unloaded the bike (shoulder of a busy road, no parking zone w 4 ways)
- picking up the CJ at SVE
- where I loaded in Astoria (double parked w 4 ways)
- actually able to see the XJ here in Woodbridge

drove the dumpbuss through NYC... WOW
that actually was the best way to go.. bruckner expressway is a parking lot on a good day...

[mr.mindless]

It was a great day then, did 45+ onto the island. Return traffic looked slow though.

Your CJ generated some pointing and staring in midtown.
