I'll help as well but my back is out again, and then I will be out of town until mid month.
If something falls through, I will happily help then.

Pressed all 90 studs our of the Hutchinson wheels. So glad I went for an air over hydraulic jack for the press. It was still a task, but it would have been rough to do manually. Not I need to get...
Have fun! I'll be there the weekend of the 17th out by needles.
Jim's got a solid list.
I have a 20Ton shop press and a clamshell bearing puller in Longmont, this is mostly @ Tom since we're basically neighbors.
Feel free to bring anything over if you need it pressed or pulled apart.
Only Hutchinson does this as far as I know, they are who make military beadlocks too. The two halves seal with a giant o-ring.
Yes, both beads are captured with the rubber. They are DOT compliant.
Need to start talking to the local powder coaters. I want to do a dark bronze.
It will be fun bashing these beauties.
Yeah, that's the only one bolted together. I am missing one hardware kit that I will work on sourcing, i know where to buy most of the goods separately worst case.
Well it worked out. Got these from a guy that makes bumpers and whatnot north of salt lake city. He got them as promotional items back when they used to partner closely.
Needless to say, I am...
Oh, beadlocks. I am talking about beadlocks that will have MT's that I can swap on when I am going to go offroad so I am not just wearing them down on the street.
I can't afford 2 cars, much less...
Might have a line on dedicated offroad wheels, hopefully picking them up Saturday. :banana:
Have you checked the throttle body? A buddys golf was acting like this years ago and the tb was the culprit, we cleand it out, esp the idle air control section IIRC and it ran normal again.
Just...
Indeed Tom, I hope you feel better soon.
Hope you are enjoying your holidays Jim.
Merry christmas neighbors.
Sizing tire chains is much less straightforward than I had hoped.
I have better tires this year, I may be in, I'm also a bit better equipped for the winching.

I meant to get down to Fillmore, but I slept in. :lmao:
Yeah, i remember he had sold the jeep, I am guessing the Bronco was a project, he seems to like to build. He was a really nice guy.
This is who I was talking about, Looks like he's not been around since 2017.

It's a shame we didn't have a video going when the rock stood up on end and then flopped over and broke a little.
I appreciate all the photos and the effort splicing that video together.
That...
Oh. ****. I have to be in SLC that thurdsay/friday. Maybe I will just drive and hang out, then head south. I have a solar filter for my camera. MAKES A LOT OF SENSE TO ME. 🤔
Man, sorry to hear that. I too have a severe back issue. Birth defect and herniated disc, found at 20, nearly 40 now. Back then they told me to postpone surgery as long as possible. It is starting...
Here's the correct thread.
My Calendar APPEARS to be clear. Unless my wife makes me aware of something I already forgot I committed to I'll be there.
No preference on trail, I've done them both...

No preference on trail, I've done them both at this point.
May...
Have a good day tomorrow! Stay safe and thanks from those of us that can't make it.
