[cotyhamlett]

Sounds good. I'm greasin up my axles.
They were nasty. I bought these used and slapped it on. Without greasing them. I'm sure glad I did now.

I also got new rims.

[Frankenwheely]

Might want to get some new shafts. A wee bit rusty.

[cotyhamlett]

I cleaned them up with some rust stuff. Idk know the name right now.

Edit: Liquid Wrench Penetrating Oil.

[trofferb]

You should probably use marine grease in there too. I have a whole tube that I will never use all of, you can take a huge glob if you want.

Nice lockouts.

I finally got my BEC installed!!! I had to use EC5 connectors though for it to work. It was a whole ordeal, and I stabbed the crap my finger in the process...it might have needed a stitch or two, but at least it's done. I just need to wire the servo up to it and I'll be done. Kind of hard when your finger is throbbing.

[cotyhamlett]

Oh I did put some in there. When I put it back together some ooozed out. Cleaned it off and they feel good.

[trofferb]

Was there grease in there before?

[cotyhamlett]

Dirty grease. As you can see in the pic.

[cotyhamlett]

I also have a front stinger winch bumper coming in. ..



And two sets of tires. . .



I don't have a pic of the others.

[Eoffroader]

I think San Diego scalers are doing a flinn run tomorrow at 10 am

[cotyhamlett]

My front end is torn apart. Almost ready to go back together. Dang.

[4X42HEL]

Hey guys, any chance someone can post me a Google maps or coordinates to the crawl area in La Jolla Coast I keep hearing about?

I've yet to go out once since I've moved here and I just finalized another TF2... my trucks need rocks bad.


I want to get out this weekend, not sure when. Also, I don't have a FB account.

Thanks!

[Eoffroader]

You guys should hit up sunset cliffs.

[trofferb]

Yeah sunset cliffs would be awesome too. A couple really cool near vertical, gutted out hill climbs that I can think of off hand. My truck is afraid of sand though .

Dang, I really need to get on facebook, just to keep in the loop.

Hey man, I think I figured out where it is by just google mapping it. Somewheres between El Cajon and Alpine?

What time tomorrow? With the SB and all, i may be able to go. I would like to.

Also, Sunset cliffs looks cool too. I really need to get out. Haven't crawled in over three years....

Let me know the time tomorrow and we can go from there. Thanks!

It's not sand. Well it is. But it's hard pack sand.
