1:1 Cliff's Adventure Trip!

[JHTreyIII]

That's because you've been too busy with your new business venture!

[Die-Laughing]

Yea, I have a couple things I want to do before the trip. I'm going finished or not, I don't care if Trey has to tow my vehicle through the trails, I'm going!

i was just talking to sean, i guess he lives down around morris now. i told him we'd give him a holler when were down there.

Yeah, if I get paid from a job I did a couple weeks ago that'll go a long way to making this trip possible.
I just don't like the idea of going with no money in the bank in case something breaks.
I need to take the 4Runner to OH the following weekend to pick up some old furniture.

I bet Sean would LOVE to ride along!

might be trading my 4pk for a bag of arb recovery gear…

Last time I was at the cliffs, which was about 3 weeks ago, all the trails were VERY rutted out. There was a dozer parked in the woods, hopefully it is out there to smooth some of the stuff out. Even trail one was bad.

That's how it was last year (Swezy was with us).
Basically, it looked like everything was rutted down to 48" tires!

I can't make it. :( I have to play pool for a trip to Vegas that weekend.

im hoping for rain. RAIN!

Muddy deep ruts = STUCK!
I didn't take several of the trails because it looked like I'd just bottom out with my tires not touching the ground.

I have started making Kydex holsters, knife sheaths, etc etc. i made an awesome business card wallet for myself.

I am building a holster today for a Glock 19, left handed shooter, 1.5" belt loops, outside the waistband, and with a weapon mounted light. This holster will be viewed by a Florida police department, and a Florida gun shop who is also new and looking to stock and sell kydex holsters.

Could be an awesome set of account's for me. Or it could go nowhere this time. We will see.

Holsters thpically sell for about $55 up to $120 depending on the amount of "custom" the customer wants.

A gun shop could order 50-100 per month. And a police station could place an order for 30-1000 at one time.

A buddy i know who got started in october 2013 took an order of 998 from a police department. At $50 a piece he knocked it out in 45 days by recruiting a bunch of friends.

Its slow for me now, but everyday i am getting more and more interest in my work. Just gotta keep grinding.

what i meant was i'd be happy if they graded some trails, and then it rained.

Thats why they make recovery gear, and friends rigs!

[badhoopty]

pretty sure if i told the guy i would pay for shipping he would do the deal.

im still on the fence about offering that up tho. what do you guys think? its this:

ARB Premium Recovery Kit (RK9)

i dont really need it, but im not doing a damn thing with my 4pk.

[Die-Laughing]

Do it! Tell him to ship asap!

eh… i could probably also trade that 4pk for a nice scx roller. im not really gonna go out of my way to make this recovery thing happen. i already have a nice strap and drings…

[bronc4now]

Getting excited! This weekend i need to do a few things..
You guys think it would be silly to get a alignment before i go wheeling? Or just wait ..It needs it my front tires are wearing down a little funny..

[johnnyh66]

I'm planning on going but I gotta be careful... I can't afford to have any problems out there.
And, I have to move the following day... anyone want to help carry a couple couches!
