Anyone checking in from the road?

[MSHardeman]

Where is everyone?

I saw Dumke's post on the Moab thread so hopefully he has been put back together (CV boots blew up) and is back on the road.

Be safe in your travels.

mark im just doing some last minute stuff around here on the VX and very patiently waiting to leave monday morning :bgwo:

but its like its itching under my skin to leave now lol

[MSHardeman]

Same here Jack. Just got done detailing the inside of the VX and tomorrow I'll give her a bath. All of this is really to just keep my mind off of wanting to leave....NOW!

I started the thread because I wanted to live through everyone else's experiences so I can feel like I'm on the road too.

[pbkid]

yea i can understand that....

wow that just reminds me how much different from other people i am....

tommorrow im gonna finish the install on my rear view camera and then gonna go mudding to get the VX all prettied up :bwgr::bwgr:

yea i got everything except for the rear view camera finished.....thats just gonna get done tommorrow....

any1 coming thru Grand Junction, Colorado need anything(help, directions, VX repairs) or wanna grab a beer or bite of lunch or just plain smoke n joke as they say in the MArines...just hit me up.

I'd be glad to offer what help I can.
Yes in Grand Junction, still have the VX. Need a pair of Cv's for the Driver/Passenger side to get it running on 2 axles and gain back 4x4. Also, if any1 is coming thru Junction and has a set of 2 or 4 extra decent tread 17 incher 235 to 255 and around 65 tires..that'd be sweeet. My daily driver has bald tires, when they go bald it'l get parked just like the VX for who knows how long till I find some tires.
So, any1 need help in Junction, let me know. have garage n tools can help, have tow dolly can tow you, have trailer can haul or pick up parts or whatever, get inventive, use your imagination, etc......

Spazz, you in GJ now? Still got the VX?

[pbkid]

wow i wasnt aware that you were still around these parts....

im sure we can make a pit stop in grand junction to get some gas and maybe lunch if you wanna meet up with us on monday??

not sure what time we will be coming through but if you send me your cell number i will call you when we leave glenwood...

[SPAZZ]

sent

[MSHardeman]

SPAZZ,

Wow, I haven't seen that name in a while.

I'm sure that you and Jack (pbkid) are taking care of a meeting time, but the CoZuvoy will definitely need to make a stop in GJ to meet up with you. We've got a few people coming from the Chicago area, and a couple coming down from North Dakota. They are picking Jack, and maybe a couple of others, up in Denver. They should be leaving Denver around 8am on Monday, and they will pick me up in Glenwood Springs. I'm guessing that they will hit Glenwood around 11 or noon and we can jump right back on the road to do lunch with you in GJ.

Can't wait to meet you.

well, hard luck with wife having cancer for the 3rd time now trying to beat it, while also trying to have our kids before too late from the cancer plus with my own list of problems from the Gulf and while in Marine Corps...we are unable to work, too young for SocSec and basically go farther negetive every month.

With that said, instead of sticking my face out in public I just let my broke VX sit and wrott cause I can't afford to fix it much less title it or register it, also, if I don't have anything to tell much less good or different from day to day wht's the point of talking on VX info or any other site for that matter, right?

We have no income, can't even partake in that ignorent puppet Bush's tax breaks, cause we are non productive members of society so we could file a return and those breaks wouldn't apply to us, cause we don't make any money.

anyways, I am gonna shut my mouth and go back to the once and awhile on line James. Not SPAZZ untill life is back in order and VX fixed, back on...I um mean Off the road.

Peace

SPAZZ,

I'm going to order a set of CV boots from Independent4x4 soon & actually only need 1. I'd be happy to donate my 'spares' to get you rolling again. I'll PM you when I get them in.

What else do you need besides tires (can't help you there)?

Tom

[SPAZZ]

not just boots... I need cv jpoints, man dude:eek:

full from the hubs to the green axle cubs, bearings and all.

Boots from inde will be one good thing that's happened me for that Japenese potbellied PIG since those kids hit me and broke it on the freeway, but without the joints it's toast without jam still:confused::o:o:o:o


Thats why I attempted the solid axle swap, but then my wife ended up with cancer a 2nd time, then 3rd, then we decided to have 2 kids while she still could, then my Gpa died and we ended up back in Junction(here)...things not so good. The VX is basically a plant potter:rolleyes:
I go out every week or 2 and jump it or let it burn some $4 a gallon gas and charge up and run a little. Kind of like that old man on Lost boys"wanna go to town..varoooooom, varrrrooooooom, ok that's as close to town as I get" then turn it off and go back inside.


I GREATLY appreaciate your thoughts and would love to find 4 boots on my doorstep instead of my universal $8car flimsy one I got from the AutoZone. I'm not even sure theyd hold up. Somewhere out there there is a set of passenger side and driver side cv's for $100 or less. I keep dreaming. So close yet so far away!!!!

[tom4bren]

SPAZZ,

I got a set from the bone yard. They 'borrowed' parts from them for the rebuild on my Proton's last year. He quoted me $300 to put these back to operational. I'm stretched pretty thin for the next few months but maybe I can have them back together for ya by this fall or I can send them 'as is' to see what you can get done.

Tom

[SPAZZ]
