Blazer's 85 Suburban "Twinkie"

[kgblazerfive]

Got another little add done today. Kenalee and I were out for a drive and she mentioned if i remembered how hot the center console got in Moab from the sun, said yup. So we did something about it. Piece of plywood and some carpet and good to go. It is bolted down to the lid.

So I am feeling really bored, most years about this time I am thrashing. This year I am quite happily doing nothing. I have been making plans for time after Blazer Bash though.
Going to get about 7 sticks of HREW. Going to get 1 3/4, got the slider material already so just need the cage stuff..

Yeah, wish I wasn't in thrash mode right now........

It must be your turn. I'm not in thrash mode either. It's not helping the time pass though

 

[blazinzuk]

I'm not in thrash mode.

I'm in more of a "trash" mode...you know, kinda grouchy.

In light of my recent events really, really, really, glad I did not have a project to get done before the bash. Going to be fun mounting the tires for the trip although it it a few weeks out so may be okay by then.

 

[Bent77]

Glad you're okay. We'll see you in Moab

Call me when you want to do them and I'll be right up.

So replaced one of my batteries yesterday, would not get above a 66% charge on it. Hooked up a trickle charger to the system also.

It has been a bit of time since I have driven it, kind of a bit of a stretch to get in it right now.

Last year my CB sucked every time I would key the mic it would squeal everybody on the channel. So bought a new one got it today. Going to put it in Monday.

Have cooler that is old as dirt and I got for free. Is so bad you would put ice in it and it would be water by the start of the trail. So got a new one of those too. It is already in, just had to un-box it and stick it in the back.

What did you get for a CB?

 

[kgblazerfive]

It is a Uniden Pro 510XL

 

[K85 Octane]

I have the same one. Seems to work fine and easy to use. I paired it with a Wilson 1000

Happy with mine. Better than the Radio Shack units I've had.

Got the new CB in seems to work, the other one did also so we will see when I get to talk to somebody.

Got the crawling tires put on. Found a loose bearing on the left front so tightened that. Going to need new ones relatively soon they are making a bit of noise.

Got all the zerk's greased

Emptied out my ammo boxes make sure I have everything that I had last year, and to remind my self what I have in them. Put a little bungee on the jack handle to keep it from rattling around. Don't know if it was but better safe then sorry.

Picture is what I am carrying in my tool bag. Figure on trying to have any tool that I may need, with in reason. Got zip ties in the electrical box in case a leaf spring breaks.................
