I have nothing left to do but shrug it off and fix it. One of these days I'll be able to post more in the events posts and less in the technical help and sux threads.

I'm definitely getting better at putting an engine together though! It's like I've already done 4-5 of them.

On a positive note your timing cover bolts won't seize with all of the work they getting.

Desparately trying to make it, I just don't know my schedule for Vietnam trip #2. Are there any open seats for those who are going?

I'm out. My doors & trim won't be here till the end of March. No way I can get them sanded, stained, lacquered, installed, and my Bronco back together, in time.

How many of you are driving out VS towing out thinking of making arrangements to tow if I can as Moab will probably be a shake down run for me.

It seems like everyone is bailing on Moab this year! WTF?!

If I go- I'll be trailering mine out.

Even if my truck could be done, I'd be on the fence. I really want to spend more time wheeling & camping here in CO this year. Only so much time off from work. I'll be back to Moab. Maybe next year.

Seems like not many people from the club are going this year. I was hoping it was going to be better attended. Love Moab I haven't had a chance to wheel the Bronco there yet this should be the year. Hope more people will change their mind and decide go.

I won't be able to make it this year either. Hopefully, I'll have a replacement engine installed by the next Moab.

I might go, it's only 1.5 hours away for me. I would trailer my Bronco if I do. Not 100% sure yet.

It looks like I'm going to make it. I'm going to pitch a tent in the campsite of some of my Toyota 4WD friends who are attending the Rising Sun Offroad Club event. I just need to sign up now (and find a shotgun seat in a Bronco that's not occupied).

I just hope I don't get snorkeled. spank
