Help needed......

This coming weekend August 3/4 I will be in Bako to move my rig out of AJ's wearhouse. It will be a sad day for sure as we have not yet finished work, but AJ and his partner Brandon have been really gracious over the last six months while we built my rig, they just need the room for their own stuff.

My rig doesn't yet run, nor will it come this weekend... so I am going to need some help moving a few things. I have gotten all the small stuff out and now need to get the big stuff out.... a few items to Josh's house and my rig on the trailer. I'd really like to do this Saturday afternoon, so I can get some time Sunday morning to shoot as much of the raw steel with primer as I can before I take it back home (it will rust like crazy in just a day or two out here).

So... hopefully I can get some of you to volunteer to help Saturday afternoon (really, I'll take the help anytime I can get it together). I am guessing I'll need 4-6 people to get the jeep out. We'll use the winch to get it up on the trailer.

Thanks in advance boys and girls!!! :drinks: :drinks:


Okay.... here's the official plan:

[b][size=150][color=#FF0000]Meet on Sunday 8/4 @ 10am to move the Jeep onto the trailer.

So far, I have these folks enlisted to assist:
Chris
Kody
Aaron
Matt
Becca
Justin
Francis
Victor
Roger
Travis
Randy

The more the merrier. I'll buy pizza and beer for lunch. I will also attempt to move the other stuff on Saturday if I can. Kody will be helping me finish the brakes on Saturday afternoon, so that should help a bit with moving the rig. If I can figure out some kind of tie rod to hold the wheels together, I'll get that going too. [/color][/size][/b]

Thanks boys.... I am open to do this at whichever point I have the help.

I'll give you a reminder Roger and thanks for being there if you could Jeff!


And you are right Jeff... not the best scenario, but then again, this took far longer than four days. :dig:

Josh is still going to help me out... just don't have a place to store it right now. I figure I can get much (all?) of the electrical completed here (which was always the case since I have internet here that I'll need to reference now and again as I remove major sensors and whatnot). I should hopefully be able to paint it as well. I studied the fuel system earlier and it looks to be an easy job and I believe I can do without help. So... I have a few things I can knock out here with my rudimentary skills.

Can I use it for a little bit? If I can get it shot with primer before bringing it to Oxnard, I'd be in a better position.

Thank you Frances.


I will give everyone a call tomorrow (Friday) with the plan.

If Sunday works better for some/all of you, speak up... as nothing is forcing one day or the other.

Looks like I have this so far.... I have to contact the saturday people that aren't on the sunday list to see if that works better for them? And I have two trips to make here.... one will be taking the rig over to Matt and Becca's house and the other will be taking the fab stuff over to Josh's house. The fab stuff is pretty easy and one or two hand should be plenty for that part... the big hard part will be getting the rig on the trailer (no steering (or connections), no brakes (might get that solved prior)), I do have my battery charged up, so we should be able to use the winch to pull it on, we just will need to worry about keeping it straight.

Sunday morning:
Matt and Becca.
Chris.
Travis.
Roger.
Kody.

Saturday afternoon:
Matt
Frances/Justin.
Victor.
Travis.
Roger.
Kody.

I also think I can get a couple others... going to make some calls today.
