We'll leave Antrin Truck Stop at 9:30 which is just off highway 17 at White Lake Rd. From there (or if you are coming from Ottawa direction on the 417), take Calabogie Rd. When you hit Burnstown, go left on Burnstown Rd. The trailer parking will be a little dirt lane on the right called Mervin Lane, and just after that is Lower Spruce Hedge Rd. also on the right. If there's no one at Mervin Lane, head to Lower Spruce Hedge Rd.

Dave, do you have a 2 inch hitch receiver? We have a tow point that goes in the hitch receiver.

Thanks, now tomorrow when I do get stuck I'll feel like a real tool lol
Well damn
I guess when I was out testing my truck the other night I pushed it a little to far.
Yes those are 3 pieces torn out of my crawlbox housing.
I was supposed to get a second transfer case mount done and I was actually working on it along with a skid place when I noticed that my crawlbox had flex to it. That's just not right.
Anyway I managed to take it all out in 1.75 hours with .5 hours for just one bolt that is underneath my crossmember. I will show pictures of how I got that out later.
I am bringing it to my neighbor at 8 am and if all goes well I will join you on the trail later. Do not wait for me I will catch up if I am coming.

Yeah, this is sort of my fault, not enough time to finish everything and wanting to wheel, what bugs me is that I wasn't in too much of a panic to do it as another guy I know of from Pirate ran his for a long time without breaking. Oh well at least I have a neighbor who welds aluminum at 8 on a Sunday morning.

Well I am out, my neighbor who is retired for some reason is not going to kill himself to get this done asap lol. Because there are mulitple breaks and he is concerned about the torque stress it is going to take him "longer" but he is going to build it up even stronger anyway and he is one meticulous SOB and probably one of the best aluminum welders in the valley.
Oh well.
Oh well.
