In the field repair shots

[pwc]

Looking back through some photos I found I have a number of semi-goofy shots of people crawling under and on trucks out in the field. And thus a thread idea was started.

Bonus points given if there are more than 5 people standing around watching the repair. No garage or driveway shots, but along side the road counts.

Bent the steering components... about 20+ people watching, including women and children.:sombrero:

Ill play!

1- popping the B pillar out of the passenger's seat after falling in "The Firehole"
2- Welding a cracked Birfield because it was the last spare anyone in the group had
3- Not really a repair, but lots of people standing around

I recently cleaned out my picture files- I thought I had a bunch more. Tacozona has one of my wife helping me change a greasy birf with her engagement ring glinting from the flash!

Baja...Broken/torn Power steering return line.
There was about five people, possibly more at one time supervising, I mean observing.

Robb adjusting the flux capacitor or looking for his manifold lunch. I'm not sure which......:removeredX:

Over heating problem, I think, not mine. We were really working them that day alot of the trail was axle deep with some sections deeper. We stopped here for a quick underhood check.

More recently (in the background) a buddy taping up an intake and checking the breathers before the crossing - "just in case".

I resemble that remark :jump:

Here are a few, I know I have more just will have to find them.

So first, Ben fixing Joe's truck befor it left the trailer. Brian is first to go over for the day. Zach and his many blown beads(can we say beadlocks). Ben on his side(and not the last time). Steve Crase with a blown birf. Last is the cause of the birf, trying to pull Greg out of a big drift.

HA! Give yourself some credit, bro. At least you're usually doing something important:

That's you filming Mario doing some wonder-work on a Disco that shall remain nameless:

BTW: Ain't there supposed to be a dvd available for sale that gives us your perspective on that little event . . . hmmmm?

I think there are supposed to be a couple of DVD's available....I think if he'd quit trying to earn a living and focus on our entertainment a bit more, we'd have our DVD's!

:gunt:

[Desertdude]

I only wish I had my video cam on when Robb was working the magic on his 80 (I will have to re check the footage):lurk:

Thanks for posting those photos Mark - I was thinking of those exact shots...






[Side note]
Yes both ECDD/ET.06 DVD's have been finished :violent-smiley-031: (I am on the AOE.07 DVD now) who has time for a real job :ylsmoke:

Any extra points for a dog supervising?

Here is our very own Goodtimes working on a broken shock with his pooch Cherokee supervising. :xxrotflma

[goodtimes]

Funny...I don't remember having two midget kayaks strapped to the roof of my jeep....nor do I recall having that goofy door mounted so high on the passenger side....

:peepwall:

[PhulesAU]

:victory: Great shots, but... The old question " how many ----'s does it take to change a light bulb" comes to mind. My last one involved a broken disconect, I crawl out and almost 20 people are standing around to " Observe".:yikes:

I was trying to figure out where to put the supercharger.:p

Duuuddde...no really Dude...
I think you have enough video of me already. I don't need any more of my face floating around this place.
BTW when do we get the Baja video?

:PROFSheriffHL:

:p

...but you always give me the gold :victory:

The Baja tapes are in the queue, I'll have my people call your people ;)

[goodtimes]

Baja tapes hell...I'm still waiting to see the full version of the ExTrophy sand course demo run.....:smilies27

[gjackson]

Got a few to add. First 2 are from replacing an altenator in Cameroon. Wrong altenator so we had to modify the mounts. Next one of doing a bearing job in Cameroon. High quality supervision there! :sombrero: Then replacing a shock in Niger. And the last two are from the transmission replacement in Morocco. More high quality supervision!

cheers

Not a pic of mine, but I thought it was cute and met the criterea...

OMFG!!!!!!!
Chris's "position" is priceless. He's watching that tire change with intensity, baby!

LMAO!! :jump: Yeah, and Brian has the opposite feeling on the operation.

Yea, but if you remember, that was MY spare tire being installed on someone elses truck...after I rolled it down the trail about 500 miles to get it there....:smilies27

[BajaTaco]

:REExeSquatsHL1: Man, that was tough work. :p

[adventureduo]

Breaking a u-joint in my old XJ while showing off on a training day for newbies.. Good times!

Looking out the back window of our old FJ40 as the assembled group of Rising Sun people working on a finicky carb.

I recently cleaned out my picture files- I thought I had a bunch more. Tacozona has one of my wife helping me change a greasy birf with her engagement ring glinting from the flash!
I had to dig deep through my photo archive to find these, but it's well worth it!!
assessing the carnage of the Birfield joint damage
this is where the Birf barfs
they don't normally look like this
successful field repair! (but don't let that engagement ring get dirty)

Good thing he carries tools & spares. But I think sometimes the rock crawler guys actually like breaking down - so that they get to fix stuff.

Not sure if changing a tire counts as a field repair, but here a few shots of destroyed BFG "Rugged" Trail tires:

This was the last run I did with my 2WD Tacoma. Two weeks later I sold it & bought a 4WD. =)
This is what happens when you drive too fast on a washboard road with a heavy load. I was following BogusBlake when it happened, and there was quite an explosion of dust!


:elkgrin:

[pwc]

now those are some classy pictures. :)

Expedition Trophy '06, overland route:
Ed Beggy's Toyota FJ40 breaks a motor mount

Jonathan stops at nothing to finish the job...

In the end, the motor mount was fixed with a combination of bailing wire and hose clamps. Ed drove it for the remainder of the overland route and all the way back to Tucson :D
