CT crew straight reppin.' I have a 7000 lb capacity car trailer if it helps, but my big truck is out of commission and my 318is can probably pull more than my little truck. Fake edit : Beer?

My yard is also available for blowing poo poo up, I'm right on the CT/mass line on 84/90 in Southbridge. I think I mentioned in the offroad thread that I spend most of my time in Southbridge at my girl's house. We should hang out sometime, definitely. Or go wheeling if I ever get my 'yota to run right again. Billy Tully posted:Nice, I live like 15 minutes away from Marks and go all the time. I'll let you know when I'm going. I'm down for Marks.

My prepped '91 Toyota pickup on 31" tires is at my dad's house in Stafford waiting for me to replace the ECU. Otherwise, I'd take you up on that. I don't think my '86 2wd would do too well off road. Hell, it doesn't do too well ON the road.

kastein posted:So, I think I managed to find this trail you're talking about today. Is the entrance down that dead end road by the abandoned Bolles dealership? I went down one of the roads there and ended up in some kind of logging base camp. (Got this truck covered in mud for the first time ever, heh) The other option was a little too rocky for my tiny truck to handle, so I decided to continue from whence I came. As for my other truck, I have no idea what the problem is, really. I've been working on it for years off and on. What started as a random hard miss has evolved into the truck randomly not having any spark, which leads to being stranded, which has lead to it sitting at my dad's house instead of at my house. That's actually how I ended up buying the '86 that I have. I cashed in some securities so that I could have a daily driver again, as the E30 almost never leaves home. So far I've replaced the igniter, distributor, plugs and wires, (twice) cap and rotor (twice) ECU solenoid, MAF, installed a full MSD setup and more, all to no avail. I recently bought a used ECU off ebay, along with a replacement ignition switch wiring harness. Hopefully that's the end of it, but this truck has been a living hell, so I doubt it will ever end. Even if I do solve the issue, I've probably burned a few valves from the random lean running. gently caress I just want to go off road again  Here she is in happier times, somewhere up an atv trail in Wallingford.

kastein posted:hmmmm. I just realized I should pull a honking huge turbo off something at the junkyard before this. We can try to blow up small motors with big turbos and max throttle. I have a junk T25 sitting on the floor next to me here at work, plus a lawnmower that needs to die a horrible death. This turbo is seriously as bad as a turbo can get. When I was running it in my NG900 I had my own giant smoke screen everywhere I went, with endplay so bad the impeller hit the casting and broke a few vanes off. I can bring both. Hell, I should bring this turbo just so people can laugh at it. It's a horrible failure unto itself.

kastein posted:We tried out the thermite recipe last weekend. Sadly, apparently measuring it with a cut in half beer can and mixing it by shaking it around for 30 seconds in an old mcdonalds cup isn't accurate enough. I'll be picking up a good scale today or tomorrow hopefully... and a good ball mill, and some magnesium strip. A drunken learning experience is still a learning experience, we had fun and that's all that matters.
