I'm going to miss the fun also!

What are you running that you need a fuel tanker for?

 

I have a 150 gallon tank from an OTR truck that is looking for a new home.
The plan did not quite work out as I had planned.

On the good side I picked up a very nice bed for the truck over in Spirit Lake ID.
I-90 is a pit on this side. A carpenters dream would need a sports braw. I think
James Bond would like the ride. Shaken not stirred. I thought my teeth were going
to fall out before I got to Ellensburg. Not so bad coming back.

 

Yeah big fuel tanks are something to drool over when you have a truck that gets 7 mpg like my truck does. Superfun to spank some riceburners but not so friendly on the gas gauge. So with only one tank running now i get about 150 miles out of cab tank and i am bone dry. So aftermarket ones are what i am looking at now. Have to check fuel filters since it seems to be ok in town but seems to surge a little at freeway speeds. Oil and tranny fluids checked out fine so with only 16,000 on it i shouldn't be having much issues but parts do wear out which means time to upgrade !! Give me google and a credit card and i will find some new shiny part to make it onto my truck. I actually like doing research on parts since it allows me to weed out the junk that seems to be everywhere so i custom hot rod shops seem to be the ones with the knowledge and high quality i am looking for.
Back issues now makes road trips not as fun as they used to be but i want everyone to have fun since its nice to just get out of town and have a change of scenery.

 

I'm here in the parking lot, looks like NW just arrived too.

 

 

Went to bed later than normal and the alarm did not wake me up.
Did anyone get some photos to post?

Sorry I missed things.

I have something for everyone to try.
Get people that interact with on FTE to join there local chapter.

 

Not surprised that the main guy did not show up ... this chapter is all show and no go, this breakfast event proves my point.
And the reason I stepped away is because I felt like an outsider because I have an older Explorer and and a somewhat newer Ranger but do not have a fancy up to date vehicle with computer this and that as many of you have posted.
What is really sad, is that I do have significant financial resources to participate ... significant resources. Did I say "significant" resources ? Echo.
When I felt that I was being ignored and shut out, I decided to step away.
If you want to get folks to join, and/or stay in the chapter, I suggest embracing new/old returning members and not shoving them aside.
Just sayin'. Casey

 

No pictures on my end, good conversation and decent food though.

Saw a 7.3 SCLB get loaded on a flatbed while eating too.

I did call and text.

Casey- sorry you feel that way, regardless I believe the chapter when people do involve themselves has a wide range of folks. I showed up with my 99 F250 CCSB, NW showed up in his Excursion and Onug in his Ecoboost. All car guys having a good time. :-ja-mmin

While checking out the rigs we saw a Lamborghini leave the Brewery parking lot too.

I've seen members Bumpsides, Dentsides, Centurion Bronco's and more show up. Participation has always lacked since I joined.

Out of all the meet up we have done I only missed 2 and I was not the one in charge back
when people met up at John's place. I have been at all the rest of them even back when it
was just two of us showing up. And where were you during those times? All the places dates
and times can be found in the older threads if you care to look.

Jimmy Macs back in 2013. Ended up being just two of us.

So not everyone is going to make it every time but some of us try.



Oh and BTW I am a swing shift person so getting up at 8 AM is not an easy thing for me to do.

 

Now back to what I intended to say.

I hope that on one when east and were planning on coming back
with any speed. There was a big mess with some big trucks and
cars near Cle Elum west bound.

Good evening guys, Glad a few of you guys got together and had a good time!

I ended up working this morning and then put a little time in on the Bronco. Getting the four link rear suspension mocked up.
