Houston Area Wayalife-ers!

[DWiggles]

I would be down to wrench a little. I've done my drag link flip.

PM sent!

The 13/16" drill bit i ordered has a 1/2" shank, and I THOUGHT my drill had a 1/2" chuck, turns out the chuck on the drill is 3/8" So if anyone is coming to help, could you bring a 1/2"+ chuck drill I can use to dill the knuckle? otherwise I'll have to buy one before the weekend. Thanks.

I could probably stop by should be free after 10. I have a Grinder and Sawzall I don't have to much experience in don't mind helping out.

Looks like we're in luck. I will be there for a little bit probably from around 3pm-6 or 7pm. My gf will be working that day so it will be just me and maybe our puppy. Will leave a bit early cause we will be going to Barnwells the morning after so will need to get home and get everything packed

Finally found a matching spare.
Now it's time to order a tire carrier. Kinda between the Crawler Conceptz body mount, or the Or-Fab. Anybody have experience with either, or any other suggestions?

Hey guys, I'm down in the Clear Lake area. Just wanted to say hi!

 

[Kyle7R]

I heard of a Jeep gathering down at Twin Peaks in Clear Lake coming up, anybody know anything about it or planning on going?

Otherwise, what other Jeep activities are going on around these parts?

I haven't heard anything about it, but definitely interested. I'm also thinking its about time for another Houston area meet up or hidden falls run.

I'm not on Facebook, somebody linked it to Reddit though. I believe I'm off that day.

 

[Packers937]

I'd be interested in a meet up around Houston

 

[Hobolobo]

Well lets try to get something together, I'm thinking one of the last 2 saturdays in april. Open to suggestions though.

You guys thinking a Hidden Falls run, or just a meet up? It's also almost time for trips to the beach. :brows:

 

[Packers937]

I'm up for either. And yep, it's getting closer to beach weather. San Luis Pass can be fun for some mild mudding...

I've never been down that far, but I'd be willing to give it a go! We always just run down to Bolivar and down Crystal Beach.

Thought San Luis would be a hell of a lot farther, but according to Google Maps its about the same from my side of town.

Hey guys I'm down in Victoria, that close enough to the Houston area?
