bheinen74 Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 hope you can make it with my bumper. and for anyone else, there will be extra space at the campsites for those who did not get to reserve a spot. my tent is small, the brat is small, and there is lots extra space i have been to ledges before. dont think the park ranger will care either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bheinen74 Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 bheinen74 I might want a spare ea81.. not realy sure yet. lets talk about that at the campout. It will be cheap, but I am not sure whether it really needs rebuilt or not. It smoked some, but seemed to have pretty good road driveability and didnt smoke on the highway. and the oil was not low after the 65 mile drive, so i will talk about. Its still in the car now. just started it the other day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dude Abides Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 your a big boy mick so you make your own decisions. But if i were you i wouldnt be takeing the red brat. Just got done with a major overhaul and your rushing it. I duno take the blue brat, we dont need to go offroading, or you could ride with someone else. Just a thought. The blue brat sure could use some road time. Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bheinen74 Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 some one could have taken my parts Brat a week ago, but its lacking too many parts now, including the steering wheel sector, ignition, and tailights. lol you could hang on to the shifter i suppose, lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcbrat Posted June 2, 2009 Author Share Posted June 2, 2009 So is Denis showing up? aas of right now, it looks like rain all weekend..... maybe I should find a topper for my '72 quick like Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcbrat Posted June 2, 2009 Author Share Posted June 2, 2009 as of now the Brat. I did find the top radiator hose has been rubbing the snorkus of the hitachi carb inlet, so i have to swap out the hose for a long trip like this for fear of it totally rubbing thru. I am going to have Weber located, but it wont be here in time to install, so this will be the last trip in it with the hitachi crap, i mean carb. I just hacked the end of the snout off on my '86... Mick, remember the Subaru stickers in white. Got em done. Will have Ben's with me as well. I'm still pushing for the Red Brat, but it's looking like the '72 instead.....

bheinen74 Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 Red Brat not ready....well guess the big old truck will do its job. I got my Rad hose replaced on sunday. noticed my heater hose was rubbing on the steering joint so that got replaced last night. I have to go and pick up a riding mower tonight in Tama, in the BRAT. I hope it fits in the BRAT somehow.....lol wish me luck. and hope the Brat can carry that extra weight without rub issues. Also, the third eye installed and the 85 grill has been trimmed to fit the center light. did not have time to hook it up. oh boy what a fun weekend in the rain this will be. Maybe i better put n my brat hat too, although my tent should do okay with rainfly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW theres a Justy 4wd n craigs now, and my old snapper is posted up on there too. only 2 emails, one wanted to trade a picnic table for it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
