We are having a Toyota roundup at Hale mtn OHV park on the weekend of June 15th through the 17th.

Several of us decided to try and put something together for all the toyota guys to come out and hit the trails at one of the best OHV parks in the southeast. Check out Hale's website for details on the park and pricing for the event.

The event will be sponsored by your local Trail Gear dealer www.extremerocrigs.com . I think they have talked TG into donating some toyota gear that will be raffled off on saturday evening. Maybe Ben can give more info on this.

We'll post more info as it is available . Hope to see you there.

I have a pitman arm for a jk. It's longer than stock. It came with a rough country 4in lift kit. I didn't need it for my application. If you want it you can have it.]]> Fri, 18 May 2012 15:58:13 +0000 http://www.rocketcityrockcrawlers.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9784&PID=70325#70325 General 4x4 Discussion : Diesels that burn Gasoline? http://www.rocketcityrockcrawlers.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9786&PID=70323#70323 Author: alabamatoy

From Slashdot:

"Autoparts manufacturer Delphi has developed a diesel-like ignition engine running on gasoline, providing a potential 50 percent efficiency improvement over existing gas-powered engines. Engineers have long sought to run diesel-like engines on gasoline for its higher efficiency and low emissions. Delphi's engine, using a technique called gasoline-direct-injection compression ignition, could rival the performance of hybrid automobiles at a cheaper cost."

I tried calling Coca-Cola on Clinton, but their phone was busy all afternoon.

Looks like a couple of guys in Athens have them, but I'd rather not have to drive over there to get them.

I'll try the Buffalo Rock place tomorrow.

Going to use them to store rainwater, but not for drinking.

Thanks for the replies/

The Buffalo Rock place on Old Mad Pike used to sell them; that's where I got mine.

If you were going to use them for potable water, you had to wash them real good with bleach water because they were used to ship soft drink syrup. All mine stank of Dr Pepper. I mean overpowering stench of Dr Pepper. A few rinses with a few gallons of bleach water, accomplished by putting the couple gallons in the barrel and capping it, then driving around with the barrel in the back of the pickup where it could roll around good, and the smell was gone. These barrels, the 15gal version, are what I store emergency water in.

A 55gal drum of water weighs almost 500 lbs.

Im assuming you want them to store water, if not, ignore all this rambling....

There is a tremendous press in an aircraft refurbishing shop down in Birmingham that looks like it came off of a WWII battleship. It is from that era I'm pretty sure. The company today is called Pemco. They refurbish aircraft for the military. The big building they have (shows up real nice on a 7.5 min USGS topo quad) has 7-10 bays that can each hold 2 or 3 C-130's. It's a massive building. Their press is in that building. I remember seeing the pressure rating as being rather high (obviously not as high as "The Fifty") but nonetheless impressive piece of old iron. I'll have to ask my Dad what it's rated.

This is a neat story. Thanks, Doc.
