Damn so I can't find any rental place that has a pickup or cargo van in stock for today so I can go pickup the repaired jet ski. So now my only choice is to have my girl drive me to the shop as they are willing to put it in at a local launch ramp and keep the trailer till my parents come down with a vehicle to put it in. Crazy part is they are on the northern part of the lake and we live on the southern part. Its going to be like a 17 mile ride on a jet ski and there are probably going to be a shit load of boats out for Labor Day weekend already and water will probably be rough as shit. This is going to suck.

I have the hitch and ball yes. I actually have 3 LOL with different length drops too. Just got off the phone with the place and need to be there between 12:30 and 1 for them to put it in for at the local ramp should be an interesting trip. Never been on the northern part of the lake at all. Going to need to take a map with me and a phone with the recent problems I have been having with this thing.

I can likely get a truck we can borrow.

On a side note...you should download the Navionics app on your phone. It's a nautical navigation app that is fully detailed and has loads of features.

Appreciate the offer about the truck. It is a small mom and pop place and I don't believe they are open on the weekend which I why I am trying to do it during the day today. Might take you up on it though so we can at least go pickup the trailer and keep it from sitting outside till one of my parents gets down.

Sweet thanks about the map program will definitely download that in case I get lost.

Crank pulley bolt pwnage!!

Took me all day but I finally got it. Went to lowes and got a 5' pipe. Went to sears and got a (all 1/2" drive) breaker bar, 20" extension, and socket. Couldn't figure out why it wouldn't budge. Then it hit me. I was turning it the wrong way.

6 minutes of heat and turning it the right way and POP!! YAY!! IT'S OFF!!!

So this one goes out to all those crank pulley bolts out there.

This is my progress so far. I had to take my wheels off for new tires because I was already wearing into the steel belts and didn't know. So that took some of my time this morning.

Tommorow I will change the belt and water pump. Put the side of the engine back together. And clean my intake manifold.

Monday...valve adjustment. And put everything back together.

Jack where is this said bbq place? If they ran out of pork, that only leads me to believe this said place is the shit.

Supposed to be...that and they can only cook so much due to the size of the place. They still had ribs (which are only Friday and Saturday) and everything else, just not chopped pork. We're going back Tuesday for lunch...going early, too...no chances.

Yeah, your parents wouldn't mind at all . Not saying you shouldn't do it (you should ), but I don't think they'd appreciate a jet ski sounding like that. I say do it, and if, well when, they say something, play dumb

Brian, do your intake and front lip install at the same time since the front bumper has to be taken off.

I am confident she will awake with an aggressive demeanor, and jdm aficionados will all take a bow. A moment of jdm silence will ensue.
