I know, I'm stoked! Thanks for the info Fink... Lack of brains or excessive guts leads to exciting wheeling... so does trailering it too!!! Also looks like I may be a few friends short due to my brother's wife who is currently [edited: about to pop].... I asked her to wait til Monday. She didnt find it funny. Anyway, I may have some room in my rig for riders!

 

Waaayyyy too much information my friend

I'll bring my two spotlights for some good lighting on the trail. I know Anthony and I are going to sleep in our own rigs...are you guys gonna bring tents or sleep in the rigs? Just curious.

Fink

 

lol.... edited for tmi

 

Haha, you didn't have to do that but it is appreciate it.

Fink

 

Well... I dunno. I usually sleep in my tow rig, but will prob bring the tent. I might have some additonal room in it too for others... It sleeps 6 if its raining, about 10 if its not.

 

Oh I know.. but if you didnt say it, Hans surely would have.

 

So are there any females coming on this trip? I asked a few but they weren't into it.

Fink

 

lol... I wasnt plannin on bringin any... would you like me to? I'm sure Vanessa would like to come, and shes pretty cute. Or I could just call my little bro... he seems to think hes god's gift to them and they seem to agree. still havent figured that one out.

edit: i will say I dont think 4wheelin is the best way to meet a future girlfriend or wife. Although if it did happen, that wouldnt be bad. At least ya got something in common.

 

Kelsey won't be coming this time. Her parents don't like the overnight thing. So I'll be solo this trip.

 

Ahh the good ole high school days...lol.

I was just wondering, I don't care if any come or not...I'm not really in the market. Although, I did meet one hell of a cutie today...Anthony knows what I'm talkin about.

I'm gettin pumped!! It's gonna be a sweet weekend!

Fink

 

I hear ya. I will say, for the most part, women who enjoy 4wheelin/wrenching/etc.. are few and far between. Its a shame.

I wonder how busy Disney is goina be this weekend...

 

She's had a blast the last 2 times we've been to Disney. Wrenching is a different story... any time i smell funny like gear oil or anything she's like "ew, stay away." Though i can't say i blame her.. gear oil is pretty nasty stuff.

 

Agreed on the gear oil.

 

Anthony and I just met up and came up with a list of all the stuff that we could think of to bring with us. The stuff in bold are the bare essentials.

-Lanterns
-Inverter
-Jumper cables
-Spare tire
-Sockets
-Recovery Gear (chains, tow straps, shackles...)
-Bottle jack?
-2-way radios
-Batteries (for anything you might have, I will be bringing D, AA, AAA's)
-Camera
-Emergency/First Aid Kit
-Hi-Lift and Slider Adapter
-A couple quarts of oil
-Cooler with your choice of food and drinks
-Spotlights (I will at least have one 3 million candlepower corded one)
-Pillows/Blankets/Sheets (Temps are supposed to get down to about 50*, which is perfect IMO)
-Toilet paper
-Mouthwash/Tooth brush
-Plastic cups/plates
-Tire gauge
-Rain gear/Umbrella
-Electrical/Duct tape
-Trash bags
-Some sort of locking device for anything you need to leave back at camp (I have a Brinks Security 6' lock cable that I'll be bringing and we can always use some chain and a padlock)
-Straps (Ratchet, bungee...)
-Fire extinguisher
-Shop towels
-Cash money

If you guys can think of anything go ahead and add it to the list, be sure to let me know what you've added so I can update my list.

I will be bringing pretty much everything that is on this list so if you don't have something I'm sure I'll have some extra stuff.

Fink

 

I just called Mr. Hogan and he said there's gonna be quite a few people there this weekend but that it wasn't gonna be busy enough that we'd have to make reservations. He's expecting there to be a lotta people on the trails but no so many camping.

Just thought I'd let ya'll know.

Fink

Nice list Cory. Sounds like we all got it covered.

Fink

 

Fink I'm sleeping in your runner right?

 

Well I guess I could just sleep in my runner lol

 

Haha. No.

I'm pretty much all packed and ready to go, I gotta get all the food and stuff together tomorrow. I found a perfectly sized box at Bed, Bath & Beyond for all my recovery gear, emergency gear and odds and ends to fit in. The only things that won't be securely tied down are my tool bag and cooler. I still don't know where I'm gonna put my cooler but I'll find somewhere.

Gimme a call later tonight Anthony and we can meet up and get packed up.
