Almost ready!



4.88's go in next Saturday and boy does it need them! 5th gear is useless with 4.10's and have to down shift to 3rd around 40mph on hill I used to be able to take at 55-60 with 31's.

looks good so far. Any photos of the hail damage? I don't have too much problem on the highway with my 4.10s and 33's but yours is a 4runner and probably heavier.

I had the vehicle at a friends used car lot on consignment and the first time I looked at it I forgot my camera. When I went up to meet the adjuster, a good bit of the dents popped themselves out already because of the sun/heat. I had the camera with me that time, but I was pumped that I was selling it and getting $4248 after my deductible and my friend cut me a check for $4500 for it with the damage ( I had visions of KM2's and EB Cams dancing though my head) so I forgot to snap some pics. Every panel had damage except the P/S quarter. No broken glass, but dents everywhere.

Here's a pic that my friend texted me of the size of the hail.



It was in the Minersville/Pottsville area of Schuylkill County.

I need to get the body of mine finished now. I think I may have to do some trimming in the rear 1/4's. It looks like the 33's will rub at full stuff.

My problem is i have the parts, but not enough time. All day long i think about what i am going to do, and how i am going to do it...then i can't find the time.

I think i am going to stop sleeping, that right there is a good solid six hours every 24.

OK guys, 1 more week and I don't have my truck in my possession.

Anyway, I know RBX is still up in the air as well as me but should be good to go by then. I hope, Lumpy ain't gonna make it, Jerry if he shows up he's not wheeling. Pretty sure Brian is going just not as well equipped as he thought, not sure on yotaluver (sorry man forgot yur name lol).

Time to stat my contact list. Email me through the site with your Name, Phone number (cell preferred), Vehicle being taken and CB handle in case any of you are on the road. Please do not use the PM feature, it's too hard to keep track. Also send when your coming. Friday night or Sat morning and/or staying/camping for wheeling on sunday as well. Especially the camping part because I have to check us in with Lynn at the park office prior to camping.

CB channel for the run will be tentative based on channel traffic when we get there. I will be on CH19 the whole way down. I will switch to CH 34 when I get down there to monitor closer to the time I know someone is supposed to show up.

haha sounds good to me, but ya still need antenna and cable which I don't have. The mic could use some work but it works. I might have a 102" whip around here if I can find the darn thing but wouldn't count on it.
