Geez that really sucks, Josh was dying on the last trip to drive and couldn't wait to bring his rig back "next time", and now this. He should just bring it, wheel it with no fear of the body being any worse, and allow insurance to pick up the bill just the same .

I would park my truck in the freaking yard if I lived down there after something like that happend. Tell Josh I wish him all the luck with getting his rig fixed, and I hope he still joins us all for the fun and festivities.

 

i think you all might interested in this if u ran out of inspirations to do to ur rigs, the guy says its cheap http://www.tacomaterritory.com/forum...ead.php?t=8268

I might be having this guy with a Tundra come, he's got an ARB Sahara Bar, locked F&R ARBs, and a 9.5ti winch. Met him today, exchanged numbers and he'll see if he can make the time, even if he doesn't hit the trails(size issue w/ a full size truck) he'll ride along. We will see. If I can ever catch my neighbor at home or in a parking lot I'll get him to come, lifted TLC w/ 35' swampers. I can't wait till May and that first time of slipping the case into low range.

 

This trip is getting huge! We'll need about 5 to 6 groups as it is right now.

 

Well, I'm taking a half day on Thursday, so I'll be down there between 3-4pm. I can't wait!

Chris

 

Yeah - If everybody shows Tellico will be crowded as hell. The 4 wheeler
guys will be mouthy !

 

I'm planning to go right to Slickrock firs thing, run it, and depending on how it goes, probably attempt helicopter pad, and possibly upper 2.

Chris

 

Yeah - but your hardcore !

Thanks for the welding tips and the practice.
I should have the sliders ready to mount by next week.

 

well, now that we've found a house, i'm back in limbo again.

we wanted to close on april 29th, but they pushed back to may 13th so that they can get into the new house that's being built for them. there's a few buffer days in there, but not many. hopefully, things will go well on their new house and they can move in a week or more early, allowing us to close early and get settled. if that happens, then i'm at crawfords friday and saturday since my m-i-l will be here to help the wife get things settled her way.

if it's still on friday the 13th, then i'm screwed as far as se4rj-ii goes..

wish us luck!

 

We'll be right behind you.

We have 4 rigs in our group coming down from Ohio as of today. All 1st Gens. All similiar in build and capability

Andy we wish you all the luck possible. I hate to see the originator of plans get screwed in the end. I'm sure it will all work out and you'll be there playing in the rocks with the rest of us.

I'm going to try and be there early as heck on Thursday, ready to hit the trails and be all the support I can on any day. How many people are bringing cameras(still) and video cameras? I know Austin will have his usuall stash how bout others?

 

Everybody order your shirt ASAP !

Brian goes to a lot of extra effort to do this for us - so don't make him try to squeeze in last minute orders. He has already put forth the effort !

Got off the butt and order !!!!

Is it May yet ?

 

Well, I had some plans fall through on the truck, which would have helped slightly on the harder trails, so I'm probably going to need someone to lead slickrock, in case I need a tug. Is this still cool with your 1st gen group?

Chris

 

You did great Doc. Mig welding is a pretty easy thing to learn, as you could see. But, I was very impressed to see you lay such a consistent bead, right off the bat.

By the way, I wouldn't grind down your frame until the day we do the welding, because as you probably know it will rust up very quickly, which will just make us have to grind it off again.

I've still got to fix my upper suspension link, but I'm hoping to knock that out today. For right now, I'm just going to put some additional bracing on it, and rock and roll temporarily. I've found some brand new RE large joints that I might buy of someone, but I need to check the dimensions on the truck first. I think this will completely alleviate and binding in the future once the suspension is flexing more.

Chris

 

I could be there as early as 3pm, and I'll be there with a video camera and possibly my Dad's very nice digital camera if he'll let me borrow it. The problem is I never get any pictures of my vehicle, unless I have a passenger.

Chris

 

I'm off all day that Thursday - so we can go to Tellico together. I have to load the trailer with firewood that morning but I should be ready to leave as early as noon. I'll have some extra time between now and then - if you need help with your rig. Give me a holler - we will work it in !

I doubt that I'll get the locker in by Tellico - still not here and I have a list of other things to accomplish first - I'm goingt o try like hell though !

 

Sure, works here.
