They love to stuff your box with them!! I got a bunch with my first order, then more in the second, then more in the third (the oops order...long story), then sent a letter of apologize from Chris...with MORE stickers... I think I can save a can of paint for my 1/2 doors and just sticker the entire things.

Well Brian,
you have to represent! They are giving you all this free stuff, I would expect to see my name in the pics posted etc etc...

Oh and Marc,
I think I might be coming up there for a few days during my spring break. I'll bring my camera mounts and we can have a little look see on how I'm going to mount this bad boy!

Austin,

You lost me...please explain...if you are talking about the t-shirt...there web address is or will be in the back design border. Otherwise, you lost me.

Steve,

I got (2) sets of large diff armor from them...one perfect for modifying for the hydro assist mount. It is very well made...with the hex insert magnetic plugs.

Idunno,
I would just tend to think that the more you make it their wile to be your sponsor, the happier they will be and the more they will want to support next year.

The sponsors are listed on the first post...and on the website link. Their websites will be on the tee shirts and we got 10 billion of their brochures and stickers to give out. And the tee shirts and beanies for pictures, and then there is the 4WDTO article where we will pimp the sponsors...and possibly another mag interested as well. They will get pimped and pimped well.

First thing was an front axle Rebuild kit for my DD '85(tan). I was planing on replacing just the seals(due to leaking all over my driveway) but when taking off the knuckle the upper knuckle bearing fell to pieces iin my hands so I figured after 260K+ it was about time to do a full rebuild even though it has NEVER has been offroad.

Large Diff protection.. Needed one for my rear diff to match the front(allpro). Better late than before one of the softball size dents already there goes into the ring gear.

Dual t-case xmember skidplate. Self explanitory. One of those must have items when going duals.

This trip is going to be amazing, anyone got connections to some backwoods brew? There always seems to be a few jars floating around, we could give Steve a real taste of "hilbillie" camping.

i actually have some shine here. it's not east tennessee pedigree, but it was made by a former coworker of mine who is an immigrant from the chezc republic and now lives in cleveland, oh. he's an engineer that's done extensive work for anheuser-busch for over 37 years. he knows his alcohol to say the least. it's good stuff - STOUT - and will surely warm you up with just a sip. oh, and it's QUADRUPLE distilled - ~180 proof.

oh, has anyone seen the MTV special on how shine is making a comeback in rural america amoung teens? it was on a few times a year-and-a-half to two years ago. that documentary was filmed in cocke county, tn. i work about 3 miles from cocke county every day and a lot of the people that work at the plant make their own white lightning or can get me a jar or two. i'll see what i can do.

just be ready to and then to

Bridgestone Revo's installed.

Will the sliders and suspension upgrades happen?

Will I make the trip? It's anybody's guess!

I should be in on that caravan.

Warning: it will be a slow caravan with me pulling a big popup and Marc driving the Winnie and towing his '85.

Well lucky for me, my caravan of "wiper-snapers" can't afford those expensive tow'n toys. So we should be there, camp set-up and playing in the rocks before you get there, we'll leave a light on and few cold ones on chill for ya.
