See some of you in the morning! It's 10:30pm and I've got food to buy and a school project to finish.

Can't wait!

 

Everything is working out for me also. Got my t-case mount from Toyota today got my driveshaft on. All i have to do is bleed brakes, clutch, and put axleshafts in the front axle. We should be there tomorrow night.

 

That is awesome Greg, I can't belive you pulled it all together, can't wait to see ya pull up, we'll be sure to have a cold oen ready for ya. I think you win for the biggest last minute project rush.

 

Thanks, I'll take you up on that cold one for sure. See you tomorrow night sometime.

 

Just finished packing the trucks, Picking up the trailer in the morning, leaving around 1 so should see you guys between 8 and 9 tomorrow night. Bamachem, if you'll weld on my sliders that would be awesome. I'm not bringing the nice ones. just some steel bars that will work for the trip. See you guys tomorrow... well I guess today since its almost 1am.

We can get those sliders welded on no problem...heck, maybe we can get the old man to do it from Arizona.

Ernie and I are leaving tomorrow about 10 a.m., so we should be there before dark thirty.

See you guys tomorrow!

 

wow, Schafer himself welding sliders on my POS truck. sounds like Christmas morning.
see you guy tomorrow.

Mike

 

packed up and heading out

 

Same here, I will be leaving in about an hour or so....

Se you there!

 

Final packing, and strapping down, waiting on you and Rob, then we'll all be on our way in about an hour. See you guys in a few hours, hopefully catch up in Asheville, if not....I'll race you to Tellico.

Drive safe everyone, rather be talking with you than about you.

 

Picking up the t-shirts today, final packing, a spare part at the dealer and hitting the road by 10 a.m. with Ernie, Alyson and Trey.

Drive safe guys!

 

it's upside-down welding w/ flux. that's lots of molten spatter.

it's all YOU, STEVE! i'll let you handle it!

too bad steve will be on a plane in 2 hours and won't see this...


either way, one of the 3 of us will burn them on for ya.


i got all the groceries and beverages at the house, loaded up all the SE4RJ loot and my skid/belly pan that's still wrapped in cardboard. i packed the welder, helmet, gloves, tools, angle grinder, extra wheel, flapper, etc. that should do it for tools. i'll have to prime the skid/belly w/ some rustoleum and just put it on at crawford's in the morning. sucks to do it at the last minute, but that's life. i'm heading to the house at about 3 today to finish packing, then i'll pick the old man up at about quarter to five, head back to the house to get the accord (so he'll have a ride back to the airport on sunday), then we're heading out. we should be there at the cabin about 2 hours later, and then on to crawfords shortly after that. i'm thinking about 8 or so for arriving at crawfords.

had a little scare this morning though. i'm driving the runner to work - oh, by the way, it's raining here today and scheduled to rain/mist all day - and i pushed the button for AWD. got flashing lights. thought "no problem" and slid it into neutral on the trans. no dice. flashing light and a hard disconnet in the ADD. tried about 15 times on the way to the office this morning. finally, i pulled into the parking lot and tried it one more time while turning the front wheels back and forth and "CLINK!" - light comes on stead and all is good. tried out 4hi and 4lo and all is working now. it's only been driven maybe a few hundred miles in the last 3 months, and none in AWD, so i guess it's just a little "stiff" from not getting used. (note to self - drive the runner to the store once a week and put it in AWD when doing it)

 

Bring the good ones then, because they aren't coming off.

 

We'll need a leather welding jacket. Or you'll burn the crap out of your self.

I'll be at the airport in 30 minutes. We're 3 hours behind you. Which may be an issue, If I stay up to midnight, it's only 9 AM for me. We're on Pacific time now.

 

soon as Stump gets here Ill be out the door see yall there and drive safe!!

 

I'm locked and loaded, see yall this afternoon.

 

Leaving in 10 minutes. See ya'll there
