Alcohol flowing with people that aren't all my age, this will be a first, I can't wait. If things do go down the way keisur sees it, then we need to add a gag real to the DVD somewhere.

RTdawgs, if I can make this trip I know you can, I don't even have my truck yet, it won't be ready until late next week. . Unless it's a situation with a girlfriend I don't want to hear any excueses, I carry 18 credit hours, and 35-40hr work weeks, it can be done.

Just kidding of course RTdawgs, hope to see you there, I have always admired your rig since I first found YT.

I think it is a blue wire on the locker mod. You cut it and ground it and it's done.
For the 2wd lo mod you disconnect the blue connecter that is located next to the transfer case and gear shifter on the drivers side. Tape it off and your good to go lo.

Or, when swapping in an e-locker, get the inchworm wiring kit and turn on the locker in any mode of 2wd or 4wd. That's what I did.

First off, we're about the same age and i had a blast at the SE4RJ with these guys, most of them act their shoe size anyways!

Secondly, I too am i full-time student. I study very hard and spend lots of time outside the classroom with studying and extra-cirriculars. But the main problem is that i dont have a place to work on my 4R. I park in a 5-story parking deck 2 blocks from my apartment. I have no floor jack nor my full Craftsman mechanics set. I am trying to organize a wrench-a-thon with my TTORA GA buddies, but i dont have any free weekends before this trip:
10/16-10/17 - Vandy Game, Study for exams i have on monday/tues
10/23-10/24 - Oktoberfest Datenight in Helen, GA and Brooks & Dunn partybus/concert sunday night in Atlanta, GA
10/28-11/1 - Ill be in St Simons Island, GA and Jacksonville, FL for the UGA v. FL game.
11/5-11/7 IS THE EVENT!!!!

where's my time? im hoping i can free up a long afternoon during the week to get things done.

I wished we lived closer together we could wrench together and get both our rigs ready. I've got no free weekends up until that trip, I may be able to pull one Sunday off to get over to Raleigh to get my sliders from Jason and maybe get him to give me a hand on the CB?

I just really want to see everyone on the list make it to the trails, it would be great to see this many Toys out on the trails, I missed the SE4RJ and want to make up for missing everyone the first time around.

I figured we all act our shoe size when were out on the trails, it's a great equalizer. Talking to Wabbit on AIM has shown me how all it takes is a common ground(4Runners, and wheel'n) to make a friendship.

i know how you feel ryan, between taking a full load at school working 40+ hours over 6 days each week it doesn't leave much time for anything else, factor in a pregnant wife and married life and it leaves no time. i still have the swaybar discos i bought from brian over a month ago sitting in my garage and a 2" bodylift and CB on the way that i need to get installed before the trip. now this week i have to go for interviews with Trading Spaces (my best friend's wife signed us up). it just crazy, 2 months ago i couldn't stand the wait until november, now it seems too close.

austin, is there any room in that cabin? or does anyone have room for a tent on their site? i don't mind pitching in just didn't see a point in getting another one if there is room for my friend and i to fit at an exsisting site.

if you find yourself back out towards home we can work on them at my dad's garage, everything you can imagine and more! we may be able to enlist his help if he isn't sleeping in the woods (hunting to most people).

Justin,
Sure thing, your welcome at the cabin! I'm charging all my friends $20 because its $10/person plus a good bit more. I also had to get the cabin for 3 nights but, if you don't mind staying up kinda late your welcome to stay at the cabin. There most likely won't be bed space so bring a sleeping pad but, you never know with college students... They have a way of backing out last minute. We can play it by ear... I think we will be sleeping where we fall, but who knows

Ryan, your going to be in st. simons?? what are you doing down there?? I lived there for 4 years and its only an hour away from here. I need to take another trip down there to see some old friends... I also don't think scott was complaining about the fact that he was going to be drinking with hot young girls, I think he was just stating that its been a while since he has done that ( just kidd'n buddy)

I can't wait to see what J ends up doing after a few beers... Man, I hope nobody passes out erly... we have been bad with that lately...

pooor, poor matt _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ The sad thing is that Robin wasn't passed out for this...

if the wrench a thon isn't too big a drive from where I'm at I'll come over. I'm going to Houston tomorrow and be back in a week so I can pick up any of my tools you might need for the job and bring them back, including my floor jack and stands and stuff.


Either way, I'd come over to lend a hand tools needed or not. just let me know before a week from tomorrow so I can grab the stuff before I leave the house in Houston to come back.

Talking Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

I don't have time to get my truck ready. I've got to go watch football games and play! I am a college student and I work a little bit too. My social life just keeps me so weighted down. I don't have any tools either cause I live in an apartment and my landlord would give me a spanking if I got motor oil on the driveway.



You guys crack me up! Enjoy college life...you only get busier!

See you there!

Lighten up Wabbit - these boys just think that they are ready - wait until real life slaps the crap out of them !

They are not battle tested like us old guy's

Ordered the RB 1" body lift yesterday - I want to install the body lift before mounting the sliders. I may run Tellico without the sliders AGAIN

EASY NOW!!!

I'm in the " real " world and the " fantasy world ". I work my butt off whenever I can... AND I live w/ two college students... Sad thing is... I think I go out drinking more than they do...

Jeremy usually makes up for it all in one night tho... ha ha ha....

Scott and I are actually probably pretty even...

Austin, I'm still looking into that part for you. I'm actually thinking I'll make it while I'm in Houston next week. either way, I'll let you know. we didn't have the right size scrap here at the plant so I'd have to order it. I have material in Houston though.

I might bring some friends down and join you at brogens if you don't mind. It would be nice to finally meet you, its kind-of weird ive been to your house and I haven't even met you . You can also see your ol' wheels. Did you ever get different wheels? What is the exact day of the game? Ive been wanting to take some friends down there for a while now... Sucks its starting to get too cold for the beach but I'll call my friends that live there and see if we could make a weekend out of it or if it will just be a day/night trip. They just moved into a new house so I don't know how much room they have now.
