Mike,
I have a site with one tent on it - you are welcome to some space.
one of my boy's ( 18 years old ) is coming with me for sure - maybe the 19 year old too. either way I have you a space !
Still looks like a good crowd - I am glad that Z-man and Bratik is going to show ! I will not be there until dark Friday - 2.5 hour drive and Andrew can not miss any more school - off the bus at 4:00 and we are rolling for Murphy. My cell phone number is 865-659-7804

It will be great to see everyone again ! OH I don't plan to leave until late Sunday - 2 days of wheeling anyway

Austin what the hell did you do to those poor shocks??????
Are you talking about the factory top plate that has the 3 studs in it on top of the coil pack? Could you not get the 14mm bolts off the top because PB blaster works all the time?
BTW I have 4 extras.

Austin, just throw in your old lift set-up you still have that don't you? I'm praying for you to get things together, wish I could be down there to help turn a wrench. Also check your PMs, I need your cell # so I can find the cabin when we get in. We should be getting in about the same time. Austin sorry to hear about everyone bailing on you for this weekend, my buddy and I will crash at the cabin with ya, and Joe said he would be up for staying in the cabin, pending how they feel about dogs, are you bringing Nala(sp)?


I'm headed to Goldsboro tomorrow to get my sliders put on by Joe, and then back home, off to work, and a late night CB install and e-locker mod. Oh how wonderful it will be to work in the cold and dark. Knocking on wood, nothing like that will have to be done at Tellico. Can't wait to see everyone there.

I'm up for standing around the fire and having a bitch and moan fest, I have plenty of that to share.

They are adjustable coilovers and the sleeve that fits onto the shock rusted itself to the shock. I also took my front sway bar off because I broke one of the end links or whatever they are called. That would explain the horrid pull to the right under braking!! or.. I hope thats what it is

Guys headed through asheville...
What if we all met up at the fudruckers in asheville for lunch before heading out? Its a good meeting place because there is tons of parking, its right off hiway 240 so its not really out of the way and it will help break up the drive for us that have driven 4.5 hrs already Then with full bellies we can head for the hills. I know you already discussed this a little but would 12:30-1 be too late? I'm really going to try to leave at 8 but there are always those things you think of as your walking out the door, or in my case you think of after you have pulled out of the gate :pat: I will make a map for those that haven't been to asheville. Everyone is going to be coming from 40 correct? I think I'm the only one coming from the 26 side.

What is 'ol stegal up to? I haven't talked to him in a few days either, I assume he isn't going to make it either?

Scott,
I'll pm it asap. I think dogs are fine, but I will have to charge more because they will definately charge me more. I remember looking into it because at the time I still had nali* but... she was taken from me on my 21st b.day so there will be plenty of room for the hounds.

Jon,
You guys are coming up through asheville also correct? Thats the way it is showing us to go coming up 26... either way it shouldn't add much time if you do come, and since you two are both "cough" self employed "cough" you should be able to make it to lunch right?

For you n00bs...
The crawford's map is NOT TO SCALE. Maybe its just my habit of not trusting my sence of direction (which is not bad at all, I just don't trust it) and I actually turned around because I thought I had gone too far, that is til I saw 4 huge CJs headed up the other direction. Then I figured it had to be right. Just thought I would warn thee who haven't embarked upon the hills of tellico... oooor something :pat:

I have my stock end links in Houston if you need one. I could have my wife ship it to you if you want.

haha,
already got another one $90!! Thanks though, I also broke one of the supports off last night because it was too much of a pita and the nut was just not moving (the one by the header so that was a big enough pain as it is. Oh well... who needs a swaybar anway Thanks for the offer!

I'll have the map up asap.

you can find out by getting directions say from asheville to your house, then we can meet at the exit. That is, if you want to. I can call you when I'm getting close and you can come out and meet up with us. Thats how I found all the map.




edit:
OOOh, i see... so you'll just come out on patton ave which turns into 240. Need me to add that to the map?

Well, it takes 2-2.5 hrs from asheville, it only takes me 4-4.5 hrs to get to asheville.

It takes me 4.5hrs to get to atlanta, and atleast 2.5 from atlanta (correct me if i'm wrong atlanta folk). Its just more of a straght shot to asheville than atlanta. When I looked for directions to murphy it said 6hrs and 50min or so, when i put in tellico, it said 6.5 and put me through asheville. Which is fine with me because I have been this way before and it will be easier for me which will make it even quicker. Then I also get a chance to meet up with everyone and caravan, so why not?

26 dead ends into 240/patton ave. it will be a left turn onto patton and you pass a bunch of comercial area and cross over a bridge, once over the bridge that is where the map picks up and you will see the onramp for my 26 on your right, there are like 6 lanes, stay in the middle and shoot for 240. stay in the right lane and you will see the meromin exit then onramp and the charlotte offramp is connected to the meromin off ramp. Then you make a left at the light and you go through one light and then at the next light you will see fuddruckers on your left
