We'll be coming from Greenback/elkhorn area. So we can either take 80 to 50 or i can take greenback to hazel to 50 or go all the way to folsom and turn onto E. bidwell street... haha

Were pretty familiar with how to get to E. Bidwell street. We did a few jobs, so matt and i have taken that route many times.

Well at least you won't have to miss out on the video from your proper web wheeling position. We all plan on meeting you next year if not sooner mate. Now get that front D-shaft made so you can enjoy the hell out of your new SAS.

Honestly though, should we assign chaperones or start giving out phone numbers that way no one gets left behind? lol
I offered my number to whom ever PM's me for it.

I do not know if everyone has a CB either, but I'm thinking channel 20 is a good channel as it is in the middle of the range. When I'm up there I will be listening on the CB for chatter as you all show up a the Reservoir.

SWR was the reason I chose channel 20. thought it might work out best for everyone, tuned or not.

chris when are you heading up ?
I'll be heading up after work on Friday at about 5.

Replacing my cv boot didn't go super smooth. Bolts to attach it to the axle were destroyed on the threads when I took off the nuts and noticed the cb boot on the outside was also ripped and my grease is black sludge from dirt. Paying dealer premium prices but they get me the parts by the next day. So I should have all week and this weekend to get the front axle back in.

Could you do me a huge favor and take a picture of the back of the spindle where the axle bolts up?

Im excited to meet all you who I havent already met.

Well lets see...I got a bad oil leak, my swing out broke, which is hopefully fixed for now as of 2 hours ago, needs an alignment and wheel spacers after my new lift, its not even driveable because of it, and now my ipod wont play in the stereo!

that does sound like some bad luck. Your not the only one though. I may end up going with out a spare tire. tirerack has the km2 on back order. As much as Im sure I won't need the spare. It is always a really good idea to carry one.
