Speaking of that. What time is everyone planning on leaving? We are going to try to leave around noon and should be there around 5 or so.

 

I'm shoot fo before then, it's about a 5 hour drive for me. I'm just hoping the gas prices stop going up, they might actually stop me from making this trip. But my plan is to skip classes and leave around 9 or so, putting Rob and I there around 1-2. Well just lounge around the cabin until everyone gets there and we'll make a night run to Fains Ford and back.

 

Oh come on man you gotta go. You promised you would get me through with little to no damage. LOL Sounds good. I tried to leave that early but the other guys can only take off for half day instead of a whole day.

 

I plan on being there mid morning on Friday. Head out Sunday afternoon sometime. Tyler has school Monday morning. That give us 2 full days of trial time total.

 

Yup with being so close to the trails I won't think it's so dreadful to squeez in a late Friday or early Sunday like I have in the past when I stay at Crafords.

I'll do my best to be there, I might be bringing my dad as my road and trail buddy, he's always watched me work ont he truck and seen the pictures but has never actually been with me, so this might be a good chance for some bonding since my girl and best bud have jumped ship.

 

Ryker you wanna meet like mid point somewhere? oh nm you are leaving in the morning on friday. well.. By then you will have been up near me. im leaving around 12:40ish right off the bat. gonna pack thurs night

 

Sounds like a great idea Scott. My dad watched and helped me build my old first gen 4Runner but unfortunately was never able to go wheeling with me due to losing the fight with cancer three years ago. He was truly my best friend.

 

Update as you will.

 

Last time, I left home at around midnight Thursday night & got to Crawford's about 7am Fri. It's about a 6-7 hour trip for me from here, so I plan on leaving about the same time (no traffic), that way I can get a good 3 hour power nap when I get there Friday morning & wheel Friday afternoon & evening. If you want to meet up that early it's fine with me. I should be passing through the upstate around 3am or so...

 

That's what I'm trying to avoid, the lost oppertunities. Sorry about your dad, but that makes me feel lucky to still have mine around, so thanks for that. It's gonna take alot to keep me from being there, Life's trying to make it impossible, with moving the Monday I get back, rising gas prices, and the conflicting school sechdual, but I NEED THIS.

 

Stump, if anything happens with you not making it let me know & I'll cover all the cabin expenses ok? You arranged this & I don't want you to take a loss. If you want to PM me & we'll talk more.

 

I am truly sorry to hear about your loss.
My mom's has been in remission for 4 years & I am grateful for every day.

Ryker, thanks for the offer bro, but it's gonna take an minor act of god to keep me from coming. Plus if something like that does happen then I would just ask that everyone Pay Pal me their portion of the cabin and I'll pay mine desipte not being there. Neither one of us should have to get stuck with the full cost, thanks for looking out like that.

 

WOW, you guys really look out for each other and I think that is great! Hey is Rob still coming haven't seen him on in awhile? I need to PM him and ask him a few questions about his LC coil install before I tackle mine next week.

 

Jason B needs to get on AIM so I can actually order my bumper and lift lol bout to order sliders in a bit

 

Wow your really cutting it close. Everyone is doing those last minute mods, hopefully Bud will have my new bracket too me soon so I don't have to be on the last minute grind.

Yeah I talked to Rob a bit this weekend, he just got his new 305s installed this weekend, and he's still planning on coming. If we talk again, I'll let him know your looking for some pointers. PM me maybe I can help, I've done at least 5-6 lift installs, 5 of which were all different. I walked Rob through all his hang ups, we'll see what I can do.

 

I think im gonna get my locker and lift installed pro since I dont have time and do the bumper/slider install myself

 

PM sent to you and Rob! HELP

 

I am sure you will need the sliders.
