Well, the rig seems to be about ready for the 'con. Just re-checked my whole front end, greased everything, checked torque on a bunch of fasteners and checked most of the fluids. I'm even about half packed. I also took the rig out for a wide-open throttle flogging on a back road. All systems appear to be "go".
Now I just need to get through the work day tomorrow (telecommuting) and hit the road in the afternoon/evening. I'm still planning on a Friday morning arrival at Loon Lake. Probably won't get out of Livermore tomorrow until 7 or 8pm. I can't wait!
Me and my bro thrashed on the pig all day today. Went thru the valves again and re assembled the motor. Covert came over and helped with the final details and....... It goes sideways into 2nd gear.... on 40's. Wait till it gets the GT 40 and 5.13's. It's left me with perma grin.
Leavin around 10 to 12 on Thurs.....

Holy crap! Sideways in 2nd gear on 40s is nuts! Glad to hear its running so well... See you up there.

Glad I'm not the only one who's in a last minute thrash to get ready. Seems to go that way no matter how well you try and plan ahead!
If anyone has an iPod or mp3 player they can use my truck for some BBQ music. I'm sure most will not like all my music, but I do have some stuff that the group cam agree on.

Everything I didn't forget is loaded and we are heading out the door. We will be staying somewhere around Loon tonight and meeting the group tomorrow morning around 8-9 am.
69, 342 EFI, C4, NP203, D20, 4.5" SL, 2" BL, 4.88 9" 35 spline ARB, 4.88 HP D44, WAH, ARB, CTM's, front disc , 37 x 14.50 Toyo MT, Ram Assist, and rear 4-link
I'm just about on the road myself. To quote Highlander, everything I didn't forget is loaded up and surprisingly it's taking up less space than expected. I guess I'm getting better at packing and taking only what's needed... or at least that's the theory.
I will be leaving Elk Grove early tomorrow morning (unless we get a wild hair and drive up to Loon this evening - doubtful though). I will be joining the 8am-9am crowd so be on the lookout for my rig. It's easy to spot... Sounds like we've got a decent crew headed in tomorrow morning, which is good - the more spotters the better.
Okay, looks like I'm headed in on my own. I'm going to be leaving EG @ 5 or 6 tomorrow and will hopefully make it to bucks Friday night. Probably just an over nighter for me though...
I hope to be at loon at 8-830am, see you there. Ch 5 on the CB
Yes, It's a Jeep, Can't we all just get along?
35s,44s locked,102:1 blah, blah, blah. I'll upgrade whatever breaks next, something will, I am sure, hopefully it's something cheap.
