Gonna take my 36's to work with me on Wednesday to *try* and get them mounted, and the trans mount & polishing will be a Thursday night deal since I still have to get the last room in the house put away in order to have maximum sleeping space. Speaking of, please bring a towel (for showering) and an inflatable mattress if you have one- we have have two twin inflatables, one queen size bed and a full size pull out plus 3 sleeping bags and a billion blankets/pillows, but extras would be a good thing.
dont worry we expect you to be late because your doin all the stuff to the rig you didnt do in the last 6 months....

Does anyone need/want a Gray full length console for their Ex? Lid isn't that great, I'll bring it if anyone wants it.

Painted half the bondo spots last night at midnight than brought her in for an alignment this morning. Just have to do a full detailing and unbend the front hitch from the red truck. Does any one have an extra inner passenger side axle shaft for a first gen?

I hear ya Tim, I said I was going to clean the interior last night and ended up putting a 3rd coat of sealer on it. So ready to see everyone!

(Original Poster)
I spray painted my face flat black by accident, does that count? Morgan's jealous of all the time I've been putting into getting Skunk ready for wheeling, cuz tonight he started breaking parts and acting up I'll beat the attitude out of him tomorrow.

Just so you guys are prepared, it's gonna be a very full house here Saturday night. Five, Don & Steph have graciously volunteered to camp in the back yard, and if anyone else wants to do the same, let me know. I tried to arrange it so 2 of the other 3 couples coming will get a bedroom each but one couple's gonna have to tolerate the pull-out in the living room with everyone else. So don't be shy, lol. Aside from that, the garage is mostly ready to go if anyone needs a last minute repair before wheeling.

I plan on getting to the show around noon- noonthirty, if anyone needs my cell let me know and I'll PM you!

So what you are saying is at 11:45 you are going to decide to change your shocks even though you dont need to. Then something wil go horribly wrong somehow and you will be there at 9 pm ?

Need the pirate 4x4 flipoff smiley
