It's a long haul Rick, but it would be great to have you wheelin in Texas with us.
The weekend before last, the wife and I drove out to Tucson for a funeral and then back through Albuquerque to pickup one of my daughters. What a long trip. I think the wife is getting sick of the long trips.

There are places for campers and RV's. Most are up near the top at the office.

 

[Gofast]

I'll be there......! Yes, really !!!!!!

I borrowed a trailer today, so I plan on towing out Sat. Morning and running around for the day. I pick my truck up tomorrow, so unless I break it between Tuesday and Sat Morning I'll be there.

Oh my lordy, Rob is it true. I just had a friend of mine picking up some things from Unique Concepts and he said it was done. Glad you can finally make it out.
If your trailer falls through there is a man at 380 and 75 that rents them. 35.00 a day.

I live right up the road from that place.

 

[Trckmagik]

Unique Concepts did my solid axle conversion on my daily driver and they also just installed a 5.0 Mustang Motor in Robs Explorer. They will also be doing a full Exo Cage on my trail explorer.
So many things needed and so little money to finish them all at once.

 

[Trckmagik]

Whom all will be there Friday night? We are leaving Dallas at 5ish on friday. We are staying at the Gilmer Inn. Just wanted to see whom might want to hang for a bit.

 

[Msupertek]

Well, I would go Friday but my wife is already thinking of killing me for going without her on Sat and Sun. She is still healing from the baby! So where are we gonna meet on Saturday morning????

(just in case anyone forgot I will be leaving Saturday at yes this is correct beyond a doubt at no not pm but am 5 AM IN THE MORNING FROM ARLINGTON!

By the way, it would definitely be kewl to see ya out there RICK. My X got bigger since ya seen it last during the AZ run and I have a true locker in front now not a limited slip.

In the tradition of Explorer Meets, I think we should have a drivers meeting at 9am.
And I think at the front, near the office, would be the best for everyone to find.

 

[Michael]

Randall and I will be there Fri nite. We are going to leave houston ~2pm and should get in 7-7:30.

 

[swak6287]

msupertek, i will be in dallas..rockwall....not familiar with the exits on I20 heading towards Louisiana, any exit that i can wait to hook up with the convoy????
worst comes to worst, i meet up at your place. but kinda pointless for me to drive all the way to arlingotn and drive back towards dallas again.
i am heading out with u then on saturday morning, along with your jeep buddies. i might be on my 33s then too. heheh. we will see tomorrow. 33s on 3.55 gears must really suck. running it on 15x7 stock rims. scary eh...i am .

 

[Trckmagik]

John, That sounds like a great idea. Those of you whom will be at the hotel friday night (Gilmer Inn) Lets hook up and have a couple of beers Then we can meet everyone at the front gate at 9:00 A.M on Saturday morning.

I just replaced the worn out leaf springs on my white trail explorer with the ones that came on my Sport Trac and got a full 1.5" out of them. My old ones were 11 years old and sagging bad. So I am ready to :roll:

 

[swak6287]

heard it is gonna rain this week. hope that would not ruin the trip. i dont like mud. 1wd dont like mud.

 

[AspenX]

Got Room for one more!!!

hink This is looking like a party I'd hate to miss. I think Aspen can wait a couple of days. I have to test my new used 31s to make sure they are safe to drive to Colorado. David

If anyone doesn't want to leave at 5AM on Saturday morning, the Xterra guys are meeting at the Wal-Mart in Garland. Let me know if anyone will meet us there so we don't leave without you.

 

[Gofast]

Convoy....

I would like to convoy out there with the later morning group. What time are you meeting at Wal-Mart? IS there only one Wal-Mart in Garland?

Thanks Rob
