You don't want to roll in there with "I HATE REDNECKS" on your windshield.Besides that you should be just fine.

 

[WellsLaw]

Tell you what I'll just bring along my bloodhound and my fishing gear and my Everglades outfits ... I'll fit the part ... country boy at heart.

 

[JYoung]

Don't forget your REDMAN.Then we won't be able to tell you apart from everyone else.

 

[WellsLaw]

Hey I can still fit a pinch between my cheek and gums ... unless the mouth cancer has grown a bit more since the last time I chewed ...

Just a scheduling thing -- I am beginning (and now preparing) a 3 month federal trial in palm beach county beginning April 2d ... I may become quite unavailable at that time (april through june) ... just a note in case you think I disappeared, I'll be quite busy defending the unjustly accused

 

[FMExplorer]

Ok guys,
How about the 31st?
Bobby can relax one last time before going into court for the forseeable future...
I can get the time off...
Hank Grimmick (from the board) will be back from Finland and can join us...

What do you think???

Jon

 

[WellsLaw]

Okay, where is Auburndale????

Maybe I can pull off going and then heading over the Palm Beach to start trial Monday the 2nd ....

Maybe .... and I will try ...

 

[mdrut]

It's on..31st of march..Auburndale is between Orlando and Tampa, just off I-4..4 hr ride for Bobby, 2 1/2 hr ride for Jon, 1 1/2 for me and 45 min for Jason..I'm going to make it a family weekend thing. Theres a local park there called Cypress Gardens that we haven't been to in years.(have a web site) The area is not that "country". If any of you would likee to join in just let me know..Figure 200 to 400 for the weekend w/family of four..

 

[JYoung]

The 31st will work for me.

 

[FMExplorer]

Cool!
We have our 1st official FL outing - and in some soupy slop too! I'll cut out of work early Satruday to make it there by 6 - head out Sunday morning. I think I'll get the rest of the little things done to the truck now. How many other FL explorers are there? Wouldn't mind having a decent showing. Who's the guy from Gainsville? Jason, do you remember his name?

Jon

 

[mdrut]

I'm on it..Have some of the Fl. members saved. FLORIDA members check your Private Messages..Anybody else that is going to be in the area the weekend of 3/31 is welcome to join us..It is only a 4 hr. ride from S.GA. Be more than happy to give directions and area info..

 

[JYoung]

I'm not sure.I did send an email to Big poppa I think he lives in st. pete or some where over there.I have a couple of people that might make it.They don't own explorers.More the merrier

 

[FMExplorer]

Jason,
Big Poppa is the Gator I was referring to. I know there are others too. I'll see if I can get a few others together for the trip as well. I can barely contain the excitement... (too bad there isn't a font that shakes like Beavus and Butthead! )

Cya guys

DAMN...Got what I thought was the rest of my 2" lift today..Missing a bushing..Called them, out of stock..Drop shipping it from the factory..DAMN..Keep your fingers crossed..I e-mailed a couple more..Maybe we will get a response..

 

[JYoung]

mdrut,
What kind of lift did you get.

 

[mdrut]

2" Sky Jacker..Hate to run it out of camber..2" body is installed..Hope to have the skyjacker and 31's on by the 31st..Wish me luck..

 

[FMExplorer]

er... Good luck!

Mike - you should be fine with 31's and 2" bl if you can't get the suspension done by then. I am putting of my lift until April/May because I want to get a few runs in prior to taking it off the road for a couple of weeks (not to mention I want to do it all at once - I'm so impatient!)

Hope you are able to get it down!

Jon

 

[JYoung]

You should have no problem fitting the 31's with 2"b/l.I had 33's with 3"b/l.The 33's are still setting behind my shed.

If you what to see richloam.Go to www.suncoastflatlaners.com and look at whats new to see pics.

 

[FMExplorer]

Looks like they had a good run in the Everglades too!

Jason - do you know these guys at all? They're from your neck of teh woods I see.

Jon

 

[JYoung]

No I don't know them.A friend told me they saw there web site on that sublime green bronco.It's up for sale by his house.

 

[Cameron]

I just wanted to chime in and wish you guys luck with your Florida Explorer club!

Peace
