I am now thinking of trying to make it to this run. I am a little more then a half way done on my Monster. 98% of all parts are bought. It is mostly installation from here on out.

Glad to hear your truck did well Ron. I just ordered a custom Deaver spring pack yesterday, so I should have it installed by Truckhaven. I am pretty stoked, NO BLOCKS! ALL SPRING! 
I think we are doing shackle reversal and the pack will be 7 or 8 leaves...

Yes it was Brian Kennedy... Thanks John, I'm so bad with names.
Sean, Will that SOA give you 5" of lift? Right now I'm sprung under with 4" Superlift springs. Let me know how it works out and ride quality.
When does the signup sheet for the Dinner start?
Also, everyone try to remember to start saving firewood. Last year w/out Tom's taxes, and a few Christmas trees we may have not been warm enough. =)
BTW, I was visitor 2003 for our 2003 Truckhaven thread, thought I'd share that w/ everyone! I had nothing better to do.

My springs are already SOA since it is a Ranger. But I have a huge 4.5" lift block and AAL from the RCD kit. The front is super smooth, but in faster washes, the rear end bucks, even with a load. These springs will have a 500lb load capacity. That way I can still carry all the camping and recovery gear that I want to or have a 500lb toungue weight. Plus the flex and ride should be way better.

Hey Rick and Friends!
Just dropping a line to let you know that I'm considering coming out for T-Haven 2003. My Exploder is still Exploded up in Montana, and until I find out where my next duty station is going to be, I'm not going to move it. BUT, I would love to come out, bring some food, drink some beers (or Brian's rum), and see the gang. I'd bring out my stock Expedition, and it is not an off-road toy, so any wheel'n would be done as a co-pilot and spotter. I will register and pay my deposit. Can't wait to see you all!

Rick,
Just wondering if the deposit is still required for this trip? I remember seeing that you would be sending out an e-mail sometime in november letting us know where to send our money and since november is almost over I just figured I would see what was going on with the deposit. If anyone else has heard about the deposit please make a post with all the info you have. Can't wait to get out to t-haven.
