Park opens at nine. If we convoy, we can meet at the Union KY reststop (MM177) about 8.

I know a few of us will be towing, and technically should be on the "truck" side of the rest stop. But at 8 on a sunday, I really think meeting on the "car" side is a better plan.

elmer91 · 05-18-2013, 11:26 AM

I probably wont go on sunday. My brothers can only go on saturday, so we will probably go to 491 or somewhere. Unless my jeep holds up all day saturday, then i might go down there with you all.

Well damn. Hope you can make it!

(I'm leaving you under "maybe!"

JeffK5 · 05-18-2013, 12:23 PM

Thanks but I'm gonna have to miss this one. My ridding partner (son) decided to crash his 4wheeler and fracture both wrists.

Have fun.

WrenchMonkey · 05-18-2013, 12:43 PM

Oh damn, that sucks! Hopin for a full, fast recovery!

tjrider · 05-18-2013, 01:49 PM

well. Since I got a virgin wheel bringing his new rig out.(brian). We could just hit big rock...

underpowered · 05-18-2013, 03:09 PM

i'm for sure Out for DTOR on sunday, other things to do.

but for anyone interested in two smaller trips that weekend, i think there is a group of us heading to Possibly Haspin on saturday.

Yeah, we'll go easy on him. Any of the major climbs we usually turn around and come right back down. He can stick to the perimeter trail and main creek if he wants, and there's plenty to play on.

tjrider · 05-19-2013, 12:54 PM

let's do this thing! Beat it like a rented mule. Dtor sounds good to me. What time are we lookin to meet at the rest stop?

In other news, the XJ lines are finally in and bled. Hope to get a few days commuting on them to check, but I should be good to go!

cincygman · 05-19-2013, 08:16 PM

Well my new copilot (son-in-law) cant go cause the wife (my daughter) doesnt get off till 9:00 am. So I have an empty seat or two......

Yup. Lift and tires are on. New floors are in. Just need a front bumper and gas skid and he's good to go.

Tell him to just wheel the thing! Lets GO! He don't need no stink-n gas skid....

WrenchMonkey · 05-21-2013, 03:25 PM

I'da done the gas skid long before I did the floors.

Oh, that's right, I did!

<Edit> Tony texted me, guess he's out...

cincygman · 05-22-2013, 11:22 PM

Feeling ambitous, might try to get these mounted before Sunday

Sweet,It's been awhile....Guess the yota has a few more mods since we have wheeled last.

Gary,your rocker guards look good.

WrenchMonkey · 05-23-2013, 09:07 PM

Those rock rails do look good! I was feeling pretty accomplished with the laundry list of little stuff I got done (brake lines, rear window, bumper repair, turn signal and wiring...) but that's a lot more impressive! It's been a while since I got a big project done...
