Anybody that is interested in our passion for 4wheeling is cool in my book. I never used to go on runs more than maybe once a year back when I was married. So if a gf or wife is cool with it, I say more power to ya'.

Well everybody keep their fingers crossed for me. I shipped my drive-shaft out to High Angle Driveline in Paradise CA this morning. I hope that leaves enough time to get it done & shipped back in time.

Ok well it's looking more like we'll have a good trun out so I'm not too worried about getting stuck with the cabin bill. As for newbies with wives and g/f's bring it on, I just love being out on the trails w/ anyone that enjoys and respects nature and can have FUN.
Bring whatcha got, and I'll do my best to make sure you don't break it.....to bad Then when you do you can ride with me and we'll all help fix your toy later.

One thing I do suggest is anyone with a brush gaurd, take it off and leave it at home, those things we'll be trashed in Tellico, especially now and they will only cause more damage after they're bent to hell. And of course I highly suggest sliders, it is your own truck though so I'm not gonna make a requirement of it. If you come down hard w/o sliders just bank on not opening that door, and a steep repair bill.

Depending on how busy Jess at H.A.D. is I should be ok. He should recieve it the 4th of Aug. & I will let him know about the run schedule. I replaced my starter, 30 splines are installed & spare steering parts on the way as well. I am so excited to get back up there.

I assume Scott you have already fully paid for the cabin since it is less than a month until you guys go? You'll love the cabin.

YEah Wabbit I booked it awhile back, the charge has already hit my card AND I'll be paying it off before the trip. So now it looks like I'll be able to break even with as many people saying their coming. Hopefully it doesn't end up like our usual trips where more than half bails a week before we leave.
Good glad to hear everyone is making preparations for the trip and is aware of precautions. It's really not that bad of a place if your just willing to listen and trust your spotters. I'm sure we'll all have a good time, now I just need to find a co-pilot, my girl ended up having to work and so did my boy with his tow rig Titan.

My school starts the 17th.. I prob cant skip out on classes friday but my last class I sure as hell can leave early from. reason is that if I skip these classes being the first day.. they are dropped.. but it only takes me prob a good 3.5 hours to get to Boone.
I assume murphy isnt too far away.?

Who doesn't like wittle Wabbits?

Nah, it would crawl on the hood now...and get the dent across.
Everyone wants me to give them the 37s...imagine that?
Gotta go R/R the bearings and non reusable parts on the 87 front end...got a bad wheel bearing.
And had to replace the battery on the wife's Sienna today too.
Carry on.

is it here highlands? if so its prob around an hour to hour and a half. I live in upstate corner of SC
yes I think Im closer then most.. highlands is 1 hour plus 5 minutes or so.. murphy should be an extra 40 or so minutes.
wont be a prob for me after school. I have a graphic design class from 12-1:50 and I can get out of that prob around like 12:50.. id be up there by 3 or 4 or so.
