I'm going to make it, but my truck will not. :( Shipping just got outrageous with diesel prices right now.
I may be thumbing rides throughout the event though I'm riding with the fj cruisers to start with. First Rubicon though....and that's exciting in itself. I feel fortunate just to be able to fly out and ride along. __________________ 78FJ40 w/13BT diesel (BIESEL),66FJ45(MARMUT), 13BT install thread www.importpurist.com "Much like a cat or hot buttered toast, the correct side will always try to land down.

Get to Tahoma:
Map of Tahoma, CA by MapQuest and there's road signs showing the prefered path. You should see rigs at observation point by about 8am through mid day anyway. |

Pack'n my FJC tonight for morning departure tomorrow. Hope to make into Shingle Springs by Sunday night so I can meet with the Inchworm guys Monday morning for a modification or two before meeting up with my group on Wed noon.
Can't wait to meet everyone and visit a region with my daughters that we haven't seen for over 10 years. This is going to be an epic trip for us, one which I hope makes a positive and permanent impression on my girls, making them as dedicated to being in the outdoors as I am... __________________ '07 FJ Cruiser Sun Fusion 4X4 AT, ATRAC Hack'd Demello Front & Rear Bumper w/Warn M8000 Demello Sliders, Bud's full set Inchworm Lefty, ARB front locker OME kit 886/140 front, 895/N17e rear Super Swamper SSR 35/10.5/16's Train Hard, Rest Harder |

Finished the knuckle rebuild, wheel bearings, Diamond wide kit and a few other little things today. Took it out for a spin and amazingly it all stayed together.
Still need to change the diff fluid, set the swr on the CB, get some more spare parts, shop, pack, drive and wheel. Looking forward to hitting the trail SOON!

NOTE: As for Camp Fires, Maybe Depends upon the Weater, No Wind and the Caretaker in the Springs, Bring propane stoves and BBQ's, If your BBQing with charcoal check with Tony or the Caretaker First,

If it comes down to a wrestling match (and it always does), my money is on FryDaddy - one of the those guys. Can you bring him Paul?
