This has been the busiest year of my life and it gets worse every day.
But I will be there, hopefully my junk will run longer than it did last year.

Good times
Great event guys. I enjoyed getting to meet everyone.
Everyone was super nice EXCEPT for one person who will remain nameless. Not at all what I was expecting. Life is too short to be a dick.
My wife and I had a good time and we plan to start riding alot more.
April...
EXACTLY what I was looking for. I figured somebody had replaced both and had a good used one laying around.
Makes me feel better. I had some bad luck two days before this event last year.
Thanks alot guys.

This is posted on the SCC questions and chat.
Looks like my CLUTCH master cylinder may be losing fluid. I've called around and nobody can have one until Friday.
Can anybody get a rebuild kit for a 1976 FJ40, or have a spare just in case.
Give me a call, I'll keep looking up this...
Clutch Master Cylinder
My clutch master cylinder (1976 FJ40) is leaking (slowly) but it's losing fluid. I just noticed it was low, but I can't see where it's going. It has a new slave cylinder.
I've called around and nobody can have one here until Friday. Anybody got a spare, just in...
Kids
It sounds like the kids at this event are going to get real educated this weekend.
I'm ready to go.
I've talked to a few folks and they said we might want to hit the 160 loop on Friday and progress to harder stuff on Saturday. I want to be able to ride Saturday, so I may not get...
Help
If I wasn't working on my junk until the last minute, I could help.
However, my rig may fall apart backing it off the trailer. So I will probably have plenty of time to help this weekend. Bring the parts, and we should be able to get it done.

Wrenching
I'm waiting on my new power steering pump.
Ordered from the manufacturer 9/25/06 shipped 10/3/06. :mad:
"Scheduled" delivery for tomorrow.
But, I still need to finish up roll cage, finish tie into frame, install line lock, gather up tools and spare parts.
Oh yeah...
Nothing
I have nothing to add to this thread. Just wanted to say that I'M READY FOR GREY ROCK. Can't wait to meet everyone.
BTW, If we have any major catastrophies, I only live about an hour away. Looking forward to it guys.

Girls
My wife will be there part of the time. She will not be camping, but will probably ride at least one day.
She had wanted me to ask if everyone was bringing their women folk. She didn't want me to be labeled "the wife bringer"

Spare Tire
Sweet, I've got a spare after all.
No mud, I was hoping somebody might get a little tipsy and get their truck dirty.
Looking forward to it guys.

Line Lock
A line lock is easy enough, it's just that it has to have power to stay on. I didn't figure that would be good enough. It actually should be mechanical to be real safe, but my cruiser has not had one for over 17 years now. I could care less one way or the other. I'll get one on...
Parking Brakes
I've got 4 wheel disc brakes, just no parking brakes. If I have to, I will splice in a ball valve into the front brake lines.
Also, I had wheels built with 3" backspacing to run 15" wheels on my front axle. I need another wheel and a 44 inch bogger :mad: I'm might have...
Tech Inspection
How strict is the vehicle inspection. I have no parking brake or spare tire.
I need a parking brake, I just have not decided how to go about it.

I'm there
I will definately be there this year. My cruiser was in a million pieces this time last year.
It's out of the shop with it's new 5.13's and half wore out 44's.

I have not been
I have a buddy that has been. www.nocrybabies4x4.com went down there a few weeks back. They said it will be real good with some more work/trails/etc.
You can click on trails and there are two sets of pictures from March 18th.
My buddy "Big Lunch" has a trail named...
I'm not going either now.
I will definately be there in October. I had hoped to make it last year, but didn't have enough time to finish my Cruiser.
