I'll be driving my Camry. Happy to bring parts to Roundup for folks. Save on shipping of big items.

Last day to orders Monday.

:cheers:

Looks like we'll have a obstacle to drive over when we're in the main camp area.

You got my dipstick on the parts list?
 
One stationwagon owner calling another gay. LoL
 
I don't think there is anything ghey about this Camry whatsoever.

It fits in fine with any Toyota wagon....

You should put a lowering kit on it.
 
got home @ 5pm, 650 miles & 11 hours door to door.

Cottonland represented well. @Bossman has his raffle grove back , scoring a Yeti.

Great time. MY truck did well. Only broke the throttle cable at firewall. Mike Costello and @fountainhead patched me up.
K2 is a bad ass place to wheel. Granite is crazy. Pics to follow...
 
Awesome trip!

@jrob, thanks for helping me get my pile back together at the last minute and also for hauling it out there and back.

Only issue I had was a front shackle inversion (first time that's ever happened). That pile held up to some decent abuse...I'm actually shocked it didn't fall completely apart.

Wheeled a lot, laughed a lot, drank a few beers, and had an all around great time with an outstanding bunch of people.
 
Oh, and for the record, my hope for each of you is that one day you get the opportunity to witness @BMThiker wheel his FJ Cruiser. That crazy SOB has grapefruit sized balls. They drove it from ATL, wheeled the piss out of it, knowing they had to drive it back, and peeled out yesterday...after replacing the rear diff in camp, as I understand it.

So cool.
 
And he drives digdug daily to boot. :steer:

I just want to thank all y'all for letting the oddball tag along with all the big boy trucks. This was certainly one of the most memorable Round Ups I've attended. Saw a lot more trails than I have in the past and running BFG KO2's was not an issue at all. Gotta give props to @jrob @Bodean @Fireman and @fountainhead for some great spotting. Thanks to @Bossman for a few assists when I got turtled. It may be time to consider the tummy tuck on Dig-Dug.

What started as a slow diff leak at the beginning of the week became a much larger one by the end. On Sunday morning as everyone was rolling out for home I removed the third member next to the pavilion with @beno 's help. I've done this 3-4 times, so I knew the tear down procedure well. We removed the chunk, cleaned both mating surfaces, removed the 2 lowest studs (one broken, one stripped) and replaced them. Gotta thank @k9crazy, @bkcruiser and @Clutchee for the drill and extractor bits we used. And @orangefj45 for the handful of studs. Several others stopped by to check on us, but I was confident everything was progressing well.

We reinstalled the third with red FIPG, put both axle shafts back into place and all the other reassembly stuff as the FIPG was curing. Took a quick shower (the hottest water all week) and then filled the diff with fluid. I hooked up the trailer and started to turn out when I realized the rear was locked, even though we were in 2WD. I remembered that this happened once before and it was because the e-locker shift collar had engaged as we were handling the chunk. Quickly removed the e-locker actuator motor, synced the button on the dash with the position of the collar and the pinion on the actuator. Drove around the parking lot and it released. We locked the park gate behind us.

Rolled out of K2 at 2pm headed for the 073. After letting the GPS catch up with us (Mason County is dry Verizon territory) we knew landing in Jackson was not likely (nor considerate to @wct49 and @Denmomdeb). We made our way east and got to Tyler, TX around 8:30pm (cruising at Beno speed). Grabbed a quick Chipotle dinner and powered on until we got to Shreveport at 11:30pm. Crashed at the Comfort Suites, drank a bottle of Tripel Karmaleit, showered again and slept like a baby.

Stole these pics from FB so their low res, but you get the idea.
