Somebody is going to get hooked for GSMTR.

Metal Tech pallets arrived.

80 series sliders
40 front profile cage
40 tube doors
180 new orange Metal Tech pint glasses (you will be the first to get these)
Plus a bunch of other Metal Tech stuff.

Also have a 30 spline Long field super set from Bobby Long
A couple sets of M Dana 60 U joints
Some of his new knuckle wipers

Camel X sent a Hi-Lift, some compressors and a few repair kits.

TLC stepped up to the plate and sent a whole box of mags and stickers. Also have some other swag from them being delivered to the park next week. Have to say they have gone all out in making sure we are well taken care of.

Then we get to my office. Where there are way more boxes of stuff than I can shake a stick at.

Shane Walters at Metric TLC sent two sets of very cherry bench seat upholstery for a 40. This is the full set front and back.

JT's sent us a full Nitro Birfield Kit for a 40, 60 or 80 series.

CCOT sent a bezel and some other stuff.

+ there is a lot of flat stuff. (gift cards and discounts)

Kurt at Cruiser Outfitters
Borgeson
SOR
+ many others.

I have no idea how I'm going to fit all this in my 40 with a small trailer but it will make it there one way or the other.

I hope my trailer is big enough to bring all this stuff home...Haven't seen much 60 seriws stuff, though.
But then there is the parts swap also

I could use a lot of that nice stuff! Wow! Can't wait!!! I could really use some sliders for my 80!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just finished looking over the 4runner. Been driving it and it seems to be doing pretty good. We'll be leaving tomorrow morning. Wish us luck!

 

[dbenke]

See you up there in the afternoon, Scott

 

[greenseaman]

Had a great time at GSMTR! I wish more of you guys could have come. Had a great time wheeling with David and Scott and a few more guys. The food was great, great raffle prizes and a great band! It was good hanging out with all y'all that were there! I'll let Benke tell you his trail carnage story!!!

Pics

Here are a few pics. Don't have any of David or Scott on the trails. My 4runner ran real good until we got home then the starter messed up... Had to beat on it to get it going... But overall everything went great!! Y'all missed a great time!

 

[boombapslappy]

Thanks for coming guys! What a great group! WOW that was FUN!!

Just wanted to thank Scott, David and all the rest of LC that came up for this event. I know it was a long way. But I think most of them can attest it was worth the drive. Next year will be an epic event with it being the 20th Anniversary GSMTR.

I'd like y'all to start thinking about things you would like to do for the event.

One thing I had in mind since the Bayou State Cruisers did such a great job with the stew was to try to work upon that having clubs offer to make dinner each night. I think it could be easily done and possibly make a little money in the process. What if LC did a boil one night? Would certainly draw a crowd and considering y'all are coming from the coast we could get a fresh shipment.

Thanks again for all your hard work towards making LC a club we can all be proud of.
