Count me in too
Going to go over the truck tomorrow and get her ready. If there is another Cb to use, that would be nice. No chains for me, so im sure that ill need a pull or two. I have a friend in town this weekend that is a photographer, I signed him up to document the fun.
Will have room for 2 if someone would rather ride, Ill try to not scare any riders...

I'll throw another CB in the truck. The magnets on the mag mounts are too weak for trail use so it works best to wire-tie the antenna to the roof rack. That keeps it from getting knocked off by tree branches.

I have a new mag mount antenna. I even tuned it. For those that don't have a CB I wouldn't worry about purchasing one unless you really want to.
ok, i'm packed up and ready to roll. the transmission was very slippy when first run, i put it in and out of low range and and rolled around the yard. i got it working better. it may just need to be warmed up and run. it's been about 3 months.
those tire chains for the 39.5" tires gotta be 100lbs!
they only come in the heavy duty version for that size. i had to put them in 2 separate bags to load them. i couldn't lift both together into the 40. i need to start working out.
edit: i will have an open seat too. the wife doesn't want to be out as long as it will probably take.

I wouldn't blame her!Don't tell my co-driver that or she will probably ditch my mini-truck for your 80!

15 gallons of B20, plus 5 riding in the bed. Greased a bunch of stuff (like that's tough), and the truck is ready to roll tomorrow morning.
Now I have to figure out why my cigarette lighter isn't putting out power.... Stupid hacked up wiring harness, what jerk did that?!?!
I'm guessing I'll want that for the mobile CB...
8AM, 550 and 528. I'm there.
Edit--I will not be going to the Frontier with a couple of Stihl chainsaws in the bed. 8AM and 550 and 528 though. Yeah!

Well poop - literally. A stomach virus has made its way to my house so we're out. I don't want to deal with this on the trail or have one of the kids start having symptoms out there.

Dropping like flies. 14 trucks.
Our house had it two weeks ago.. Luckily it was a short lived one. good luck.
Make that 13. I've been asked to attend a holiday event tomorrow afternoon, and I would not feel right refusing. I'm going to have to go for the consolation prize, and go to the Gub-show tomorrow morning, and try to sell/trade for something new.
Hopefully we can get a snow run going in January.
my wife is back in. convinced by Ali's wife.
with 16 trucks as a starting point, we can afford to loose the inevitable few who will drop out.
There's a Hacienda on the north side of 550 about halfway between I-25 and 528. Not with airport Hacienda burritos, but *real* burritos...

I might need to take that back. Current radar .... Hopefully there was more snow than rain.

i'm hoping it will be snowing on us tomorrow. there's a slight to medium chance depending on where the info is coming from. if we can't start the day with good snow, maybe we can end with it!
I know it is kind of late but I am out. Be safe.
Thanks,
