Picked up the tent from academy. Put it up this morning to find out it was previously used. Someone got it dirty before I had a chance too.
 
At the last OTMT, someone cooked this amazing pork butt... I can't remember who it was, but if you happen to remember, lemme know and I will get hold of him and see if he's available.

Kidding of course, I know that's an all day affair and ain't nobody got time fo dat!

Seriously though, I think we should get a list of who is bringing what. I don't have cooking stuff and have managed to own an ARB Fridge for two years yet never tried it out. No straps. My cooler will hold ice for most of the first day... So if it's cool with everyone, I will bring Cheetos, Doritos, and buns (burger and/or dog, just need to know).
That was Marshall that cooked the pork butts. Those did turn out great probably the best pulled pork I have had to date.
 
That sounds good. You will have two choices. Meet us at Courthouse falls or in the Black Balsam parking lot. WHen we get closer to the event we will have a specific meeting time for each. We plan on having lunch after courthouse falls in the parking lot. I'd think it would be safe to say 10-11 would be a good time to be there. We would probably leave by 12 at the latest to head up to black balsam. I'd say be at Black Balsam at 12. Might be 1 before we get there. It's only 30min at the most from Courthouse falls.

Is this the correct location to meet?

Never been before so I don't want to be in the wrong place.

Yep, that's the place. When you get to the end of the parking lot, you go through the fence and continue on the trail. The bald is a few miles in to the trail. Not quite at the end, but there will be a small sign nearby.

Hey i'm here, just don't check in here too much. Sorry about that.

I haven't seen this trip planned... this is the first i've read of it.
 
I got my steering box in and everything put back together after work tonight. Need to finish bleeding it tomorrow. It's too dark out now. Also, I fired her up after the first quart of fluid and when I went to shut it down it kept running even with the key out of the ignition. I'm thinking I knocked a wire loose somewhere? Will inspect more tomorrow. Any ideas for starting points before I trouble shoot tomorrow afternoon?

My first thought is the alternator, but I don't think I knocked anything loose there. We'll see tomorrow.

Had you removed your battery and tray like I had done when I rebuilt my steering? If so, then I'd bet you have something going on with the battery/fusible link/something there...
If not, eLifIknow

I didn't pull the battery tray, but I did put a new terminal on the other day. I have spare fusible links so I'll check that tomorrow. If the link was bad though, I'd think it wouldn't start?

I was just wondering if you jumpered something incorrectly, kinda thing. You're correct, those links would make it not start, but sometimes, folks remove those all-together and crazy things happen. You putting a new clamp on would be a place to start.
 
Messed with the alternator? Most likely it's back feeding the ignition. If you unplugged it maybe you somehow plugged it in backwards.

My best shot.
I looked this morning and there is a broken wire in harness on top of the alternator. I'm going to investigate more tonight.

Looking like it's going to be down to the wire… Pun intended.

Man, this is the most stressed out time crunch I've ever had for a trip. Got a new battery today too. I hope I can get this sorted tonight.
 
Damn. Wish I could make it
