Pumpkin Pig Run Oct 26th-28th*************

[jfz80]

Drove the Piggie this weekend! I have a ton of things to finish up before PPR but she will be there one way or another.

One month and counting and have to do the following:

1) have garage fix drum brakes and reroute exhaust
2) finish cutting rust out of tailgate, weld in new metal, and paint
3) finish wire wheeling interior of roof
4) weld supports on roof to roof to fix or help oil canning
5) install door panels
6) install speakers and figure out why radio quit working
7) install new CB - I think this is what is draining my battery
8) install back seat and mount shovel and axe to rear of back seat
9) weld together rear wheel swing-away. Everything is pretty much cut and ready to be welded - I don't trust my 110 MIG or my welding capabilities for this.
10) figure out some storage for the rear
11) weld up Jerry can mount - I can do this once my swing-away is done

Whew - thats a bunch!

I found some non-cosmetic problems yesterday - I don't have any front brakes....

I got the t-shirt in today from Cafe Press.

Cost is about 21 dollars plus shipping. It's 10 colors.

Obviously inspired by the Big Gay 2F build color palette

As much as I want to make this one I will not be able to join you all.

Cullowhee is my favorite run. I'll be thinking of you all from my perch overlooking the Atlantic side of the outer banks.


Okay...pass my tobasco sauce?

If I can get a few kinks worked out I hope to be there. I have put down to be off that Friday so I can make it.

Alex you old fart you have your dates messed up again. Your going to OBX this week. You will be back next weekend. You will then have 2 weeks to get ready for the run at the end of this month.lol

I really want to be there but that weekend is only happening if someone is bringing a satellite dish, otherwise I suggest oct 13 when there are no Clemson games. My pig is as orange as my Clemson blood I'm not missing any games my last yr as a student.

Everyone please let us know which date you think is best your opinion will be valuable in setting a definite date, but if you drive a 55 your more valuable

Richard you are coming right? How is the pig coming? Do you need someone to follow you up?

I hope we have more than one Piggie on this run!

I might (just might) head up Thursday. If so I'll need to find a ride for Ali sometime Friday from the Greenville area...any takers?

 

[GXO]

I would be going up through GA to NC directly, sorry, can't give your wife a ride

You my good Sir are not allowed to give my a "ride."

Dianne and I (with dog) should be able to make it. It will be the 100's (named Sid) first outing. No lockers, no winch, no mud terrains...damn I am slipping.

Wait...HEATED SEATS!

 

[GXO]

You will be fine, we never leave anyone behind, even if they forget to put shocks on their truck

Several stock FJC's made this trip in the past. (I know, ATrac tips the scales a bit)

I made it last year in my stock (with stock size BFG AT) 1988 FJ62
