Southern 100s to HIH2016

[ntsaint]

22 days until my crew rolls out...Which is only 3 weekends of prep.

 

[phippsj]

You guys decide on a hotel in ABQ?

 

[ntsaint]

I think we are kinda spread out. There is a holiday inn express and drury next to each other north of 40 that are good. Also a courtyard Marriott north of there that is nice as well. Personally haven't booked yet.

 

[phippsj]

Ok. Just wanted to book a room.

Got a meeting spot for Wednesday morning in Denton?

 

[ntsaint]

Cool. I will shoot you a PM when we book in ABQ.

Let's meet here in Denton, Starbucks on the west side of down.

2320 W University Dr, Denton, TX 76207

Time still yet TBD, but i would say 8:30-9am at the latest.

PM sent on hotel info @phippsj

Got a little prep work done this week to the new to me LX. BFG AT KO2s go on Friday and hopefully sliders will be able to get here the next week, leaving me the last weekend to mount them up. Since it rained most of this weekend here, I put everything I need for the trip together and am ready to go gearwise. All I need to do now is pack clothes when I get back from Clarksdale, MS on business next week.

13 days until my crew heads out...beside some routine maintenance, truck is in good shape after a CV/spindle/knuckle incident that i shall never mention again!

It's 98* here with 90% humidity. So ready to roll out...

FYI, looks like a buddy and his wife are going up with us, staying at the house we rented in silverton. We will probably have a 3/4 ton Chevy chase vehicle

 

[phippsj]

I can handle this.

 

[ntsaint]

Boom!

 

[montegofd3s]

Yummmmmm!

 

[ntsaint]

One. Week.

Brennan is making some drawers based on the original @ntsaint design, so hopefully we'll mount those up Monday night. If not, action packers are already to go,

I've got to pull the running boards, mount up the new receiver hitch for rear protection, change diffs and transfer case fluids, and wax it up to help with scratches. Not as "built" as last time, but it'll do since I bought it last week.

Bought it 7/7


New shoes last weekend:




old rig:

 

[montegofd3s]

My shoes are worn, but I couldn't bring myself to replace them before this trip. They have a good 10k left before they need to be replaced. I will do 100s with some low tread and then replace them. hahaha. 1 more day until we roll out!

 

[ntsaint]

I'm in same boat. Worn more than I would like but they've got 10-15k left. Gonna wait another year.

 

[phippsj]

Looking forward to it guys. I'll meet you all at the Starbucks in Denton next Wednesday morning. Let me know if that changes. Mobile is 214-587-6251.

 

[ntsaint]

5. Only need one hand to count the days now!

 

[bamabrock]

Brennan got working on my @ntsaint inspired drawers last night. Going with full drawers and just a stain to match the factory woodtrim for now. We'll do wings and finish them out later.

Nice
