Sorry to say guys I'm not going to make it. I was hoping to get the truck in before the weekend, but it's going to be Tuesday before I can get it looked at. Hope you have a great time.

hold up! i think i may be able to sneak out earlier now friday night...might finish at 6pm, will double check for conflicts, if not, i'ma comin too!
Matt i'll give you a shout or if you and Simon wanna just post up times...
Simon, i checked mapquest, looks like it's a tad quicker to go up 400 and across 9 then north/east to kinmount? is that your backdoor way?

I haven't even bothered to put one back in yet I just live like I don't have a winch so I should just sell the dam thing and go electric. maybe I will pull it off on friday.
anyone have an extra plate to seal back up my transfercase? guess I would need to make one for the floor also.
A convoy sounds great! but the earliest I could leave is around 7:30-8. yeah rome! ditch work! convoy!

woot, woot, i think we're good fellas! i'm done at 6pm, my buddy's done at 6:30. we'll head home, get our shyte ready and head east, we should be able to meet somewhere on the 401 or 400 depending on which way ya'lls wanna head. if timing is good, we can hook up with Simon in misterssauga somewhere before meetin ya Matt (think of a rendezvous point...) . i'll have gas cans so we should be good straight to kinmount and top up there...
my lockin hubs have been cleaned and regreased (no need for pliers!), brakes cleaned, thermostat installed, the heater works, so it should be a cozy drive up friday night even with the rag top...toque and fleece pants ready!

its actually faster to go 401 to 404 to 31davies drive, north 48 to north12, then west on the 15, then SOUTH on 35, then west right away on 8, then north on the 121...
its easy to explain 401 to 35 to 121
back way in i meant take the trails to trevors place from the 121
matt, im cool with around 8, let me know where. i live on the 401, west end of mississauga.
what kind of tranfer case plate are you looking for? pto plate? i have 2 spare transfer cases at the trevors farm. i can help you out.

Have to get it safetied. MTO pulled the plates back in the spring, been working on it off and on ever since. Had it in once, but still needed more work. Hopefully it will pass this time and than I'm looking forward to some fall wheeling. Get some pics and maybe do a little write up for the news letter if one of you can.

Ok well lets meet up somewhere along the 401. before the 404. what about the Tim Hortons south of the 401 at Weston Road? Rome could you get there for 8?
well all I have done this week to prepare my truck is take it to my friends farm, drift it around his dirt track and jump it in his gravel pit lets hope she is good to me this weekend boys!
Simon, yeah I need the plate that goes on the top of the T-case where the PTO would go I think I will be too busy tomo to do it.
