Truck is loaded!! Trailer is loaded with tires but haven't loaded any wood yet. I haven't done anything on my to do list yet!!!!!!!!! Maybe tonight after everyone goes to bed. Ill probably just end up topping off the transfer case and worry about the seal and bearing later :( .
 
There is plenty of wood to cut in the event area

I know I won't be up until Thursday, but do I need to bring the Stihl?

I have 2 long days of court in ATL. How to get packed Tuesday night so all that is left is putting ice in the cooler mid morning Wednesday.

Posted from a brick.
 
Basket is installed. Wired the lights up wrong and 4 hrs worth of work melted away! Oh well ready as I am gonna be!

Got to top off fluids, change LCAs and reinstall the battery and light harness... hopefully tomorrow I will be able to drive it around some to make sure nothing is leaking before we leave on Thursday.
 
Loaded up, got a few things to take care of then I'm headed out.

Sent from my detachment from reality.
 
Kinda jealous of all you guys heading out today. Will see you all tomorrow. Safe travels to all who are on the road today.
 
HOT DAM!! It runs and appears to not be leaking anywhere. I moved it 15' and started cleaning all my tools and stuff up. I took a minute to give it a quick wash cause the birds had been having target practice on the hood.

Clean it out. Top off oil and coolant and remove third row seats, then load up all our chit.

Baby girls last day of school is tomorrow, so lunch with her and then we will be on the road.
 
sorry hunter but i saw this thread and couldn't resist...

**install battery tie down**
