Lurch is good to go now. Friday night I decided to give him a once-over because I didn't have anything else going on and discovered two jacked spring plates and the front wheel bearings needed repacking. So, that's all done along with a tranny filter change and oil change. When filling the engine back up with oil, I heard the midget in the crankcase grumbling something about swallowing my sole. Saturday it was nice so I drove him up to my friend's house in Oklaho...I mean the north side of Mckinney. Going down Highway 75 at 75 or so mph, I noticed the rear was a little squirly still but thought maybe it was a tire pressure issue. Sunday I noticed the driver's side rear spring hanger was about half ripped off the frame. Whoops. So now that is fixed. Aside from that, I need to put some tools and spares together this week and the death trap will be ready.
So far, this is what I know:
I'm leaving friday after work towing Lurch to Gilmer
Flem is leaving CS after class friday in one of his rovers
Kevin Kollins is coming up sometime friday from Houston in a rover of some sort
Chris is leaving friday driving the FJC?
My buddy casey will either come friday night or saturday morning with his "TJ"
My buddy Jim may be bringing his CJ7
Another friend might be coming with his CJ8
Jason Kelly is coming and maybe his cheerookee too...Alternator is acting up apparently.
Other than that, no idea. Looks like a pretty light group. I assume since Grayson has avoided this thread, he's either mad about me not wanting his Lab, or he's used up his "kitchen passes".
I am leaving Friday straight from work towing my camping/utility trailer behind the FJC.
I will be set up in Toyota camp with a beer in hand. If you need help unloading Lurch or anything, Or want to caravan just let me know Fred and I will meet up with you.
I'll probably leave directly from work friday as well. I'll go 20 to hwy 80 since I'm already in Mesquite. So, I don't know if you planned on going that way or not. 20 or 30, I don't think either one is really faster than the other. We can just plan on meeting at Gilmer unless you just want somebody to convoy with.
Nope I'm good, just tune into Channel 19 and set the Cruise :gigem: Since I will be leaving from Plano I will probably take 380 to 30. That beats fighting 635 around and then fighting Friday night rushout of Dallas on 80 or 20. I am aiming for about a 7 or 8 arrival.Quote:

I'll save it for Saturday night.
This campfire lemonade sounds interesting. I'm not a big fan of night wheeling to be honest with you, but it's been about 7 years since that horrible night run/recovery in Las Cruces. I might be convinced to revisit this idea.
I'm ready to go wheeling now. I think I should quit my job, sell off all my crap except for my scout and just go live in the mountains. Work sucks.
Well BMRA has put a strict new policy on no wheeling after 10, so there won't be much... :(
didnt think that was new.
They have had the 10 oclock curfew for just about a year, but about a month ago a whole bunch of drama went down with Lawton (the ass of a manager) chasing people off the main roads after 10 and calling the sheriffs on a lady who came to the bathroom to pee driving a Tahoe, acusing her of wheeling. I think they have it all sorted it out now, but I keep myself in camp after 10.
its been there since right after he showed up i think. definitely longer than a year. i remember a big stink about it a couple years ago it seems.
At the most a year and a half. I have been wheeling that place religiously since I graduated and moved up here and the curfew got put in place about that time.Quote:

i hate to continue a frivolous argument/agree w/ cax, but there was a big to-do about it on the lonestar board when it first went down, and that board has been dead for like 3 yrs.
Thanks for letting me try and drop it birthday boy.
Ok ok ok the curfew has been around alot longer than i remember. He is calling the cops now (however gay that is) so you wont catch me out of camp past 10. Thanks and :gigem:
