All the freakin work I'm doing on the Goat, I should have rippling biceps by the time I leave lol <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/mrt.gif" alt="" /> My lug studs are the cool cross threaded kind <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/scared.gif" alt="" /> flipped my BJ's, trimmed bumpstops, some one handed grinder work, etc...

I can't wait to see the non-lifted first gen on 35's. I wanna see how it wheels. We seem to be getting more first gens this trip:

bigpoppax2
paulevans76
TrooperJ
LTC Don
TrooperChris

It's good to see people caring for the old boxes that started it all.

Hey guys!
My lift is not going to be here until Tuesday and I am not sure if I can get it on between then and Friday. Sooooo, if any of you guys have some coil spring compressors that you can chunk in the truck to bring, that would be greatly appreciated.
Depending how things go here, I might be wrenching at Uwharrie. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/shiner.gif" alt="" />

Thanks! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />

Good Newsà


Just in case it was a concern - I just go off the phone with Janetà
You can now rest assured that the Skewered Shrimp for Saturday nightÆs group meal will be kept nice and cold (in an actual refrigerator!) until itÆs time to start cooking.

THANK YOU, Janet! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />



* It will start out frozen before making the 3-hour trip (thermal-packed and thoroughly iced - of course), where it will then be transferred straight to the`fridge.

No worries, Mates! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />



Are we there yet?

IÆm pleased to report that WillV has just volunteered for KP duty on Saturday night. --- The extra pair of hands will be quite welcome!


Additionally, as a way of showing his appreciation for all of the help that he has received with his Isuzu from everyone, Will has informed me that he has a æthank youÆ offeringà one which makes it possible for me to announce the following:

If enough people can confirm, without-a-doubt, that they will be eating the group meal on Saturday night - believe it or not, there is now a distinct possibility that the expense recovery can be lowered to $5.00 PER-PERSON!!!

WhoÆs hungry NOW? <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/oink.gif" alt="" />
