Well as of right now I'm still gonna try to make it up there after work on Friday.

I suck at cooking. Let me know if there is something that I can bring to help offset my lack of culinary skills.

Hope to see you guys soon.

Im going to try and make it...but I may be a co pilot for someone. The troop is getting fixed sometime next week. I'm just going to let a shop close by fix it for me. Uggh...oh well I'll be up and running soon!! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />

I'm about 100% sure I'll be there, but trooper is doubtful. I need to put re-install tranny, swap out rear 3rd, weld in a new cat & muffler. Unfortunately, I'm not going to have more than a couple of hours to work this weekend, so I'll be lucky to get tranny back in.

BTW, anyone want to do a garage sale post? I have an unused Dakota AT 285/75/16, 2 very used tie rods (trail spares), a welded 12 bolt 3rd, a 5 spoke alloy wheel, etc.

Mark - I'm sorry your Trooper won't be making it, but it's good to hear that you're still planning to come <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />

(* edited the above Attendance List)


As for the Garage Sale...
How much do you want for those Tie Rods?
(I think they'll work on my Rodeo)


Oh yeah - and I'll be sure to pack that Changer <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Ummm - Uhhhh - Errrrrrr...


Isuzu Rodeo Factoid:

With the rear seat folded-up, and the tailgate closed, an Isuzu Dana-44 rear axle WILL fit in the back...

A full-width front D-44 out of a J-20 WILL NOT.
(at least, not oriented nose-to-tail, allowing room for much of anything else - like another D-44 for instance)


Oh well - it looks like that front axle will have to wait and make the trip to TN another time. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />


Anyway, other than that (and a few small odds and ends), the Rodeo is already placked and ready already!

Dan TJBM is in, so our eta is Friday night ~10 pm. His Jeep will not be coming, as it currently has 4.88s in the rear and 3.07s in the front.



I'll play this game, a 78-80 Wagoneer d44 will fit in the back with a little room to spare.

And, if you happen to have a fullsize chevy with the long bed, you can fit: (taking inventory) a truckbox, loading ramps for the motorcycle, a ford 9" rear, 2 15x10 rims, a welder with cart and 10lb co2 tank, a 8x4ft sheet of plywood, a stock rear rodeo bumper, an indy4x rear bumper, a front rodeo bumper, and various smaller items.

And just to keep you guys guessing, yes, a d60 and 4 42" tsls pretty much fill up the bed.

Btw Smiley, have you removed your rear seat? That'll give you another 5-6".

I'm glad someone is ready <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/scared.gif" alt="" />. I'm just taking a break from finishing my skid plates. Everything seems to be comming together :knock on wood:

Still curious whats on the menu for the trails...I take it you guys must have a full plate and its going to be last minute decision......???Are we doing welder friday night as a night run <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />???

After seeing Callalantee, I think Dan is gonna wish he'd gotten those gears installed sooner <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/evil.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />



Bragard! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/nana.gif" alt="" />



Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm... veeeeeeeeery interesting.



OK, I'll play -- If I were to remove the rear seat, exactly where would you and Dan sit after the trail breakage? <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/ignore.gif" alt="" /> (SNAP! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" /> )
