Same here. My cousin is the pit crew manager for Patron Racing at Petit Le Mans...only time I get to see him. Besides, the Patron girls would not be happy if I didn't attend also...
Bummer, wish it wasn't that weekend.

Yes, you do need to be present for the raffle. We sell the tickets there and if you are not there to claim the prize we call the next ticket.

What is the Wi-Fi availability at the park? FSU vs Clemson is Sat night and I'll be looking to stream the game.
If you disconnect the ram and steering is balanced then it's the ram at fault. Otherwise look elsewhere.

Well it's not the ram, disconnected it and the steering still had dead spots with what felt like no PS, and it did it turning the opposite way. Something's up in the box. Still a few weeks so there is time, don't want to miss this ride.
I am taking Friday off, will prob. leave early early Friday morning to get their by lunch, to do some playing on friday, get my tent setup etc....
I was thinking of going thur. after work maybe so i could get an early start fri. depends on how much work i have to do on thur. if anyone else is planning on being their early let me know. I still need to pay for my BBQ plate.

Usually the park is closed on Thursday and will not open until Friday AM
Can't wait!!!!!
Hopefully I won't have to pull too many jeeps out......
Before I reserve a camping spot I want to make sure I will for sure not have work that weekend. Worst case, I will only be able to make it on Saturday.Yeah...probably better save the energy for the build. Vast majority of these guys are built to the gills!

Is there typically a congregation point for dinner Friday night or does everyone just cook and eat at their campsite? If the latter is anyone in Campsite 2 bringing a grill?
I will have a grill at campsite 2 Friday and Saturday //letseat//
Ya no problemI will have a grill at campsite 2 Friday and Saturday //letseat//
Cool, hope you don't mind if I throw something on Friday.
those at camsite 7. i will bring some firewood. if we all bring a little we should have plenty.I was planning on it.
Oo, and im bringing some beer. and i have a large 9x9 canopy i can setup. I will bring it and set it up, we can move it once everyone gets setup , not sure how we are going to fit that many tents on that site, seemed last time i was at site 7, and 3 tents where pretty packed. but im sure we will make it work.94xjsport94 will be in my tent. So that's one less to worry about. I'm not much of a beer drinker so I will have some Bourbon.

Was looking at the 10-day forecast just now and it looks like it's gonna be in the low 40s at night...about 70 during the day....bring it on!
Making my list now...kids aren't coming, so the list is a little shorter than usual.
Yeah c'mon. What's the rig count up to now?
That's an awesome grocery getter!
Went on a shakedown run today to get ready for next weekend. Made it all the way there, got groceries and back and didn't even have to winch off any curbs. I even saved $4.00 with my Kroger Plus card!

The steering seems to be fine, minus the fact that I swapped pumps so without the ported pump the steering is slow to respond, but at least the pump whine is gone with the replacement pump.

Y'all want to meet at the mall of ga exit? There is a qt next to the brandsmart. 8am? That's the only exit I know but we can get right off and back on the highway easily.

What time does everyone want to get to Gulches?
I'd like to get there by 10AM,
so if we meet at 7:30 and roll by 8,
we will arrive by 10AM at The Gulches.
If that is too early, i believe Tony will pas thru about 10AM.
Unfortunately I am only going to be there Friday. We have company coming in from Tampa to have a football Saturday and go to the Falcons Bucs game Sunday to see who is the worst team in our conference lol. Bill may join me for the day if they arrive in time.

I'll be there. That sounds like a plan. I'm coming from Columbus so I'll be leaving around 4 or so. I thought the park opened at noon? Oh well! //;D//
...Skip is usually there early for us...he knows we come early.
Some people don't like that about me. :( at least I'm not alone
Just remember, It's only raining if it's raining!rain is bad news at Gulches. Fingers crossed for sunshine

It needs to rain for a solid hour and be done. This place is the dust capital of SC. Hope to get a rain to moisten it up and thats it.I heard you on that.

Looking forward to the weekend. //SLAMIN//Me too, Jeep is mostly packed. Still have to put the top and doors on in the morning. Pack the cooler and a few other things and head out.

if you still want to come you can ride with me. My rider is not able to make it.
Big thanks to Tony and Scott last night. I had a front axle seal leaking and we got it knocked out yesterday evening. It was nice to have the extra hands since I needed to drive to work this morning. I have learned a big lesson here lately. DON'T BUY AFTERMARKET SEAL. I just put seals in about 2 weeks ago and started leaking worse that it did for original leak. Bottom line factory seals are in and I am ready for Gulches.

Hit some obstacles I would have never thought of trying before. Like you said, great spotting from all the guys.
Congrats on the Newbie of the year, that was awesome of the group to do that.
I saw lots of belly hits with the JKU's, or at least Richards got it. My wheelbase walked over a lot of stuff there.Why you gotta pick on my ride? //WTF// At least I made it up TNT the first, second, and third time. //SLAMIN// //LMAO//

IMHO JKU's owned the park, at least in cru9's group! Lots of available traction for us to get up on it.
Backing up the bank to reposition is what got him. It has gotten a few here before.

That thing was a major POS. The PVC snorkel and amp wire running outside the hood into the door were so clean. Definitely not cool jumping in our group,in the way, then not being able to get it to start... I did want his tires though.

There is a difference when you you've spent the money to get
your rig locked front and rear plus the right gearing and tires
