LOL... I'll play follow the leader (as long as we keep a tow strap connected between you and me.) I've got a submarine now, but I'm a little concerned that I might get stuck on the bottom. :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I put a second tow hook on the front of my truck today, so now I am all set. :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Gary, I'm thinking that you didn't get down to frazzio's, right?

IF not... that's ok... its more important that you get your truck up and running... or rather.... stopping. ;) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Besides, Erik will have enough of stuff to pull us out if needed.

LOL... you guys are making me nervous, but my co-pilot will love to meet you, with all this running into each other to stop, and all. Oh yeah, I think I forgot to mention... he's an attorney!

Oh.. one more thing... should I pull my spare off of my tailgate? IF you use me to stop I want you to hit my bumper... not hit my spare and ruin a perfectly rotted tailgate!

Definitely looking forward to meeting you wackos ;) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I'm just kidding about being nervous. I am really looking forward to this little trip.

BTW... do you have a CB and do you use it in the park?

Starting to wonder what the weather will be like, and wondering if I should pull the top off.

I have carpeting in the rear, and I will have the back seat in, which is relatively clean cloth. If I pull the top off, is it likely that the interior will get muddy?

well i think you will like my copilot... my co pilot is my girlfriend... Eric already met her once before... she loves being out there just as much as i do...

about the using other ppl to stop i hope i wont have to do that... lol... i bent new brake lines yesterday, but couldn't install them cause i am having an issue getting the hard line to disconnect from the soft line in the back.... but once that is fixed... ill be golden... today i plan on finishing the snorkel and cutting the fender to make it "fit"... we will see what happens... then imma cut the other fender and mount the tow hook i bought to the front of my truck somewhere...

yeah... my problem is if i dont have it in 4HI then i get stuck really easily... and if i get stuck then i have to get out to lock the hubs... so i usually lock the hubs and put it in 4HI when i decide to go on trails... i think i will wait to to do that until we get to the "play area"...
