    So we have 5 for sure, with 2-3 possibles. I don't think we'll need to reserve anything with those numbers. Should be easy just to fly by the seat of our pants and plan shit as we go.

    bmf, jakejake, assdog, five, moho.

    Anyone else for sure going?

    My boss and a few other Jeep guys from work are going Oct 5th so I'll recon then. That gives me 2 weekends to do my AAL and raise the coils. And I work both of those Fridays. And it's going to rain this weekend. Figures.

    Beau,

    I am an 90% possibility from San Diego. Where and when would I meet up with you?

    Depends on what day you come. I'm thinking we go to the park Fri/Sat, so if we wanted to meet up Thursday night we could hang out at my house or at Jakes. Camp in the park Friday, Saturday, or Fri/Sat, or neither. I'm good either way. I wouldn't mind at least one night under the stars. Oct nights here can drop into the 40s, but I bet it's in the low 50s. Good morning hoodie weather. Probably about like T2S in Sedona.

    I got another guy I work with with an FJ planning to come as well, so I'd call it 7 for sure, 3 possible. I'll call Merus and see if we need reservations for 10 rigs.

    I was planning on taking off Oct 16-20 and showing up Wednesday night. Maybe I'll just drive to the cabin or bug @Sirfive Wednesday, then show up in Amarillo Thursday afternoon.

    So up to 7 rigs doesn't need a group booking. If we hit 8, we will need one.

    You just want to play the song! :laugh:

    Ok I'll probably drive to the cabin then Wednesday and take a nap. I'll hit you up when I wake up after that.

    I've never gone that way before. I've considered it in the past. But I'd likely be headed closer to you, just west of San Antonio, then north. That way I can meet up with Casey and/or take a power nap at my cabin. Since I'll be headed that way right after working a night shift. I figure if we get into town Thursday we'll have time to do any last minute truck fixes and take in the sights of Amarillo. I wouldn't mind seeing the Cadillac ranch and Big Texan.

    I'm planning on getting my AAL and coils done next weekend, with boys help. If not, I can wait on y'all till Thursday. Maybe re-bleed my brakes again before we go.

    Noted, I am right off 183/35 so I can meet around there. If you and Casey head this way or any of the other SA guys then I'll certainly join. Looking at getting a new rack and pinion, doing my breaks and getting new tires beforehand! Really wish the K03 had 6 ply released already. Those AT4W heavy!

    You don't need them. I did hell's revenge without them on stock gears. Set yourself up for the rear axle on obstacles and left foot brake. Slight pressure and drive gently through the brakes similarly to driving a manual.

    Nope, North Austin, although I guess Cedar Park technically isnt North Austin.
