Merustober the 3rd: April edition

Anything over 33" tires and can hit some diamond trails.

 

Casey and Jake are fairly stock, I'm lifted and on 33s. Jon is lifted on 35s. Green trails are pretty easy, but a lift and a little bugger tire are needed for the blues.

 

several of us meet that definition... I am Locked Front and rear on 37s in a 2.5 gen.

 

Yeah no more floppage.
Seriously though, when you're getting lofty, off-camber, and someone keeps asking over the radio if you'd like a spotter... Take em up on it.

 

What's your asking price?

 

The 4th Annual Terry Funk Invitational Panhandlemonium at Merus, Sponsored by Lone Star Beer.

 

Never heard you....Just for the record...

 

Maybe time for hearing aids?

But seriously, don't be afraid to ask for a spot. No shame .

 

I haven't given it any thought to be honest.

 

Maybe you and the OP of this thread can work something out. He's looking for a clean FGT.

I could theoretically sell, but not sure if I want to dick around with finding a replacement right this minute. Intention was to buy another truck then sell this one.

 

Ok, then see you at Merus...

 

Y'all check the Merus calendar for these dates already?

 

Yeah, it's some offroad driving and recover class that weekend.

 

So... It's ok?

Plenty of people ready for some recovery practice in case we need em.

 

So April 23-26 is Merus and April 30 is the first day of Jambo. It's about a 7.5hr drive from Amarillo to Gilmer. Thinking I'm just going to take the week off and hang around @JakeJake and @bmf4069 and see what all Jake can get done off my list in that time.


Edit: well NVM to that plan.
Not sure where I got those dates from. Still going to see about taking a week off though.

 

16th-19th.

 

Even better.

 

hmmm up my alley... lol

 

ok Beau, What dates do I put on my calender?

 

i’m getting a bumper and sliders, and have skidplates. I’m about to rawdog that park on 30.5” bitchelins.

bonus, the bench seat is comfy enough to sleep on, and polo has his platform, my bed might only need to be kitchen.

 

I think I'm going to just take off Sunday and Monday nights after Merus, instead of the entire week. Sorry @JakeJake but I don't think I'm going to have the disposable income to do much with ya this go around. Maybe if we were still doing it in October. But we could at least measure the gas tank skid.

 

No sweat man!

 

Actually I do have a job for you. Wanna weld on my marlin crawler LCA bolt gusset thingies?

 

I certainly can. I have the two days prior booked for @Sirfive 's front crossmember and bumper install, so we will have to plan accordingly.

 

I won't be there til lunch Thursday anyways. Worse case scenario I'm sure it can wait til after Merus.

 

16th-19th. That's Thursday through Sunday.

I slept in my front seat for the first T2S. It wasn't too bad.

 

I slept in my passenger seat probably 5x at HF before I got my Softopper omw to my first Jambo.

Speaking of which, Jambo is April 30-May 03, if y'all don't get it all out of your system at Merus.

 

I missed the 4 week check-in on Friday. How are we doing? Any solid "I'm in" yet? A word of warning that I hope doesn't come true. It got up to 98 here on Saturday. I really, really don't want to be down in the canyon when it gets that hot on the surface. We will keep an eye out on the forecast as much as we can.

 

I am doing everything I can to have the tundra ready. Should be in 100% if I can finish my injectors by this weekend. Agree with the temp though, its been a devils arse already
