Midwest / near chicago Ill meet june 1st.

[jrSS]

Come on peeps...we need more members to show up. BUMP!!!!

 

[Chief]

Man we got some coming out of the wood work for this meet. Might have to change the name to Reunion...

Dude! You said wood...lol. Count me in for this one. Hope to have at least 1 of my tb's runnin for this...

 

[Boricua SS]

Has anyone thought about extending an invite to the 355 crowd? After all, this is a GMT meet

I can get into contact with Geeds and see what he thinks... I am a member on 355nation.net, but he is pretty much world renowned on that site... so it would be better coming from him..

What do you all think?

 

[jrSS]

Good idea!! I say...DO IT!!

 

[Boricua SS]

sweet... I sent a message to Geeds on FB already... awaiting a reply... hopefully they don't have anything going on around that time... I know they do it BIG with the super meets...

edit: here's the link to the invite on 355nation.net

[jrSS]

Buuuuummmmpppp!!!

 

[Sparky]

I hate automated phone systems!

I'm trying to call the Super 8 about my reservation that looks like it may not have gone through on the web, but it keeps me going round and round asking for various numbers that should be on my confirmation email. Well I never got one, that's why I'm calling, let me talk to someone to find out if it went through or not!

Ugh.

 

[Wishbone]

They're part of Wyndham hotels, try this number...

Reservations: 877-999-3223

 

[Sparky]

Thanks, I got it squared away. My online reservation didn't go through but got it straightened out over the phone. Actually ended up a couple bucks cheaper today too for some reason, so it all worked out in the end.

So what kind of mods are everyone trying to get done before the meet? Here's my list

Trash Can Delete
PCM4Less Tune
Homebrew CAI
Hunter Brush Guard
(Maybe) Mark 3inch lift.
(Maybe) Light bar

 

[HARDTRAILZ]

Hated my Hunter Brushguard. Chinese crap just vibrated like hell. Plus it reduced approach angle.

well hopefully we don't have to worry about that...

that will be a secret my friend .. I can guarantee the beaSSt will look different compared to last year...

I'm doing it more for looks than offroading, i know they arent any good for that. Also, they offer slight protection from road debris. If MDB werent a year out (and not taking orders i do believe) I'd try and save up for one of his bumpers, but it is what it is. You dont still have the hunter do you?

 

[Charley12]

No one knows me, and thats cool!! Im a newb! Id like to attend but am already committed to a meet in Indy the week before! But I will keep an eye out for any other meet going on. Id like to get one in NW Ohio started this fall.

 

[Hatchet]

No mods here. I'm just gunna try and fix my truck by then.

Exhaust is corroded through after the muffler.
Engine running like crap need to do full tune up.
Fix driver side door. (the compressor arm snapped on a cold day. anyone know how to replace this?)
Get my transfer case out and new seals put in.
If I can find the awd sleeve, put that in my disconnect.

 

[Sparky]

So what kind of mods are everyone trying to get done before the meet?

Lop off the can (finally) It is rattling a lot inside and has annoyed me long enough
Paint or replace my wiper arms to clean them up
And headlights... gotta finish those headlights after all this time. Kicking myself for not having them done a long time ago

Doubt I'd do anything else as this truck isn't worth putting too much into that I cannot easily move over to the next one. It's trusty, but old and rusty, so just keeping it going for another year or two unless I can cook up some cheap way of stopping the rust.

If I had a welder I'd consider just going to town on cutting off the rust, welding up new metal, then painting the whole truck in blotch forest camo to hide the imperfections

 

[Boricua SS]

well ok, I'll let a little bit leak out...

I'll be adding to my LED's in my interior before the meet...

[Hatchet]

Sorry to hear Kev. Hope all works out for yall.

 

[HARDTRAILZ]

Let us know if you need anything. We can always come help, since you always come up and help us out.

 

[wink]

My father recently passed and my extra "play" money went to flying back home for a week. There is still a slight chance of being able to make it, but after some maintenance work to the truck I don't think I'll have the funds.

Sorry for your loss!

We can always have a lil meet down by you and help out with the maintenence even if you cant make the big meet.

 

[Matt]

I need the excuse to visit Kentuckey!

 

[Boricua SS]

weekly

 

[Hatchet]

Lets take some bets. What will be the weird thing at this meet. Police? Firetrucks? Celebrity look a likes? Ed getting pat down? Ed break dancing?

 

[HARDTRAILZ]

Something with duct tape, watermelon, 2 bullets, and a hammer. Probably management or maybe a peace officer will be by after.

Damn! Would you quit reminding me of the fun I'm going to miss this year!

Set up a webcam streamed to your phone so you can watch the graduation while still at the meet

(I have a feeling that wouldn't go over well )

 

[Boricua SS]

so what are the plans for the actual meet day? this meet is getting closer by the day (see what I did there ).. haven't seen anything about activities, or grillin, etc... are we just all going to hang out like we did at Indy and provide our own things?

 

[Grimor]

Doesn't look like I'll have my kid that weekend, so I will probably make it. Any chance of relocating it to this side of the boarder? Not a big fan of the socialist state.... I recommend Hoosier prairie nature preserve in Griffith, Indiana

I can bring some tailgating games and booze

 

[Sparky]

Very good question. I didn't even think about stuff to bring

 

[Boricua SS]

other things to do (to be discussed)

as typed by Ed at the beginning...

but nobody has really discussed anything
