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

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?

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! :hissyfit:

Ugh.

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.

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

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?

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.

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 :duh:

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 :rotfl:

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.

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

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

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

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
