Just so everyone knows, Ernest will not be coming either.  He has some family issues and work issues too.

I guess I'm next to pull out. With family stuff and work on daughter's and grand-daughter's cars, it will be better for me to unpack and stay home.

I'll still be there sometime during the night Friday or around sun up on Saturday.  I'll want to cook my breakfast on the griddle and then play it by ear after that.

Ryan, Count me in on the cabin but I may not get there in time to use it Friday.

I think I can come up with a canopy the company owns and will probably bring a small table or two.

Firewood is already loaded and I painted the fire pit again...

As I told Ernest, "This trip is worth a lot even if I stay in camp.  It IS NOT happening in College Station and it's far away from work. :breakcomp:

It still looks like I will be coming in about 2 or 3 am on Saturday.  :sleepy:

I will have a bunch of firewood and the fire pit.  I will have extra wood too. 

I might run the Jeep a little but it's daily transportation and I won't have a way to get it home if I damage it.

So, if you break anything Friday night, you know how to call me for a parts run. :steeringwheel:

I would venture to say that not a single one of us would start out on an off road trip with any of the trailers involved.

We might start out with an un-secured battery in a Jeep and we can break an axle, but pull a trailer with 10 inch tires? :017:

Bought 3 grand cherokees through the lone star auction.  The only one that turned out to be parts only came from the Fort Worth yard.

We are driving the other two daily, one from Odessa and one from Beaumont.

As it looks now, I can be there but I can't leave College Station until 10:00 pm on Friday night or early Saturday morning.  I've got a high school senior grand daughter, doing her last high school performance on Friday night.

Paperwork is all done for the bonded title.  I have a year to get the bond and then 30 days to title without registration. :dance:

Cars and Trucks for Sale / 79 RC 2x

There's what appears to be a 79 2x RC in the impound yard at Fort Worth.  The VIN they have listed is not correct but I think it came with a 318.  The top is messed up and sitting on it sideways.  The current bid on it is $150 and it has almost a week till bid closing.

You can look at it here:

Anybody know if the NP 420 transmission mounts the same as the NP435?  I am thinking about temporarily installing a 360 magnum in the 57 and would like to use the transmission and transfer case as originally installed.

I have a small block bellhousing and my computer for the magnum does not use the crank sensor.

I've been to Cline Ranch.  There were lots of places that any of our vehicles could go.  Aaron has been there too cause I got to help him up a place or two.  Danger Dave set a 440 RC on fire there and had it rebuilt by the time we came back down at the end of the day.

Still, Hidden Falls has a lot to offer with facilities.  I know I haven't been around much lately and at this point I cannot tell how busy I will be in the spring.  We have been out of work for so long the job we are starting now is very high priority.  And, it will last for over a year, bringing a bunch of work to my part of the company.

I'd like to work on the old red Jeep and I'd like to do some more to the purple daily driver but if I can break loose, I'll find something to take.
