Poorboy, I am thinking of following what Garmin's MapSource tells me: Hwy 6 N to Waco, then I-35/35W to Fort Worth, then 287 to Amarillo, I-40 to Gallup, NM, SR666 to Monticello, SR 191 to Moab. Plan on leaving on Saturday morning, May 20 from Houston, and staying somewhere overnight around Amarillo. Don't know details yet - I am waiting to see if a celebrity within XOC and other forums will be riding with me It would be cool to try an caravan with you guys, if it can work for everyone.

We are going to try and meet the SouthEast guys in or around Amarilo on Friday night. Abiel (from Mexico) will get to my place near Waco on Thursday night after a long drive. We will head out Friday morning. I would guess Jonathan will come over on Thursday night? We too will take 287 to I40 and hopefully meet the others. Anybody is welcome to crash at my place on Thur so we can head out early Friday. All these plans are still in planning so we are flexible. Is your "Shotgun" Scott H or Jim

Swapped the springs and an AAL is on the way, but not before gone. Would have sucked if the whole packed snapped on the trail. The crack was partially hidden by the U-bolts.

No confirmation on a celebrity shotgun - don't think he is coming . . . but maybe However, I am bringing a friend who is a serious mountain biker. Also, I rechecked the route and think that I will take a right at Albuquerque and then left (North) on 550. Installation work on skids, rear bumper w/ tire carrier, and lift start tonight - target completion is end of business Thursday.

We don't want to have to extract broken studs out on the trail at night :rolleyes: . See you guys there .

Got my HD Torsion Bars and HD TRA's installed today. Got an alignment. Will probably install my Calmini IAB tomorrow. Looks simple enough to do. Painted my wheels. Now I just need to figure out how to pack it all...

Man, I'm beginning to think I'm not suposed to go this year.. I had my truck at my mech friends place for almost two weeks now, he was installing the gears, and a new clutch. (Was going to add the front LSD too before all the SAS hoopla) Now it turns out due to his ASE testing all last week and Mothers day over the weekend, he hasn't gotten squat done. Looks like this'll be just another IFS, OE LSD week in Moab for me. No big deal, I like a good challenge , but next year, I'm swearing right now and here, I'll be SASd, locked, and geared.
