Things needed:

Good idea for a few to have those Motorola type family walkie talkies w/ear buds for emergencies and what nots.

Pray for good weather!!!

Mike- I will also be bringing my M 1009- Trying to talk the wife into driving it I'm also thinking about the Wrecker- No promises, but may take the old girl out. I also have a 40' city bus, if that kind of transportation was needed. Just an FYI

Aaron, do you want to mount the light rack on your truck? I was hoping to find a SS w/one already mounted on their truck already. Hmm like a wrecker or somekind of MV

 

[datsunaholic]

Unfortunately I can't make it- I have a race that weekend, and being that I own the race course AND the tow vehicle, it's kind of imperative I be there.

Mike, No desire here to carry the light rack on my truck. If you want to mount it, I can ask Amphi to get it to me or I could pick it up. I think it woulld be more important for the last vehicle in line to carry a sign that reads "Convoy Ahead" to warn drivers coming up fast on us. What say you? Also, I like the idea of a 24vdc set up instead of 12.

My wife, dog, and I would love to attend, but it is a little far from Idaho to drive a M35A2, and money is a little short this year

 

[wsucougarx]

Nah, don't want to mount one either. I'm hoping 5 ton tomatoe brings his wrecker. Then we'll have our light situation taken care of and tow bars for break downs.

Thanks for the interest wiggall. Maybe next year!

 

[amphi]

Don't blame ya' there guys, I wouldn't either. I still have though, if you decide to use it.

 

[Hammer]

Wow, just won a XM818.
IF, and a big IF, things go right, I might have the 818 and 35 along for the ride!

 

[AaronW]

Thats great Hammer! Thanks.

Congrats on the win!

 

[Hammer]

Thanks.
Funny part, I am fairly close to having 16r20 super singles to have on it for the trip!

 

[wsucougarx]

was it a Barstow 818?

 

[Hammer]

Yes, Barstow.
I normally avoid bidding on vehicles from there. They are not normally in the condition that I like.
But the 818 looked in pretty good condition, and I couldn't resist it with those nice XL tires already on it.

 

[AaronW]

We are quickly approaching one month to go! I need to know who is or might be spending Friday night here prior to the convoy.

To make it easy, just "Thank" this post to give me a quick head count.

Thanks again to all for the support of this operation.

 

[Josh]

im having a little electrical issues with my truck at the moment, but if its ready to go before it, you can count me in.

M35A2

 

[wsucougarx]

Hey Josh, you and Canislupus (Bill) can convoy up together as you guys are both in Portland. May want to PM him to coordinate your plans

 

[AaronW]

Well, It's official now...no turning back....full steam ahead....because the Port-A-John is ordered!

We are just a short month away. Still time for those of you undecided to join in!

 

[wsucougarx]

Good thing we're meeting at Cabela's rather than the Capital....LAKEFAIR (July 15-19). Parking and MV driving would have been a nightmare not to mention the parade is on that day starting at the Capital grounds. Hmmm, we could really raise some eyebrows however Anyone want to crash a party???? LOL, just kidding
