Myself and another SS member are heading over to Columbia. SC this coming Sun (July 31) to pick up a truck Monday.
Mike (SCSG-G4) has generously offered to put us up for the night.
We will be doing some planning on the menus for each day of the rally.
Wed. nights pickens may be sparse...
I have pulled them with a Dodge Dually and a big lowboy.....a standard transmission is better for pulling heavy loads.......I had to replace a torque converter from pulling deuces.
You do not need to own an MV to join the madness.....you will have plenty of folks that will allow you to ride in their vehicles on the trail rides and the hardball convoy (if we make it happen).
If you have money in your pocket you might drive a vehicle home...there a plenty of "Green Iron...

Let me be the first to say hello and to invite you the the upcoming GA rally in Oct.

Algae will actually grow in diesel fuel......water is your enemy.....fill the container (whatever type) completly full (leaving a small headspace for expansion if it will be exposed to changing temps).

I use a cheap set of big...
I will be leaving early Wed morn to beat the afternoon rush hour through "Hotlanta".
I need to be on site Wed afternoon to meet up with Mike and get the MKT set up.
If anyone is leaving that early get up with me and we will make plans......if you are coming from afar I have room at the LZ...
There are some members on the site that have access to that information but I don't think anyone has posted an exact number.
As I understand it there are officially no deuces or 800 series trucks left in the Active Army inventory......that does not mean that some have been overlooked and are...
Nothing will make you hate your companions more than erecting a GP Medium or Large unless you have done it several hundred times and have it down to a science.
I would reccommend looking for the ARFAB aluminum framed tents. They are easy to erect, covered with vinyl (as opposed to canvas), and...
What ever you do (or have done) load up the General and make tracks to the GA Rally in Oct. We are hoping to break vehicle and personnel records this year.
