RE: !fla rally

Congrats on selling your tractor Kenny! What will you be driving to D-man's rally?

RE: !fla rally

Looks like my pickup truck. I don't know when I'll get the dropside from TN but no way I can get the SF97 and title in time. Would like to take the crane but the cab is still at Dmans awaiting some welding and I doubt I have the time to pull off the swap for the event. Hate being MVless for the event but I'm still going!

What, you can't drive it with the old cab?

 

[Recovry4x4]

RE: !fla rally

Clinto, it has no wiring harness. Feeding the new one in with the cab in place is a pain in the butt. Thats too much work for nothing in my opinion.

 

[clinto]

RE: !fla rally

Understood and agreed. Carry on.

I will add this. Desperate times require desperate measures. You never know what I'll do with 2 weeks to go and no roadworthy deuce.

RE: !fla rally

Excellent news Kenny. I'm pleased for you bud

 

[wreckerman893]

Kenny, I still have DD's towbar and access to a Dodge dually with a gooseneck trailer.
If we can make it down to the rally would you be interested in having your dueces delivered to the rally?
I could tow one with the 5 ton and we could haul one on the flatbed.
Let me know.

 

[Recovry4x4]

Hmmm, let me think about that one Richard. Any thoughts on how much to get them to your place, or cost for the whole ride to the rally?

Well I got back up to the property again this weekend.. Didnt get jack accomplished for "work" but I tried! Tractors and other things seem to like to break and parts seem to be hard to come by when you NEED them.

However... Things are lookin pretty go thus far for the rally... only problem so far is it's DRY AS A BONE up there so the Pinz guys might be out of luck on a mud hole this year. If ma nature doesnt give in I might be track hoe'ing a hole out but the current water table might not even allow for that.

Plenty of open space for camping and a lot of new clearing as well as trails...

 

[Recovry4x4]

I was just going to bring this up to the top when I saw that you posted. I just tried to prepay my tickets but it wouldn't let me. I'll drop off the cash! Looks good!

 

[devilman96]

Also...

I have had a LOT of people pre buying tickets thus far... Thank you!!! The 10$ is a small ammount but it is really helping to pay for some of the deposits on things like pot'a'poties! Not to mention it looks like were going to have one heck of a turn out this year!!!!

[devilman96]

I am thinking about taking an off highway route to the destination . . . .

I am VAGUELY familiar with Richloam/Green Swamp - but does anyone know if my listed route might work . . . . which is to say do the roads that appear to traverse the WMA actually go through?

 

[dc3coyote]

Hey Tj Maybe we should convoy up there
I live in Tarpon Springs

Sounds good to me!

 

[sak00]

I maybe wrong, but I run richloam all the time. The powerlines are basicly the boundard. I have not run across anything that goes straight through. That 471 up to Hwy 50 and take a left and then south on Hwy 33 ( only a few miles).
