Nick, are you going to start a swap thread? I have a springer seat, bench seat, relay box for 5 ton, turn signal switches, signals and covers if any body was looking to buy at the rally. I hope the ohio crew shows up to out number the indy crew. should be a good time.

O.k. sparky the http://www.steelsoldiers.com/midwes...12-spring-dust-off-swop-meet.html#post1091507 thread is open for business. You better edit your last post before the mods' edit it for you.

Got the Mkt all buttoned up and road ready tonight. Tires aired up and canvas repaired. Now just gotta open it back up and put supplies in the day before we leave. Also going to changed out all fluids on the M109A4 before we set out. Thinking it will be about a 5 hour run for us. We plan to depart Mt. Vernon il at around 7 am local. That puts us in Terra Haute about 9:30 am. Anyone wanting to join us can meet up there. Looking forward to the weekend!

Well looks like the misses will have to work that Friday. We will be looking at heading down Saturday morning.....that shouldn't be a problem would it?

Just don't want to make it a pain to drive the truck in with people around. With the gates being closed at midnight...when are they going to be opened back up in the morning? Hope I won't miss too much on Friday.

No worries finger come in what ever you have to camp in. Mine and the wife's first rally we ended up camping in a tent and taking the wife's ramcharger, so your more then welcome to come camp with use even if you don't have a MV's. I highly recommend it if your looking to buy a MV to come to a rally first, then you can learn the ins and outs of the trucks first then its a lot easier to buy one, do to the fact you will have some first hand info to buy on form attending the rally.

I won't be able to make it, start new work schedule on Tuesday and have to work every other weekend. This schedule will allow me to make Haspin.

Hate to say, we are a "no go" at this station. I'm on call! (I really don't like being on call!)
God bless,
Tony

I plan on being there but ant sure if i will be driving a MV.. wheels seals are leaking and cant get the seal and get it in before the event but my duelly will get me there..
I got a question tho.. I got a PRC 77 and it worked fine then it got UPS'ed and now wont pick up a signal from another radio.. It all fires up and looks right just no words come out of it any more.. It needs recalibrated again i was told from a radio guy? i also have a few sets of PRC 6's and 1 has something wrong.. its hard to hear out of it.. will there be anyone at this event that can fix my radios if i bring them?
