We are trying to have a veterans parade in Baton Rouge Louisiana, It would be the first for 40 years. hoping to get some army trucks lined up for this event. Oct 30th at 200pm.

If any of the area guys want to come join in shout back and we will make plans to meet up. I'll keep this thread updated as the meetings get new information out.

Thanks and let's all have a safe parade

Oct 30? That's 2 weeks before Veterans Day! I don't know whether I'll be back from NC by then.

We are getting some trucks together for this parade end of the month looking for local vets to ride in some trucks

i think i am going to sit this one out, when my sprag transfer case decided to kick in at 45-50mph on sundays ride the driveline bucking jogged the rear suspension enough to kick off a upper dogbone and loosened up a couple more, so i am going to weld tabs on em all till i have time to replace all 12 joints, then i want to have time to run enough miles to be satisfied that the issue was isolated after i verify linkage adjustment before i cross the mississippi river bridge again, one thing to have it bind up the driveline when you have a shoulder to escape to, nowhere to stop on either bridge. how dare this 49 year old POS that i am guessing has sat the best part of the last 10 years have a random failure

Thanks to juanprado for letting me ride with him in his HMMWV tomorrow in the parade. My bobbed deuce is still waiting for the Ouverson rear locker to arrive before she gets back on the road.
