Bob you forget I will be bringing BOTH of my GPS's so when you get us lost the nagging voice on the dash will be telling me where to go :lol: but stopping at your place on the way up sounds cool, perhaps MarkBrake can do the same as well.

Otherwise the ol rule of thumb applies ...the first one to break down or get stuck does them...

I was keen as but i have just got the O.K from "she who must be consulted" to get a new bigger engine for the suzuki :P :lol: :wink: :D :twisted:

But dont see there being enough time between now and labour weekend to get all the required mods done :(

still have to get front hilux axle under it, new power steer, rearend chop, (could get all that done) but add new engine and box and it all gets a bit much.

I like Skids plan quit work and 4wd full time. If only it paid. :?

take lots of photos and maybe that will convince me to stop modding and start driving :D

HAVE FUN :P

I had put my name down for Jerry's trip, and still considering joining this one but will need to get tow hooks sorted by then. So add me to the list but as a possible rather than a probable.

Hooks easy....Give Stinky (Marty) a call 384 4141 , should be easy on a jeep, and you have a couple of months to get them done. there will be Shiny options too.
