Scheduled run for October 10th - UPDATED - PLEASE RE-READ POST #1

[Sprockett]

Meeting at the store at 9am? There is no time in post #1

[specialk]

Meeting at the store @ 9 am is the usual place and time.    Let's go with that unless Todd posts something that states otherwise.

[w squared]

Okay, here's the recap:

People so far:

W Squared (the guy that will get us all lost  )
Sprockett
Muffintop
Turbojohngt
Allanbr?
Whiteout?
SpecialK (The tailgunner that will ask W Squared why we're so lost  )

Meting time/place is McLean Creek store at 9AM. SpecialK will have waivers for all of the non-members to sign. (Thanks Kevin)

Vehicle requirements are:
Minimum tires: 31" MT's
Front and rear recovery points
CB

Personal requirements are:
Kids are very welcome - this is a family oriented club! 
Warm clothing for everyone in your Jeep - including a hat and warm gloves
Plenty of water, lunch for everyone in your Jeep, and it's a good idea to bring something like an extra box of granola bars

If anyone is bringing a lunch that requires a stop for BBQing, please let me know at the store so that we can plan. I tend to bring sandwiches, but I don't want to rule out a hot lunch for anyone that's big on that.

That's a total of seven rigs so far - probably too much to do Quirk Ridge in one pack, but we could do it in two groups.

If the weather over the past 24 hours is any indicator, there will be snow on the ground, making some of the climbs pretty interesting.

Count me in.

Update:

I'm out 

My uncle's truck threw a rod on his way through Nanton, and I'm going to give him a ride to Missoula tomorrow. My apologies for cancelling with such short notice, but it's unavoidable.

[WhiteOut]

Crappy luck Todd, I was just gonna post that I can't make it since I have to slave at work over the weekend

[specialk]

Sorry to hear that Todd.  Bad uncle.    

The run is still a go.  I can take over leading duties if no one else wants to.  I'll tail gun for anyone.  Any takers?  Anyone? 

[shayu]

If it is not too late to join,count me in pls~~~

[specialk]

Soo... who tail guns if specialK leads?

I've had people PM me about tail gunning me.  No worries there. 

I don't mind leading.   wsquared's rig requirements stand.  See ya out there at the store for 9. 

[Tagg]

I'm planning on being there.  Spent several hours last night putting in a cb.  Will tune it tonight. Hope it goes well.

[Avalanche]

[muffintop]

[dubbleJs]

Wont have a CB until Tuesday... looks like I'm out 

Doesnt look like Ill have my cb in by tomorrow either....control arm joints are taking precedent tonight....

Im shooting to be at the store for 9ish!....dont let it stop you im sure we will figure frs out or something.

Pull the oil pan, yank out the bad rod and piston and drive it to Missoula    Hmm if it holed the block, could be a problem with coolant and oil leaks tho... not to mention direct injection into the oil pan if it's injected.

Soo... who tail guns if specialK leads?

He probably thought of that - I don't know for sure that he holed a cylinder, but he's got 40 years of turning wrenches on diesels under his belt  . I'd wager that if there was any way to limp it into Missoula, he'd have 'er figured out by now.

Wish I could make it for the run but heading out of town for family stuff tonight. Still haven't sorted out the CB thing, have to make time for it. Looking forward to Oct's meeting. Looks like a good group heading out. Churn some soil for me, be thinking about yous all while on the road in a "not jeep"
