Yeah I'm thinking at least two canopies so we can have a bunch of room covered incase of rain.

I'm thinking this might be a good site to pick up some stuff for ECXC.

I'm still 100% in and leaving on Wednesday to meet up with the NeXterra Caravan on the way thru NJ.

My 3 weeks of out of town work just stretched to 4 weeks. This will leave me with a day and a half to get ready for ECXC.

1- Adjust front bumper and trim up some more sheet metal ( guess I didn't trim enough the first time I installed winch )
2 - Adjust Sliders ( bent one last time at Rausch and is loose )
3 - install Alcans and shackles ( if they come in in time ) please no vibrations
4 - front end alignment
5 - Fill Power tank
6 - rotate tires
7 - install front brake lines
8 - install fuse block ( I can skip this )
10 - Install Gobi Ladder
11 - Pack the X for the trip
12 - Meet up with NeXterra somewhere in NJ
13 - Have a couple Beers at Camp with the Crew

I could def get this stuff done in that amount of time but I don't know if they will let me work on the X while the shop is open. May have to do all the running around during the day and work on the X at night while the shop is empty. ( May need some help on the 15thwith the Alcans if you are available Keith or anyone else in the Kenilworth, NJ area )

That sounds like the list that I've got to get to before ECXC.

I may have to work the 14th and 15th, but if not, I could possibly come down and give you a hand; we'll see how things shake out.

My List:
Try to pop out dents
Re-install front spacer (gotta have an extra inch for the challenge 8) - gotta keep up with those guys on 35's)
Adjust Cam Bolts
Alignment
Install rear brake lines
Replace rear rotors / pads / e-brake shoes (getting sick of not having an e-brake)
Install new fuse block
Re-wire roof lights
Install / wire reverse lights
Re-fill Powertank

Guess who just got in his Fed Check!!! 600 bucks!! WHOOOO :2712:

Putting that money aside just for gas and the camp site!

Does anyone know how many miles it is to PA? and what maybe the Gas prices over there?

About a week ago, gas prices were similar to MA (about 4.05 - 4.15). The smaller gas stations were a little higher. NY and CT seem to be higher.

Hey Dave if I read correctly your in Kenilworth, NJ right?

If so we'll more than likely take the same route as we did in previous years and that includes going over the Tappanzee bridge. To avoid NY congestion.

But we'll be going from 95 to 287 down to 78. And your right off 78 so we can meet you somewhere right after 287 and 78 meet up. Sound good?
