I'm sure more will want to go.

Are you headed out Friday? I won't be able to get down there until about 6PM Friday. We should get a meet up spot figured out.
I’ll post a waypoint and coordinates for the camp spot on Monday.

I’ll probably be there around 8pm Friday night. Maybe a little later, but hopefully a little sooner.

Well the truck is pretty much roadworthy again but don’t think I’ll be able to make it. Work has picked up for me for a little while I gotta get it while I can

Exactly! When I make this kind of money it’s much easier to stash a savings for stuff like this. But when my checks are standard 40 hours it’s dam near impossible to justify spending 1k to the wife hahah

Speaking of lockers @AssBurns you down to help me set up my gears when I get around to it. Front locker at the same time and keeping my spool in the rear

As any construction job goes shit can change at a moments notice

Then change again 30 seconds later. lol

This week I built a high wall with a window in it to plan. Architect stopped by and didn't like it's placement. I moved it after getting a change order signed off. Next day the GC comes in and asks why the windows moved. I tell him. He takes a photo and sends it to the owner. The owner fucking hates it's placement and I move it again. That wall should have a max of 4 man hours in it. It's got 12. lol

I know the feeling. It’s nice to get a little extra bonus/OT cash for this kind of stuff.

But it’s not forsure I’m working, just anticipating it. As any construction job goes shit can change at a moments notice
Just keep us updated if you come. We’d love to see ya out there.

I’ve never set up gears before, so I probably wouldn’t be the best person to ask for help. If I did know how, I’d totally be down to help out. My skill set is the same as yours. Welding/metal fab.

Dam, thought you were a jack of all trades lol. I got lucky when I installed my spool. So i understand setting the backlash and have done so successfully but the pinion depth is where I need some guidance.

I’ll forsure let you guys know if I can make it. If I don’t it’s very high on the list for this season I’m sure you guys would be down to go again

Hahah I’m really good at wingin’ shit and learning by the seat of my pants, but gears have never been something that I was willing to gamble on. ECGS makes it too easy to let them do it right the first time, plus back it up with a 5 year warranty.

I gotta grab the welders when I can. Either way I still have a day open next weekend.
No welding. Need to drill out the rivets which I’ve been told is a bitch. Plus I need to try and remove my stripped lug nuts ... also might want to swap the stock rears in to sell the king off ASAP

Yeah let's take this to the socal thread (or text) so we don't fuck this one up. We'll figure it out.
