Mmmm....sappppp :drool3:

i have a garage i can work in, but im gonna havta brrow tools which i cant get in touch with my buddies all in one shot...
As long as the weather stays nice, my friends gma takes her car out and i can work in the 2car garage space, but i can just as well do it in front of my house...

Plus iv had some homework trying to catch up on and being in the academy alll week has hindered my daylight.
Besides, id feel much more comfortable with someone else giving me even the slightest hand, and maybe youl be enough to scare murphy away :viking:

Tomorrow is no good, Brendan.... Thursday is good. What time is good for you then? I have just about everything needed to get the install done, just needs to be done by hand.

As for the day trip, this Sunday is no good... I might be able to do the following Sunday, November 1st...

Depending when on Thursday I might be able to come down and lend a hand. Even if I just stop by for the end, I'm sure there will still be a little work to be done, plus it would be considered a mini meet.

Could probably bang it out quickly now that we've done Marks lift already. And since the end links aren't going to bother us.

Bob (BOT) ? or Bob (blaze) ? If me then it depends on the weather. If it's clear, I need to get on my sliders. I wanna do a Rauch Creek run asap :drive:
I can't weld or paint in the rain so probably count me in for incliment weather.

Just FYI, Rausch does not allow you to go solo. There has to be at least 2 vehicles for the run.

I'll post to see if anyone's interested for a run. If not, there's a guy about 2 blocks from me with a lifted jeep, says he's usually down for some trail runs. I called Rauch and they said if you didn't come with with others, there's usually someone else in the same boat or a good amount of groups won't mind if you roll with them.

I'm interested. I'll just have to see if my interest doesn't get hindered by other things. There's supposed to be some kind of birthday party or something that I might have to attend.

Just an idea... maybe we could keep this as a running pre PLANNING trip thread, but through many mouths I hear of rocky and hill filled trails in North NJ... more on this later!

Perhaps we can start some sort of NJ trail library? If you know of a trail, post up pics, location, details, etc...
