I'm PROBABLY not going to make this round in Turkey Bay. My gf has the weekend off the 19 and 20.... and she's SUPER jelous of my TECORE trip. (she should be super jealous, it kicked a$$)

I could be in, as well as a co-worker with a never-wheeled (and neither has he) 4-door JK Rubicon.

I threw in the people who'd responded to me via text or on here. So, if I messed up, feel free to FIX IT!

I have serious doubts that Jason or Matt would drive out to Indiana from NYC for a wheeling day.

We were all on TECORE together. 12 hrs for them. They are considering it because I'm planning to be there both EDIT: Saterday and Sunday. Either that, or they just want to stare at my rear end again.

At this point I am a maybe. There is a lot of work that has to be done on my truck to be wheeling ready. It is all going to come down to whether I can put the money for parts together in time. On the list is complete 4.10 rear end, rear control arms & pan hard bar, upper and lower front control arms and ball joints, cut front fenders, and figure out why I shredded a fan belt this weekend.

So the 19th and 20th... Is this going to be camping out at the campground at the park entrance that weekend, or what?

I plan on it. So far I'm the only one planning to camp. My dad says he's looking to buy a truck camper or he will drive out to a hotel. Do you have other ideas?

I'd probably camp. Likely, my sister will come along again, and she would likely bring her camper (It's small, and could really only be her and I sleeping in it. Just 1 bed and 1 fold-out futon/couch) behind her E-350, and I'd bring the TB on a 20' car hauler behind my truck. Though, even if she doesn't go (and nobody else goes, that could haul her camper), I'd just tent camp.

I'm planning to come down with my TB and a pop-up for my gf and the 10yo boys.

I am trying to swing this, but the baby will decide. I would camp there by the gate, but there is a couple other places they show on the website...problem is you have to pack up and drive to them, where by the gate you can could out to campsite for lunch.
they've always worked for me.

I think being able to do lunch at our campsites would be good.
