Yes JD, I understand that, but it would be very easy to move stuff with the body lif since there will be more roomm in the engine bay to relocate stuff down or to another place.

So it looks like its gonna be the weekend of the 4th, now we just have to figureout which day to meet and such.

Looks like it might just be me and the Green Monster...Bot, we'll just have to bring a lot of recovery gear in case we both get stuck...

Seriously, anyone else interested, worst come to worse we can change the date.

We know Bob is interested. I think it is enough notice for schedules to permit. Worst case, anyone not wanting to camp can meet up to wheel with us one of the two days.

I was thinking about the weather and my incredible lack of camping experience. Call me a wuss but. . . :poke: Don't know how cold it's gonna be next month but it's gonna hit the freezing mark this week at night. Not good outdoor sleeping weather in my opinion. I stop riding my motorcycle when the temp hits freezing too.
I'm still down for all day wheeling with you guys 5 or 6AM till whenever. I will even do both days :viking:

You can always hobble to a motel or something if it gets too cold. I was planning on having a propane heater on deck

I only live an hour from the Atson gate. No biggie to scoot home and back. I'm sure I can find you guys in the day. Tecore 2 was the first time I have gone camping in probably 25 years. Bought a small summer tent like an idiot. I learned 2 things.
1- Get a bigger tent
2- Get an air mattress to go in that bigger tent.
My back was hurting for a week after sleeping on a camp pad and sleeping bag. 3 herniated discs don't help.
