[Trail X]

Todd, hope you can make it!

Brendan, sorry buddy, was hoping to meet you. Maybe at Rausch this summer?

I would like to finally take my truck out and get it really dirty, seeing as Massachusetts doesn't allow anthing larger than an ATV on ANY of the trails in this state.......

Put me down as tentative right now, I have to see what the schedule looks like, I know I have 2 back-to-back weddings in May, just not positive when they are so I have to make sure I have the vacation time. Seeing all the other TECORE videos on youtube really helped me decide to put the lift and tires on the truck.

It looks like I'll be riding with Kyle for the weekend!

Details are still being worked out, but that's what it's looking like...

As long as I can get some cash flow together for the trip I am good, cause as of right now i have those days off.

[Trail X]

Just to get you guys hyped up a bit, here are the videos from Tecore I and II:





Can't wait.

[janesy86]

Motha f#@ker I really wish I could make this, but my girl has me booked to attend a wedding of people I don't even know...

Plus work has me swamped that week, my co-worker is taking the week before and after TECORE and I have to cover all my companies quarries in the Northeast so no break for me.

These vids are such a tease to me.... Haha Have fun fellas.

Like I've said before I'm banking on a Sept. trip, that is if you guys are up for it.

[Gordinho80]

Very much looking forward to this! Can't wait!

Oh, and a Sept trip sounds good too...

I met up with and had lunch today with AlekG....we are both very interested in making this event, and are in the process of figuring things out.

I really want to have a set of skid plates for this trip....hopefully I can work something out with Barton and he can meet me there with one so I can save on the shipping. I love having a lifted truck, i never need to scramble to find a jack hahaha.

Are we doing any driving at night? Because i have no extra lights other then the factory headlights and fog lights.

You mean the ones that I don't have in stock, haven't ordered (don't have any orders), and the ones made at our shop that's so busy we're going to have to start doing some in-house stuff outside?

If I put in an order today, I MIGHT have them done by time to leave for the trip... MIGHT...

I can get them done outside, but won't get them done at cost, so price will go up...

Wait... a "set" of skidplates for the trip? You also doing the fuel tank skid from Neilage? The production radiator skids definately won't be ready to go by the first of June...

ETA: I just put in an order for 4, anyway... I asked for a SWAG lead time, but even the one I get will probably be pretty optimistic compared to when I actually get them...

But no, I don't order the next batch until I get the first order of the next batch... Except this time...

Just checking in and confirming. My only issue is figuring out a frontal recovery system. I am getting a brushguard in the middle of may minus hardware and mounting brackets. so I am thinking I will have to cut/chop/build a bumper concoction for the trip. I got a nice set of tow hooks, but there is not much for mounting places.

[Zero]

I also have to get my tow hooks put on.

[Trail X]

Skidplates will be handy and so will recovery hooks.

I doubt we'll be doing many/any recoveries, but I guess we'll see. I'll at least be ready if we need to perform one. It's up to you guys to determine your recovery points.

[HARDTRAILZ]

I got a frame, so it can always be wrapped or somehing. I am not worried about hooking, just trying to abide by the front and rear recovery points rule.

I should figure out some anyway, but been holding off til I get to a final front bumper plan.

[foosh]

Hey JD, add me to the list... looks like i should be clear that weekend. Right now i'm working at getting my front end up (its sagging like crazy, i'm lower than irishboy's front end by almost an inch) Anyone that knows of any ext front springs for sale please hook me up!
