Updated the original post I did not put the time or days near the places with the names, as to not clutter it, and well aint nothing really set in stone, but its the best that I can give you all right now.,

I can't speak for the other guys in IN, but I think I do speak for all of us when I say that 2 of the 3 days need to be on a weekend... I can take 1 day of vacation, no problem, but I can't take 3 days...

Mike

[mikepeters1983]

i know that, and I am going to do my best to try to get to places as fast as I can, but its sort of all I can do with the way that the army is. I don't want to impose on anyone trust me. I mean worst of the worst, have a few beers when every one gets off of work, and just work on it then. as for everything else I am sorry I really tired to do my best on the timing.

[bartonmd]

I know you don't mean to inconvenience anybody, but the stuff we're planning on doing here will take 2-3 full work days...

If you're talking about evenings, Kyle and I are local, but everybody else would be traveling to work, so would probably be out...

I could maybe take the vacation, but I may or may not be the only one, and with 3 people, it's a solid 2 days of work if everything goes right...

I don't mind taking a couple days of vacation, but if your leave changes, and I have to have my days scheduled a month in advance, that's a problem...

Do you know, yet, the "for sure" date of your leave?

That would be my only concern as well... I'd love to meet up for a day of wheeling, but it'll be tough to do midweek, unless I get a firm date, and even still I don't have much vaca time.

So hopefully it'll work out and we can wheel.

[mikepeters1983]

As far as I know that is the date that they gave us, so that should be it and good. I should be starting on the 15th. If I can start leave sooner then I will as to make it there quicker, and most likely I will not be starting leave any later then that.

[bartonmd]

OK, since I don't know the time you'll be going on leave (you mean after work the 15th, or you're done the 14th, and can leave the morning of the 15th? etc.), can you figure out exactly when you'll be here, and I'll get my vacation scheduled... We'll also need to hear from Kyle and Matt, to see if they can do this as well...

Mike

[mikepeters1983]

I will be leaving on the 15th at midnight, and will be having a second driver so it will be non stop driving.

[bartonmd]

So if you're leaving midnight Friday night, that should put you at my house on Sunday morning... If both Kyle and Matt could be here on Sunday, they/we could get the suspension and body lifts done on Sunday, and you and I could do the sliders and bumper/skid installs on Monday...

I willbe doing the SUS, and the A arm flip before I start this trip. I will also do the alinement and remove the front bumper and bracket, and the step the rails before to. I can also try to see if I can find a good cheap little place to get the body lift installed before I leave. I really don't want to put anyone out of there way.

[bartonmd]

If they can do the body lift on Sunday, I can do the sliders and such on Sunday evening or maybe Monday morning... No big deal... I was planning on taking 1 day off, anyway...

That should work depending on when the wife decides to pop. I don't really have any extra vacation time but will do all I can.

If that will work that will be great. If you want I can still see what I can do about seeing how much local shops wil charge. Last time i HEARD 650 IS THE GOING RATE.

[bartonmd]

Sill need to hear from Matt, but there's no sense in you paying $650 to get a body lift installed... If Matt can at least be in, or even just you and me, we can get the body lift installed on Sunday...

Well I dont want to push you and everything. And if we were to do that, well then might have to get a few cases of beer and steaks with all the trimmings for everyone.....

[HARDTRAILZ]

I will definitely try to help. That is a 100plus per hour for the install. Kinda rediculous.
