Go ahead and count me in fellas! Dont pour the concrete yet, Id rather wait till I KNOW the funds will be there. If I were to come, I might try an gather a friend or 2 together, add to the fun. May not be Dodges though, the boys I used to run with have some badazz Sammies, and them boys know how to wheel! But, at least the wifew and I are down, for sure!

Are there any places to stay around the area? Id love to do a whole camping trip type thing, but a hotel would suffice. If Im looking at 3-4 hrs each way, plus the whole day of wheeling, might be best to crash somewhere (no pun intended )

Im still trying to figure out exactly where it is. I think Charlotte is about 3-3.5hrs away.

On a side note, hows this level Im about to throw on gonna get along with the trails? Does it affect anything/mess anything up by articulating and crap? Just curious, I plan on getting on with the nitty gritty Already losing the running boards, before the trails snag'em from me. And Im pretty well-versed on the supplies: Full size spare, couple tools, ****** strap, but any reminders/other tips are cool.

Looking forward to this guys, been talking the wifes head off about it. Can't wait for work to get going, Im gonna be squirreling away whatever I can to make sure this happens. Might be my only vacation this year!!

Running into a couple snags already guys, as far as the necassaries (sp) go. I have a spare, just happens to be the factory one. I dont have another 295/70 to tag along with. Another big one: Recovery points. I can find a spot in the back to get snatched from, but the front is another story. No hooks or nothing. Maybe I can just get away with not going as wild as I want to? Im not looking to tear anything up anyways, but I know anything can happen on the trail.

As Ive said, things are gonna be tight enough as it is just getting there. I can't really do a whole lot more. I hope this don't knock me outta comission. Whata yalls thoughts?

we're not doing anything crazy maybe some mud here and there but for the most part trail riding and hanging out. you don't have to do anything crazy just what you feel like doing.

+1 I have to drive my rig home, and cant afford to fix nothing either, so dont sweat it. my spare is not the same size, I have no front hooks just a trailer hitch in the back. So come on, and only do what you are comfortable with. and dont waste alot of money on stuff just cause it is on the list
