[Slolyfe]

Just did sliders and modified flat bed for a tool box. Sliders were a pain in the a$$. But are definatly never coming off.

[Blingn]

  two more days people  looks like half doors and sliders are not going to happen.  I will be there though and see you guys at the springs.  We will see if I like the yota more than the xj on this trip

Dude, I cannot believe you didn't put sliders on the rig.  You're gonna beat the hell out of it without them

you hitting the trail on thursday, or you just going to the trailhead?

[fordh8r]

you hitting the trail on thursday, or you just going to the trailhead?

Actually, a buddy of ours has a house in Tahoe near the marina. So we'll be staying there Thursday night and hitting the trail on Friday morning and coming down Cadillac. 

Makes it kinda nice so we don't have to hit the trail after the 4 hour drive and we can do any last minute shopping in Tahoe so we don't have to carry everything the whole way up.

[Reynolds]

Well my truck is ready to go; got a new hub/rotor assembly installed, "special" lights hooked up, hi-lift mount made, action packers packed and racked and that's about it! I will be greasing all the u joints as a last minute thing after work tomorrow (Wed). Leaving the east bay around 2pm on Thursday from work, camping at Loon Thursday night and starting the trail on Friday morning Get to Buck, camp there Friday night and continue to the Springs on Saturday morning. Weee!
