Oh yeah.  That run is why I am getting the hell out of here!    Just kidding.  I had already made these plans before I had heard about the Raven run.  Where do you wheel most of the time?

I've been to Reiter once, and I loved it.  That is why I am going back.  I'll give you a heads up when I'm heading up there next.  How is your rig set up?

Mine was stock once upon a time too.  Actually, just less than a year ago!  I had a blast wheeling it when it was stock.  I can really appreciate how well my current set-up is when I have those fresh memories of wheelin' a stocker.

Welcome Rockaholic. .That's a pimped out toy you've got there .

Thanks!  I still have alot of upgrades on the list.  Currently collecting parts for a GM 4.L3/SM465 swap.  I hope to get that done next year.  Next upgrade is a flatbed.

[SWAMPER]

You might wanna post the swap and the flatbet info/pics on the tech section or get a buildup thread
