It better be BIG! haha

what can those of us that will only be 20 do? I'm all for drinking but i don't wanna hinder everyone wanting to hit up the bars.


andddd you need to hurry up and set a date in stone so i can request my days off. would anyone be willing to split a room? gas is gonna kill me.
We won't be going to a lot of bars. We will drink at the hotel and such. I'll hook you up

You could come up Thursday. I'll put you up for the night, no problem. When it gets closer to time we can get everything set in concrete.

Gas is gonna kill me too. I am figuring about 8 tanks of gas. LOL

its not bad with the price of gas now... ~$200... but in June it may be close to $500 *cringes*



NVM ABOUT THE DATE the red was hard to read June 18-21 got it.


depending if I'm running 5.13s, 4.56s or 3.55s will be the major factor in how often we have to stop lol... I should be able to get 200 miles on a tank with the 3.55s and 4.56, but the 5.13s are gonna kill me, as well as being limited to about 70mph

I should have a job lined up and my apartment set up in March when I go to NC for spring break. So I should be 100% by about April.

Alright , I needs some more info .

Dallas Guys and Matt when will we meet in Dallas to drive up Convoy Style , granted a RHD Jeep TJ is going to stick out .

Ben , asuming I dont get laid off in the next 3 months (If we make it the first quarter we will be ok) and gas isnt over 3.00 gallon Im in , Definately want to make a big trip . Also would the place mind me camping in there parking lot , as I have the TJ set up for this .

Katie , are you really sleeping in you car ? and have you found a place that suits this . Not being Dirty at all just having the same thaughts as I can sleep in my cargo area of my Jeep .

Matt , Assuming everything works out and you dont have a roomie I split a room if I wind up going but I cant promise anything for a little while (2-3months)

Hey bro, room up with someone... its only 90 bucks for the weekend, and we would be honored to have a TJ in the mix... no worries. Just come and have a good time. I'm sure there will be a bunch of guys that will at least let you use a sleeping bag and lay on the floor in there room. If i have to make arrangements I will. The wife and I will sleep outside before one of my guests to this meet... Don't worry.

Ben what route are you taking ?
Just checked , Dallas Guys what route are you taking ? I may be to far out of the way to meet but depending on route I can join half way in .

if it does and i have the cash to still go, you can ride with me.. i don't like driving alone anyways.

yea, it'll be a while before i know for sure.. but its 6 months away.. i'm sure I can stash a few pay checks away between now and then.. I think chuck may be splitting a room if he can make it, but your more than welcome to stay in there too..

dunno what the route is yet, looks like I'm gonna go up to dallas the day before and stay there so i don't have the extra 4 hours of driving that day.. and so i can't really be late and hold everyone up.

hey now... i am the KING of breakin' **** in parking lots.

I think a nice 'nature' shot would be a great touch on what's shaping up to be an epic trip..
