So if you guys are trying to leave at the ass crack of dawn on Thursday then you'll probably beat me to PA. I'm planning to work half the day and leave after lunch. That should put me there around 6 PM or so. I'll probably go check into my hotel and then come to the camp site to hang out. You guys will be there by then won't you?

planning on being there as soon as i can be... wanting to leave around 5am to avoid traffic, probably find a cracker barrel along the way, but other than that straightlining it to the campgrounds so i can get a bearing on what and where things are.

i'll post my cell in the clubx section.

hey do the yurts have showers? if not, you guys that have no way of bathing can use ours. we got an extra bedroom too (i think) if needed.

Yeah, the Yurt's have everything except ac and outer walls!

Zero is crashing at my place Wed and we're going to try for the 5am start time too. Need to get past the loop before morning rush hour.

Man, I am excited!

I'm hoping to be on the road by at least 5am thursday. Yeah Trey, we'll be there by noon thursday hopefully.

I think there are hot showers available to anyone at the campgrounds.

F*ckin stoked!

Sweet then I'll just see you guys around 6 or 7, just in time to put back a few cold beers.

Geez, Johnny that's a lot of trucks! I bet that was a long day.

i say 5am thursdat, but it wouldnt surprise me if i himhaw around and get a late start. i got to pack in the morning to avoid the possibility of my truck getting thieved with all my cool stuff inside.

6am is probably more realistic, and no later than 7am...

F*ck!

My 4runmer trans started shifting hard at lunch so, I got back to work.. Checked the fluid, it was low but, wasn't dirty nasty so.. Ok, I'll top it off after work. As i'm putting the dipstick back in.. It starts spitting pink milky shit out of the radiator overflow. Aww man. I think my trans oil cooler took a dump & leaked into my coolant.. Which means my radiator is junk.. But, I can't drive it anymore because I don't want water in my trans so, I gotta tow it home and do a radiator and a trans flush, gasket & filter. FML. It sucks but, I'm glad this didn't happen on the way to PA.

oh man, that makes me remember that i still have to put my tranny cooler in my yota and bypass the stock.

if you need, i can tug your trailer. i dunno if i could fit all of us in the runner but if thats the only option we can make it work.

i had the same thing happen with my transam the last time i drove to ct for the vintage rc nationals, but it was the inline power steering cooler that puked into the cooling system (and vice-versa)... took forever to get all the damn power steering fluid out of the cooling and had to get a new power steering pump since it toasted the one in it.

...fortunately the steering rack wasnt messed up.

Eh.. It should be good to go after I twist wrenches on it tonight. Gonna have to get a new radiator.. Do a coolant flush, trans flush and hopefully thats all.

Otherwise I'm buying a new vehicle! Haha. The bank wont give me 22k for the 08' taco but, they'll give me 12k. I don't know what I want in that price range though. Don't be a machinist! They are poor folk!
