    Update 4/6:

    Hey everyone, I'm postponing until Sunday April 29th. I'd like to wait for warmer weather to insure all salt is off your trucks and the FF is warmer out of the gun to get a better spray. Same process as before. I'll Spray the entire underside of your truck with the commercial sprayer, it's best to give the truck a good power wash and remove the spare tire before you get here.

    $40 per taco covers everything. I'll also have coffee and donuts on hand for everyone attending.

    Id like to carve out a 9am to 1pm. Everyone is welcome to hang out, just keep in mind I'm in a cul-de-sac with lots of kids around so be careful driving in and out of the neighborhood. I'll post the address as we get closer.

    Other vehicles are welcome. I know in the fall we had Jeep's and FJs rolling in too.

    Looking forward to it. This will be the 3rd FF meet. If anyone has questions let me know. I also have lots of references

    K, working on convincing myself the 3 hour one way drive is worth it. I know some one that works at Black Hog, but that's another hour.

    Worth it.
    Climbing under your truck & seeing it isn't rusty - worth it.
    Climbing under an old truck that isn't rusty - worth it!
    1 winter & there is a BIG difference in what was / was not FF'd last fall. :-(
    Yep, worth it. A specific date always forces you to get that round tuit.

    I agree doing it is worth it. It was done in the fall, had debated about the spring coating, but now I am going to do it. It's my need to be economical that gets me, 3 hr drive, miles on truck, gas and tolls just to get it sprayed doesn't add up for me. But I would enjoy meeting more folks from here.

    I keep saying i'll just spray it myself, but that round tuit....
    besides, a long hot drive on occasion is good for the truck, mine doesn't get that too often. ...and the people as you say.

    Lol, my truck gets miles in the summer for sure. Headed to New York at least twice this summer for music fests, and ill head north to Moosehead at least once.

    Round tuit = bought every thing I needed when got the truck, wasn't confident in my skills or do I think my compressor will handle the job, so I just bought an unlimited 3 months of washed at a local car wash. That resulted in me getting in a wreck cause I was killing time one day and found a wash I could use, came out of the wash got all turned around started heading the wrong direction, turned into a McDees and hit by oncoming traffic. Lost my truck for almost the last month of the unlimited pass.

    So long story short I get it.
