    We(I) already kinda have yours planned...remember the full fender protection etc...

    It will be...I plan on being there early. I should have all who want a set 95% fabbed up for those who want a set at the meet. All that you will have to do is weld them up when you get back to a welder(some cutting on the tubes may be necessary for proper fitment).
    I can have them built(minus all the fancyness like Jeff's)

    My schedule is dumb.

    I am WAY outta the way if you are coming from DC.

    I have an '06 DC and a '09 x-cab here at the house...I know the measurements for the 96-04 reg and x-cabs...I also have a 89-95 x-cab and reg cab here..oh and I also have a '79

    I'm complicated. Front fenders. Then there's probably enough room to run something over the rear wheel/bed side unless you just wanna wait for the rear bumper for that one.

    And I won't even get into detail about the removable cage for the rear door once the tubing goes over the roof ;)

    Which do you recommend? I'm new to this so I would like to know what someone that does this for a living thinks. I have read many debates on it and it seems that DOM is stronger (well at least doesn't have a seam) and HREW would do just fine as slider/bumper material. I think if I had the choice and I did a full on cage I would choose DOM.

    Do any of you guys have a need for a Wilson 1000 magnetic antenna? If someone wants it I will bring it to the meet and you can have it. No $$ needed.

    I think we're getting close enough where we can start discussing things we're bringing that the group will be able to use...such as grills/firewood/etc

    I'm supposed to go out to the farm this weekend (if the weather lets me) and cut some wood off some of the trees the timber cutters have left and i'll possibly bring a grill if i need to...i'll also have 2 or 3...maybe 4 tarps and a lantern with some propane

    I have a really dull axe and a puppy.

    And a 2 burner coleman with a double sided skillet/grill top. Badass for breakfast.

    Seeing the third gen section forced me to get a Ford...
    i'll have the usual....charcoal grill, propane grill, tent big enough for mcgee's tits, boat, tools just in case...regular recovery gear, etc.

    hopefully we'll have a couple groups so everyone can be in their own comfort/ability levels and be lead/followed by ppl that have been there before

    I can't offer to bring much. I'm in the process of moving so everything is packed away into storage. I can bring a few extra beverages though. :D
