    ok...lemme know what u guys think. me, eddie, and shane are leaving here around 3pm to get there around 4:30-5. i think we're just going to go straight the yates place camp. so if anyone else is coming that doesnt want to go straight to camp/dont want to try to find it on their own, they can call me or nate or will and go to eldorado outpost and we can bring them down. my number is 803 464 2500. if the other guys wanna post the numbers, they can go right ahead or they can PM them to the others if they see fit. Below will be the address to eldorado and some maps that i've found of the area. I'm thinking we're going to be at yates place camp since its free. i also found out that a 10 day fishing pass is $5 (supposedly) and a year long for NC resident is $15...go figure. the one day passes for riding are $5 per vehicle i do believe, so we'll have to go to either eldorado or somewhere else to get passes anyways. i'm thinking that after camp is set, i'm gonna ride up there to the outpost anyways. just chime in here and lemme know what u guys think. especially brandon since he's been there before. if anything changes, one of us three (me, will, nate) will let everyone know that has actually given me their name/number like they were supposed to. hope for good weather fellas!!

    sounds good hodgie!!! for everyone that doesnt have it.....my cell number is 803-448-2027. i think me and nate are gonna stop by eldorado on the way in......go ahead and pick up some maps and stuff. weather should be good this weekend. hopefully, since brandon has been there before.....he may be able to show us around a bit.

    jhodge............call my cell when you get into uwharrie, then we can go back to eldorado after setting up camp. finish picking up whatever else we need.....plus passes. probably need to get firewood too.


    and my last question for everyone going.........what are ya'll bringing to eat??? i know im bringing deer sausage and stuff for breakfast, plus snacking stuff, and stuff for snadwiches....plus beer!!

    every 30k......but i switched mine at 20k with some mobil1 synthetic 75w90.........i think you'll need some gear oil with the lsd modifiers already in it.....or buy the gear oil and add a tube of it!

    man.....i cant wait to see all our trucks.....gonna be kickass!!


    oh yeah.....rear diff is easy as pie, but if your spare is under there, buy one of those small hand pumps....like for changing oil in a boats lower unit.....makes a world of difference!! changing the spark plugs is easy too......driver side front plug was a pita though.....barely room to disconnect and reconnect plug in for coil pack.

    first thing is to loosen the fill plug(they are tight as hell), then take out the drain plug on bottom(make sure to drive a bit to warm the gear oil up), let it all drain......i put a jack on the driver side rear to help with draining, the put plug back, fill till it starts running out, screw fill plug back on hand tight, go for a spin round the block, then fill till it runs out again.......should be able to get a bit more in there. then tighten it all down, and you're good to go. i let mine drain for about 15-20 minutes just to make sure it got all the old oil out. be sure to clean of the drain plug magnet too.....mine had alotta crud on it that smelled like musty,sweaty feet:D. easy enough process though.

    Ok, i'm gonna bring two coolers (ice chests for you idiot Texans out there). a booze cooler and a food cooler. For food i think i'm just gonna buy a buttload of those pre-made sandwhiches from bi-lo, some chips, random snacks, water, gator aid, tp, camping gear tooth brush, etc.... prolly nothing i'll have to cook cause i'm lazy. maybe hot dogs. hey hodge, is this a rustic campsite or are there toilets and showers and all that? Like i said, anyone that needs or wants my number can PM me and i'll get you my work cell and my personal cell. i have nextel and verizon, and will has ATT i think. we'll be together so between teh two of us we should have a signal at all times. I dont think either one of us is familiar with the park but we are two poorly educated rednecks, between the two of use there is almost a 50% chance of getting you where you need to go.

    nd, as far as i've read, it has toilets and no potable water. there are other camp sites around that have showers and running water. so unless u wanna take one there, u better take one before u get in the truck on friday, spray on loads of deodorant, and hope for the best!!
