This is a WIP, I'll update throughout the week.

 

I and @MellyMel will be there Saturday after turning @ETXTacoma into 4WD again

 

I'm in for TTR camp. I'm guessing thats @hoarder23's plan also. Speaking of TTR I am a member now but havent gotten on the member only FB page yet. Time to send an email. I'm in for Sunday breakfast, @trekker @MellyMel and @ETXTacoma are planning on going to Gilmer for dinner saturday night.

 

I will bring beer and OJ and sacrifices for the skillet

 

I think I've got 1lb of chorizo ground beef I can bring. I'll check tomorrow.

 

Went ahead and checked and I do have it. I'll throw it in the cooler to bring. Just needs to be cooked up!

 

Sounds great!

 

I will be at a bunkhouse up by the Pavilion as I have the lady and baby with me so they can have a nice place to nap and feed if needed.

I can bring eggs (a dozen or two sound good?) for Sunday morning, what time you thinking for breakfast so I can drag myself, the lady, and the baby to TTR camp.

Also, planning on going eat at La Finca in Gilmer for Mexican food and Margaritas Saturday night for dinner.

I may want to call ahead and make reservations or let people know a group will be coming if other people want to join.

I know of a few guys from East Texas that will be coming as well just not sure how many or where they will camp or if they are staying that night or what not... they are pretty vague on plans.

@hoarder23 pretty sure Marco is coming, at least he said he was.

 

I’ll be there at the break of dawn Saturday, staying just for the day though. I’ll be at Arklatex. I’ll swing by and say hi if I see you guys. Our camp is prettt overgrown a lot of weeds and stumps need to be cleared in preparation for Jambo visitors.

 

I will try and swing by the Ark La Tex camp and say hi if I can. I am a part of that group, just didn't know about the cleanup until after I had planned the day run with the East Texas guys and then everyone else started to come.

 

OP updated. Thank for for everyone willing to contribute food.

 

I don't think we'll be able to join y'all for meals, but if you need us to pick up any forgotten or last minute items in town when we go back to the hotel feel free to let me know.

 

@Naveronski will you still make or are you on your way south to keep the taco trucks from doing Gods work?

 

I'll still be wheeling.

We've had guys along the border for years now. Pay sucks, food is good. It's been a volunteer mobilization that works well for unemployed single guys.

 

Some bad news. I have become a maybe for wheeling this weekend. Went to grease my UCA ball joint today and the greasing nipple ripped off when I removed the grease gun. Now the grease just oozes out the top. Dont think its safe to take it on a long drive and especially think wheeling would be a bad decision. Now I'm gonna try and get some new ball joints to me by friday but that means if I cant find them local I'll need someplace to ship them tomorrow and have them over nighted to me.

Anyone have an extra set of SPC UCA ball joints?

 

Email SPC they will likely warranty them, play dumb, don't admit fault, just say it came off while greasing.

and you should be able to find a threaded zerk fitting easy enough. @dwaltdtx you carry them?

 

This is why I posted about them. Great ideals to give a try! I'll email SPC but I doubt they will get them to me for the weekend. I can try and get a zerk but I wouldnt be surprised to find out the threading got messed up.

 

Find out the thread pitch and run a tap through it, or limp out to Steven's place on the nice smooth highway and I'll bring you one of my spare non-greasable ones.

 

You'd likely be fine for a weekend, even of shenanigans. Grease will stick around for awhile, even with an exit point.

Email SPC tonight and find a copy of your invoice to send them because they won't warranty parts that didn't come from an approved dealer. http://www.spcalignment.com/corporate/contact-us

 

Tried to fill out the form to send the email from that link but the capcha isnt working. I'll call them tomorrow.

Regardles it sounds like I will make it out with either a new zerk or from borrowing a ball joint from @trekker
