[bj-666]

don't think griz is gonna end up making it but i'm still looking from company on the ride someone has got to caravan with me:wave:

[ClassicXJ]

I'm heading down on Wed... Griz and Justpunchit are supposed to be heading down there with me...

you want to meet us somewhere brandon?

[bj-666]

sure looking at the mapquest directions it looks like i'm on 95 thru conn. not sure how you guys go to get there. 95 is like 15 min from my house so we can meet where ever is good. is griz comming now last i talked to him he said he wasn't sure and might not be able to go.

[Menzenski]

I'll be heading down NY Route 81 on Wednesday. If you guys will be taking that route at all, I could meet up with you and caravan the rest of the way.

last time i talked to Eric, him and Griz were not going, thats why i'm not going to make it, justpunchit was going to trailer me down with him, since he backed out, i just don't want to drive 5-6 hours by myself.

Shame there's no easy way from R.I. to get to I-84 near Waterbury (or I-681 near Meriden). Then you could run a smooth 84 all the way into Scranton to get to I-81 South to Hazleton.

MUCH, MUCH, MUCH better ride (even though a few miles more) than western CT on 95, across the Tappan Zee, 287 down to 80 west through Stroudsburg). That way is going to suck big time anytime during daylight hours, especially later in the afternoon!

Then again, who knows with the way road construction is going on the Interstates these days. Even the normally open runs are getting hosed from time to time.

At least you'll have a nice weekend in Paragon at 2mph.

EXACTLY!!!!

now all these bastids up here are backing out... i'll stil be there even if it means driving the Yota and riding beotch with someone..

[ROBZ95Xj]

Hey Ryan and Brandon, what time are you 2 meetin up, cause Rob squared wants to head down with yalls.

[sidriptide]

Ryan is out.....(cough loser cough)

[nhrocker]

Why are so many guys backing out? I've still got a list of stuff I need to do to my rig and I still plan on being there! I thought I was going to be driving down with all you guys wednesday, but now it looks like we'll only be able to meet up with Brandon...what's up with that?

[bj-666]

anyone passing by Gizz wanna pick up my new spare from him? :) and quit being such bioches and go to nacfest

here is my cell if anyone can help with the spare pickup or wants to meet and caravan give me a jingle (401) 309-9216 and o yea i'm Brandon.

[nhrocker]

Grizz PM'd me about picking up the tire on my way through. As of right now I'm picking up the other rob (robz95xj) on my way through Keene, then if all works out, hopefully grabbing the spare from Grizz and heading down towards you to drive down together. I'm still working on my rig (and the pouring rain isn't helping...) so Grizz told me to let him know if I can't make if for any reason. You can PM me or talk to Rob about the when/where's, cause I'm pretty busy trying to finish stuff up, but he always seems to be on :laugh3: I figure since I know he's already been keeping track of what's going on all he has to do is tell me when to pick him up Wed. morning and where to go.

[ClassicXJ]

Yeah like Mike said (Thanks) I had to back out earlier this week. I would love to go but I just can't justify it right now. I mean the XJ is still on jack stands in the garage from the B4W run 2 weeks ago.

That stinks. Was this just from that brake line or did you have something else I didn't hear about go wrong?

[ClassicXJ]

the brake line was broke, my exhuast tailpipe fell outt my muffler, the rear diff skid u-bolt snapped in half and 2 of my tires are leaking air around the bead like crazy. I know they are all easy fixes but I just can't seem to find the time to fix them.

I will be leaving during the day on Thursday from Columbus, OH. Is anybody else going to be traveling from around this area?
Later,
