PIC

Ill be without my J10 again this time... i'll either drive up the Dodge and ride trails w Lobie, or drive my CJ5 up.

We have the camper de-winterized, the Jeep is operational, but the calendar is fouling me up. I thought we were going to be just ducky, but we have Cub Scout Twilight Camp, a HotWheels show, and two farmers' markets hogging the weekend. I would say that at least Aaron would be there, but he's in charge of the racing at HotWheels so I don't know. *sigh*

It's going to eat at me if I have to miss two years in a row. Mama needs to get on the trails now that the baby is old enough.

calender

phooey!

[GaWag]

Going to try to make it this time around. Hopefully the Jeep will be good and ready by that point. Going to try to convince my girlfriend and some friends to tag along.

If it works and I go, you and I could convoy up. I'm going to try. Haven't been in years.

Sounds good . Just so you know the Chero isn't so hot on the highway, so it would be a slow trip haha (wobbly at ~55 - still trying to figure it out).

[Green Giant]

You can just do like we will do and wait until the week of the event and start working on it

Or on the trailer AT the event..........

15 days and counting!
Hoping to get both jeeps up to ECI this year- may be the last year for the Choptop. Need to par the fleet down some.

It will be great to see y'all!! Two of the baddest FSJs east of the Mississippi!

Working on getting everything together! ECI is getting too close too fast!

14 days and my heads are at a machine shop, my CB still isn't hooked up, my fire extinguisher isn't installed, push bar still needs to be sanded (and painted/mounted), still need front tow points.

GAH! I'm going to have to crack down after I get off work Saturday (getting heads back Friday) and after church Sunday. I want to get it back on the road by Sunday night. Hopefully CB will be installed tomorrow (radio is in, just need to decide on an antenna location and run the wire). I should be able to get the push bar cleaned up the rest of the way tomorrow and put the bed coating on it. Let it dry overnight.

I also need to get my shorties milled/surfaced (they are slightly warped which doesn't help my exhaust leak issue).

Wish me luck!

I feel ur pain.

Were leaving on the 8th and my tranny is waiting on parts

Wishing everyone safe journeys to, from and during ECI. Will be watching for stories and pix.

[2nd Day]

It's great to see this thing still going on. I remember when 2nd Day (where ever he is?) and I and a few others started putting together the first ECI way back in 2003 I think it was... I was never able to get my 82 cherokee there for any of it but the first pre-run due to tranny issues.

Maybe this coming year in my "new" '91...

Seems like forever ago doesnt it. I still remember the first one in 2003 at Telico. That was a good test run for all of us. Uwharrie has definetley been where it needed to be and I am so proud to be able to say I was a part of it. Still got my pictures from the Uwharrie runs up right on top of my computer.

Miss those days lke crazy. Thanks to all for keeping the dream alive. Next year for sure.

[SIUADOG]

Newbie here, hoping the Wagon will make the 5hr trek to Uwharrie.
