Hmm, well what should I build for this years trip. First year was the Wranglers maiden voyage, last year I was tightening bolts on the trailer as we were loading it... I have several things planned for the Wrangler that should get done before the trip. But I have this POS Eagle sitting in my driveway... I have a D30 front axle with 4.10 gears already, a nearly new set of 33x12.50 goodyear mt/r's on black spoke wheels, a selection of coil springs available, tools, mad skills, access to a ford 8.8 with disk brakes and 4.10 gears... :what:

No better not.

Lots of "ifs" for the project to happen this summer.

If I get a job, if its in the area, if I have a place to do it, if, if, if...

You could just skip the fabrication and assist with "building" the route

Should I still bring my surf board?

Not sure, I just checked the surf report and it said "ice".

We'll be spending time close to the big lake, where waves are known to roll. And plus, it just looks cool to have a surf-board on top of the H3.

the H3 just looks better with a board on the roof.

X2. That is something you don't see too often in this region!

Now I have to figure out if we will be getting a Camping Labs RTT or just a new Eureka (I get a nice fat discount on them).

I thought the RTT was already delivered?
