Lincoln National Forest trip - May 27 - 30, 2021

[balakay]

I'll let it get a little more "set in stone" before I request vacation but that weekend should be no problem. A late start Thursday would be good because I get off work at 7am Thursday. I can come home, load the truck, and then sleep until it's time to catch up with yall.

Well this should give me time to get a new radiator and GMRS radio for the truck. Or knowing me, I’ll wait until the week before the trip to get those items

Fucking truth right here about me as well

Ha, glad it’s not only me who does that

 

[balakay]

Buddy of mine is interested in joining as well. Gave him the link to this thread and told him to make an account.

 

[MatthewMay1]

I’ll probably put in a request next week for vacation Fri-Sun. Can always change or delete my request but earlier is better for my company’s planning

 

[Silverback]

My neighbor might join as well... he would be a passenger.

 

[balakay]

I'll just have to put in vacation for Thursday. I'd take Monday off as well for a buffer day but hard to pass up double time holiday pay.

I hope my brother from Colorado joins but the biggest part of that will depend if he gets the new rear axle, gets, and lockers installed in time.
Sounds like this could be a good size gathering. Not going to limit the number since it always seems like people fall off and we will make any size group work.

 

[Silverback]

What rear axle housing did he go with?

What rear axle housing did he go with?

Built 8.2 from a 4runner. Dual air lockers, and pretty sure beefy CV axles but I cant remember. RSG in Denver is doing the work. He just got front and rear Lil B's bumpers installed

I've wanted to put a fab'd rear housing in the Taco for a while.

Agreed, we’ll make anything work. My Arkansas group is gonna be upset after they learn I did an Ozark run without them. Haha

Let me see what’s going on and maybe I can also squeeze this in.

Looks like my sammich maker is out. I have to check a few things to confirm my days.

 

[Anathollo]

Wish I could make this trip but my wife's due date is the following week (first week of June) so I can't be too far from her.

 

[Silverback]

Oh fuck dude.. didn't know there was another bun in the over! Congratulations! Do you know the sex yet?

 

[tx_shooter]

Pretty sure at this point he has the sex figured out. Or at least one of them does.

Yep, we're having another girl. So like most of my life, I'll be constantly surrounded by women

Vacation posted for May 27th. Let's see how much I can get marked off "the list" by then.

Needing some input from the interested parties.
To help with time off, schedules, and life, would there be any objection to leaving Friday around noon, trails on Sat, Sun, and Monday morning, then come home on Monday?
