Will have to come swing by and say hi

Alrighty, flagpole is ready to roll. Also, this is why I can't have nice things. Make sure you bring your (small) state or local club flags. Will have an OB flag up instead of the American flag. Just hoisted what I had to strut a bit. *flip flop for size comparison*

As we are getting closer, everyone got the warm and fuzzies about the event? Just getting off work after 2 weeks so will be doing a few more odds and ends to get everything prepped up. I'll try to get a more solid plan in terms of camp marking and details as they come available.

I was reading the discovery route thread on the website, pretty sure it's not going to be anything insane. I can update (starting on monday) on the difficulty but from a different start.

Alrighty, we have a flag pole. Going to do a bit of work to it. If you want, bring a small burgee (10in x 15in, mariner here) of your state or local club. I'm going to try to build a spreader set for it complete with flag halyards. If all goes according to my cocktail napkin we will be able to...

I will try to establish a good area to hold everyone, will have a flag up, and everyone (OB or not) is more than welcome to come meet the group.

I'm starting in KCMO but I'm originally from South of there. I'm headed up the Friday before, spending some time back home, and starting the route on Monday. Depending on how long it takes we may be in Springfield early and will be bumping around the area. I know with VIP, camping can come in a...

Sounds good, not sure what time but maybe around noon. Coming up from houston so that's an 7hr drive. Have a BBQ joint from my old stomping grounds I plan on grabbing dinner at. Will definitely keep you in the loop.

"2 weeks" prior to run. Not sure the actual dates. Ill be zipping through OKC on 35n headed to KC the Friday prior to.

You, @Bad Sport, and @DixiePhotoArt going to try and do the discovery run together?

I could get a flag and pole if there are enough responses and attendees who are willing to group up. Would love to have to get one.

Also got the new fart vents installed. The factory flaps were letting all kinds of debris in with the new bumpers, these should halt that.

0/10 don't recommend lol. Looks good but a raging PITA. Antenna mounted inboard of factory roof rails, radio mounted down by air pickup for the blower motor. "Decent" enough (better than in the glove box or console) air flow around it plus an easy access to through firewall. Hope to get a semi...

BRUTE FORCE FAB for the win building the front and rear bumpers for this thing. Dude is super helpful, does amazing work, and cant recommend him enough.

While I'm showing off my... expertise of ratchet straps and a comealong... here's the cheapest way to build out a winch. Buy one with steel cable, toss the steel in the recycle bin, get you some amsteel blue 3/8, a solid thimble, 45ft of chafe sleeve and 2 beers (dont forget these, cheaper is...
