@bobbywalter was talking about dropping off his Bronco II since he has to be somewhere else. I mentioned you.

And the Belle of the ball has to stay home?!

Poor Ranger...

I’m less than a hour from Tunkhannock. Could use my driveway as a staging ground, just rather not tow it all the way out to Carlisle behind my ranger.

I can even come get it with my trailer or whatever. Honestly with all the rusty trucks in my front yard, I doubt the wife would even notice.

I love it when a plan kinda sorta almost comes together.

Poor Ranger...

that thing that identifies as a ranger..... has sapped all of the resources of time and money....slated for the ranger.


but....bobby may be able to bring it out. If it had a gep engine in it i would just have him tow the b2 out with it and meet him there so he could ride to jersey with me.... but it needs some work to tow in those hills. with no turbo it would need to be in 235 85 16's..... the cab is entering full flintstone territory... and the wiring needs to be tossed in a dumpster....i have had a fresh harness for it....for 4years.... and there is sheet metal piled up in the garage...and some tube......rusting away....most of the stuff for full hydro...but i gave away some stuff because guys were down and you just aint going to walmart for that.......

he thrashes the shit out of it....he had it so stuck with my street tires on it i had to sling it out.... quite possibly the worst it has ever been stuck except for the time it fell through the ice and went to the bottom of houghton lake when it was brand new.

that was because the frame was wounded and he could not put the 42's on it....and he was instructed to not....NOT take my street tires off the road...i have no idea where he gets that shit from....

the thing is...its not promised he can go yet. the next few weeks are critical and he is still not feeling right.


i drive the truck every day when i am home... but its not normal....its a cantankerous old IDI diesel.....where the bronco you just turn the key ....well if it had a key.....and go. it has three pedals....but all of you guys know how that works.

the ranger requires some secret squirrel training.

I got my info packet and sticker for Carlisle today. (I also got my Ford Perimeter Plus alarm/remote start unit… can you guess which one I opened first? Hint: all my vehicles have had remote start since the late 90’s.)

 

[Curious Hound]

Just had a thought. GMRS walkie-talkies might be handy for this event.

I was planning on bringing my pair of Midlands. Maybe Jim will leave his set in TRS-2 when you get it.

 

[Snoranger]

In case it was hard to see, I circled the area they assigned us.

I have a pair.

I also got my stickers and map in the mail today.


There are some interesting club names on the list.

Me too. We be good.
As it looks on the map Gate 3 is the main entrance at 1000 Bryn Mawr Road and where you want to enter.
Section HH is at least a level area as I recall and not up on the hill where we are at the Ford Nationals.
The green sections at the upper right, yeah, that's a hill.

Second HH is at least a level area as I recall and not up on the hill where we are at the Ford Nationals.

Yeah, that’s the bottom of the hill. I haven’t been there in years, but I’m pretty sure you’re right.
We’re also pretty close to building T, where TRS2 will be.
