Sorry Lobie. I got alittle sidetracked there. Do I need to register with someone for the ECI 2014 or do I just show up? This would be my first outing like this. I mean I have camped, but nothing like this.

Just show up.
There will be a tent near the bathrooms/showers where you can buy shirts and raffle tickets.

I know this is probably a dumb question, but I'm gonna have to work Friday morning. (usually off by 9 am) would I still be able to camp for Friday and Saturday? If so, I'm in.

I already asked for the days off. So I'll be there. Also I've never been before, so dumb question can a stock 80 Cherokee make it down the easy rated trails? I don't mind scratches but kinda want to avoid dents lol.

I would say stock can do 60-70% of those trails.

So, is this the year some of our cohorts from out west join us? :P

It might be a good excuse to get away from snow for a week, I'm pretty sure we won't still have snow in June like you guys will!

I need a shorter to do list!!!!!

-full size axle swap
-body armor--rock sliders, under body skid, rear bumper with quarter panel slider (won't realistically get this done in time)
-winch mount
-finish chopping rear wheel wells- gonna be lots of tedious welding involved

wishful thinking

She's ready right now, but I want to put on a 4 inch lift, DPA, extended brake lines, sway bar disconnects, shocks, tires, etc.... Waiting for the lift to be liberated from donor right now. Hoping I can get her done before ECI, I should have time. Surfwaggy, you have a long list, but I know you are steady plugging away, I am sure you will be done.

There are 12 of us all ready for this year.
If the trend continues, a lot more show up than signify early.
The opening page of www.cfsjc.com has a landscape pic of a typical ECI gathering.
I hope you can find your way here--this year?

I think we'll be good. The only critical thing right now is to upgrade the proportioning valve so we can have rear AND front brakes... I don't think that's too much to ask! :P

Maybe a line-lock, but who knows.

I'm also thinking of fixing the windshield washer to help fight Uwharrie dust!


How about you, engine swap going to be "done"?
