Yes, only 10 Suzuki rigs for this year... While the large groups have their advantages, there are certain things you just can't do when the train of vehicles gets quite long. We plan on doing an entirely different route this year and will need to be more agile as a group.

Hope to see you there.

PS.  Bring a winch, that is winch, not wench, since I do not see my little green girl having one anytime soon.

How much lift, lockers, winch required or recommended? Running mostly stock gear but need a good excuse to get going on my rig and would like to meet you all.  If Drone is going down I might just follow him if space is available.

Derek,
Last year I flew out and purchased the 2000 Tracker 4 door (bone stock) from Sir Eric, and had a blast. I even did 95% of what everyone else was doing. I think I only skipped on the trip to the bottom of hole in the ground due to almost guaranteed rocker panel damage to a stocker. So I joined the geocaching group instead...

I'm probably a bit too late, but if there is room, I'd like to go.  I'm still bummed to have missed it last year.  Will this be a "base camp" type run (i.e., should I bring the camper and trailer the LJ), or should I just drive the LJ down there?

I see airbag signed up early - maybe I can steal his spot - I mean give him a ride - if he doesn't get his rig fixed in time! ;)

I had to do the timing chain the Tracker sounded like a diesel one day, when I pulled it apart the chain guide from the top of the head was broken off and laying in the middle of the cam chain.
than the rear crank seal went out I need to get that replaced.
I'm getting about 120 miles the quart of oil.
and the dreaded front right drive line seal.
The silver lining is that I got a 4x4 accouter pump from a junk yard for $15 as a spare.

Hi Keith - There is no limit on attendance and I'd love to see you come on out. If you decide yes, send me an email with your information. There are new instructions on the very first post of this thread.

Thinking this is a tradition I need to uphold now...
I have the Samurai torn apart in the shop right now, but I plan on completing the work in about 3 more weeks.  If not, I can always bring the Deuce  :laugh:
No, I won't have any droids for sale. 
And no, the unimooki isn't done yet either.  Besides, it isn't street legal...and that's a requirement for this trip! 

Eric, I'll email you once I'm sure I have a rig to bring.

When are the WA people heading down - Thursday night or Friday morning?  I'm leaning towards early (i.e. 5am) Fri. morning, heading east over Snoq. pass, then down 97, as it's a bit shorter for me, but if the weather is bad, I may head down part way Thurs. night.

Yeah, it's the squirells, rabbits, birds, bear, and the rest of the animals that are methodically and systematically stealing from the plant growth without compensation. We will be the voice of the trees. - but  we will not feel bad using wood products for our signs and build a nice big camp fire to keep us warm :)

Better make it official, I'll be attending, just sent you an email Eric.

In Winter weather, a headache I regularly have is my door locks freezing up.  Never ice in the lock, key goes in fine, just won't turn.  Key fluid doesn't seem to help much.  Heating the key with a lighter normally takes care of it.  Any tips from the experts on this?

Minnesota logic here... WD40 in the key slot to get everything lubbed up and functioning, and then the thinest oil you can find. My favorite is power steering fluid. dip your key in it and then slip it in the key slot. Wipe up eveything when you are done. You will have the slickest door locks in the neighborhood

As it is, I'm typing this message from out in the shop at 10:30 PM, taking a short break before I dive back into work. 
I was honestly planning on bringing the samurai over in the Deuce, and wheeling both of them!
Maybe next year...

Anyone look at the weather forcast? Depending on the site you go to they are forcasting as low as 12 degrees. Looks like coolers will be used to keep liquids from freezing. I hope my 12v electric blanket shows up in time. if it does I'll be bringing an extra battery to run it. Anyone else making and "adjustments" due to the forcast?

Driving up i-5 yesterday and my tracker started knocking from the low end..........guess i'm out........next year.

Did you sign up? What's your name please? (send me a PM if that is more comfortable) I'd like to cross you off the list so I don't have to call you on Friday. :)

Thanks, Eric
