LOL PA is even worse than VA about vehicles. We want to go somewhere warmer, preferably like Arizona or New Mexico in an area that has 9 months of summer and 3 months of unbearably hot summer

I WOULD love that... so much stuff to do too! We really love the houses and stuff in the Gilbert/Phoenix/Chandler/Mesa areas.

I'm going to work on another job opportunity which I know will be coming up in northern Arizona next year in June... got my fingers crossed

Nothern AZ is nice, but Flag is its own world. How to say it...? Lots of hippies, and its expensive.

You would love the inspection laws... or lack there of. Only one county even has emmissions laws.

Man... I got that PM Tony, and I must say, it got me excited. I will have to see what is what. My b-day is just 2 weeks after.

Yes... I look forward to it... should be a fun birthday if Joe is in town for us to use the course

PM sent... I see your little smiley guy eavesdropping

**LuckRider** · 06-09-2010, 06:48 PM

I assumed he already knew. I looked earlier... 410 miles from my zip to yours. That is a little more than 1 tank each way. I am figuring it will take 3 tanks for the weekend. If I do get to go, I will be climbing those meats with the Rubi.... I want to see it flex.

I still need to fully flex the Rubi. The last Jeep was totally limited by the shocks, not the swaybar. I want to see if it is the same thing with the Rubi.

I mentioned it to him at some point IIRC, didn't really go into detail though.

There is an RTI ramp not even 3mi from my parents' house, just have to call ahead and let the guy know we'll be using it... I bet your front bumper kills your approach angle and you shall be DENIED!!!

Just fill your Jeep with gas, if you end up staying with us then consider your meals paid for/taken care of.

Trying to climb 40"s with 31"s will require a helper like a 2"x4". The problem exists because my tire will try and climb under yours, then bumper would be the least of my worries

If the second part is true, I have to treat you two (and Zach if he also stays with you) to a delicious home cooked steak (to order of course).

Sounds good, we'll probably be too busy/tired to go through the trouble for steak... appreciate the thought though!

If you can make the trip for the whole weekend, we'll definitely need to swing over by my parents' house and play around with the welder and send you back to NY with something cool

**LuckRider** · 06-09-2010, 07:22 PM

Now that would be kickass. I still want the chance to play with a welder. If I go, it would be for the weekend, and that is why I was thinking steak. I was basically thinking it through a little while at the gym...

Leave on Friday by 5am (hopefully at 4am). Get there at about 12-2. A little Jeep time before, who knows what else is planned... Enjoy some wheeling on Saturday. Leave sometime Sunday. I am working with Zach from AtoZ right now designing some rockers. I would love to have them by then, but if not, I would just work with the Rubi guards.

Damn... I am really getting myself excited. I need to make sure I will be free....

flatlander757 · 06-09-2010, 07:42 PM

I don't get off work until 5:00pm, so you may want to leave a little later than that... I'll give you my work address if you want to chill out in the parkinglot though

I can possibly take off part of the day, 3:00 probably won't be hard to do

**LuckRider** · 06-09-2010, 07:49 PM

Where exactly do you work? I was also thinking of possibly picking up a BESRK bumper while down, so maybe I could get into town and head over to see Eddie. I would save on shipping.

He'll be getting an invite too, we'll see because I know Saturday cuts into his "production" time.

Where I work sent to you in txt message... BS company policy

2006_Sport · 06-09-2010, 08:03 PM

I'll probably be stayin at my Gmas house down the street from your parents house, Tony. Can't wait, I guess I'll go buy another u joint to accompany my only spare. And I should prbably buy a tow strap.

**LuckRider** · 06-09-2010, 08:05 PM

I will also need a snatch strap. We broke my recovery gear trying to get out my uncle's 2500 HD Chevy this winter. I pulled him out 4 times before it broke.
