I wouldn't tell someone not to do something (it's none of my business) but the following things should be considered:
The Ga. Rally is in October
Aberdeen is in May
The MVPA National Conventions are typically in June
Haspin is typically in May-June (I think).
Florida Rally is.... February...
There is a way to test them before taking them out in the water:

Leak checking by duck taping (get it?) a blue tarp over the hull, pressurizing with the discharge from a shop vac, then spraying soapy water on the external surfaces. Guaranteed to...

Beautiful:
#2. I didn't take pics of...
It is a beautiful truck. Dawn and I spent a lot of time looking at it. Really nice. We have a friend who has one and he wanted a bunch of pics so I shot a ton for him. Here's what I got (I hope I am not overstepping my bounds here-if you want me to remove them, I will happily).
Congrats, it...
There is a backstory to this: The EPA had been giving the Army (well, the military in general) exemptions for the multifuel for years and finally they said "no more exemptions, you have X years to replace it, so you better buy as many now as you think you'll need". This is why about 90% of the...
At this point, the following needs to happen:
A. It appears that some sort of understanding exists or existed between TACOM & EPA that is at the heart of the matter. We need a to wait a few days and see what the "final" decision is. You can be assured that people like TNJ and Memphis and...
I don't, I am a deuce guy (but I don't even have those memorized).
The parts manual (-P) will have them, or you can find them on all the big guy's websites:

In short, either the inner, outer or keyway seal is bad.

If you've never serviced the hubs since getting the truck, you should do all 6. Being on the side of...
Sorry, we made it home last night really late. I just plain forgot to update this.
Drove it home 500+ miles on 3 wheels. Today I have a billion things to do, I have to unload the uHaul and drop it off, get to work on a Land Rover for a customer, replace the blown up axle on the trailer, return...
I really tried to get 2 of everything, but I simply ran out of time to get everything. As is, I ended up with 274 pictures.
Yes, here is all of my pics, in a slideshow: http://s9.photobucket.com/user/clinto1/slideshow/2014%20MVPA%20National%20Convention?sort=3
Also, a little video...
When I get home, I will post all my pics in a slideshow. I took a lot but I was unable to get everything.
Tomorrow evening or maybe Tuesday morning I'll post them here.
I wish I could express how good a show this was.
It was very large, well organized, good swap meet, tons of friends and great, great displays.
How about the doggie MASH unit setup, with service dogs (:)) on stretchers?
How about the WWII Weasel on a Iwo Jima display, along with underwater...
OK, we have made it back to our room in Louisville with the 3wheel trailer and our newest addition to the family, ginormous Uhaul van.
Trailer bearings did fine on the way back, plenty cool.
We just took a shower and are going to have some spaghetti and crash. We'll get up early tomorrow to...
