RE: Next Weekend
It next weekend, come hell or high water. I just found a leaking axle seal and leaking wheel cylinder on my M109
And the shop door is too low to fit it in 
Got it all torn down , there is more grease in the axle tube than was in the hub. Its a good thing I found it to day the wheel brearing would not of lasted much long with out grease. It was "TI'D" by the army in '05 I don't think they did a good job. It now make's me glade I had it hauled home to start with.

I will possibly be there earlier on Friday.. depends on travel. Might have to get partway there and get a hotel, then the rest of the way. Maybe I am getting old.. 350 miles is about 5 or 6 hours.
I plan to take a fairly direct route but avoid the toll roads.
from dallas:
75 north becoming 69
cross I-40
cross I-44 at 45 degree angle
east on 60/69 through Vinita
crosses I-44 again
60/69 turns north and goes through Afton
60 northwest through Farland and past Wyandotte
south on 10
east (right) on E 160 road becoming southeast
south on N 670 rd.
east on E 166 rd.
south (right) on S cayuga rd.
southwest (right) on E 175 rd.
I think it is a driveway on/forking to the right.

700 acres.. heh that reminds me of getting turned around at a heavily wooded 1200 acre ATV park when the sun went down.. handheld no-frills GPS and compass got me back. For this reason that park (red river ("muenster") don't allow night riding. That, and drunks kept drving ATVs and dirt bikes off cliffs in the dark. I would like to map this one's boundaries and features out though. 600 acres can be done pretty easy. I did these Other places in Texas and OK:

Well it's not looking good for me. We just got our house a couple weeks ago.. Been moving like crazy. I brought my Suburban to the house the first day but hadn't had a chance to look at it. (It's been sitting in a field since June). Fired right up (always does), ran down the road good, but the brakes sucked. Looks like the left rear wheel cylinder is blown. My transfer case has been screwed up (chain slipping), but that wouldn't have stopped me from attending. I got a welded rear diff, a winch, and y'all got deuces.
So... if I can get the wheel cylinder changed tomorrow I will try and pop up there on Saturday. If not, then I'll have to wait 'till next year.

RE: On the way
hey guys thought I'd ask I'm not sure whether I should show up or not. As I don't have a MV(yet), and didn't know if I would be in th way. If this is a event geared more for people with a MV. I just didn't want to drive all the way up there only to be in the way. My college budget just doesn't allow me to have a MV at the moment.
