2023 Spring Uwharrie trip April 20-23

I'm not missing this one.....unless Hurricanes start showing up in April. See you all there

Ok so I did the math......if 10 people show up to camp it'll be 20 a person. It was 233 bucks to rent the site. You can probably est 10 a person for the group dinner we do either Fri or Sat night. If you wanna paypal me use my email. [email protected]. You can also bring cash the day of. I will keep a running list. @NCEvets it would be great if you showed up!

Received. Thanks John!

How else are the slow ones who dont wanna keep up supposed to know where to go if there isnt a clue to follow???

Thats not cool, if you ever change your mind you are more than welcome to show up anytime

Hey Roxy... hope everything works out for ya and you know you're more than welcome to stop by anytime down the road.

Well, Jerry and I have sites #34 and #35 reserved for April 18-23 @ Arrowhead so if anyone's going to be there a little earlier in the week, stop on by.

Rumor has it that Billy and Leland are going to be there this year also and that Billy will be smoking some tires with his new setup.😈

Chris.... I don't see that Rodeo for sale anymore... hope you got it.

I'll have some stuff up for sale as usual... should we start another thread?

3 months and counting down....

So, it is time to start planning important details... What do we want to eat for the group dinner??

Do we want to go big and have steaks, baked potatoes, and a big salad? Do we want jambalaya and cornbread? Or I can smoke some chickens and we can have some country green beans with potato's and grilled sweet corn.

I'm open to suggestions. What sounds good?

Just over a month away!!

I got the replacement fuel tank installed in my Trooper this past weekend. Glad to not be driving a Molife cocktail any more. My new speakers were delivered today, and hopefully will be installed in the coming weeks. Lastly, my new bumper is coming together nicely. It should be finished in time and we will go for trial by fire on the trails!!

I'm getting more and more excited. I will be bringing my full setup including the smoker. In a few weeks we will get a firm head count for dinner so I know how much to buy. Smoked Chicken won with the most votes. If you plan (or want to) camp with us at the group camp make sure you speak up so we save you a spot. Also you will need to get with Nate about payment for the campsite.

Thanks and lets go play!!!

I am hoping to be operational by the end of March and am still planning to be there at the group site. I'll bring cash. What's the total due?

Bring 20 for the site and then like another 20 for the food if your son is coming, 10 if solo

I'm on the maybe-not list or maybe I'll just drive over to visit list.
Truck is still under the knife. Brakes not done yet and driveshaft is getting made most likely next week or two. Then still need to break in gears and work out any braking gremlins.

Sorry fellers

Well. Bad news. Picked it up from exhaust shop and it was running good. Boost wasn't as high but I figured more backpressure causing a drop in boost.

Drove to Tonka toys ran good. 60 miles. On the way home things changed. Lost power started running warm. Not hot.

Kept driving, numbers still looking good. About 5 miles from the house temp spiked and it was lethargic.

Got home. No coolant at all, this was after I checked and topped it off at Tonka toys. Was looking around to see what caused it and saw egr pipe going into intake side was all the way unscrewed. Exhaust shop must-have forgot to reconnect bc the admitted when I called they messed w it when they did exhaust.

Thinking I blew the head gasket bc to much boost bc I cranked it up after exhaust shop. But won't read correctly on gauge bc erg pipe not screwed in. However no coolant in the oil.

Gonna compression rest maybe tomorrow idk. No uwharrie for me now. Not enough time. I'll update once I have a answer

Oh no! This is a revolting development.

An aside: I was planning to bring cash to reimburse you for my share the group camp rental fee. How should I handle that?

Just give to Mike aka Tonka Toy. He will get it to me. I am disappointed for sure however I would have rather it happen close to home than 4 hrs away.
