Thankgiving day we are planning a Canned Food Drive for the Eastern Michigan Foodbank at or near (yes... near... I will explain later) the mounds.

I could probably squeak in a few hours either day.  Sunday probably the better option.  Nail down a time/day and we'll give it a go...

I guess Sunday makes sense - go wheel for a couple of hours and then head over to the meeting and have a brewski! Meet at the mounds around 2:00?

Not sure about you but I'm dizzy now ..... The only time you  truly have 4wd is when you have a locker of some sort. Other than that what happens is the tire that has no traction is the one that will spin not the one that you normally want lol .

You got stuck because you had it in 2wd, silly  ::gay:: ::ouch::

I'm pretty sure my XJ is open, and I got no lockers or n e thing special, but I do just fine on the dunes. Get that 4wd working and you'll be fine. If you want to go rock crawlin' or other crazy stuff, then that's when you get a locker. ::Jeep::

OK...so far so good. It looks like I will be able to make it. Anyone who is definitely going, can you PM me a contact number, just incase I am running a bit late?

thanks!

Did we ever pick a time?  I have to meet my IT guy in Farmington Hills for a couple of hours then come back to to Grand Blanc to wrap up the project.  I am hoping to be up there around 2pm, maybe with my IT guy and her husband in tow - they own a 2006 Rubicon.

i talked to ed and we were talking somewhere around 2 on sunday....paul if you go back a couple posts youll see what time ed came up with lol

Post by: LPM606 on October 29, 2009, 06:39:59 PM
Yah, I thought 2:00 would be good - 3 hours to wheel around, 1/2 hour to wrap it up, put pieces back on, etc. and then head down to Sharky's by 6:00 for a beer and one of those yummy pizzas.  Oh yeah - and a meeting.

BTW - Jarhead may come out for our meeting on Sunday.  I invited him to come wheel with us as well, but his reply back asked for the time and place of the meeting, so I am thinking he may just try to hit the meeting. I contacted him this week about the Tread Lightly coordinator for GLFWDA and he wanted to get togteher so I suggested meeting us sunday....
