Call a place and order it. That what I do. That way all I have to do is stop by and pick it up. There are places open on saturday, you will just pay way more at those places.

Also trying to leave about 3 weeks before the bash to do a shake down trail run. This thing was essentially tossed together for BB15 and I have been trying to keep it running sense, the engine and 5 transmissions set me back a lot and haven't been able to work on this list like I had hoped to.


This list contains 3 types of items......critical, must-have and nice-to-have.

Sort that list based on the importance to the Moab trip (hint: a locker is more important than a radio & speakers)... and you will realize that there are really only and handful of truly critical items.... get those done FIRST and then keep working down the list until the time runs out (or you finish it all)

:deal:

I'm close enough that I can run at lunch and pick up from West Valley Steel. I order beforehand, unless I'm going for scrap.

We tell Squirrel tranny banger the same damn thing each year, but no he's too busy bragging about his squirrel banging trannies to pay attention.

Haha yes, I have prioritised all of this.
Believe I have found a supplier near me I can pick up on lunch.

I'm going to install the rock lights and bumper lights first only cause I want to send our team sponsor pictures.

Ahh so now your getting some things that are the hardest to pay for. Pay retail man, sponsors are cool and all but retail is cheaper.

Carry on STB
 
Awards are for the best...


Participation awards are for pansies.


You're not a pansy, are you?


99% of this world qualifies as "not the best".

Be above average. No awards, but everyone still loves you.

That is probably the best advice I have heard in a long time.
 
Get after it, you'll never get anything done trying to win a beauty contest.
