BB 2019 last minute thrash

[obijuank5]

Damn I would love to go. I couldn't thrash enough. Rig is done, just the rest of the crap that goes along with an 18 hour tow.

But if I’m there you can get my autograph! Well worth it.

That’s what it was for me and I disliked the drive down but the trip and meeting everyone was well worth it!

The drive back is always much better then going.

 

[fastazz81]

It sucked too I drove straight through.
But I’ll do it again!

I bet it looks like this

I was able to accomplish two of the things on my list. Of course not enough to bring it to BB18. So, now that I have some time, I'm going to work with ORD to do coil overs and links for the front and rear.

Leaf springs, bilstein shocks etc will be for sale soon.

BB19 is coming fast. https://days.to/6-september/2019

This is the problem with attending BB. You see all of the cool upgrades and how they work. Get out the credit card.

Oh, no.....it's not BB that is to blame. It's CK5itus. That addiction will get you every time.

And no credit card. Cash or it aint happening.

(Me, yelling in the background)...."Honey? You still have all that make-up and high heeled shoes? I need you to do me some favors."

Plan is to pick up a tow rig this year or get it to the point it can drive the entire way.

From Phoenix?? Moab is just down the block!

I would love an 18 hour tow. 25 is just too much.

You guys need to split it up next time. Instead doing it Cannonball Run style, make the journey more enjoyable.
Just my 2 pesos..

Yeah, I have a hard time finding someone to do that the first time and they certainly are not game for it a second time. As for me I can sleep in the passenger seat a couple of hours and after 25 hours driving and 12 hours rest I’m good to go.

2-12 hour days driving and two nights is 48 hours and no less exhausting for me.

3-8 hour days each way takes too much time away from work and life. Someday when I retire I’d just take a week each way and see some sights along the way.
