Good point. I should reevaluate the times after adding stops so that our arrival can remain the same. I was trying to space the stops out so that we could get out and stretch our legs/kick the tires/check the oil/visit the restroom/etc. in addition to getting fuel if needed.
Any other...

Re: RE: Re: im comen too
That's fine. Just let us know who will be where, so we don't leave anyone behind :lol:
The basic route I have laid out is I-70 E starting on the east side of Columbus, OH and continuing on I-70 all the way to Maryland. There will likely be smaller groups joining...
Re: im comen too
Hey Gilbert,
Glad to have you along. Are you going to be at the Pilot Truck Stop (I-70 and SR 209)Exit 178 ???
I can add a quick stop to the convoy there, or you can just sit on the entrance ramp and fall into the column as we pass. Let me know.
"Participate?" - that's sounds incriminating. It definitely was Gimpy's day. I will let him tell his adventure. It is much more exciting.[thumbzup]
I grabbed the M35A2 N/A WO/W. I played it safe and hired a friend-of-a-friend to bring it home on a trailer. 80 miles one way. Pretty...
Well, it's about time. I was wondering when you were going to post some pictures of that "steal"(sic) soldier.
BTW: did you pick up your 1/4 mile time from the tower?? :wink:
Yeah Kenny, I talked to Cabell, he suggested I try to see what I could source from local sign shops. I just figured I would put out the word here too, in case someone on our route already had them.

Ok, those of you on this western serial: Does anyone have the "CONVOY AHEAD" and "CONVOY FOLLOWS" signs that I can beg, borrow, or buy cheap? I have seen the $100+ signs on ebay and mv dealer sites, but I am hoping someone might already have these that we can use on our way to Aberdeen.

Well Gimp, You know I normally don't shy away from fabricating just about anything :wink: - but it's all about time vs. money. The intricate gasket shown below was $2.89 from Memphis Equip. It was an easy decision for me.
Jon,
I just replaced my oil filter housing with a stock one. (Thanks once again to Kenny (r4x4) !!!My original had a crack in the casting around one of bypass threaded pipe plugs.
You will need three flat gaskets, and two o-rings. I got only the gaskets needed from Memphis (they had every...
