Joe,
I have military trailer pigtails and I have one extra 3/4" tow bar foot. And there was a guy selling 24v gauges at the rally. Very reliable. I bought a temp gauge for the M37. Works fine. Sorry, don't remember his name.
AMGeneral and I had great weather and a decent crowd for the Fly In today. His Gama Goat is superb. It was fun following him. Ran like a charm, handled the curves well.

Anybody selling the black elastic "rope" used with cargo covers? Put my cover on today and the rope broke twice as I took the Deuce for a test drive. My knots might hold, but the rope will need replacing.

No seat back, sorry. Found a radiator shop that will check the radiator off the truck, for free. Plan to get up there Friday. Will let you know.
Many moons ago there was a guy stuck in his backyard. He ran the cable around the bumper and under the Deuce to the only tree behind him. Worked fine he said. Only problem was the wear on the bumper. Said it would have to be welded.

I also would prefer the second weekend in April, but if it has been advertised for the third weekend, then so be it. My opinion.
We should discuss why so many of us prefer the second weekend and try to get the rally planned accordingly for next year. For me, it has to do with Easter break...
