PM your number and we can ride out Sat am. I am in the city(Port Richmond, zip 19134) Its an hour and half ride out PA turnpike NE extension, really easy to get there although I just follow the GPS. As far as recovery gear I have what we will need. Tow points front and rear are good to have, in fact id say mandatory.
Its $10 membership, good for a year and $30 for the day, not sure if passengers pay.

And if for some reason Andy doesn't have what we need, I generally have what we need.

Cost is posted on Rausch's websites, tow hooks are mandatory.

I will warn, as I have in the past, you are taking your Jeep OFFROAD! I will be more then happy to help guide you over obstacles without damage, but there is always the risk. Also, you do not need to follow me everywhere I decide to go.

I am going up Saturday morning, plan on being there a little later this time, let's say 9:30 at the staging area. Ok?

As for Sunday, I'm probably just wheeling a 1/2 day that day, or we might decide to hit the york, PA show on the way back. I have to be home Sunday evening for a dinner engagement.

I have a set of front stock tow hooks, give me $20 plus shipping and they are yours.

We are still shooting for sunday. Im keeping my fingers crossed that we can make it.
