Throw them in back and we can install them at the campground!

Hey guys I was wondering if any of yall could maybe help me install my new aussie locker friday night? I'm not sure if i'm going to have time to install it before friday and the extra know-how would be awesome! I've never opened up my diff before and I really don't want to screw it up the night before this trip

Still look'en at finding someone to convoy with on Fri....
I plan on leaving Ft.Wayne around 8 a.m., and map quest has me heading down to Indy., to Cinn., south on 75....
So, if anyone is going down on Fri. and would like to hook up, shout out... It would be nice to have some traveling buddies.......
I am trailering mine, so if anyone has a break down in the mountains, we can still get it home!!!!, hopefully, we wont need it for that!!!

that is an awesome offer, but I can't fit it all in. I have the front, rear/tire carrier, and sliders...I don't think that the wife would like it if I put the boys in the trail carrier! I do appreciate. I will just have to make the next one! The stuff hadn't even been sandblasted as of last night.

hey all,


i talked with the campground lady today. she said if you are going to be staying in the cabin and will be there after six on friday you must call her. she will leave a key for you to get in and you can settle up on the phone or on sat morning. if you are there before six someone will be in the office.

as for directions to the place do not use map quest for the address listed in the first post or gps. it will take you a long ways away from the campground. this is a new campground on a newer road.

the address to use is 519 windrock rd oliver springs tn. after you arive at the address listed which is the windrock lodge turn right on the next road and go up the "big big big" hill and they are on the right.

if anyone wants a cabin there is one left and if you reserved one and decided to bail please call and let her know all other cabins are rented and she has more people wanting one so don't let them sit empty if your not going to be there. they have ben great to us so far and we need to extend the same respect to them.

the rv sights are b 2, 3, 4, and c 5, 3. i will try to leave out by noon on friday and should arrive between six and seven that night.

that is a good thought and I am sure that someone would be willing to do that, but I think that everything happens for a reason. I still haven't installed my cb, fixed some sort of bug (short) in my winch, or had sleeves/gussets installed. I think I should sit this one out. I also need to get my soft top on for the first time ever. I am officially out. I will be calling the campground and freeing up my reserved cabin. Thanks, and I will shoot to join the next one. I will sadly be sitting this one out.

Hey man, I would be willing to drop by and carry some things down for you.. But I can understand where you are coming from with that much stuff to do on you're rig.
If you change you're mind, shout out.. I'll drop by...

I just called the campground and checked to make sure I am on the list for the cabin. It's still a go!!! I am in cabin #1 !!!
They are filling up quick, so, if you want a cabin, you better be call'en them....
