Just an FYI, I will be going to the Dallas Market Hall Expo Center for the 4wd expo Sunday around 11AM for anyone that wants to meet up there, check it out, and then head out to the Oasis for the Meet.

That being said, if you are coming to the cook-off and concert Sunday, Jeep parking will be on the grassy knoll, between the parking lot and the service road. I'm guessing by the time most of you get there, there will be a few already there, so you'll be able to see where to park.
Looks like the Creek won.

For Saturday, Still trying to make it but may not. Is any portion of this family friendly? I've got a 5yo.

It's on Sunday. Sadly, no. We're a 21 and up establishment.

Sunday does me no good either. Maybe we'll make one of your off road adventures sometime then.

Let not talk about getting poor'r

I did this yesterday.



I'll install the lift today.

I decided to go with a 2" Full Traction Eco lift from Sean over at Screaming Lizard Customs. Sean was nice enough to meet me after hours yesterday and hook me up with what I needed.

Its a great looking combo. Its the first set my wife and I liked when we started looking. We looked something else but just couldnt find anything we liked better.

Here it is after the 1.5" lift. Took longer than I expected it to to install.




How was the show yesterday. Any pics???

Is that water on your driveway? I forgot what it looked like.



BTW, thanks to emoody, dgnr8, and Viperpilot for actually following through and showing up yesterday. We had a great time and the concert lasted until after nine.

We've already begun planning a crawfish boil for June, so I'll let y'all know.
