Since I managed to secure me a couple more bottles of this heavily rationed Iowa goodness, I will bring along a bottle of Templeton Rye Whiskey.

This is sipping good, leave the Crown for the shots

Jack a couple more to update 2 from arkansas
Who? I didnt see any....


And yes, I think we plan to BBQ at odin's cabin on Saturday night if that's cool with him - that was the impression I got....I'm not too worried, I'm sure we'll find a place to converge.

I can bring some good oklahoma ground beef - our meat market here is phenomenal.

I will bring several growlers ( what would you expect from a wiredawg) of beer from my favorite St. Louis brewery.

schlafly.com/beers.shtml

I will also bring some bottle conditioned Stackhouse series beers from KC. These will all exceed the average alcohol contentby a considerable margin.

The BBQ sounds like a perfect way to get everyone together. I may need another cooler

Currently it has an appointment at the dealer to see if the camber issue will be covered my the warranty.

I will keep you all posted on my status.

I knew it was bad but holy
I kinda feel bad about the the "Creek" trail now. Well a little anyway.

If you need help making it trail worthy let us know.

At this point in time, I do not think the last time we did the creek that caused any damage besides pointing the inner tie rod end down. The Jeep is aligned at the moment with the stock tires waiting to get into the dealer on Thursday. The only thing that we can do at this point wait to see what the dealer will cover or not cover. I need to figure out what is causing the positive camber issue.

The shop that I take it to says that it might be a bent outer axle shaft or knuckle or C-member, that is why it is going to the dealer. Hopefully they can get it diagnosed and drivable before the 24th so I can at least drive down to Superlift with you all. Time will tell how much I will wheel on the trip.

I will keep you all posted.
Thanks

Looks like you might need an offset tie rod end in you future Looks like the C gussets might be a good investment.

Hopefully you can get it corrected under warranty, I will keep my fingers crossed

Odin and I are in the same cabin and I think there should be room for a BBQ there as long as we got a pit it says we have a large grill. If that is cool with everyone else in our cabin

Here is the big table on our back deck I think it will be perfect for everyone
