2013 Fall Chicagoland Meet and Greet

[Big Blue]

So throwing a feeler out there. Looks like Ultra4, the boys that put on King of the Hammers, is doing something at the Badlands in Attica, IN at the end of June. Who'd be interested in a camping weekend down there to watch? I have no idea what spectating is available or really anything, just throwing it out there for a feeler.



Drums are for winners Tom!

To be honest...Watching sucks when you could be doing (In more ways than one!). Why not try to plan a group camp to the Badlands for offroading this summer instead?? Keith's been suggesting that for some time....

BTW, whats the total turnout expected for the ******* lunch? Looks like a bunch of new guys too, cool...

 

[Kanakry]

In for sure!

Mark, you should buy one, ill co-pilot....and bring beer n chips

Oh I have plans... For someday, which maybe sooner than later.......

 

[Sitdown]

Bingo!! Now this post is getting good!

I bought my Raptor used and the previous owner installed lights that I hate. I was going to wait till the meet up at ******* but I got trigger happy and ordered VisionX lights from Alternative Offroad. (I may need help installing. I'm not very good at that stuff.).

i also ordered P-EZ portable urinal for my co-pilot wife. She will be able to stand and pee with the big dogs! (she is soooo excited about that. JK)

Next...I have to buy a spare tire and rim. (Unless someone has one rolling around. Pun intended. )

I am getting so excited about SnoBall already. I missed out last year. Grabbed the last spot this year!

Todd's a great electronics guys. I will bring tools. Are they hood mounted? Do you already have brackets for them installed? Light Cannons?

All the ladies usually just squat between two trucks for bio-breaks.

Yes, there are spares around. Im sure someone will chime in before next weekend for you. What happened to your spare?

Snoball is going to be awesome. Big Chicago Convoy both ways too. See you next weekend.

I have a set of 4 2010-2011 Rim with tires that I could seperate if interested.

The tires have very little tread left but they would work in a pinch.

If you want one and pay before the snoball I can bring it with me

The Ford dealer where I bought my truck was guessing that the spare tire was stolen off the truck when the original owner had it.

This is what I ordered this morning (not sure when I will get it):
AOHDMOUNTPKKG Alternative Offroad Ford F-150 & Raptor Hood Mount Light Brackets & VisionX LED Light Cannon Package

Is there anything else I need to get in order to install it? (wire harness?)

I think I am going to Lover's Lane to buy a "mod" for my wife's P-EZ. Then she will really be able to hang with the guys!

I hate for you to break up a set, but, if your game and the price is good....I'm in. I would only be looking for one. Let me know if you are will to part with one.

I am still trying to figure out the navigation system I want to invest in. If it is not a hassle, would some of you attending the upcoming meet and greet in Schaumburg bring the system that you plan to use at SnoBall? Thanks!

By the way, my VisionX light cannons are back ordered but my mounting brackets are being shipped. Hopefully I will have the lights by the beginning of December.

The lights will come with a harness, but it also comes with 2 spare weatherpak connectors. Just wire those spare connectors up to one of your upfitter switches and your done. Keep their harness for another wiring project. If you're around on Sat, several of us there are running them

I've got a spare I can let ya use and will sell if your looking to keep it
