I'm sure they will chime in if they plan on going. Last I heard they all had some kind of damage (tie rods and centerlinks)

I should beable to make it, unless something dredfully wrong goes on with the install, electrical and pluming the air lines are all done. Only thing left is switching out the 3rd member, setting backlash and gear mesh, and drilling the hole in the casing for the bulkhead fittings. Got that planned for thursday. I'll let you know then for sure.

If you guys are planning on taking 394 to 41 out there, we could meet up at the Shell Station on 394 and Steger rd. and convoy out. This is where the people around the chicagoland area usually meet to convoy out. It's about 15 mins south of I-80, there is a Shell Station, McDonalds, and Harley Davidson dealership at this point.

BTW they (badlands) requires you to put an orange flag on your truck before entering the trails. You could pick one up at your local Walmart for like $3 or buy one at the park for about $10.
