I had seen previously where XOC (et all) have suggested removing the step rails, which I plan to do prior to departure.

Anything else?

Should I remove the mud flaps as well?

And, no, it's too late for an ARB, rock sliders, and 3" lift. (Unless I win them the the Chili Fest :p ) If a stock X can't cut it, I'll
just have to get an Asstek and start AssFest 2002 next year.

Lastly, Am I the only goober who has the ice chest all loaded with beer just waiting to put the ice in?
The wife was all "Waddup widdat?"

I would suggest that you move your spare from under the Xterra if you are going to try to run Poughkeepsie Gulch.

Is it also premature to have your X loaded down with everything even 3 days b4 you leave.

I CAN'T WAIT!!!!!!!!

I haven't even begun to pack and I leave in 17 hours and 15 minutes. But who's counting!

I am not. I am doing the Monday run with you guys (SWXC) and the Tuesday Run with XOC. Then I have to go home...

Unless I'm having too much fun then I'll send the wife hme in the X and hitch rides the rest of the week.

Bummer.. you are going to miss the dinner at the outlaw!!

Well, considering your signature states that all that beer belongs to us, and is in fact, not yours, I suggest icing it down right now, so I have a cold one when I get there.

Ahh, you must have worked as a journalist with your "selective" editing. My sig clearly states all YOUR beer belong to us.

Anyhoo, As I alluded to earlier, there will be two ice chests....one with the bottles, and one with the Pub Draught (Murphy's for me, thanks.)

If Murphy's is not good enough for you, XOC, I guess I could get some Guinness so we might share a pint or two on Sunday. It's the least I could do...

I just wished the pint glass deal would've gone through.

btw, I 'm assuming there is no Guinness on tap there eh?
