Went to Harlan with a couple friends. Great place. Had some weird carnage.
what a freaking trip.... if you werent there you missed out, and for the record when the frogs at the harlan county campground see a green bus coming they should run from it

anyone who lets you cut the top while on the trail with a battery powered sawzall is ok in my book

safety first of course

matt filing down the handiwork

after jim broke the 2 replacement steering box bolts he put in to get it to camp things got creative

free range fresh frog legs seem to be becoming a harlan tradition.... props to gabe for trying brian's cooking :flipoff7:

Brian's jenga firepit

For the record never break down with us when we have a cordless sawzall available.

removing the top from an XJ seems like a rather spur of the moment trail mod, lol. Boredom?

I was in Harlan in 08. Looks like it hasn't changed much.

Hey I don't remember my phone ringing about this trip!

Sorry.
I did buy the annual pass so I'll be going back. Most likely after Christmas. I have a bunch of stuff to do on my rig, plus build Gabes.
I'll bring the sawzall so we can cut up your tj.
Karrie and I going to NY in a couple weeks for a wedding I'm taking a trailer to haul back all Gabes parts.
I haven't told my wife we hauling a trailer full of yota parts to the wedding yet.
He has a great plan. I just need to empty the shop out of customer rigs. I'm taking a week off for Christmas, that's when we build his. We figure 3 days. Should be interesting. Maybe we should set up a web cam.

Just giving you grief man no worries bud. This has been a super busy year for me. Hopefully it'll slow down and we can get some wheeling in. Give me a shout sometime!
