I'll see if I can have the 24th off or work the morning, but they're having a customer appreciation day and wanting people to work.

On the weekends, I'll be in my driveway wrenching when not working regardless.

I second the idea to merge this with the meet and greet on the 24th (if at all possible).

I am not opposed to changing the M&G to a wrenchfest, if that's what you want to do. Just let me know so that I can update the invite over on Facebook.

I am fine with any of the options. I will only be able to make one of the days, the sooner I know what the plan is the better my planning will be.

I guess it would be nice for Ann to speak up!!!!! Since I know she has work she needs done.

I'm amenable to any date/time... not working right now, so I'm free whenever. Only thing that's currently on my list is to pull the front driveshaft and go to 2wd. However, that can also be pushed off until a later date (when I can order another new driveshaft, most likely not until end of next month). Maybe post a poll here and in FB and see what others think? I'm pretty flexible.

Work on my end:

Change Oil - no help needed there, but having a nice space that isn't a parking garage to do it in would be nice. I guess having a few folks around who have changed the oil on a skid plated Jeep will be nice for my peace of mind when I am reaching around for the filter.

Gas Tank Skid Plate - I have this piece sitting in my apartment's closet and it needs to get installed sooner than later. Put this as last priority, since I could also run to the dealership and have them slap it on.

I may also get a fresh coat of wax on the Jeep as well. I am mostly looking forward to hanging out and learning about the nuts and bolts of our vehicles.

Either day this weekend will work for me. I just prefer the M&G and Wrench day be combined to limit my drive time out into the burbs.

A poll or something would be great so we can get a date and time set for everything.

Most of my work is nearing completion. All I need to do it mount the rear shocks/springs, reconnect the accessories on the right side of the motor and take it in for an front end alignment. Are we still meeting at the same place or has it been changed because of the wrenchfest?

I am waiting for final details from Aaron, since he is willing to host. Chances are it will change - I'm not sure Moretti's would appreciate a bunch of Jeeps showing up and turning their parking lot into an outdoor garage. :lol:

Sunday is uncertain at this point.
