Man, I'm ready to go back yesterday.
The only problem is that my father in law is going in for back surgery tomorrow. It will be at least 4-6 weeks before I can get out of the house for a weekend trip. I can't leave my wife to take care of him and my mother in law all by herself.
If you don't go before then, then heck yeah, we'll make a weekend of it!
Sorry to hear about your Father in Law... back surgery can't be fun...
I will be doing a lot to my 4Runner in March to get ready for Jamboree... let me know come April if you need a break and I will definitely head out there!

I'll let you know for sure.
He's going under the knife in a few hours.
In the meantime I'll get some projects done on my FJ too.

If you need a second pair of hands for anything, let me know - I love wrenching (even though I am a novice - I like learning) and Arlington is a short drive...

Thanks! I'm mechanically challenged myself. I was mainly thinking of cleaning it out, cleaning & lubing up the hi-lift, and finally a good soaking underneath to get the dirt and mud off the bottom.
That reminds me though, I do need to head to Trailworx to finish getting the rear bumper fitted properly.
Trailworx... is that a local 4x4 shop? I am looking at a place to help with a Toytec Boss lift and suspension upgrade... after all the exhaustive reading on the various forums, I think that is the one that makes the most sense for me right now... and I would love to get it done before Jambo...

I would consider Tandem Automotive in Ft. Worth for the Toytec, that's who I used. They get it installed and dial in an alignment like nobody's business.
They specialize in Toyota's and in Toyota Offroad vehicles.

Trailworx will install it for you too, Dave is great! He specializes in custom bumpers. I think he started with FJ's and has branched out to other rigs. He in an excellent fabricator!
He installed my rear links, my snorkel, built my spare gas mount and my rear bumper.
He's located in Midlothian now. www.trailworxfab.com
Tell them Willy sent you, lol
So Jambo is less than a month away! Do we have any more takers from the group? Would love to have an Overland Bound group photo while we are all there!

Might just be you and me, haha.
Did you get your lift installed?
I'm going to start going through my camping equipment this weekend this weekend. I'm going to lighten up my camping equipment I take that I don't need.

I'll be there with the fam but I was intending on staying with the Tacoma World group :/

I'm getting there thursday evening after I get off work.
I'm staying at the ArkLaTex camp in my campsite.
I'm sure I'll start off Friday morning hitting the trails.
Lunch time I'll head over to the pavilion for food and seeing everyone.
This year I'll be looking for OB emblems to say hi.

I need a place to stay - I am getting there Thursday afternoon.. do I need to reserve a spot or is it first come first served?
Just me and my son (although my 4 year old says she wants to go too - so we may have a full rig.)
That is a negative on the lift... Icon was on back order for ever, and then the friggin Hail storm destroyed my roof - so I adulted and spent that money on my insurance deductible.
I will be rolling stock, but with 275's.
Ugh, I hate adulting. A bunch of people signed up at the same time but not one of them reserved a spot. No one knew what was what [emoji14] Are there even designated spots? I know there are areas for camping but I was under the impression that there weren't numbered sites

It's pretty much first come first serve. ArkLaTex and TTR (Toyota Trail Riders) are typicaly reserved for members. Rover Camp (AKA Camp Maybe) is a good camp.
There is a family camp if you don't want the kids to hear adults on adult beverages, that one is Old Camp. That being said, there is also Electric camp. They have electric hookups. Tends to fill faster, but you'd probably find a spot.
You can also go find a spot ANYWHERE in the park and camp, as long as it's not in the middle of a trail. On the edge of one is ok.
