Thanks for checking in, we're fine here, nothing as far as an 'ice storm' happened in our area, it was all south of us.
No power outages, just some nasty weather for awhile.

Did hit a pretty severe snow storm returning from the NY run on Sunday though, got lucky and only had 20 miles left to be home when we ran into it.
Total white out on the interstate, pulling an 18ft trailer...whohoo!

Frames done...one step closer to Tenn.

I've been following your build thread (detours and all) and like what I'm seeing. Keep up the good work and hope you keep dodging them ice/snow bullets

Re: Possible Road Trip Event for Blazer/Jimmy Owners
 

I can't wait, planning on driving "Merlot" since nobody wants her :lol:

Re: Possible Road Trip Event for Blazer/Jimmy Owners
 

I'll be happy to see her in my yard again.

Re: Possible Road Trip Event for Blazer/Jimmy Owners
 

Hope to be at the gathering, Have been invited to go on a raft trip down the grand canyon around that same time.hope there is no conflict in dates.Looks like a busy summer for me if all works out!!

All's we need is nice weather so we can ride topless!

Re: Possible Road Trip Event for Blazer/Jimmy Owners
 

Welcome to the site from Big Sandy, West Tennessee. I have been to Goose Creek several times during my 30+ years of truck driving. I would hate to have to chose between the grand canyon and the meet but know which I would choose. (the meet of course) Hope to see you in July.

Re: Possible Road Trip Event for Blazer/Jimmy Owners
 

Easy choice, the Grand Canyon will be there next year, a local meet-n-greet chuck full of 1st gens won't. ;)

Re: Possible Road Trip Event for Blazer/Jimmy Owners
 

The Grand Canyon trip is pretty much paid for and not by me, Should know more in a day or two. Just like everyone else on here I have some things to do before the trip, no major problems in the reliability area just cosmetic.

Heck I will just load up the tool box(duct tape,bailing wire electrical tape and some nylon tie straps) check the fluid levels and go! But I am thinking maybe I should get some good cell phone #'s and someone lined up from home to come rescue me if the need arises.

Re: Possible Road Trip Event for Blazer/Jimmy Owners
 

Banana, we know enough people that live off of I-75, I-24, and I-40 to get you taken care of :)

Re: Possible Road Trip Event for Blazer/Jimmy Owners
 

That is one thing about people who drive the older vehicles,they will always offer to help a fellow out with an old truck.

hope to make it to the event should be a blast!

My name is Bryan too! Cool!

Re: Possible Road Trip Event for Blazer/Jimmy Owners
 

I know 5150 will have his there, and "Merlot", so that is
2 for sure. I would like to see about 25 total myself :cool:

Re: Possible Road Trip Event for Blazer/Jimmy Owners
 

:agree: That'd be most excellent.

Maybe for the new year, we should start a poll of those who plan to attend.


Given I get this crate together, I'm there.

Re: Possible Road Trip Event for Blazer/Jimmy Owners
 

But where would we put the poll?

Re: Possible Road Trip Event for Blazer/Jimmy Owners
 

Could start a new thread, or is it possible to add it to this one?

Re: Possible Road Trip Event for Blazer/Jimmy Owners
 

You started it so I think you can add to it, at least I think you can :lol:

Re: Possible Road Trip Event for Blazer/Jimmy Owners
 

We got us a poll goin' boys! :metal: :lol:

I voted #5 but even if it isn't finished, I'm still coming down.

I'll trailer the freaking thing if I have too. :devil:

Re: Possible Road Trip Event for Blazer/Jimmy Owners
 

Don't do that, you can't take the GQ chassis if you trailer yours silly :hm:

Re: Possible Road Trip Event for Blazer/Jimmy Owners
 

I voted #3. Wanna make the trip, but too hard to plan July already with the kids.

Re: Possible Road Trip Event for Blazer/Jimmy Owners
 

I voted number 1, can you imagine that? I've already talked to my friend David (cook at last years event) and he's in. So all that's left to do is call the port a john place and the rest we'll handle in house. If you want to see what's in store click on the photobucket link at the bottom of my siggy. When it opens look on left side near top under albums and click on board meet 2008. Then at top right click on slide show and enjoy. I will contact the host motel and get us a group rate if needed after this poll. Gas in Paris Tn. was $1.249 today and hopefully it will stay below $2.00 this year. So make plans and let's make this a meet to remember. Here is some of the folks that showed up last year.
