Anyone else do something stupid to their buggy just before going riding? Seems like everytime I go riding I wait until the last minute to do something new and have to go into a mad scamble to get it done.

This time was no different, decided to get a light bar. I went to wire it and I have no room left on the battery terminals( I have a Odessy 925L with a L terminal extender). So I bought a fuse block, great now I have to rewire all the accessories becuase the only place I could make it fit is in the passenger area.

But it gets better, I worked on it late last night, got up early only to find out I don't have enough wire, connectors etc to finish. Bought all the parts on lunch so tonight I get to finish, load up, pack up.

I know the fealing. Planned on leaving early tomorrow morning. Got the bright idea Monday morning to order an aluminum skid plate from the dealer. Now I will be waiting on the UPS man at the dealership at 1 pm. Help the mechanic do a mad thrash instal, go home hook up trailers and start the 5-6 hour trip.

Story of my life, If things go to plan Ive got 2 days to buy a new ride and equip it with a radio and stereo and my brother has to get home from florida friday morning and finish an axle install

Hey Muddy. installed new rear bumper today and ordered a new front bumper last week that has not shipped yet. So probably will not have for the ride and will show up monday with my luck.Also just installed Air assist bags on the new truck so it will handle my trailer a little easier. But ya last minute sucks.

on my way to trails end

Well, got 5 miles from the house onto the interstate and jack knifed my camper. Not enough tongue weight, water tank empty and forgot to install sway control. Ditched it into the grass. I guess u could call it a controlled crash. Easier to just ditch it than risk hitting other traffic. Crunched corner pretty good. I have always hated the way that thing tows.
Hell or high water, I am still riding. I guess hotel is the next logical step since all the cabins are full. Any close by recomendations?

Jesus I thought I was determined but u my friend have taken the cake! Call Grand vista up there I know a few guys always stay there. Finally got my radio installed back in the ummm...............commander
Looks like she is gonna have 1 more ride. I look at it like, when a battleship would sink the gun crew would always fire one more round off out of the cannon as a salute. Im taking it easy the whole weekend everything is working perfectly and I want to keep it that way after this weekend for the sale. One of my buds in another t rex backed out so it will be me and my 2 brothers in a rhino and a rex were leavin tomorrow around lunch. See yall up there

PS what channel are we gonna be on?
