I'd like to add VIN to your list, LOL. I wouldn't want to get separated from my truck!

Step one in the process of persuasion was completed last night when I towed the "new" camper home. I'm looking forward to having the extra room, but I'm most looking forward to a much easier setup and tear down!

Turning it into a week vacation could work for me too. That way its not a 100% truck event for 4 days, lol.

The first year I went by myself.I saw real fast that I should have brought my girls. It really is a good time for everyone involved.I'm pretty sure my girls had plenty of fun even though it rained quite a bit.

Travis, awww cumon. Its as much a hangout session as anything else. Just drive that SD on out and hang out with the cool kids!

Yea Travis! I was gonna bring my gasser SD to RRE but ended up buying my OBS a month and a half before lol. I was pretty well set on not coming (the whole bringing a gasser to a PSD event thing) but I got talked into it by these fellers. Heck, bring a car and park in the parking lot lol. No one will know the difference!

That's the point that has kept me away, though I have a lot of friends who go. As proud of my 1/2 ton as I am and as much as it has accomplished on the show circuit so far, I could not bring myself to show up with a gasser at a diesel event no matter how often I was told "it's fine, bring it."

The day I announced buying the OBS though - it was all over. One guy said "You must be at RRE next year, and you must give money to Clay..." LOL...

My SD will be more than ready for Riff Raff. I don't want to come without my OBS b/c I will throw my SD in front of the sled if I don't. The clutch we're putting in it can handle it so....

doing the work isn't the problem. Hell, I could throw the BTS in it and have a decent PCS tune in one good night probably. The problem is money. LOL. If I had the money to get good paint on it before then, I would consider bringing it with just the 238/100s, BTS and sitting on '05+ axles, but I have serious doubts. That's a lot of money down the road.

If you have time to do it, your not working enough to have the money to do it.

If you have money to do it, your working so much you don't have the time to do it lol

Its a vicious cycle. Of course theres always those lucky people...

When did you do all this??? You were 20 minutes from my house! And if you did it with Ace, then you probably met my oldest daughter and her husband!

If I were assured in my mind I wouldn't break anything 8 hours from home (only one truck will make this trip - the OBS), I would definitely hook to the sled. I grew up on truck pulling and it's what got me into building trucks in general - the big shiny custom trucks with monster V8 gassers with blowers and stacks. I would totally be down to pull. Lots of great memories there.
