Your neighbor in the Hill Country -

 

I'm all for it Would be nice to get together.. Keep me informed if we make any set plans..

 

Corporal - where are you?

If this comes together can I PM you or do you want to just check back here?

Eventually I'd like to develop a roster of who we have in the Central TX area to include names, location and email addresses Don't share your email address here, tho as we can take care of that later in a PM.

('til then, keep the shiny side up!)

 

Lets do it.. I'm in Georgetown outside Austin.. PM the details.. I'm a go on the Feb get together.. Shoot me details and location..

 

Will do. Give me a day or two as I'm deep in some major repairs on my truck right now. I'll send you a map and written directions. Bear with me!

Well, Central Texas....THAT'S TWO! Count'em.......2.....that'll be there! How about you?

In the Roll Call conducted in this Chapter not long ago...73 of you made yourselves known to the world that you were out there! Care to break away from your busy schedule to meet and greet some fellow enthusiasts??

The challenge is made. The gauntlet has been cast.

If you can make this one...I promise you'll be famous by Tuesday!

From the beautiful shores of Lake Travis in the majestic Hill Country of Central Texas, I remain your humble, huggable servant:

 

Clif, I'm in NO BS. Let's do this. No need for instuctions, I could drive there with my eyes closed. DONE.

What are you doing to your truck? Need help?

 

Clif I got another guy going too.. He should post soon.. hes from austin.. Hopefully he and I will have our mods done by the time of the event so I can show off LOL!

We're throwing in UltraLite II Gauges, 5" Exhaust System with 6" Tip (Straights), Harpoon'n our tanks.. LOL

 

dude im all over that shiznit. hopefully i'll have the LEDs and BTS VB rollin by then. i think that we ought to have some sort of informal show and shine out there. that would be pretty cool.

 

Absolutely, good Idea. Or smoke show!!!!! Austin, call my cell right now...

 

Well, now - that's more like it! Thanks, guys! 2 or 20 - it'll be fun!

Duck, the short story and answer to your question is: we're replacing the TC and installing a VB today. On our road test, we'll go by the dealership to pick up the turbo-to-CCV adapter hose I ordered to replace the one we found yesterday that had a hidden 2" crack in it. That crack has been there a long time, let in a lot of dirt/dust and is forcing me to look around for a replacement turbo. $$$!! Yesterday was a gauge pod, SS HPX X-over pipe and overboost regulator and a whole lot of education.

Looks like I'm finally learning how to take care of the beast ($$$)!

 

Sounds like you have a good thing going there guys. Keep it up.

My brother lives in Austin now, but is currently driving a Dodge. If we can get his Ford down to him by then, I'll tell him to stop by.

 

Thanks for keeping an eye on us, JB.

Would love to see your brother.

Also hoping that a few non-FTE folks drop by, too. We'll pass around the ford-trucks.com address and see if we can add to the numbers.

I'll send you a report afterwards - sortuva "meeting minutes" thing. Maybe it'll be good enough for posting in the Chapter news or something like that.

Headin' off to Offut AFB, USMC LB Barstow and Yuma on Sunday - be back Feb 6. I'll check in from time to time from the hotels - cheers!

 

We've made trips to the Central TX area for truck meets/get togethers in the past but not in awhile,we'll stay tuned for a tentative date

 

Wish I was closer to y'all.

Sounds like a great time!
