edit: We are now set for Sunday Oct 13th at Disney Springs at either Jock Lindsey's or The BoatHouse (they are right next to each other). Be sure to plug the Lime garage (parking is free) into your GPS if you are unfamiliar with the area. There are paper maps of Disney Springs available as you exit the garage and enter the "town". If anyone is bringing their MJ, my thought was to all park on the roof of the Lime garage so there's a hope of the trucks being close to each other. I wanted to start an official thread to gather up the thoughts on what to do and when to do it. I'll be in Disney World this week (show up monday, leave on saturday) so I was thinking we could maybe meet up at Disney Springs one evening? The evening of the 16th is unavailable for me (got a DVC party that night at Typhoon Lagoon).

and now the train set they are working on. it's huge! like over a hundred feet long! unfortunately I didn't snap a photo that could capture the enormity. I think it's all N gauge? it's smaller than HO.

They literally named it the Boneshaker.

Good job Studebaker. you matched up that bed perfectly Yup, you read that right, someone had the cojones to actually leave the ground in this thing.

Hell to the yeah. now that's a snowblower! the mustard and relish paint job had to be seen in person. pictures don't do it justice.

can you imagine rolling up to a car show in this? blades from the helicopter that I apparently failed to snap a picture of. check out those dually tires!

love the tassels on the roof. the underside shows the cooling fans. yup, Sears really did sell everything at one time or another.

it's full today. I totally understand that. but it might be a bit less so later on.

yeah, the floormat isn't going to give you but a second or 2 before they figure it out.

the blues brothers was playing the instant I hit Joliet so I was already fully thematic. Or at least as thematic as I can get without a half-pack of cigarettes. Pretty sure the durango R/T has the cop motor, cop suspension, and cop shocks.

I stand corrected. I have 7 pair still, so I had 9 total. they are just so easy to remove. and so cheap! I just can't help myself.

awww, I forgot all about wanting to see that. next time for sure!

yes, I know where Lakeland is, I need to know where the junkyard is.

30 in which direction? I'm up near atlanta.

which yard? I'll be back in GA this weekend. I definitely need to check out those flares. the ones on my new truck are literally disintegrating from 30 years of southern sunshine. It the yard close to you? can you snap me a pic of the tops of the flares?

I stumbled upon the Joliet Prison yesterday. Was not expecting it, but it turns out there's a pull-a-part junkyard across the street. Rumor has it that you can get a tour of the place. Might have to go back someday (with a real camera this time)

I think the total was 7 pair this trip. one went to Katie, one went to Pat and I should have 5 remaining to sell.

And with my last junkyard visit, I scored a flat top Liberty hood that matches my Jeep. :-) (also three more pairs of Liberty tow hooks)

the yards I was looking at are way over by chicago. BUT I see you're not that far from Ron's place in Churubusco! send me a PM with your number and I'll let you know when I expect to get there. If you haven't seen his place yet, you're in for a real treat. (bring money if you need any MJ parts)

that might be a challenge since there are like 5 and I don't expect to stay at any for very long (just want to see if I can pop in and maybe get lucky). what city are you in?

I've got a pile of small boxes and envelopes and packing materials from all the smaller things I've bought over the years just so I can reuse them to ship things out.

decided to stay another night at KOA so I can start fresh in the morning to fight with walmart. Then on to junkyards in Indiana and Ron's museum of Jeep wonders. Had a great time meeting up with a bunch of the ol' CC crew today. so very glad y'all could swing by to say hi. In traditional CC fashion we had such a good time we forgot to take any pics

congrats on having an awesome wife! what's a base rubicon come with? I mean, it can't be all that bare boned can it?

hey, rusty trucks need lovin' too!
