Work's definitely more important. I will be a  week in CO and then a week or 2 in NV and then coming back to CO for a few days. If it works out maybe we can have another get together before I go back to TN.


I posted it up on the AMC site and the full size Jeep site. It looks like there may be a couple of them showing up from the other forums.

Rick is en route! :)

Thanks a lot for meeting up with me in Rolla. I know it was a bit out of the way, but we swapped cargo covers since I have the nutmeg interior with the honey cover and he has the honey interior with the nutmeg cover. All is right with the world again!

Here is a quick snap of us in the Panera parking lot.

Rafe, I was glad to get that nice looking nutmeg cargo cover to the trailer queen. I knew there had to be a reason I found that perfect cover in an Eagle that was in horrible shape at the junkyard.

I too am glad at least one good thing came out of that  :censored: purchase I made on my third Eagle!

Welcome back to Colorado!  Glad you had a good trip.

I've put together a little itinerary for today's mini-meet:

2:00 Meet at Sonic, have root beer floats

2:15 Replace Eaglebeek's exhaust system

2:30  Replace Shanebo's front suspension and steering components to try to eliminate the vibration

2:45  Return Strike Eagle's car to stock, decide we liked the modified version better, and make it like it was

3:00  New carpet in my car

3:15  Preventative maintenance on Eaglefreek's car since he made the long trip, and swap out his front bumper with winch and rear bumper with tire carrier and hope he doesn't notice

3:30  Help Nashkid (Terry) pick up 5 more Eagles (but not ours) for the Rambler Ranch

3:45  Drive down to Pueblo and say Hey! to Maddog

4:00 Stop by Gronk's place and see his stockpile of Eagles (even if he isn't there)

4:15 Call it a day

I'm open to suggestions if anybody thinks we can squeeze some more in, let me know
