I'd prefer the 3rd weekend in February, but willing to go with the flow.

The weekends of the 3rd and 4th or the weekends of the 24th and 25th are the only times I can go in February. I'll be out of town the other two weekends. I sure hope we can come up with a plan that works for everyone so we have a good turnout.

I did this in September. Everyone is okay. Was flat towing and lost control on the highway. Frame is good so just need to do a lot of body work and replace cage. Been so busy though, I haven't had time to do much but strip it down and prep. Planning to knock most of it out in February.

Best part was I flipped it back over and kept going. Had a buddy who needed rescuing in Umatilla. Ran just fine.

My goal is to have it ready for Windrock in May.

Glad no one was hurt! Did it start wagging its tail and get out of control? Never heard of that happening flat towing. I had a horrible experience with a dolly one time, and I will never use one again!

Yep. Wagged and rolled.

Was a combination of a few things that created the perfect storm.

Rock crawler suspension.
Slop in adjustable hitch.
Curve in highway.

Hit clutch to shift coming out of curve which shifted CG forward and outboard and initiated wobble.

I flat towed it to URE in Nov without issue but limited the suspension with ratchet straps and cured the adjustable hitch slop with bolts instead of pins.

Has there been a date set yet? I have something going on the first weekend (Feb 2 and 3). My bronco is drivable and I'm pretty sure i don't have any plans for the rest of the month
