Meeting Details:
This year we want to give everyone a chance to lend their input on the date so that we get a larger attendance. With that said I hope we can find a date and place to meet soon.

I have some great news! Jabo has volunteered to host the meet & greet on his farm just north of Raleigh off of US1. There are plenty of areas to ride on his property, maybe even bury a tire or two in a creek or river! I'm sure this will be a very fun get together of Broncos and the Brotherhood.

Lets go ahead and throw out some dates, Chambers mentioned Super Bowl Sunday but I am flying to Montreal that day. How does everyone like SAT., JAN 30 or SAT., FEB. 13 or something else?

Let's get this thing on the books.

I can't make Jan 30, but a Saturday in February would probably work.
There is definitely a creek to get stuck in at Jason's farm.

I'm in, but maybe the later date in Feb,, still trying to get my 69 road worthy as it's been setting for a while.

I'm about to bust a gut to drive it but I'm still checking off stuff and it's been to cold to work on it.

Whether it's on the road or not I'm up for the meet.

February the 13th is fine.

I have not been able to get CMY77GO to commit to a date but I don't think that even he would be out of town that close to Valentines day.

We can have it at my farm about 30 mins north of Raleigh and (79 miles from Bethel, NC-Fordguy) in the southern tip of Vance county I will forward some directions as we get closer to the date.

We can start in the morning at 9:30 AM and go until.

There is some wheeling but it's bound to be muddy.

Raleigh Bronco suggested that we grill out.

I will provide hot hickory coals for the grill for any body wanting to grill out.

I have a little cabin with a wood stove, electricity and running water.

Thanks,

Hi,, I don't have brakes on my bronco yet,, :-( but it's running,, so I can drive something else and stay for a little while. I managed to get the rear drums off today,, but it's really cold and wet and muddy in the driveway. The weather has really been working against me.

I was hoping to do most of the work myself,,, but I'm about ready to drag it to 4wheel parts and let them do the brake job. I have some mechanical ability but not enough lol.

Let me know if I need to bring anything.

Is next Saturday still the plan? Looking forward to hanging out, although 9:30AM is a little on the early side JABO.

Sounds like a wrench party is needed

I want to cut my front fenders to install a pair of flares. Anyone have a nice cutoff wheel or a better tool to do the job? Thoughts/ideas?
