So how many will be showing up in Slicks...?
If I can get the 3:73 gears under my 61 4x4 I will run it over....
I can do it now, but I would hate to drive 2 hrs on 4:56 gears at 50 miles an hr....

Too bad I couldn't make it work this trip down. I am in the Portland and coast area for the next few days on vacation, Gonna be heading north by about the 10th. You guys have a good time. Mike, it was great meeting you. The route you told me to take was quite the drive to get down here.

Finally on the coast now. Makes it all worth it. From 100 deg heat to 10% grades it was a quite a trip. Enjoying the balmy 60 deg weather here
at Cannon Beach. Travelling through the Gorge was amazing. We really enjoyed everything there was to see there from fresh fruit and wine tasting to museums and the Bonneville Dam. Only complaint was every campsite had about 4 trains an hour roaring through the night
. Pretty happy with my Powerstroke too. Pulling close to 10k, I have averaged 14 mpg the whole trip and never been short on power anywhere. Enjoy your get together fellas!

ras4434...any luck on the Portland Crew...?
I will be there....
Truck is much better to drive with 3:73 gears in the rear....
Now I just need to locate fronts so I can use 4x4 when needed...

Good Guys nationals in Spokane this weekend thats to bad. Our company was on a dance cruise on Lake Coure d alen. The DJ handed him two tickets to the show. On Sunday I know where we will be. Roger when we go to Portland City this fall Im going to stop in and see you if the timing is right. Should be a nice trip up the Gorge this time of year.

I go with a friend in his BMW we have a lot of fun at these auctions. Don't always buy a lot but it is a couple of days we get away from it all. We go the preview on Friday then if we are interested in anything we go back saturday and attempt to get the winning bid. Of course we always set our max bid before we get there were pretty cheap LOL

Yeah thats what I was wondering. If so any pics. Had a great time at the Goodguys. Maybe we should try a meet here in Spokane at the same time and show some of our trucks. I didnt see alot of slicks there.
