Yes - late notice, but clean up is still on. I wanted to wait to post anything until I had a chance to go ahead and check on the trails this weekend. Well, they got hit hard with down trees and branches all over the place. So the focus will change for this trip from cleaning up garbage to reopening the trails. I'm sure we'll end up picking up some stuff though.

Details for the event are the usual:

Sunday, November 20th

Meet at my parent's house in Ringwood @ 37 Wanaque Terrace @ 9am.

Bring lunch, and PLEASE bring any and all saws for cutting up the downed trees and limbs.

Please post up with any questions and if you can make it.

Sounds good Chris. Jason Hagg made it with an F250 once - no problems.

This trip will end up being a bit different since we're not necessarily trying to get to the far reaches of the park so that shouldn't be an issue.

I wish I could join you guys... especially when it sounds like the chain saws will be busy!
I will be be busy with this... in a way its part of the fun. Managed to respray it before the temps got low, it just needs a lot of rust patching and some suspension attention!

Looking great! You going to leave the roof white (or is that silver?)?

Did you buy a spray gun?

Hi Frank, I have 2 an old 1 from my days at a body shop and i recently bought a more user friendly gun, cheap!
The month of September was an interesting one... my cardioligist puts me up at St. Michaels in Newark with 2 blcked arteries in my heart. After he tuned me-up ( 3 stents ) then i relaxed for a week....after getting resless I started to stripp down the 93 for a recontioning.
Wasn't expecting to paint it before the other work, but one thing led to another!
The black is Nason urrthane....commercial truck paint, covers really nice. And the roof is silver, yes... left over enamel that I found in my basement!

Hope you don't mind me posting this pic of you busy at work, remember this!

Yeah, it used to fill up right away and the park was concerned about too many trucks. Not the case any more.

Should i try rescheduling for a later date? I've done it in the snow before and had a ton of fun.
