11-2 should be fine. They weren't choosy.
I'll have some fish stickers there. And yes there will be two other TJ's at least there.

Ok... Just spoke with Jason @ Firestone. He will be calling their printer now and asking to have this website at least added to the flyer they are producing. And I know Skatchkins mentioned Jeeps parking on eachother... Jason got a kick outta that and thought it would be cool.

We are confirmed to be there at 11-2, and there will be food provided. All are welcome, even the minivans :)

No need for shifts, or to even be at your rig... You can park and go shopping for all anyone cares... We were asked to be there to help get attention to the new location.

Now... Skatchkins also mentioned a discount. Yes Jason at this location will keep a standing offer for the clubs. I have been working out tire orders with Jason for almost a year now for the XOC people. And now he has assured me that he will continue this practice. As for the "certs" ... These are those roadside damage certs. I have used mine and I'm glad I have them. Replacement tires that can not be repaired cost $30. Please don't abuse this privlage... But know they do honor it for offroading to us.

Jason is also one of the only shops on the valley to stock Firestone Destonation MTs (265/75R16 and 285/75R16). If you guys use other sizes and have enough referals, he will also stock them as well. Only catch to Firestone, is they have no tire that is bigger than 33". Oh... And your minivan would probably also recive the same discounts (not sure on that one to be honest). Jason will also match pricing and order in any other major brand of tire, but can not provide the "certs" for them for roadside damage. My Frontier got it's BFG KM2 35x12.5R18s this way.

I know I sound like I'm pitching this place... But our club has been well taken care of by this manager. This is his new store (he was an assistant manager previously I belive) and he wanted to continue to support us.

Oh... And they usually have no issues Aligning our rigs, not 100% about the new shop yet on that one. But I hope he got some tech that can continue the good work the Scottsdale location has done on my custom rig.

Oh... Your all welcome to call over there for any other details for what is planned. Jason @ 623-936-3133, or anyone else over there can provide info about the Grand Opening.

To be honest, I don't know. I know he didn't hesitate to get me BFG KM2 35x12.5R18s for my Frontier and also was able to get the BFG Baja TA KRs as well. Give him a call, he is a great guy.

Well its got busted motor mounts at the moment so it hasn't gotten a lot of trial time like my X has the past couple weeks... But it will be out for show. Id post a pic... But I'm too lazy to take one since the ass end was finally finished. Its still a 4x2 till I can get the new half shafts assembled (they are I think 7" longer than stock). The truck has a 12" suspension lift in the font, 8" in the rear. The front at last measurement had 12" of travel on an IFS setup (we have done more work since the last measurment, so it may have another 1" if I do the geometry right). The truck was widened 2" in the rear, and it is locked. And widened 5" in the front. Lots of trimming was done to have full stuffing ability of 35&12.5" BFG KM2s. We used a stock Titan rim, so it totally is deciving on size. Last measurments were 48" in front and 46.5" in the rear to the bottoms of stock fenders. This thing makes most Titans look small.

Oh... It gets better... Its built for my fiencee... I rarely drive the thing. She has a blast showing it off :)

Hope to see you guys all there... I can't wait to check out what you guys run.

How about towards me since I'm last on the way there.

I'm glad we're trying this. Kind of a first for us. Thinking it'll kind of be like at the CCV car show. Just a little name recog while we hang and people thinking we're cool ;)

Chris bring a few calendars to put on our windshields (my xtras got locked up)

Sounds like a plan. time? place? I've always met you at the shop, so you'll need to pick a new meetin' spot. ;)

What time do you want to leave? I am at Bell and Reems, where do you think would be good to meet? Do we want to go across 99th Ave or across something like Litchfield then down to 99th Ave? WIll help determine where to meet.
