Where do you find those? I certainly wouldn't leave anyone behind. I've spent many wee hours of the morning on work nights when guys broke at the track - and they've stayed when I broke. Never fun, but you always have to realize it will eventually be you on the other end of the bad luck :/ 7 trucks through Richland can get pretty separated, so I figure as long as 1 at the end and one up front have radio contact, we should be good. Heck - there's always Skype Mobile too that works just like a CB | |

| I am not really that concerned about being left. We just left a few guys behind last fall when the jeep (of course) had mechanical trouble.
You can get the radios at Walmart, best buy, etc. I will try to post up a link of what I have. |

| Any of the gsmr should work. They all work with each other. I bought a pair to have one for someone else if needed. |

Do they also pick up the standard CB channels? No, they operate at different frequencies. I will use whatever the group wants to use. I have just found the radios to be clearer and easier. The drawback is their range, but for what we are doing they should be fine. |

| Yeah, looks like it will be a large crowd. Anyone unsure about getting to the meeting place? Walmart in Lenoir
Walmart-Google map
I am going to order a rear diff skid from Budbuilt and pick it up sometime that day.

| Would you guys be interested in just meeting at Budbuilt ? (assuming that he will be there Saturday morning) His place is located just a few minutes from the Walmart in Lenoir. | |

Good call. Looks like it will be a large crowd. It could take a while if everyone is not ready to go. I don't recall there being much parking at the bud built shop. It also might be awkward to find for people who haven't been there. |
