    October 1st, Bradenton Meet thread.

    Ok, I guess it's time for a more official October meet thread.

    Where: The Ranch in Bradenton - directions below.
    When: Oct. 1st - I'll be there about 8AM so you're welcome to show anytime after then.
    What: Mod party, hang out, talk trucks, prolly grill some lunch sometime with a trip for dinner somewhere when we get done with the trucks.
    Who: anyone who wants to come.

    Directions:
    here's the address if you wanna mapquest it.

    6712 34th ave E
    Bradenton, Fl 34208

    about 5 minutes off I-75

    SR 70 west exit
    exit #217 if you're heading south, 217B if you're heading north

    this sounds a lot more complicated than it is but here goes

    Once you get off 75 onto 70, about 1.75 miles you'll come to a light with a circle k on the right - Caruso road, turn right

    about a mile it dead ends into a T - turn right - Morgan Johnson Road (44TH AVE E)

    The road forks twice, bear left both times, when the road takes a hard 90 degree right, if you turn left, you'll be in the driveway.
    White block mailbox just before a big white-walled entry with 2 driveways coming in, looks like a gated community entrance or something.
    It's really pretty easy
    Follow the driveway back and there's a 6 car garage and LOTS of driveway space - 1st come 1st serve on the garage slots
    realistically we can get 3, maybe 4 trucks in the garage and still have room to work.

    My cell number is 941 284 4510 if you get lost

    Bring your tools!
    If you think you or someone else may need it, bring it! There's always room for an extra can of left handed muffler bearing grease, ya never know, someone may need it.

    It's not just for gearheads!
    Wanna install a mod but aren't too sure what to expect? chances are one of us has done it before and can help. Heck, we're prolly gonna rebuild MBO's truck that day - he gets to fill the slot that 2manytrucks did at the last one ie. total transformation - new blower, susp. etc.
    If you aren't looking to mod, then just come hang out and watch the show, it's never boring.
    I'm sure SoFlaHarley will wash his truck.

    This is a great opportunity for those who aren't real comfortable with wrenching on thier own trucks to get some help and guidance from those who are.

    So start burning that credit card and get your stuff ordered early to make sure it gets here in time.

    Thank you my brother! I am counting the days. I cannot wait but being in Ohio and my truck being in Florida makes it easier.

    I'm game for going to Bradenton.. Maybe I'll have some fun stuff to put in my truck and since I don't know much about how to install it, maybe you guys can help! But we'll see how much $bling$ I can dish out of my CC before October gets here.. muahaha
