I need to go there sometime soon - to pick up my hard top. Would be good to have someone with me, and I know a lot of people have been meaning to get out there.
Thought I'd ask.
Only problem is that I need to go during the week. Am traveling for the next 3 weekends.
Thanks!

I may be in depending on Date and Time. I need Rear Fenders. Thanks for posting this - it would make it more fun to go as a group. I will buy ya lunch/dinner for driving

Let me know what time works for you and I will leave early one day. Excited to see Bronco Hut.

sounds good. I'm in the middle of moving and also a disc brake conversion on the Bronco. So I'm thinking either on Thurs or next Tues would be the day I'd like to go.
And a disclaimer: I'm going to get my hard top. That means I'm still cruising with the bikini top and my heater doesn't work very well. So if you want to come, dress for the elements! And another disclaimer, the back seat has no seatbelt.
I'm also happy to pick up parts for anyone while I'm out there and just drive em back to Denver which will save you shipping. But it would be nice to have someone with me who can help me get the hard top back on and enough bolts to keep it from flying off on the way home.
So let me know!

I don't know about this, it sounds like he's going to tie you in a harness and use you as ballast to keep the top from blowing off.

I think next Tues is best for me. I'm moving this week and traveling this weekend, so I have my work cut out for me. So I'll plan on meeting up with you, Entourage, can pick you up in Downtown, just tell me where. And whoever else wants to ride in the back.

Did you get with Mitch this week? Let me know how things go.

I can meet you anywhere off I-25. The 6th Avenue exit would be way easy for me. I forgot to ask if there room in your truck for 2 rear lower fenders in your Bronco?

If you guys end up going in the early afternoon, I'd be interested in going along. I could drive as well, probably running 83 south out of Parker since it is a nice ride to their place. I could pull my trailer if we need to pick up a bigger item, or... we could just jam into one bronco and that way zillacon would have to buy a bronco to drive back since the rest of the space would be full of parts.

I'm sure we could make that work

Either or. I'll be picking up Entourage at 3. Jump in if you want, or meet us there!

I'll wait and see what you guys come up with and I may tag along if there is still a seat available.
Let me know. I'm happy to bring up to passengers and that's about all who have expressed interest so far. And yes, you can drive home in your new rig since we'll be bringing back some fenders!

I wish i could go, for the very least to see their Broncos and what they are working on but I work during the week and wouldn't be able to go. Maybe next time.

tomorrow's the big field trip. Entourage, I can pick you up right in downtown denver if you want. I have a 2:00 appt. to look at a new office space which is on 16th and Blake.
So I will be done by 3:00.
Anyone else coming?
Thanks!

Are you picking up a Hard Top or a Soft Top? I thought I read a post that you were still deciding. Guess the clock is ticking :).

Hard top. Mine is just being stored at Bronco Hut, it was mine when I bought it, just had no place to put it during the summer this year. So I just need to

it back on and secure it "for the most part" for now.

I can meet you anywhere I can park for a while like a fuel station, market, Starbuck's, etc. You tell me where is convenient for you from Blake with access to the I-25 - I guess you would get on at Colfax? Let me know what works for you and I will be there at 3 PM.
FYI - I am just riding down - I am not getting fenders today so there is room for a couple more guys to ride down.

Would you guys mind seeing if they have a side window weather strip that is getting thrown out, I just need about 8-10 inches to make a patch for my trailer project.
Thanks, Kirk

Thanks Entourage, I'd love to come but I couldn't find cover for a meeting this afternoon and then I'm running over to Rox Crusher's place to help him put his D44 back together, next time.
