Today's update to everyone. We've basically finished up with the final touches for all of the evenings (Meet and Greet, Zaks, Raffle Night) and it should all go smoothly. Make sure you check out the schedule for times and all.
And now, at roughly the two weeks before folks start leave to head out mark, it's crunch time! I friendly reminder - go over your rig. I had mine checked out a few weeks ago, just to be safe (they said my out tie rods weren't gone, but were right at the edge) and had another check done today when I had new shoes put on (33" MT/Rs, if you're wondering). Turns out it's time for brakes all around and I've got an inner tie rod that's popping. I'll do the brake job myself this weekend and have the tie rods (inners and outers) replaced next Tuesday, then an alignment right after that.
This is why it's important to have all of the things checked, or check them yourself. Little things like this pop up and next thing you know, you're scrambling. Also, it helps prevent breakage on the trail - no one wants to be replacing tie rod ends on the trail.
