$2017 Parking lot build has started

The subject

Good luck guys, I wish I could have made it down there this year.

Nice! 

Word of advice: watch out for fire ants! I'm dead serious. We used to set up shop right where that was parked, and if you stand on that curb too long, out come the fire ants and you'll be doing the ants-in-your-pants dance. Not recommended! 

Good luck!

Live stream please for those of us stuck at our desks all day? 

Or photo updates every hour 

I'm looking forward to not helping and not being yelled at for helping this year.  

This is very barely relevant to my interests and I hope the build is documented.  I really like these in reg cab / 2wd / long bed configuration, especially after they got the later interior and Vortec stuffs in 1995/1996.

I was told these are the Motion Control truck line of suspension components.

I sat on that curb last year because I was tired and got woken up REAL quick.

This should keep me from falling asleep at my desk.  As far as fireants go....Notice no southern natives willingly sit in (or near) the grass. You only see that in TV commercials.

Following along :D

Wow, I was so distracted by the giant wheel spacer that I didn't even notice that!

basically, y'all are doing in one day what I did in 3 weeks

This is so awesome. Im sitting here 20min away from the hotel in my office wishing I was there wrenching. Im going to try and swing by this afternoon. I assume ya'll will be still be working?

In reply to B13Birk :

We'll still be working! Come on down

For sake of full disclosure, the C-notch was pre-done by Jeremy before driving the truck to Gville.  Also for logistical reasons the tan bed was added to the red truck by Jeremy back in Jax.  The issue became how to transport a tan bed to the hotel and then what to do with the old red bed once off.  

Before it is over, the truck will be all one color.  

I drove my Prius to Jeremy's in Jax, arrivng Weds Noon.  We loaded up a ton of gear and then loaded the Ford Probe onto a tow dolly.  The red truck towed the Ford Probe with Jeremy driving while I drove down the black S10.  We pulled all of this to the Jax airport and curbside we picked up Gameboy from his flight in from Barbados.  It was a spectical.
