I still have some "checklist" items to complete on the Rampage, but I'm in pretty good shape with those. I am fully committed to having it buttoned up and ready to run on Sept 7th.
I probably have more to do on the trailer that I'm using than on the Rampage itself. I am borrowing an enclosed race car trailer from a friend who races a sports car. I think he only used the trailer once last year, before undergoing knee replacement surgery. Due to a bunch of complications from that surgery, he is still not back in commission, and hasn't done any maintenance or improvements to the trailer.
The trailer was basically "Rode hard and put away wet" last year, so there are several areas that I'm having to address before feeling good about taking off across the country with this trailer (tires, brakes, bearings, electrical issues).
My plan is to depart from St Louis on Thursday morning, with the intent of arriving in Wendover on Friday evening.
See you on the salt.
Steve.
