    PREPARATION:
    min = just show up
    Good = take off your spare tire ahead of time
    Better = add removal of large skid plates that will block access to the underside
    Best = all of the above plus remove the plastic cover on the inside of your tailgate, remove the rubber gasket that blocks the cavity behind the front fender visible when you open the front door.

    A rainy forecast will postpone this event. I'll follow up with everyone the week of for a final headcount.

    The homemade jerky last year sold out quick. You guys want that again? If I remember correctly I did $5 for 5 oz bag.

    Preparation: power wash the undercarriage and put your spare tire in the bed. That's it..

    I spray the entire underside of your truck with the commercial sprayer, it's best to give the truck a good power wash and remove the spare tire before you get here.

    $40 per taco covers everything. I'll also have coffee and donuts on hand for everyone attending. Everyone is welcome to hang out, just keep in mind I'm in a cul-de-sac with lots of kids around so be careful driving in and out of the neighborhood. I'll post the address as we get closer.

    Other vehicles are welcome. Anything but a taco $50 including full size trucks.

    Looking forward to it. This will be the 5th FF meet. If anyone has questions let me know. I also have lots of references

    If you cant make Sunday and are in the area PM and I'll get you done at your convenience

    I'm going to empty my garage of taco things I'll never use. All random stuff will be free for the taking.

    Holy shit! You are awesome. Doing this for only $40? Guys, you will never find a deal like this.

    I wish I was in the area, I'd have mine done.

    Get wet and wash your truck good before you go.

    Seriously, tip the man.

    On Star Wars Day. Sweet!

    :hattip:

    Do what you did last time. Drive one a 1/2 mile then go back get the other, repeat. I know it takes some time, but getting it done at the same time? Priceless. :D

    I am about 95% sure that I can make this one. I may need to be the first one in and out. It's my 15 year anniversary.........but if it is done in the morning I should be good. Cant wait!

    Will a drive from the northeast corner dirty up the underside too much to spray?
