2007 Cherokee Crawl

I got to prerun lower 2 on Monday. If you have 34's+ and lockers you stand a chance of making it up the easy side...you also stand a good chance of popping a d30 shaft...got a few things I need to fix before next ride...got a nice rock swirly on the rear DS and had a bolt fall out of the tranny mount...funny since we just tightened them...

Questions, does building ever end? Order some parts today and the guys said if you ever plan to go over 6.5 inches or get this part. PLAN to go over ....hell I planned on 3 and I am 6.5 now....lol

Maybe I ll be finished by then...rock rails anyone tell how they attach. I want to fab my on and not sure how to mount them...yes I am noob and never looked at anyones.

I'll be at Tellico that weekend but not officially with the Crawl. A buddy of mine is getting married so we're hauling him up there for a weekend of wheeling and hanging out at a cabin we got in Tellico Plains, TN. Don't know if I'll be bringing our XJ yet or not. Maybe I'll catch some of ya'll on the trails sat. We will be headed out of Huntsville, AL friday around noonish and coming back sunday sometime.

I'll be in the Lapis Blue XJ on 33's. Other vehicles would be a silver Rubicon Unlimited on 35's, red 4 runner on 36's, red YJ on 36's, and a few others.

Yea it ends when it is built enought to not break! As for the rock rails you can search in the mod section under my username and there should be some pictures somewhere.

I'd love to go, but i might not be able to make it up until friday morning. Would that be alright? I have a DD on a 4.5" with 32's and i'm just double checking to make sure there are trail where i won't bang up my XJ too bad. Just let me know. Thanks
Jeremy

 

[Kudzu]

You'll be fine...It ispossible to bang it up but if you take it slow and have a good spotter you'll be surprised where all you can go.

As to coming up on Friday no problem...a lot of people come in late Thursdy night Friday morning.

Thanks, do i just go to the tellico website and contact them to reserve a campsite? As far as safety stuff goes, is everything i have to have; towhook, recovery straps, ect, listed somewhere so i don't show up and don't have something? Thanks

E-Mail them your reservation request here:
http://www.crawfordsattellico.com/

A good rule of thumb when attending a trail ride is to bring along:

1: Recovery straps (the kind without metal hooks)
2: Tree strap
3: Sturdy hook points front and rear (a hook simply bolted to the XJ's uniframe will not suffice here-it can rip out at the most inoportune moment and potentially hurt someone)
4: Hi Lift jack strongly recommended
5: Full sized spare tire
6: First aid kit that includes insect and snake bite meds
7: Plenty of food and fluids (you never know when you may have to spend a night in the woods)
8: CB radio strongly recommended
9: Extra fluids for your XJ (1 quart each for axles, engine, and trans, along with 1 gallon of coolant)
10: And the most important one of all: Bring a good attitude!

Wish i could go! I recent bought my XJ, and have yet to build it at all, other than the 29's I took off my wrangler. And i wont have my lift or tires for another 6 or 7 weeks...money's tight for an upcoming college freshman! So...maybe next year!?

 

[Rambo]

Just emailed Crawfords to reserve a primative site....


:looney:

 

[milkman3848]

Got my camp site reserved

 

[Ghost]

I think he told me I will be at 21.

 

[RedHeep]

Me and 87manche in bunky 4.

 

[milkman3848]

I'm planning on coming up there late thursday night, is that ok, or do they not let you in past a certain time?

 

[Tim88XJ]

You should be fine, just check in with them in the morning. -Tim

 

[landscaper]

Are most of you guys staying at crawfords. do they still have any space available. Xj is not ready but I will be there any way if any one needs a rider or I can ride my atv.

 

[milkman3848]

I reserved my campsire last week and they still had them, so i would guess they do. Send them a e-mail. I think, i've never been, but i'm thinking you can ride your ATV

 

[MrMom]

yeah they are still wide open from what I was told fri.

 

[R_jeep]
