april 18 .. windrock

[jeepgeek2002]

Some guys on Cherokee Forum were wanting to go do some trails at Windrock. I dont think this will be any of the hard stuff. one guy has 31s and i have 32" street tires.. so it will be limited as to what we ll do.
But to get the tires dirty or just have fun on a sunday..

I'm down, need to break(in) the MJ. A powder puff run sounds like the ticket.

Anyone else?

 

[jeepgeek2002]

[gambit4000s]

Not only is it on all 4, It drives, stops, climbs hills, rock piles, and is quasi-legal for operation on public streets.

Ran into some familiar faces along way... some of you might recognize Sam's (tnxj00) buggy

doug i have a tie rod/draglink you can have for the YJ, in fact i have an entire yj d30 housing with spring over perches, still has the diff cover, extra spider gears, brake hardware (doesnt have unit bearings, unless Bob doesnt need them and will give them to you, i left them on the shafts for him)(also doesnt have gears and carrier)

ill give it all you if you want it, all for the low low price of an entry fee for a day at windrock next time im up there and your company ofcourse

What happened on the 44? Why did it wrap so bad?

 

[jeepgeek2002]

welds broke on spring over

 

[gambit4000s]

not enough welder... It's mostly repaired now, new dshaft, new perches, new (lower) ride height.

If you see how poorly the rear flexed, you can imagine how bad it road, the 2 extra leaves added for the utility box really killed the pack from the black truck i parted out. Not only were they too stiff, they were poorly preped and chafed the main leaf right behind the spring eye.

It was my own doing, I should have used a higher capacity welder to begin with. My small MIG welder with small wire didn't have enough penetration, it might have worked with FCAW and larger wire. I am a tard not an experienced welder, you won't see me building my own cage in the near future.
