BADLANDS Oct 6,7,8

[Rocketman]

Trying to drum up some more bodies for a Badlands trip this weekend. Should be good with some KY types coming up as well as the Mid Rivers Jeep Thing (Missouri) having their "Octoberfest" as well. Should be plenty of good wheeling.

I'm heading down Friday early AM. Haven't decided on lodging yet or whether I'll be roughing it at the campground.

I doubt I will be making it, still waiting on parts to arrive.

PM Steelfish, I think he is going.

 

[STEELFISH]

I'll be there, look for a white utilitarian built XJ on grooved 36's
I will probably be with a large group from www.ucora.org and www.4given4x4.com from Michigan.

Perhaps on the 7th, on the quad. While I cannot join you in the quarry or any of the trails that leave there, I can follow you on Orange and laugh when you get stuck

Or gouge your driver side...

 

[Rocketman]

Cool... looks like a busy weekend for the Badlands, especially if a large contingent from MI is coming.

 

[BRIANHO13]

Please stop talking about all the fun you are going to have, you are motivating me to bust my arse and fix my jeep. Still have to fix a wheel cylinder and shock mount that I busted on the last trip, on top of the tcase swap I am atempting.

 

[87manche]

you don't need that shock, and the wheel cylinder was barely leaking Just clamp it off, it's a trailer queen anyway.

Those two things are the small things.

 

[87manche]

so the lack of a t-case might be a problem

 

[BRIANHO13]

I have the tcases.......on my work bench. Its the shifting and drive shafts that might be the problem.

 

[STEELFISH]

just shift them both into lowrange. and go ...c'mon Or I have a seat open as well.

 

[BRIANHO13]

As fun as that sounds I couldn't keep up with the 4:1 in the tcase, couldn't imagine running around with both of them engaged (7.12:1). I am working on it.

 

[87manche]

hell, just run it in high range, you're high range is just as deep as my first gear low I think.
You and them crazy 5.13's

 

[Rev Den]

looks like I WILL be there on Saturday. the Jeep is not yet ready for fun, so I will be on my quad. Hopefully you guys will run some trails that I can tag along with....you never know...I may need a tug.

BTW - I do have a Warn 2500 on the quad, so I am sure that will help.

You do know...that now...IF you get stuck and I pull you out with that winch, the ribbing will never end......right?

99% that I will be there at 9AM.
