Interest? Eagle Rock run/3rd Quarter meeting/BBQ?

[Skully]

I'll make it. I've got to give myself 2 hrs to get there, so what time are we meeting. I have room for a cooler.

Are you bring Dakar again?

....hopefully he won't all over your head as you are driving :spin1:

 

[in4aride]

[snwy_mnt_jeep]

we should make a listaperwork of who is coming as in # of rigs/ people who will need a ride.

I would imagine the best meeting area in the springs will be the usual, Home Depot parking lot.

I will bring my cooler full of Ice, so there will be some extra room if people need to keep their beverages or whatever cold, or plenty of room in the Jeep if'n ya need to throw your cooler or a body or two in before we roll out.

your JK should be fine, won't get anything that you can't buff out anyhow.

http://videos.streetfire.net/video/O...ado_174643.htm


He said hes up to come on the run and take some footage. If he gets enough footage he can put together a DVD of the run for us.

I saw that video off of a post on colorado4x4.org?

Not sure if any of us old farts are photogenic :dunce:



I see Yellaheep is pimping out his number all over the place :wave: ...........hmmmm I wonder why?





................I have him in phone already under "Creeky Jeep" just in case I need something.

 

[Skully]

im so excited.....

Isn't that a lyric from an old 80's song? ".........im so excited, and I just can't hide it.........." something along those lines anyway. (Shows you how old I am.)

I have been through hell and back getting this 3.5-4" lift on today. Did the whole thing in the pouring rain on a muddy driveway. So, as long as I can figure out this rear axle vibration, then count on me being there, about 4" higher than before =) oh, and ill trade a case of beer for someone with GOOD knowledge of pinion angles/vibrations/t case drops..(anything having to do with a driveline vibration due to a lift) to look at my heep and diagnose the problem... and keep in mind, i drink GOOD BEER. I need this done ASAP! Id also like to find someone with a garage and a spring compressor so I can pop these 3/4" spacers up above my front coils so im level with the rear. (Rear sits at 4", front at 3.5") let me know. 719-205-5455.

You can rent most compressors at advance / Checkers no real cost you just return it

Some like their rigs sitting level but I like mine sitting higher in the rear so when I go wheeling and add the extra weight of water, gas, supplies, cooler, camping gear, etc. it doesn't do the opposite and rear end sag ..........just a thought to consider :looney: .....that and I mentioned this in the other thread but let it settle a little and see where it lies, your initial lift will net you higher until then, and it might equal out.

Spring compressors are the devil!

The easiest way to get the spacers in is to pull the tires and disconnect the brakes, sway bar links and shocks. Drop the axle as low as possible while keeping the body really high on some jackstands. Then use an engine hoist to raise the front of the rig untill you can pull the coils out enough to slip the spacers in.
