Round 3 South Bend Meet and Greet.

[tallbluexj]

Hated to miss today, but I used up the weekend pulling the motor. I'm not out too much, I will see most of you at the next MJC. The XJ looks like it's going thru open heart surgery. Check out the block damage after #1 connecting rod let go. :wierd:

Hopefully will have donor motor put in within a week or two. Then watch out, I'm overdue for 4x4 fun!

Well I followed the directions but couldn't find Douglas Rd -- wandered around Mishawaka hoping to find it but no dice. Anyone know where this place called Jeep Acres is - heard its either on 2 or 20 between LaPorte and South Bend. Took 20 home but didn't see it - probably on 2 somewhere

 

[Randy Curran]

Don't bother with Jeep Acres. Really overpriced!

Could not find douglas?!?!?!?! What road where you on?

Douglas runs into 31 by St. Marys/Holy Cross. Right by the Toll Road

Ironwood also intersects into douglas and obvisouly grape road too.

I should have PMed you my cell. DANG, sorry my bad dude.

I drive by Jeep Acers all the time, I know the Owner.

Hate to break more bad news to you he is selling the place, acutally it maybe sold as I type. He is $$$$$ thou.

There is a white 98 XJ for sale on his property with a yellow beacon on top.

As you are headed West on 2 toward chicago/laporte he is on the left had side of St. Rd. 2. I believe he is before Tulip Road.

I did take a couple of pics on the way there today. Saw this beauty at a mini mart on the South Side of South Bend.

It was being towed behind a flamed out Ford.

You should see the little Ford Escort hatchback lifted by adding a frame.

Really funny I have seen it about 4 times laugh everytime I see it.

It is near 31, near the gas station you were at.>>>I think I know were you are at.

I don't think I have see that Mustang before, I think I remember seening the truck.

 

[Blaine B.]

Is that regular at $2.37?

You guys have it good!

 

[Randy Curran]

That guy was in my old club. Fullsize Bronco frame. Um, yeah he wasn't alone in my club with the car/truck. A guy down the street has a full size Olds w/frame welded directly on top of a full size Blazer frame. He got pulled over the first day he drove it and got a Police escort home were it's now been sitting for roughly 2+ years.

2.37 if you get a car wash. 2.47 if you don't.
Some of those car/trucks are a bit scary.

Favorite song of the month, "I married a zombie". And I'm not mixing bdub wings with reheated crunch wrap supremes anymore.

 

[xjjeepthing]

I think my song of the month is either :music: Dirtnap or Rodent Boy and Penis Girl. :guitar: Randy Rocks

 

[green50gt]

I've seen that mustang down at Halloween Havoc before. Seeing it makes me giggle.

 

[SwissArmyJeep]

I rock.

Damn Man! You really DO!
I just started that CD this morning (I can wear ear buds while working), I may Listen to it all day!
Are you playing anywhere local?
-Worth the wait-:clap: :clap: :clap:

Great Winterfest trail report by SW_MI_XJ at lunch! looked like a good time was had by all (execept the armadillos).

 

[stupidweirdo]

I think that band is no longer, but he's trying to put another one together. Or something like that, maybe I'm completely wrong.

 

[Randy Curran]

Yep I'm in the process of putting together a new band called Baby Grenade.

 

[SwissArmyJeep]

Do Keep us posted!!!
:woohoo:
