Stupid Newbie -> get your torch ready

I didn't say anything about NAXJA events or members. It does happen and he should be aware of the fact that not everyone has his welfare at heart. Please don't be reading into my post what isn' there:exclamati

It was implied. You obviously have never been around any NAXJA runs or NAXJA people for that matter. Both are top notch in my book.

Oh, and I'm not replying to your hateful, "e-tough guy" PM either. You need to get a little thicker skin if you can't handle it, you'll never make it here if you don't. I encourage you to stick around, I think you'll like it if you give it time and look at it with an open mind.

uh-oh! new e-tough guy?

Send him my way...

I can run up and shank him in his kidney when he rings the doorbell.

Same here. I've never been on a NAXJA run official or unofficial where someone was "forced". I've actually seen others go to great lengths to help out so someone does not get any trail scars.

Sounds like Buckeye's wheeling buddies aren't really buddies.

Derik is right, i already have some dents, dings, and scratches, but that is just character.

Thanks for the advise guys, i run with a good bunch of guys, low budget boys like me that still have to drive their rig home, then to work the next day. We might be pussys in some of your eyes, but hey we still have fun, still make some runs, and still work together as a team on and off the trail. We usually help each other build and get our rigs ready before every run as well. Here is our local yahoo site if there are any of you local to the kansas area that dont mind running with more than just xjs or jeeps in a more family type setting.
http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/KS_Outlaw_4x4/


We will alot of times go out of our way as a whole group to get around a trail that looks like even one person out of the group is not going to make it up. Just so something like what you where talking about does not happen. At the same time, if you do think you can make it, and want to run the trail, we will stop, you do your thing, and we will help you if you dont make it.

Im not a noob to wheeling, having grown up atving on many of the trails that i now run in the jeep. And this is not the first rig that i have built, or helped build. I had an IH before this, and wow, what a job it is to build one of those. I do watch this site every day, looking for advise, reading others mistakes, and i also have 4 or 5 guys here local running jeeps that i get alot of advise from too. From what i have seen, i really like the Family that NAXJA seems to build within its members, and i look forward to getting to run with many of you.

As for the jeep, for the time being, it is going to stay pretty much how you see it in the pics. Im getting my big ammo box ready for the back so i can carry tools, straps, tiedowns, etc. I still need to get a HI-Lift, and do some thing with my spare tire (roof, bumper, drag it with a rope: you know the options). The only machanical work that i have or will be doing is: cap, rotor, plugs, wires, filters, muffler, exhaust manifold, diy swaybar discos, remove rear sway, and adjustable lower control arms. Custom self fab skids.

Before doing any more lifting, tires or anything else, im going to run it for a year or so, get a good feel for it. At some point i would like to go with a ford 8.8 discs, lockers, 4.56 or 4.27s and maybe up to 33s with enough lift to do 33s comfortable. I have no plans at this time of hacking, caging, or full coil. I do think that stuff is cool as hell, and want a full on rock only rig, but just a champaine dream on a beer budget right.

As for salina having something to do, not a damn thing, i guess you could hang out with the local xj guys. But other than that, nothing really.
 
yes salina is ghey. yeah it sucks worry about going to the trails that are hour and half away and not brakeing anything so you can drive home and to school the next day.

Hour & a half--- not a big deal. Try 13 or 24 hours. That's when you really worry about breaking. JIM.
 
We are very lucky where we are to have some real nice areas close by. Tuttle Creek is about 1.5 hours. Cassville Mo is about 6, Kansas Rocks is about 5(i think), and Disney OK is 6 or 7 i think.

Most people from here go up to Tuttle to play just cause it is so close, and that is a good all around place to dial in your rig before going to kansas rocks or disney
