Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

I keep forgetting to post this but funny story with a moral. Last week I was running around after work getting ready for my buddy to show up so we could go get another XJ. Well I already had an XJ on the trailer that needed to come off. So I back my truck down, line up the ball, drop the trailer down and pull forward enough that I can roll the XJ off. Well for the few who havent seen my driveway it slopes down, so anyway I hope in it and release the ebrake and it wont buge, so I hop out and give it alittle nuge and get it to move and hop back in. Now Im half kneeled on the floor because Colin grabbed the drivers seat and I have my foot on the brake but I realize Im now moving down the driveway and the XJs not moving, the trailer is. Im now heading for my engine hoist thats right in front of my garage door. Luckily with quick thinking I released the brake and dropped the front tires off the trailer and hit the brake stopping everything. I then got out chocked the front tires of the XJ and grabbed the neck of the trailer and pulled it back out from under the XJ. Disaster avoided. Moral of the story: even if your in a hurry make sure you double check all your trailer connections and do everything right because tryin to save time can cost you. Also if I had the ramps down it probably wouldn't have moved. My neighbor walked over afterward and said he watched the whole thing and said it was hysterical, I wish he got it on video.

So that was a fun fabbing weekend up at Ross's.

I also forgot to say, I hate my damn f*cking TomTom GPS. It got me pulled over 200 yards from Ross's house on Saturday morning when I was going there.
(I forgot to tell you this Colin because I only remembered when I was leaving). But has anyone here ever had to show an ALIGNMENT printout to a cop? The cop asked for my license, reg, and inspection reports. Since when the heck have you had to carry those around? For some strange reason, I had the last 3 years worth.
The cop asked me if my sticker was legit, and was wondering how I got one, blah blah blah, and in the stack of papers, I had my alignment printout, and he was like "I'll take that too, so this is after you got these big tires on?"

The best part was, the cop was already pulled over, he just walked out into the middle of the street, and told me to pull over infront of the truck that was already pulled over.

i did not get asked for an allignment report, but they did ask for my inspection.

Oh, that ARB bumper is the whore of the NAC chapter. It started off with Bill's Jeep, then it went to Carmelo's Jeep, now its on my Jeep, and as of yesterday part of it resides in Colin's Jeep as well.

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

what was the reason for the stop?
Ticket/warning?
sounds like he was bored.

The reason for the stop was my Jeep, and I pulled into this like long road, that had a gate at the end, and it has a "No trespassing, no uturn" sign (saw the no tresspassing sign after I pulled in and turned around, and didn't see the no uturn until I went to leave Ross's one time. I pulled in to call Ross because I couldn't find his house, and my GPS told me that was where it was. I also didn't go into the area, just the driveway off the road. The guy asked me what I was doing pulling into there, I told him I was looking for Ross's address, and he never helped me out on that one).

No ticket or anything, the cop told me he didn't give a crap about it all, after he went through and checked everything was legit, and told me I will run into someone who does, and get busted for it. He didn't even walk back to his car and run my stuff.

i think they just like picking on mark, they saw another lifted XJ that wasnt me.

Ross and I get into his Jeep to go get some stuff, and his words were "You better not get me pulled over since you're in the car."
Him and Colin kept giving me crap that I would get the ticket if Ross got pulled over, they would come over to my window.

i did not get asked for an allignment report, but they did ask for my inspection.

They guy asked to see it because it was in my stack of papers I pulled out of my glove compartment.

Yeah Im sure my "What the F" face was amusing at first. Its not like you sit in a jeep on trailer and just roll away everyday.



Mark - next time your up this way those tires are off and waiting.
